Comments

  • Q1: Barcarena delayed 17 days in Q1 due to increased scope of steel renewal
  • Q1-Q2: Baru delayed 6 days in Q1 due to unplanned repair of propeller shaft. The repair will impact Q2 off-hire and Baru is expected to be ready for commercial activity 15 May. The repair is not related to the energy efficiency retrofit project and large additional off-hire is not expected for remaining dry dockings in 2024

Cash flow Maintaining a solid long-term available liquidity position

Comments

  • No extraordinary events driving cash flow in the quarter
  • Repaid USD 7 million on revolving credit facility capacity in Q1

Solid available liquidity position of USD 180 million at the end of Q1 as funds have been secured for future investments in newbuilds and energy efficiency measures

Summary and outlook

Carbon intensity increased driven by less efficient CLEANBU trading

Carbon intensity (EEOI)1

g CO2/(tons cargo x nautical miles)

Compared to 2023:

• CABU EEOI down 4% due to improved combi trading

• CLEANBU EEOI up 17% due to strong tanker market: incen�vizing higher speeds and less combi trading

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.

Vessel speed and time in ballast had a large impact on EEOI in Q1
