  • Operating expenses, vessels were up USD 0.4 million/ 3% from Q1 2024 to Q2 2024, mainly due to:
    • Timing of procurement
    • Crew
  • CABU OPEX expected to be lower in 2H 2024 compared to 1H 2024 due to partly temporary effects
  • One CLEANBU vessel and one CABU vessel completed dry docking in Q2 2024 with in total 89 off-hire days
  • Two retrofit projects have been postponed until 2025, resulting in expected 76 fewer off-hire days in 2H 2024 compared to information provided in the Q1 2024 financial report (info about up-coming dry-dockings, see slide 38)

Summary and outlook

Carbon intensity flat Q-o-Q, impacted by CLEANBU tanker trading

Carbon intensity (EEOI)1

g CO2/(tons cargo x nautical miles)

Compared to Q1 2024:

CABU EEOI of 6.4, on target for 2024

CLEANBU EEOI decreased from Q1 by just 0.2, to 7.4, with a slight ballast share reduction in the high tanker market

22

1) EEOI = EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Index) is defined by IMO and represents CO2 emitted per transported cargo per nautical mile for a period of time (both fuel consumption at sea and port included). 2) Average CO2 emissions per vessel-year = total emissions/vessel year. Vessel years = days available – off-hire days at yards. When new vessels are delivered to the fleet, the vessel years are calculated from the date the vessel is delivered.

Reduced emission through close customer co-operation

Since 2023, freight payments under the sustainabilitylinked freight contract with South32 have been tied to the carbon emission performance of KCC's vessel

One of the trades under the contract with South32
