  • CABU and CLEANBU OPEX/day down \$1 886/day and \$747/day Q-o-Q respectively mainly due to:
  • Timing of procurement and crewing
  • CLEANBU Q4 OPEX impacted by costs for claimed yard guarantee repairs
  • COVID-19 management plan phased-out
  • Limited unscheduled off-hire with 10 days in Q1 2023 mainly related to minor operational issues

Summary and outlook

Dry bulk rebound on the top of strong tanker and fuel markets in 2H 2023 ?

Historical pricing and forward derivative pricing1

Source: Klaveness, Baltic Exchange and Clarksons SIN as of May 2023 KMAX dry bulk vessel = P5TC, LR1 tanker = TC5 TCE, VLSFO = VSLFO Singapore. Forward TC5 TCE based on TC5 FFA assessment and forward VLSFO price.

Fixed rate tanker CoA secured at strong levels - full dry bulk market upside

Trade Expiry % of dry or wet
capacity2
CSS Dec. 2027 ~ 8%
CPP Dec. 2023 ~ 9%
Dry bulk Dec. 2025 ~23%

Comments

  • Close to fully booked for Q2 2023
  • Fixed-rate coverage for open CABU tanker capacity in 2H 2023 is likely to be concluded over the next months
  • 2 years T/C on MV Bass represents the only fixed-rate CLEANBU tanker coverage for 2H 2023
  • Most of the dry bulk capacity open for 2H 2023

1) Coverage for total fleet as per 2 May 2023, fixed rate coverage =fixed rate contracts/cargoes + FFAs. See enclosures for more details. 2) In percent of total wet or total dry capacity in 2023

Q2 2023 set to be another strong quarter

Q2 2023 TCE-earnings guiding vs. actual last two quarters

Estimate based on booked cargoes and expected employment for open capacity basis forward freight pricing (FFA)1 )

1) Note: CABU and CLEANBU TCE Earnings USD per on-hire day are alternative performance measure (please see slide 36 in enclosures for more details)

Future proof and profitable business model

1) Calculated based on standard vessels (Panamax/Kamsarmax dry, MR-tankers and LR1-tankers) making the same transportation work in the same trades as performed by KCC's CABU and CLEANBU vessels in the relevant period. 2) EEOI in the current main trades to/from Australia and South America excluding voyages with extraordinary long ballasting.
