The first half of 2022 has brought unprecedented drama in the world around us. War in Europe, a new energy policy landscape, inflation, rising interest rates and a volatile stock market. As always, the tanker market reacts quickly to external events – and volatility has been unusually high so far this year. Unfortunately, the short-term outlook for geopolitical stability is uncertain at the time of writing. However, for the product tanker market the future looks brighter.
SINCE THE TRAGIC INVASION of Ukraine at the end of February, it has been a turbulent and shaky time in the tanker market. World leaders were quick to condemn Russia and most shipowners and operators, including Concordia Maritime, made their own decisions to exclude Russian ports and cargoes even before formal sanctions were in place. However, a small number of shipowners chose to continue trading with Russia – which has at times been very lucrative.
Russian crude oil and oil products previously exported to Europe have started to find new markets in China, India, South America and elsewhere. In Europe, Russian deliveries have gradually been replaced by increased imports from the US and Asia. Overall, this has had a dramatic effect on cargo flows. This, combined with growing international demand for energy, OPEC's difficulties in scaling up oil production and high refinery utilisation, has contributed to a marked increase in both tonne-miles and demand for tonnage. In the short to medium term, we believe this situation will persist.
The impact on the product tanker market has been particularly strong during the second quarter, but the crude oil
segment has also developed positively. According to Clarksons, average earnings for an MR vessel on the spot market at the beginning of the quarter were around USD 19,000 per day. By the end of June, the figure had risen to around USD 43,000 per day. The time charter market also showed positive development during the quarter, with average earnings for a one-year time charter increasing from USD 14,250 per day to USD 20,500.
In parallel, the persistently weak VLCC crude oil market finally took an upward turn. The market is dominated by shipments to China, which are often conducted on slightly longer contracts with fixed rates. This has had a dampening effect on the crude oil transport market.
Continued high bunker prices during the quarter have once again highlighted the difference in earning potential between vessels of new and older design. With their width and larger cargo intake, our P-MAX vessels have higher consumption compared with standard MR vessels.
Our own operations have progressed smoothly during the quarter and there are no accidents or incidents to report.
It is pleasing to see the Company's result finally turning to profit, which amounted to MSEK 35.7 (–89.7) and is a significant improvement from 12 months ago.
During the quarter, the Suezmax vessel Stena Supreme was sold and delivered to her new owners before the approaching scheduled docking. Concordia Maritime had the vessel on a bareboat charter with purchase options. Thanks to rising asset prices, we were able to conduct a transaction on good terms. The sale had a positive liquidity effect of approximately USD 4 million.
Earnings for our remaining vessels are based on the time charter agreement with Stena Bulk, which guarantees earnings of USD 15,500 per day and vessel. In addition, we are also entitled to profit-sharing corresponding to 50% of the vessels' earnings that exceed the base rate.
For the first six months of 2022, total profit-sharing amounted to approximately MUSD 1.9, as a result of the strong market recovery in the second quarter. The high spot market is not directly affecting profit-sharing as Stena Bulk has chosen to employ the vessels on contracts of varying lengths, some being short market-related contracts and others being medium fixed-rate time charters.
During the quarter, we decided to put the "container project" on hold. The technical study shows that it is technically feasible to convert P-MAX vessels into 2,100 TEU container vessels, but the increasing economic uncertainty has made it difficult to reach an agreement with an end customer. However, we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to increase both the return and value from our vessels wherever possible.
The strong performance of the spot market has also resulted in a rise in vessel values. This also applies to older quality tonnage. However, ship recycling decreased during the quarter. Prices paid at recycling yards have also fallen significantly (from USD 675 to USD 560 per LDT in India). The average recycling age for product tankers is now about 23 years.
As previously reported, the current order book for product tankers is low, at an average of approximately 4.8% of the existing fleet. Most yards are also fully booked to 2025 with new gas and container vessels. So, even with an increase in new tanker orders, delivery times would be long. Net fleet
growth in the coming years is therefore expected to remain low. Overall, we have a positive view of tanker market fundamentals.
In the tanker market, there is much talk about two factors: "energy security" and "demand destruction", which could have a major impact on future development.
Increased demand for energy and the absence of Russian oil has caused energy prices to soar – with growing pressure to increase energy production from both nuclear and renewable energy sources. This may be the right way to go, but in the short term the focus will remain on achieving sufficient crude oil and gas production to ensure access to energy for businesses and households – energy security.
This could obviously have a positive effect on the tanker market. At the same time, we are likely to enter an international economic downturn. The extent to which a significant slowdown in economic growth – and high energy prices – will contribute to demand destruction in terms of energy demand and energy-related transport remains to be seen.
After the end of the second quarter, we entered into an agreement for the sale of Stena Paris to a Greek company. The primary aim of the sale was to take advantage of the increased ship valuations, but there was also an age factor. In a strong second-hand market for mature quality tonnage, we are therefore now taking the opportunity to sell our oldest vessel.
Gothenburg, August 2022 Erik Lewenhaupt, CEO
Result for the quarter was SEK 35.7 (–89.7) million. EBITDA was SEK 102.7 (–16.7) million. The improvement in earnings compared with the same quarter in the previous year is mainly a consequence of total profit-sharing of SEK 18.1 million due to the strong freight market in Q2, and the sale of Stena Supreme. The sale had a positive effect of SEK 39.0 million on earnings.
After delivery of Stena Paris to her new owner, Concordia Maritime's product tanker fleet will consist of seven 65,200 dwt P-MAX vessels. Six of the vessels are employed under a five-year time charter contract with Stena Bulk. The contract runs until 2026.
The seventh vessel, Stena Polaris, has been chartered out to Crowley Government Services Inc. since the beginning of 2022. The bareboat contract is for a minimum period of 12 months with annual options up to the year 2026. Crowley has in turn chartered the vessel to US Military Sealift Command.
The base rate for the P-MAX vessels out on time charters with Stena Bulk during the quarter was USD 15,500 per day. Earnings for Stena Polaris correspond to a time charter contract of approximately USD 18,000 per day.
As a result of the strong product tanker market in the second quarter, profit-sharing was applicable for the vessels under the Stena Bulk contract. The profit-sharing is based on average earnings during the period 1 January–30 June 2022 that exceed the base rate of USD 15,500 per day.
The surplus is shared equally with the time charter partner Stena Bulk. Total profit-sharing amounted to SEK 18.1 million. Including profit-sharing, average earnings for the vessels contracted out to Stena Bulk during the quarter amounted to the equivalent of USD 18,500 per day. Average earnings for the first half of the year were USD 16,900.
Stena Bulk's employment of the vessels during the quarter was a combination of time charter and spot. More information about vessel employment can be found page 20. Further information about the agreement with Stena Bulk is available at concordiamaritime.com.
During the quarter, the Suezmax fleet consisted of the Suezmax tanker Stena Supreme (158,000 dwt), which is on a long-term charter. The vessel was employed on the spot market via Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool. The vessel was sold in May 2022 and delivered to the customer at the end of June 2022.
Average earnings per day for Stena Supreme during the quarter were USD 24,600 (12,100). The sale has generated

2) Available liquid funds, including unutilised credit facilities, amounted to SEK 88.9 million at the end of Q2 2022. The Board considers that existing bank financing and other sources of funding are sufficient to secure the Group's financing for at least the next 12-month period. In addition to the scheduled repayments, the Company also repaid the loan for Stena Supreme during the quarter. Overall, the sale of the vessel corresponded to a positive cash effect of approximately USD 4 million.
a positive liquidity effect of approximately USD 4 million. Unlike the P-MAX vessels, the transaction and proceeds from the sale of Stena Supreme are not subject to any special conditions from the lending banks. The surplus will therefore strengthen Concordia Maritime's cash position.

Average earnings per day for the spot market amounted to USD 33,700 (6,900). The time charter market has also strengthened, and a one-year contract for an MR tanker was about SEK 17,000 per day at the end of the quarter, partly depending on the vessel's design.
The strong performance of the spot market has resulted in a rise in the market values of vessels. This also applies to older quality tonnage.

There were no scheduled drydock inspections and no repairs in drydock during the quarter.
Covid-19 continues to present some challenges in terms of crew changes. Restrictions have been eased in many places during the quarter and, with the exception of China, there are now well-functioning procedures for crew changes.
The war in Ukraine is affecting the Company's operations in several ways. These include payments to Russian officers. However, the manning company Northern Marine Management has found temporary solutions for the Russian officers (just over 70 in number) who work on Concordia Maritime's vessels.
The Parent Company's functional currency is SEK, but the majority of the transactions in the Group are in USD. The Group's result is generated in USD, which means the result in SEK is a direct function of the SEK/USD exchange rate trend.
The closing amount in the hedging reserve at the end of the quarter was SEK 0.6 (–17.8) million. The closing balance for the translation reserve in equity amounted to SEK 502.8 (434.6) million at the reporting date. The changes are recognised in equity through OCI.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.8 (39.8) million. During the quarter, Concordia Maritime did not buy or sell any assets classified as short-term investments in the Company's balance sheet.
During the second quarter, Concordia Maritime's available liquidity increased in connection with the sale of Stena Supreme. The sale had a positive liquidity effect of approximately USD 4 million, strengthening the Company's available liquid funds.
The Annual General Meeting on 5 May 2022 voted to reduce the Company's share capital by SEK 194,338,384, in accordance with the Board's proposal, in order to cover the Company's accumulated loss for accounting purposes while better aligning the size of the share capital with the Company's operations.
Repayments of bank loans of SEK 252.0 (63.3) million have been made during the first half of the year, including SEK 198.5 (0.0) million related to the sale of vessels.
After the sale of Stena Supreme, the fleet is defined as one cash-generating unit. An impairment loss/write-up is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cashgenerating unit exceeds/falls below its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value (external valuations) and value in use (future discounted cash flows). In general, we have seen a market appreciation in asset values of between 10–15% in the first half of the year. At the end of the first half of 2022, the cash-generating unit's carrying amount did not exceed its recoverable amount and there was therefore no impairment.
The number of employees in the Group on 30 June 2022 was 3 (3). The Group employed 429 (596) temporary seagoing employees through Stena Sphere's manning company, Northern Marine Management.
The Parent Company's sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 (15.9) million, with intragroup invoicing representing 0.0 (0.0) of this amount. The Parent Company's available liquid funds at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 20.6 (216.1) million, which includes receivables from Group companies in the cash pool and unutilised credit facilities.
Concordia Maritime operates in an industry where demand for the Company's services is affected by business cycles and seasonal effects, as well as factors of a more temporary nature.
The main risks associated with Concordia Maritime's operations and the industry – and which could have a significant negative impact on the Group's operations, strategy, profitability, cash flow, shareholder value or reputation – are divided into four categories: strategic risks, operational risks, compliance risks and financial risks. Sustainability risks are integrated into the risk categories. More information about risks and risk management can be found in Concordia Maritime's 2021 annual report, which is available at www.concordiamaritime.com.
None of Concordia Maritime's vessels were involved in any incident that resulted in discharges of bunker oil or cargo during the quarter. There were also no workplace incidents resulting in an individual employee being unable to return to a work shift on the following day. This result is a consequence of extensive and continuous work on board the vessels.
None of Concordia Maritime's vessels were involved in any piracy-related incidents during the quarter.
Seven vetting inspections were conducted during the quarter. There were 23 observations recorded during these inspections, resulting in an average of 3.3 observations per inspection. No port state control resulted in the detention in port of any Concordia Maritime vessel during the quarter.
Total bunker consumption during the quarter decreased by 38% compared compared with Q2 2021. This was due to the fact that there were fewer vessels in 2022 (two vessels were sold in Q1 2022). The EEOI, which measures vessels' energy efficiency and CO2 emissions, showed a slight deterioration for the fleet. The measure is affected by factors such as how the end customer decides to employ vessels.
Concordia Maritime's technical partner Northern Marine Management is actively engaged in efforts to reduce all types of waste from vessels. This includes a project, which has been in progress since 2019, aimed at reducing the use of single-use plastics on board Concordia Maritime's vessels.
Concordia Maritime monitors developments regarding shipping regulations issued by the IMO, the EU and other relevant bodies. The IMO's short-term greenhouse gas reduction measures are likely to require fleet adaptations in the coming years. The IMO's EEXI and CII regulations enter into force in 2023 and an evaluation of effective technical and operational initiatives required to ensure compliance is underway.
To comply with the EEXI regulations, EPL (Engine Power Limitation) will have to be installed on the P-MAX vessels during 2023. In short, this enables a vessel to limit its maximum engine power,which is not expected to have any negative operational impact. The investment is expected to amount to approximately USD 35,000 per vessel. Iceberg off Greenland, seen from Stena Polaris.
In early 2022, Stena Polaris was chartered out to Crowley Government Services Inc. Crowley has in turn chartered the vessel to US Military Sealift Command, which uses her to transport fuel to bases around the world. In August, the vessel delivered fuel to the Thule air base in Greenland. The air base in north west Greenland was built in 1943 and houses around 600 military personnel. Fuel is delivered once a year, when ice conditions permit.
