Hunter Freya fuel savings vs. benchmark VLCC (\$/day)

• Quoted VLCC dayrates are on the basis of a 10-year old "benchmark" vessel
• 2010-built vessels were ordered in a market environment where fuel efficiency was less important
• Hence, dayrates for modern scrubber-equipped VLCCs are higher

Avg consumption: 45 tons HSFO per day 60 tons of VLSFO per day

Hunter Freya "Benchmark" 2010 built w.o. scrubber
