Close the Cost Gap: New ships suitable esp. for Latin America underway – Further investments to come

Delivered: 10x 13,200 TEU

• Strengthened competitiveness and market share along with attractive margins as a result of the increased capacity
• Cost efficient "workhorses" suitable e.g. for Far East trades (Loop 4) – cascading of former vessel in Transpacific

Cost efficient growth e.g. on Far East trades

Delivered: 7x 9,300 TEU

• All seven 9,300 TEU vessels delivered by end of July 2015
• These ships are suitable for the Latin America trades with 1,400 reefer plugs

New order: 5x 10,500 TEU

• New ships will optimise network and product
• Bundle services / redesign cooperation
• Participate in reefer growth
• Generate considerable slot cost advantages
• Best ship design for the trade intended
• Optimised hull shape (less draft)
• Fuel efficient engine room setup
• 2,100 reefer plugs

Consolidate leadership esp. in Latin America

1) Others include APL, HMM, MOL, OOCL, NYK

11 Source: Company Information, MDS Transmodal July 2015

Already initiated… …with more to come

Improve competitiveness on East-West trades

• G6 plans to introduce ULCV loops to grow in line with market and remain competitive (12 ships ordered / more expected)
• The G6 alliance greatly reduces the risk during the phase-in of ULCVs in two ways (cascading and allocation sharing)

Investment in container to optimise cost structure

• Benefit from very low new container prices by purchasing rather than renting containers
• Increase ownership back to 50% (in line with operational peers) stabilising cash flows

Drivers for targeted tangible upside

• Trade deregulation
• Global relocation of production facilities
• Private consumption and growth of real incomes in developing economies
• Container shipping positively correlated with GDP growth
• Growth to accelerate in 2016
• Global GDP: +3.8%
• World trade: +4.4%
• Container volume: +5.4%

1) Annual comparison of container volume growth rates and GDP growth rates since 2000

Containerisation dynamics are intact

Short-term freight rate pressures and volatilities will remain in the container shipping industry

Shanghai – Latin America (SCFI)

Comments

• Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) only reflects Shanghai outbound rate development
• Freight rates on Asia / Europe trade remain volatile
• Freight rates on Transpacific trade tend to be somehow less volatile
• Freight rates on Latin America trade influenced by economical development in China and Brazil

Increasingly favourable supply side factors provide backdrop for profitable growth in the medium term

Scrapping is increasing (with Panama Canal expansion)

Declining incremental benefits of ever larger vessels
