Combination carriers: Value generation on several levels 0

The design allows for trade pattern optimization

  • The Issuer currently owns six combined caustic soda and dry bulk carriers. Three other vessels with similar features exist.
  • A subsidiary of the Issuer has six additional combination carriers under construction on two different yards in China with delivery in 2016(2), 2017(1), 2018(2) and 2019(1).
  • The vessels are Klaveness' own concept, mainly designed to service the alumina industries. Klaveness has a unique position in the caustic soda trade to Australia due to the efficient trading pattern and logistics system.
  • One external investor (Taiship) owns 50% in two vessels and 19% in one vessel (in addition Trond Harald Klaveness owns 5% of on vessel through an entity outside the Torvald Klaveness group). Another external investor, EGD Shipholding AS, will own 50% in each of two newbuilds.

Caustic soda coverage

Strong earnings and client base

  • Approximately 50% of total trading days are caustic soda transportation days.
  • Contract coverage on caustic soda legs are important, while being spot on the dry legs gives flexibility. In addition dry bulk volumes are higher.
  • Utilization is close to 100% for both the dry and caustic soda legs.
  • Due to both low dry bulk and tank markets earnings have come down to around USD 18,000 - 19,000/d in 2016.
