Despite strong demand, transport volumes were flat as a result of strained supply chains
TRANSPORT VOLUME DEVELOPMENT BY TRADE [TTEU]

- The strong demand for exported goods from Asia led to an increase in transport volumes on the Middle East and Far East trades.
- On the Africa trade, the transport volume increased primarily due to the integration of Nile Dutch.
- The lower transport volume on the Intra-Asia and Latin America trade was essentially due to the optimised repositioning of containers to other trades.
- Despite high demand on the Atlantic and Transpacific trades, the congestion of local port infrastructure led to a decline in transport volumes.

Freight rates increased strongly by ~84% YoY – bunker costs were also considerably up
FREIGHT RATE [USD/TEU] VS. BUNKER PRICE DEVELOPMENT [USD/MT]

Transport expenses increased further due to clearly higher bunker prices and ongoing operational challenges
TRANSPORT EXPENSES PER UNIT [USD/TEU]

- "Bunker" expenses (+68%) increased on the back of higher average bunker consumption prices
- "Handling and Haulage" (+14%) and "Equipment and Repositioning" (+14%) expenses were up due to higher storage and hinterland transportation costs
- "Vessels and voyage" expenses (+11%) increased due to higher operating expenses for chartered vessels and rising slot charter costs on 3rd party vessels
- "Depreciation and amortization" expenses (+39%) were up primarily due to the rise in the percentage of vessels chartered in on a mediumterm basis at simultaneously higher charter rates
