CONSOLIDATED INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
GROUP STRUCTURE
Set out below is d'Amico International Shipping Group's structure as at 30 June 2022:
D'AMICO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING GROUP
d'Amico International Shipping S.A. (DIS, the Group, d'Amico International Shipping or the Company) is an international marine transportation company, part of the d'Amico Group (d'Amico), which traces its origins to 1936. As at 30 June 2022, d'Amico International Shipping controls, mainly through d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. (Ireland), its fully owned subsidiary, a fleet of 35.0 vessels, of which 25.0 owned and bareboat vessels (with purchase obligations), with an average age of approximately 6.9 years, compared to an average in the product tankers industry of 12 years for MRs and LR1s (25,000 – 84,999 dwt). All DIS' vessels are double-hulled and are primarily engaged in the transportation of refined oil products, providing worldwide shipping services to the major oil companies and trading houses. All the vessels are compliant with IMO (International Maritime Organization) regulations, including MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), with the requirements of oil-majors and energy-related companies and other relevant international standards. Based on MARPOL/IMO rules, cargoes such as palm oil, vegetable oil and other chemicals can only be transported by vessels that meet certain requirements (IMO Classed). As at 30 June 2022, 77.1% of DIS' controlled fleet was IMO Classed, allowing the Group to transport a large range of products.
d'Amico International Shipping's revenue is mainly generated from the employment, either directly or through its partnerships, of the vessels of its fleet under spot contracts and time charters, for the marine transportation of refined petroleum products. Vessels operating under fixed rate contracts, including time charters, usually provide more steady and predictable cash flows than vessels operating on the spot market. Spot contracts offer the opportunity to maximise DIS' revenue during periods of increasing market rates, although they may result in lower earnings than time charters during periods of decreasing rates. This employment mix varies according to prevailing and forecasted market conditions. Gains or losses can also arise from the sale of the vessels in DIS' fleet.
DIS believes that it benefits from a strong brand name and an established reputation in the international market due to its long operating history and that such a reputation is important in maintaining and strengthening its longterm relationships with its partners and existing customers and in developing relationships with new customers. Its partners and customers appreciate the transparency and accountability, which have been priorities for the Group from its early days. Accountability, transparency and a focus on quality are pillars of its operations and key to DIS' success.
The quality of its fleet is preserved through scheduled maintenance programmes, by aiming for exacting standards on owned vessels and by chartering-in vessels from owners who meet high-quality standards.
DIS' Global Footprint
DIS has a presence in Luxembourg, Dublin (Ireland), London (U.K.), Monte Carlo (Monaco), Singapore and Stamford, CT (USA). These offices are located in the key maritime centres around the world. DIS believes that its international presence allows it to meet the needs of its international clients in different geographical areas, strengthening the Group's recognition and its brand name worldwide. In addition, through the different opening hours of offices located in several time zones, DIS can continuously monitor its operations and assist its customers.
As at 30 June 2022, the Group employed an equivalent of 516 seagoing personnel and 23 onshore personnel.
Fleet
DIS controlled as at 30 June 2022, either through ownership or charter arrangements a modern fleet of 35.0 product tankers (31 December 2021: 37.0 product tankers). DIS' product tanker vessels range from approximately 36,000 to 75,000 dwt.
Since 2012, DIS has ordered 22 newbuildings, the last of which was delivered in October 2019. All these newbuildings are fuel-efficient and in compliance with recent environmental legislation. They can therefore cater to the high standards required by the Group's oil major customers, in addition to being highly cost effective.
Operating a large fleet enhances the generation of earnings and operating efficiencies. A large fleet strengthens the Group's ability to advantageously position vessels and improves the fleet's availability and scheduling flexibility, providing DIS with a competitive advantage in securing spot voyages. In particular, the scale of its
operations provides it with the flexibility necessary to enable it to capitalise on favourable spot market conditions to maximise earnings and negotiate favourable contracts with suppliers.
The following table sets forth information about DIS' fleet on the water as at 30 June 2022.

Fleet Employment and Partnership
As at 30 June 2022, d'Amico International Shipping directly employed 35.0 Vessels: 4 LR1s ('Long Range 1'), 7 MRs ('Medium Range') and 2 Handy-size vessels on term contracts at fixed rates, whilst 2 LR, 16 MR and 4 Handy-size vessels were at the same date employed on the spot market. Some of these DIS' vessels are employed through its joint venture GLENDA International Shipping d.a.c. ("GIS"), a jointly controlled entity with the Glencore Group, in which d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. has a 50% interest. As at 30 June 2022, GIS owned 4 MR vessels built between February 2010 and February 2011, all of which were time-chartered to the Glencore Group, with two of these then timechartered with identical terms by the Glencore Group to d'Amico Tankers DAC.
d'Amico International Shipping is part of the d'Amico Group, one of the world's leading privately-owned marine transportation companies, with over 70 years of experience in the shipping business, whose ultimate parent company is d'Amico Società di Navigazione S.p.A. (Italy). As at 30 June 2022, the d'Amico Group controlled a wide fleet of owned and chartered-in vessels, of which 35.0 were part of the DIS fleet, operating in the product tanker market. d'Amico International Shipping also benefits from the expertise of the d'Amico Group, which provides technical management services, including crewing and insurance arrangements, as well as safety, quality, and environmental services for DIS' vessels.
ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APM)
Along with the most directly comparable IFRS measures, DIS' management regularly uses Alternative Performance Measures, as they provide helpful additional information for readers of its financial statements, indicating how the business has performed over the period, filling the gaps left by the reporting standards. APMs are financial and nonfinancial measures of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash-flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the Group's applicable financial reporting framework and standards (IFRS); for this reason they might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measurements under IFRS or GAAP and thus should not be considered substitutes for the information contained in the Group's financial statements. The following section sets out the Group's definitions of used APMs:
FINANCIAL APMs (They are based on or derived from figures of the financial statements)
Time charter equivalent earnings
A shipping industry standard allowing the comparison of period-to-period net freight revenues, which are not influenced by whether the vessels were employed on Time charters (TC), Voyage charters or Contracts of affreightment (please see Non-Financial APM definitions below). As indicated in the Profit and Loss financial statement, it is equal to revenues less voyage costs.
Bareboat charter revenue
Revenues originating from contracts under which the ship owner is usually paid monthly in advance charter hire at an agreed daily rate for a specified period of time, during which, the charterer is responsible for the technical management of the vessel, including crewing, and therefore also for its operating expenses (see further in Other definitions).
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
EBITDA is defined as the result for the period before the impact of taxes, interest, the Group's share of the result of joint ventures and associates, depreciation, and amortization. It is equivalent to the gross operating profit, which indicates the Group's revenues from sales less its cost of the services (transport) sold. EBITDA Margin is defined as EBITDA divided by Time charter equivalent earnings (as described above). DIS believes that EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are useful additional indicators investors can use to evaluate the Group's operating performance.
EBIT and EBIT Margin
EBIT is defined as the result for the period before the impact of tax, interest, and the Group's share of the result of joint ventures and associates. It is equivalent to the net operating profit and the Group uses it to monitor its return after operating expenses and the cost of the use of its tangible assets. EBIT Margin is defined as operating profit as a percentage of Time charter equivalent earnings and represents for DIS a suitable measure to show the contribution of the Time-Charter Earnings in covering both fixed and variable costs.
ROCE
Return on Capital Employed is a profitability ratio which measures how efficiently a company is using its capital. It is calculated dividing the EBIT by the capital employed, that is, by total assets less current liabilities.
Gross CAPEX
Gross capital expenditure, that is the expenditure for the acquisition of fixed assets as well as expenditures capitalised as a result of the intermediate or special surveys of our vessels, or of investments for the improvement of DIS vessels, as indicated under Net acquisition of fixed assets within the cash-flow from investing activities; it gives an indication about the strategic planning (expansion) of the Group (capital intensive industry).
Net Indebtedness
Comprises bank loans and other financial liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and liquid financial assets or shortterm investments available to service those debt items. The Group believes net indebtedness is relevant to investors as it is a metric on the overall debt situation of a company, indicating the absolute level of non-equity funding of the business. The relevant table in the net indebtedness section within the report on operations, reconciles net debt to the pertinent balance sheet line items.
IFRS 16 impact
The standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee; instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applying IAS 17. Leases are "capitalised" by recognising the
present value of lease payments and showing them either as leased assets (right-of-use assets, RoU) or together with property, plant, and equipment (PPE). Lease items of low value (under US\$ 5 thousand) or for which the lease duration is shorter than one year are excluded from this treatment and are expensed as incurred. If lease payments are made over time, the company also recognises a financial liability representing its obligation to make future lease payments. The most significant effect is an increase in lease assets (or PPE) and financial liabilities, leading to changes in key financial metrics derived from balance sheet data.
For companies with material off-balance sheet leases, IFRS 16 changes the nature of the expenses related to those leases: the straight-line operating lease expense (time-charter-in) are replaced with a depreciation charge for the lease asset (included within operating costs) and an interest expense on the lease liability (included within finance costs).
NON-FINANCIAL APMs (not derived from figures of the financial statements)
Available vessel days
Total theoretical number of days a vessel is available for sailing during a period. It provides an indication of the Group's fleet earnings potential during a period, which takes into account the date of delivery to and redelivery from the Group of the vessels in its fleet (please refer also to the Key figures, other operating measures).
Coverage
Ratio indicating how many available vessel days are already covered by fixed rate contracts (time charter contracts or contracts of affreightment). It provides an indication of how exposed the Group is to changes in the freight market during a certain period (please refer to Time charter equivalent earnings in the Management financial review).
Daily spot rate or daily TC rate
Daily spot rate refers to daily time-charter equivalent earnings (please refer to definition below) generated by employing DIS' vessels on the spot market (or on a voyage basis) and daily TC rate refers to daily time-charter earnings generated by employing DIS' vessels on 'time-charter' contracts (please refer to the Management financial review).
Off-hire
Means the period in which a vessel is unable to perform the services for which it is immediately required under a time charter. Off-hire periods can include days spent on repairs, dry-docking and surveys, whether or not scheduled. It can help to explain changes in time-charter equivalent earnings between different periods (please refer to Revenues, in the Management financial review).
Time charter equivalent earnings per day
A measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel or of DIS' fleet. DIS' method of calculating time charter equivalent earnings per day is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage revenues (net of voyage expenses) by on-hire days for the relevant time period. Time charter equivalent earnings per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance, since it is unaffected by the changes in the mix of charter contracts (i.e. spot charters, time charters and contracts of affreightment) through which the vessels are employed. It allows a comparison of the Group's performance with industry peers and market benchmarks (please refer to Key figures).
Vessels equivalent
The number of vessels equivalent in a period is equal to the sum of the products of the total available vessel days over that period for each vessel and the participation of the Group (direct or indirect) in that vessel, divided by the number of calendar days in that period. It provides an indication of the Group's fleet size and earnings potential over a period (please refer to Key figures).
OTHER DEFINITIONS
Bareboat charter
A contract type under which the ship owner is usually paid monthly in advance charter hire at an agreed daily rate for a specified period of time, during which the charterer is responsible for the technical management of the vessel, including crewing, and therefore also for its operating expenses (please refer to note 6). A bareboat charter is also known as a "demise charter" or a "time charter by demise".
Charter
A contract for the hire of a vessel for a specified period of time or to carry cargo from a loading port to a discharging port. The contract for a charter is commonly called a charter party and there are three main types of such contracts, a bareboat charter party, a voyage charter party and time charter party (refer to definitions in this section).
Contract of affreightment (COA)
An agreement between an owner and a charterer which obliges the owner to provide a vessel to the charterer to move specific quantities of cargo, at a fixed rate, over a stated time period but without designating specific vessels or voyage schedules, thereby providing the owner with greater operating flexibility than with voyage charters alone.
Disponent Owner
The company that controls a vessel, replacing the registered owner, either through a time-charter or a bareboat charter.
Fixed-rate contracts
For DIS these usually refer to revenues generated through time-charter contracts or contracts of affreightment (please refer to definitions in this section). Bareboat charter contracts are also usually fixed rate contracts but DIS controls rather than employs vessels through such contracts.
Spot charter or Voyage charter
A contract type through which a registered owner (owner) or disponent owner (please refer to definition in this section) is paid freight for transporting cargo from a loading port to a discharging port. The charterer pays the vessel owner or disponent owner on a per-ton or lump-sum basis. The payment for the use of the vessel is known as freight. The owner or disponent owner is responsible for paying voyage expenses. Typically, the charterer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. A ship-owner or bareboat charterer operating its vessel on voyage charter is responsible for the technical management of the vessel, including crewing, and therefore also for its operating expenses.
Time charter
Is a contract type through which the registered owner (owner) or disponent owner (please refer to definition within this section) is paid usually monthly in advance charter hire at an agreed daily rate for a specified period of time (usually a fixed rate contract). With such contracts the charterer is responsible for paying the voyage expenses and additional voyage insurance. A ship-owner or bareboat charterer operating its vessel on time-charter is responsible for the technical management of the vessel, including crewing, and therefore also for its operating expenses.
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF OF 2022
The product tanker markets were very weak at the beginning of 2022. However, the product tanker market has seen significantly improved conditions in Q2 amid impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Conditions have varied by sector, with product tanker earnings especially strong, earnings in the smaller crude sectors healthy and the VLCC market still weak (though eco and scrubber fitted ships have fared better). Crude tanker markets are expected to benefit from further easing of OPEC output cuts and improved Chinese demand in coming months, providing further support to an already buoyant product tanker market.
Average clean MR earnings improved throughout the quarter. The recent strength in the MR markets has been underpinned by recovering demand for refined products as economies continue reopening following the lifting of restrictions linked to COVID, inefficiencies in the supply chain and shifting trade patterns, with increased volumes on longer-haul routes ex-US and ex-Asia into Europe, as purchasers source alternatives to Russian volumes. Earnings have remained high, supported by steady activity, in both the Eastern and Western basins.
According to the IEA's July '22 report global refinery runs rose by 600,000 b/d in June as maintenance wound down, while product prices and margins marched on to new highs. At 79.7 million b/d, throughputs were 1.4 million b/d higher than April's seasonal low, but with refined product demand increasing one and a half times as fast over the same period, the gap between product supply and demand widened.
Refinery margins increased further in June on a monthly average basis, except for margins in Northwest Europe, which were affected by lower naphtha runs.
The one-year time-charter rate is always the best indicator of spot market expectations and as at the end of June 2022 was assessed at around US\$ 20,000 per day (up from US\$ 13,500 per day in March) for a conventional MR2, with an Eco MR2 assessed at a premium of around US\$ 3,000 per day.
In H1 2022, DIS recorded a Net profit of US\$ 19.2 million vs. a Net loss of US\$ (15.2) million posted in the same period of 2021. Such positive variance is attributable to a much stronger product tanker market relative to the same period of last year. Excluding results on disposal and non-recurring financial items, as well as the asset impairment and the effects of IFRS 16, DIS' Net result would have amounted to US\$ 22.4 million in H1 2022 compared with US\$ (14.4) million recorded in H1 2021. In Q2 2022, DIS posted a Net profit of US\$ 25.7 million vs. a Net loss of US\$ (5.4) million registered in the second quarter of last year. Excluding results on disposal and non-recurring financial items, as well as the asset impairment and the effects of IFRS 16, DIS' Net result would have amounted to US\$ 26.5 million in Q2 2022 compared with US\$ (5.1) million recorded in Q2 2021.
DIS generated an EBITDA of US\$ 66.2 million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ 33.0 million achieved in H1 2021, and of US\$ 48.5 million in Q2 2022 vs. US\$ 18.9 million in Q1 2021.
In terms of spot performance, DIS achieved a daily spot rate of US\$ 21,037 in H1 2022 vs. US\$ 11,355 in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ 28,687 vs. Q2 2021: US\$ 12,720), as a result of the much stronger market relative to the same period of last year.
At the same time, 42.1% of DIS' total employment days in H1 2022, were covered through 'time-charter' contracts at an average daily rate of US\$ 15,158 (H1 2021: 48.1% coverage at an average daily rate of US\$ 15,546). A good level of time charter coverage is one of the pillars of DIS' commercial strategy and allows it to mitigate the effects of the spot market volatility, securing a certain level of earnings and cash generation even throughout negative cycles. DIS' total daily average rate (which includes both spot and time-charter contracts) was of US\$ 18,559 in the first six months of 2022 compared with US\$ 13,371 achieved in the same period of 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ 23,389 vs. Q2 2021: US\$ 13,893).

OPERATING PERFORMANCE
*see Alternative Performance Measures on page 9
Revenue was US\$ 175.3 million in H1 2022 (US\$ 122.0 million in H1 2021) and US\$ 108.7 million in Q2 2022 (US\$ 62.9 million in Q2 2021). The increase in gross revenue compared with the previous year is attributable mainly to a stronger freight market. In addition, the percentage of off-hire days in H1 2022 (0.8%) was lower than in the same period of the previous year (4.3%), mainly due to the timing of commercial off-hires and dry-docks.
Voyage costs reflect the mix of spot and time-charter employment contracts. These costs, which occur only for vessels employed on the spot market, amounted to US\$ (59.7) million in H1 2022 compared with US\$ (33.1) million in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ (36.0) million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ (16.8) million). The higher costs reflect DIS' higher exposure to the spot market and higher bunker prices, relative to the same period of last year.
Time charter equivalent earnings were of US\$ 115.6 million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ 88.9 million in H1 2021 and US\$ 72.8 million in Q2 2022 vs. US\$ 46.1 million in Q2 2021. In detail, DIS realized a daily average spot rate of US\$ 21,037 in H1 2022 compared with US\$ 11,355 achieved in H1 2021, and of US\$ 28,687 in Q2 2022 compared with US\$ 12,720 in Q2 2021.
In H1 2022, DIS maintained a good level of 'coverage'9 (fixed-rate contracts), securing an average of 42.1% (H1 2021: 48.1%) of its available vessel days at a daily average fixed rate of US\$ 15,158 (H1 2021: US\$ 15,546). In addition to securing revenue and supporting the operating cash flow generation, these contracts enabled DIS to strengthen its historical relationships with the main oil majors.
9 Coverage ratio (%) and daily average covered rate include a bareboat charter out contract on an LR1 vessel owned by d'Amico Tankers d.a.c., inclusive of an assumed daily Opex of US\$ 6,700 (in line with DIS' actual costs), in order to express this bareboat contract in time-charter equivalent terms. The gross revenue of this bareboat contract is reported under 'bareboat charter revenue' in the Income Statement.
DIS' total daily average TCE (Spot and Time Charter)10 was of US\$ 18,559 in H1 2022 vs. US\$ 13,371 in H1 2021, and of US\$ 23,389 in Q2 2022 vs. US\$ 13,893 in Q2 2021.

Bareboat charter revenue was of US\$ 2.4 million in H1 2022, and it relates to the bareboat charter out contract started in October 2021 on one of d'Amico Tankers d.a.c.'s LR1 vessels.
Time charter hire costs. IFRS 16 Leases is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and has been adopted by the Company. IFRS 16 substantially changes the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements, significantly affecting the treatment by lessees of contracts which in previous periods were treated as operating leases. With some exceptions, liabilities for payments on contracts previously classified as operating leases are now discounted at the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, leading to the recognition of a lease liability and a corresponding right of use asset (amounting to the liability plus the present value of any restoration costs and any incremental costs in entering the lease, as well as any lease payments made prior to commencement of the lease, minus any lease incentives already received). Therefore, starting from 1 January 2019, 'time-charter hire costs' includes only time-charter contracts whose residual term is shorter than 12 months as at that date or for contracts starting later, whose duration is shorter than 12 months from their commencement date. The application of IFRS16 reduced 'charter hire costs' by US\$ 24.2 million in H1 2022 and by US\$ 25.8 million in H1 2021, as within the Income Statement, these costs were replaced with other direct operating costs, interest, and depreciation.
Excluding the effect of IFRS 16, DIS' 'time-charter hire costs' would have amounted to US\$ (25.9) million in H1 2022, compared with US\$ (27.4) million in the same period of last year. In H1 2022, DIS operated a slightly lower number of chartered-in vessels (10.0 equivalent ships) relative to the first half of last year (10.4 equivalent ships).
Other direct operating costs mainly consist of crew, technical and luboil expenses relating to the operation of owned vessels, together with insurance expenses for both owned and chartered-in vessels. The adjustment to 'other direct operating costs' arising from the application of IFRS 16 increases such expenses by US\$ 10.9 million in H1 2022 (US\$ 11.7 million increase in H1 2021), as within the Income Statement, time-charter hire costs are replaced by other direct operating costs, interest, and depreciation. Excluding the effects of IFRS 16, DIS' 'other direct operating costs' would have amounted to US\$ (31.2) million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ (34.5) million in H1 2021. In the first six months of 2022, the Company operated a smaller fleet of owned and bareboat vessels relative to the same period of last year (H1 2022: 25.8 vs. H1 2021: 28.0). DIS constantly monitors its operating costs, while focusing on crew with appropriate skills, high SQE (Safety, Quality & Environment) standards and full compliance with very stringent market regulations. Maintaining a 'top-quality' fleet represents an essential part of d'Amico's vision and strategy.
General and administrative costs amounted to US\$ (6.8) million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ (7.0) million in H1 2021. These costs relate mainly to onshore personnel, together with office costs, consultancies, travel expenses and others.
Result on disposal of vessel was negative for US\$ (1.0) million in H1 2022 and was substantially in line with the same period of last year. The amount refers to the amortisation of the net deferred result on all vessels sold and leased back in the previous years.
EBITDA was of US\$ 66.2 million in H1 2022 compared with US\$ 33.0 million in the same period of last year (Q2 2022: US\$ 48.5 million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ 18.9 million), reflecting the better freight markets experienced in the first six months of the current year.
Depreciation, impairment, and impairment reversal amounted to US\$ (32.5) million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ (32.6) million in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ (15.0) million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ (16.2) million). The amount for H1 2022 includes
10 Total daily average TCE includes a bareboat charter out contract on an LR1 vessel owned by d'Amico Tankers d.a.c., inclusive of an assumed daily Opex of US\$ 6,700 (in line with DIS' actual costs), in order to express this bareboat contract in time-charter equivalent terms. The gross revenue of this bareboat contract is reported under 'bareboat charter revenue' in the Income Statement.
an impairment of US\$ (2.1) million on a MR vessel (M/T High Priority) owned by d'Amico Tankers d.a.c., whose sale was announced in Q1 2022 and finalized in Q2 2022. In accordance with IFRS 5, this vessel was classified as 'asset held for sale' at the end of Q1 2022, with the difference between its fair value less cost to sell and its book value charged to the Income Statement.
EBIT was of US\$ 33.7 million in H1 2022 compared with US\$ 0.4 million in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ 33.4 million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ 2.7 million).
Net financial income was of US\$ 0.9 million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ 1.0 million in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ 0.4 million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ 0.3 million). The H1 2022 amount comprised mainly US\$ 0.9 million unrealized gain in relation to the ineffective part of DIS' interest rate swap agreements, US\$ 0.03 million commercial foreign exchange gain, as well as bank interest income on funds held with financial institutions on deposit and current accounts.
Net financial charges amounted to US\$ (15.3) million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ (16.4) million in H1 2021 (Q2 2022: US\$ (8.1) million vs. Q2 2021: US\$ (8.4) million). The H1 2022 amount comprises mainly US\$ (14.1) million in interest expenses and amortized financial fees due on DIS' bank loan facilities, actual expenses on interest rate swaps and interest on lease liabilities, as well as US\$ (0.6) million realized loss on freight derivative instruments and US\$ (0.4) million realized loss on foreign exchange derivative instruments used for hedging purposes. The amount recorded in the same period of last year included US\$ (16.3) million in interest expenses and amortized financial fees due on DIS' bank loan facilities, actual expenses on interest rate swaps and interest on lease liabilities, as well as US\$ (0.1) million of unrealised losses mainly in relation to the ineffective part of DIS' interest rate swap agreements.
DIS recorded a Profit before tax of US\$ 19.3 million in H1 2022 vs. a loss of US\$ (15.0) million in H1 2021 and a profit of US\$ 25.7 million in Q2 2022 vs. a loss of US\$ (5.3) million in Q2 2021.
Income taxes amounted to US\$ (0.1) million in H1 2022 vs. US\$ (0.2) million in H1 2021.
In H1 2022, DIS recorded a Net profit of US\$ 19.2 million vs. a Net loss of US\$ (15.2) million achieved in the same period of 2021 and a Net profit of US\$ 25.7 million in Q2 2022 vs. a Net loss US\$ (5.4) million in Q2 2021. Excluding the result on disposals and non-recurring financial items from H1 2022 (US\$ (1.3) million) and from H1 2021 (US\$ (0.3) million), as well as the asset impairment (US\$ (2.1) million in H1 2022) and the net effects of IFRS 16 from both periods (H1 2022: US\$ 0.3 million and H1 2021: US\$ US\$ (0.5) million), DIS' Net result would have amounted to US\$ 22.4 million in H1 2022 compared with US\$ (14.4) million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE PERIOD AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK
D'AMICO TANKERS D.A.C.:
Refinancing of two leases: In July 2022, d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. exercised its purchase options on the existing bareboat charter contracts for MT High Discovery (a 49.990 dwt medium-range product tanker vessel built in 2014 by Hyundai-Mipo, South Korea), for a consideration of US\$ 20.3 million, and for MT High Fidelity (a 49,990 dwt medium-range product tanker vessel built in 2014 by Hyundai-Vinashin Shipyard Co. Ltd., Vietnam), for a consideration of US\$ 19.2 million. In addition, d'Amico Tankers refinanced the two vessels with new 10-year leases (bareboat charter contracts), with a purchase obligation at the end of the contract, and purchase options starting from the second anniversary date for MT High Discovery and the third anniversary date for MT High Fidelity.
Refinancing of the bank debt maturing in 2023, related to four vessels through a new sustainability-linked loan: In July 2022, d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. has signed a US\$ 82.0 million 5-year term facility with ING and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB), to refinance the bank loans maturing in 2023 on MT Cielo di Cagliari, MT Cielo Rosso, MT Cielo di Rotterdam, and MT Cielo di New York. All four tranches of this new facility are expected to be drawn down, with the respective previous financings reimbursed, in July 2022. For this new sustainability-linked loan, the margin is adjusted based on the CO2 emissions of d'Amico Tankers' fleet and associated AER (annual efficiency ratio) indicator, relative to the AER trajectory established by the Poseidon Principles for the type of vessels controlled by our Subsidiary. ING is acting as the Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator of this facility.
Refinancing of the bank debt related to three MR vessels, maturing in 2023: In July 2022, d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. secured the refinancing of the loan related to three of its MR vessels maturing in 2023, with their related balloons. In detail:
- d'Amico Tankers signed a US\$ 25.2 million 7-year term loan facility with Danish Ship Finance A/S, to refinance the bank loans maturing in 2023 on MT High Seas and MT High Tide. This new loan was drawn down and the current financing reimbursed in July 2022.
- d'Amico Tankers signed an agreement with Tokyo Century Corporation to extend in direct continuation and for further 4.5 years from its previous maturity in January 2023, the existing loan on MT High Challenge, with an amount currently outstanding of US\$ 13.8 million.

Business Outlook
The key drivers that should affect the product tankers, freight markets and d'Amico International Shipping's performance are (i) the growth in global oil supply, (ii) refinery margins and throughput, (iii) demand for refined products, (iv) the structure of forward prices for both crude oil and refined petroleum products, (v) the product tankers' fleet growth rate, (vi) the efficiency of the fleet due to factors such as congestion and average sailing speeds and (vii) average sailing distances. Some of the factors that should continue supporting the current strong markets are detailed below:
Product Tanker Demand
- In its latest oil market report of July'22, the IEA expects oil production to increase by 1.8 million b/d from June to December '22, a downward revision of 100,000 b/d relative to its last report. However, OPEC+ is only expected to increase supplies by 380,000 b/day, while non-OPEC+ countries, dominated by the US, are expected to add 1.4 million b/d (previously 1.1 million b/d). In particular for crude tankers, the increase in ton-miles associated with more production and exports from the US, could more than compensate for the lower overall volumes.
- According to the IEA's July '22 report, soaring fuel costs and a deteriorating economic environment are slowly starting to moderate oil demand growth in the OECD. The latest data show weaker-than-expected consumption in all three major regions. By contrast, non-OECD demand rebounded sharply in May, led by China as it emerged from COVID lockdowns, and by the Middle East, due to higher power generation needs. As a result, the IEA has modestly trimmed their outlook for 2022, with global oil demand expected to grow by 1.7 million b/d to 99.2 million b/d. Demand is projected to increase by 2.1 million b/d, to 101.3 million b/d in 2023, led by continued strong growth in non-OECD countries.
- OECD oil product inventories rose by 7.1 million barrels in May '22, significantly less than the five-year average increase of 23.2 million barrels for the month. Other oil stocks rose by 22.2 million barrels on strong gains in OECD Americas. Fuel oil inventories were up by a modest 500,000 barrels. Partly offsetting the gains, middle distillate stocks fell counter-seasonally by 1.8 million barrels, standing 96 million barrels below the five-year average. Gasoline stocks slumped by 13.7 million barrels; a ten-fold decline compared with the seasonal trend.
- In their July '22 outlook, Clarksons estimates that in 2022 product tanker tonne-miles will grow by 13%/14%, well above the expected increase in fleet supply (see below). This growth reflects the shift to longer-haul trade routes, changes in the refining landscape with increased capacity in the Middle East and Asia and recent closures in the US, Europe and Oceania, a robust increase in oil supply, demand and refinery throughputs, as well as strong refining margins, and low global oil stocks.
- More than 70% of new refining capacity in the next four years will be located east of Suez. The EIA estimates that around 800,000 b/d of refining capacity has been closed in North America since the pandemic began. Engen have converted their 120,000 b/d refinery in Durban (responsible for approximately 17% of the
country's fuel production) into a terminal/storage facility. In the long run, recovering demand and structural shifts in the refining landscape are likely to boost long-haul product trades.
Product Tanker Supply
- At the beginning of the year, Clarksons estimated 67 MRs and LR1s would have been delivered in 2022; in the first Half of the year only 34 such vessels were delivered versus an estimated 43.
- In their July 2022 outlook, Clarksons estimated the product tanker fleet will grow by only 1.8% in 2022.
- A large number of demolition yards were temporarily shut during the pandemic. However, the rebound in steel prices has improved demand for tonnage recycling. Despite the strong freight markets, 18 vessels in the MR and LR1 sector have already been scrapped this year.
- According to Clarksons, as at the end of June '22, 6.5% of the MR and LR1 fleet was over 20 years old (in dwt), whilst the current order book in these segments represented only 3.2% of the current trading fleet (in dwt). As at the same date, 31.6% of the MR and LR1 fleet (in dwt) was more than 15 years old, and this percentage should continue rising fast over the coming years.
- The IMO's 2030 and 2050 targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are high on the shipping agenda. Many owners and banks now require 'green recycling' of vessels in line with EU and IMO conventions, while the EU is set to include shipping in its Emissions Trading Scheme. Furthermore, important cargo charterers including oil majors such as Shell and Total, as well as leading trading houses such as Trafigura, have recently signed the Sea Cargo Charter with the aim of disclosing the CO2 emissions of the vessels they operate and reducing these in line with the IMO targets. During the Marine Environmental Committee's (MEPC) meeting (MEPC 76) in June 2021, measures were adopted which will be enforceable from 1 November 2022, requiring operators to measure their vessels' energy efficiency existing ship index (EEXI), reflecting their technical efficiency and their carbon intensity indicator (CII), assessing how efficiently they are managed. Both measures aim to cut emissions progressively from 2023 to 2030. The expected technological change required to meet the increasingly demanding environmental regulation is reducing appetite for new building orders, since such vessels could be obsolete soon after delivery. Furthermore, the increase in new building costs and decrease in yard availability is also negatively affecting the appetite for new orders.

To the Shareholders of d'Amico International Shipping S.A. 25C, Boulevard Royal L-2449 Luxembourg Livange, 28 July 2022
Report on Review of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of d'Amico International Shipping S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022 and the related condensed consolidated interim income statement, condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and condensed interim statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity for the six-month period then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Board of Directors' responsibility for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim financial reporting" as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Responsibility of the "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé"
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ("ISRE") 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" as adopted for Luxembourg by the "Institut des Réviseurs d'Entreprises". This standard requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements and conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial framework.
A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The "Reviseur d'Entreprises Agree" performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters within the Group, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim financial reporting as adopted by the European Union.

The ultimate parent company of the Group is d'Amico Società di Navigazione. DIS is an international marine transportation company, operating, mainly through its fully owned subsidiary, d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. (Ireland), as well as other indirectly controlled subsidiaries. All DIS' vessels are double-hulled and are primarily engaged in the transportation of refined oil products, providing worldwide shipping services to the major oil companies and trading houses.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information as at, and for the six months period ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial reporting, as adopted by the European Union.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain all information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2021.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the historic cost convention, with the exception of certain financial assets and labilities, which are stated at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the effective portion of the hedges.
The financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its principal subsidiaries. Rounding is applied to the nearest thousand.
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies, which have been consistently applied, are set out below.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires Directors to make accounting estimates and in some cases assumptions in the application of accounting principles. The Management decisions are based on historical experience as well as on expectations associated with the realization of future events, considered reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and judgments are exercised in all areas of the business and are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Segment Information
d'Amico International Shipping provides transportation services of refined petroleum products and vegetable oil, operating in only one business segment, Product Tankers. Furthermore, the Group only has one geographical segment, employing all of its vessels worldwide, rather than in specific geographical areas. The Group's top management monitors, evaluates and allocates the Group's resources as a whole, operations are run in one single currency – the US\$ – and DIS considers, therefore, the product tankers business as a single segment.
Accounting principles
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
Accounting principles adopted from 1 January 2022
There are no new accounting principles that have been adopted for the accounting period ending 30 June 2022.
Accounting principles, amendments, and interpretations not yet effective
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
US\$ LIBOR rates for periods of 3 months and 6 months, which are the reference rates for all of our mortgage loans, should not be published anymore from 30 June 2023. All our loans which will be affected have or will include transition clauses to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the new risk-free reference rate. All new loans from January 2022, will already include the SOFR as the reference rate, from the loan's start date. The reference rate can either be based on the Term SOFR, or the Cumulative Compounded SOFR in arrears. Effective hedges can be performed for loans linked to both the Term SOFR and the Cumulative Compounded SOFR in arrears.
2. REVENUE, INCLUDING BAREBOAT CHARTER REVENUE
| US\$ thousand | Q2 2022 | Q2 2021 | H1 2022 | H1 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues from voyage-charter (spot) – freight and demurrage |
83,343 | 27,955 | 127,889 | 56,759 |
| Revenue from operating leases (time-charter) | 18,849 | 27,443 | 34,109 | 48,136 |
| Revenue from subleasing (time-charter) | 6,550 | 7,290 | 13,238 | 14,692 |
| Other revenues | - | 228 | 44 | 2,450 |
| Revenue, excluding bareboat charter revenue | 108,742 | 62,916 | 175,280 | 122,037 |
| Bareboat charter revenue* | 1,200 | - | 2,386 | - |
| Total revenue | 109,942 | 62,916 | 177,666 | 122,037 |
*see also Alternative Performance Measures on page 9
Revenue represents vessel income comprising time charter hire, freight and demurrage and is recognized over time. DIS has only one revenue stream and it is originated from the employment of the vessels for the transportation of refined petroleum products. All contractual revenues – as defined by IFRS15 – result from freight and demurrage: for these revenues, payment is settled at completion of the voyage, and therefore no performance obligations are recognised to be outstanding.
Bareboat charter revenue represents vessel income from the employment of a vessel through a bareboat hire contract; in such contracts the charterer is responsible for the vessel's technical management, including the payment of its crew costs. Bareboat charter revenue in the first-half of 2022 was of US\$ 2.4 million, while no vessel was employed through bareboat contracts during the first-half of 2021.
Revenues from voyage charters are recognized from loading port to discharge port. Costs to fulfil a contract, relating to ballast voyages to the next loading port, are from loading port to discharge port and are capitalised at the reporting date; the accrual adjustments as at 30 June 2022, to ensure the above recognition of costs and revenues, led to a decrease in revenues of US\$ 5.0 million and a decrease in voyage costs of US\$ 1.7 million.
Revenue from leases represent income from owned vessels that are time-chartered-out. Revenue from subleasing represents revenue on vessels controlled through time-charter-in contracts, that are time-charted-out. Other revenues comprise income from deviations, including compensation for bunker expenses.
| 3. VOYAGE COSTS |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US\$ thousand | Q2 2022 | Q2 2021 | H1 2022 | H1 2021 |
| Bunkers (fuel) | (23,163) | (10,226) | (38,190) | (19,293) |
| Commissions | (3,344) | (1,603) | (5,160) | (3,048) |

| Total | (35,956) | (16,781) | (59,673) | (33,146) |
Voyage costs arise from the employment, directly or through our partnerships, of DIS' vessels, through voyage charters or contracts of affreightment. When vessels are employed through time-charters they do not incur voyage costs.
4. TIME CHARTER EQUIVALENT EARNINGS
| US\$ thousand | Q2 2022 | Q2 2021 | H1 2022 | H1 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time-charter equivalent earnings | 72,786 | 46,135 | 115,607 | 88,891 |
*see also Alternative Performance Measures on page 9
Time charter equivalent earnings represent revenue less voyage costs. In the first half of 2022 vessel days on fixed rate contracts represented about 42.1% of total available vessel days (H1 2021: 48.1%).
| 5. TIME CHARTER HIRE COSTS |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Time-charter hire costs | (515) | (1,361) | (1,721) | (1,620) |
Time charter hire costs represent the cost of chartering-in vessels from third parties. The amounts relate essentially to the cost of chartering-in vessels with terms that are shorter than one year at their start date (short-term leases; please also refer to note 1 of the Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements).

d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. (DTL) and Glenda International Shipping d.a.c. (GIS) qualified to be re-elected under the terms of the Tonnage Tax regime in Ireland, for a period of 10 years, ending on 31 December 2024 for DTL and on 31 December 2028 for GIS.
The income tax liability under the tonnage tax regime is based on the controlled fleet's notional shipping income, which in turn depends on the total net tonnage of the controlled fleet. The first-half 2022 total tonnage tax provision for d'Amico Tankers d.a.c. and Glenda International Shipping d.a.c. amounts to US\$ 80.2 thousand (US\$ 39 thousand in Q2 2022). Current income tax includes also charges relating to activities that are not eligible for tonnage tax and are taxed at either 12.5% or 25.0%.

The net book value of DIS' property plant and equipment and right of use assets as at 30 June 2022, amounts to US\$ 780.1 million, comprising property, plant and equipment amounting to US\$522.5 million and right of use assets amounting to US\$257.6 million.
The net book value of DIS' Fleet (the Group's shipping related assets, owned or leased) amounts to US\$778.1 million as at 30 June 2022, and consists of the net book value of the Fleet on the water and associated dry-docks, amounting to US\$522.5 million, as well as the capitalised and depreciated value of DIS' shipping related lease obligations and associated dry-docks (Rights of Use assets, as per IFRS 16), amounting to US\$255.9 million. A detailed description of the Fleet is provided in the relevant section of the management report.
The value of other non-shipping related PPE and ROU assets as at 30 June 2022 amounts to US\$2.0 million and comprise mostly office rental lease obligations and the net book value of fixture, fittings and office equipment.
Leased vessels for which a purchase obligation or a bargain purchase option exists, amount to US\$ 192.5 million as at 30 June 2022.
The following table indicates purchase obligations and options for all vessels sold and leased-back through bareboat contracts:
| Vessel name, M/T | Year | Purchase obligation | Option to repurchase |
|---|---|---|---|
| the lease begins | the vessel | ||
| High Voyager | 2019 | 10th year from sale | from 3rd year |
| Cielo di Houston | 2019 | n.a. | from 5th year |
| High Freedom, High Trust, High Loyalty, High Trader | 2018 | 10th year from sale | from 2nd year |
| High Fidelity, High Discovery | 2017 | 10th year from sale | from 3rd year* |
* in the month of June 2022 the Company exercised its options to repurchase the two vessels, with delivery to the Company expected to occur in the month of September 2022.
The capitalised and depreciated value of DIS' leases obligations (Rights of Use assets) are discounted using DIS' marginal borrowing rate, which is obtained by adding to the swap interest rate for liabilities with the same term
as the lease obligations, the margin applied to the most recent third-party financings; for leases previously identified as such in accordance with IAS 17, the lease payments are discounted using DIS' (the lessee's) implicit rate in the lease.
Dry-dock includes expenditure for the fleet's dry-docking programme and associated amortization; additions in the period ended 30 June 2022, relate to instalments paid to the yard for dry-docks, for both PPE and RoU assets, corresponding to US\$ 0.8 million (in the period no dry-docks were performed for RoU vessels). In the first half of 2022, three of DIS' vessels dry-docked.
All financings on the vessels owned by the Group are secured through mortgages.
The total fair value of the Group's fleet as 30 June 2022, amounts to US\$ 764.5 million and includes DTL's owned vessels, DTL's right-of-use assets and DIS' share of the fleet value of Glenda International Shipping (a jointoperation, consolidated with the proportional method). The value of DIS' owned vessels and of its leased vessels with purchase obligations and bargain purchase options is based on charter-free broker valuations, while for the remaining Right-of-use Assets it is based on their value-in-use, as described below.
DIS Fleet's Recoverable Amount (Value-in-Use, Fair Value and Impairment Testing)
The Fleet's recoverable amount is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use, represented by the net present value of the cash flows from the vessels' remaining useful life. Impairments and their reversal are non-recurring and will be based on the management's assessment of the fleet's recoverable amount.
For impairment test purposes, management estimates take into consideration the market information available, including reported sales of similar vessels, as well as past experience and future expectations.
Value-in-use calculations are based on the following key assumptions: (i) Earnings under contracts concluded and estimates of future time-charter equivalent rates; (ii) Useful economic life of 25 years; (iii) Estimated economic value at the end of vessels' life based on the average of the last 10 years' demolition prices (iv) General and administrative costs reflecting DIS' current corporate structure; (v) a nominal discount rate (WACC) which represents the Group's weighted average cost of capital, based on the Group's estimated cost of debt financing and DIS' estimate of its required return on equity. Since a nominal discount rate is used for the projected cashflows, including revenue, costs, capital expenditures and residual values, for consistency, these cash-flows are adjusted to reflect an expected inflation equal to the last ten years' average US core consumer price index. Management notes that the calculations are particularly sensitive to changes in the key assumptions for future charter rates and discount rates.
As at 30 June 2022, the Fleet's fair value, measured as its market value, less 1% cost of sale, exceeds it net book value by US\$ 45.7 million. Therefore, at the reporting date there isn't an indication of impairment.
The management of the Group therefore does not consider necessary to recognise an impairment of the Fleet's value; they confirm to closely monitor DIS' vessels market values and value-in-use calculations.

22. RISK MANAGEMENT
Shipping freight rates and vessel values can vary significantly during the business cycle. Furthermore, the Company is a multinational that has operations throughout the world and is therefore exposed to the market risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Since deposits and credit facilities necessary to fund investments in newbuildings or the purchase of vessels earn or pay interest at variable rates, the Group is also exposed to interest rate risk. DIS is also exposed to fluctuations in the price of bunkers.
d'Amico International Shipping constantly monitors the above financial risks and seeks to reduce its exposure to them also through derivative hedging instruments.
These half-year, condensed financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and for a detailed description of this information they should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2020, note 28; DIS' financial risk situation as described in its last annual report, has not changed significantly in the six months to 30 June 2021. There have been no changes in the risk management policies since the year end.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUES AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Fair value risk and valuation techniques
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
- The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
-
The fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, a discounted cash-flow analysis is performed. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates matching the maturities of the contracts. Interest rates swaps are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash-flows and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates. Forward Freight Agreements and Bunker Swaps are calculated using quoted prices.
-
The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash-flow analysis.
- The fair value of financial instruments accounts for the counterparty risk (financial assets) and the entity's own credit risk (liabilities).
Accounting classification and fair values

The Level 2 financial instruments in the above tables refer to derivative instruments and their fair value is obtained through valuations provided by the corresponding bank at the end of the period. Counterparties are financial institutions which are rated from A1 to B1; taking this into consideration, no adjustments for non-performance risk are deemed necessary.
The carrying value of assets and liabilities, such as short-term trade receivables and payables, which are not measured at fair value, approximates their fair value.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Ongoing disputes
The Group is currently involved in a number of on-going commercial disputes concerning both our owned and chartered vessels. The majority are cargo contamination claims. The disputes are mostly covered by insurance policies with the Group's P&I Club and therefore are not expected to generate any significant financial exposure.
Deferred taxation
All of the Group's Irish operating companies are qualified to be taxed under the Tonnage Tax regime in Ireland. The regime includes a provision whereby a proportion of capital allowances previously claimed by the Group may be subject to tax in the event that vessels are sold, or the Group fails to comply with the ongoing requirements to remain within the regime.
There are neither contingent liabilities nor commitments made by the Group which are not recognized at the reporting date in relation with the Group's interests in its joint ventures.
