Chartering profile

  • 10 Capesizes on index-linked long term TC-out
  • Two Capesize fixed on 1-year time charters at an average daily gross rate of \$14,175
  • Four Kamsarmax vessels on long term TC-out at fixed rate
  • One Panamax vessels on long term TC out expiring in Q3 2017
  • Remaining fleet is trading spot, in spot pools or on short term charters

Vessel Operating Expenses

Maintaining competitive OPEX levels

  • Fully-burdened Opex includes dry docking and management fees
  • Based on 6 Ultramaxes, 19 Panamax / Kamsarmax and 30 Capesize vessels
  • One vessel dry docked in Q1 2016 and two in Q3 2016; no vessels dry docked in Q4 2016
  • G&A net of management fees below \$11 million per year gives a cost of \$480 per day over owned fleet

Dry bulk market

Utilization improved in the fourth quarter; still at historically low levels

Supply, demand and utilization rate - dry bulk ships 10,000 dwt +

Seaborne trade of dry bulk commodities (major importers)

Source: Maritime Analytics

China Rest of the world

Chinese apparent steel consumption & rebar prices

Gross profit (steel price minus cost of coking coal and iron ore; all prices spot)

Gross profit using Cn coking coal price, Au iron ore price and Tangshan steel billett price

Iron Ore Exports – Australia and Brazil Keep Market Share

Iron ore exports by region

Imports into Asia were strong throughout 2016; Europe turned in the second half of 2016

Seaborne coal imports by major importing countries

Strong Electricity Consumption Supports Coal Demand

Net Fleet Growth has Slowed Significantly

Handymax / Supramax Handysize

The orderbook may be reduced to 3% of the global fleet by the end of 2017

Downside Case for Supply Growth

  • Construction has not even commenced on 25% of the orders (in dwt) scheduled for delivery within end of H1 2017
  • Financial difficulties are forcing shipyards to scale back capacity or cease operations
  • Lack of availability of financing is contributing to delays and limiting new ordering

Increasing S&P Volume at Historically Low Prices

Panamax values and earnings

Cautiously optimistic based on improved supply / demand balance

Upside potential Downside risks

  • Continued increase in imports to China due to reduced domestic production of iron ore and/or coal
  • Stronger global growth with increase in steel and energy demand worldwide
  • Orderbook slippage and cancellations due to financial difficulties at shipyards and/or non-performance from owners
  • New regulations and higher investment costs leads to higher scrapping

  • Change in Chinese policy regarding coal production

  • Reduced in stimuli leading to lower demand for steel and energy
  • Higher replacement of coal to other energy sources
  • Lower scrapping if rates above OPEX for sustained period of time
  • New ordering motivated by new regulations and narrowing spreads to newbuilding prices

Expect rate volatility in the near term as supply / demand balance is still fragile and single events will impact the market. Longer term fundamentals stronger as long as new ordering is minimal.

Breakeven levels well below historical rate environment
