Feedback and Q&A

Delivering substantially stronger than standard tankers for the quarter

Q4 2024 TCE earnings1 guiding vs. actual Highlights and comments

  • Preliminary CABU TCE earnings above mid-point guiding mainly due to more capacity in caustic soda trades supported by a tight contract schedule.
  • Preliminary CLEANBU TCE earnings below mid-point due to considerably weaker product tanker market compared to the forward market at the time of guiding, more than expected ballasting and waiting time for two vessels after completion of drydock, and negative IFRS 152 effects.
  • Both the CABU and CLEANBU fleet delivered considerably higher TCE earnings compared to standard MR and LR1 vessels for the quarter, with a multiple of 1.73 and 1.43 respectively.
On-hire days Q4 2024
(guiding)
Q4 2024 (actual)
CABU 680 684
CLEANBU 650 631
KCC Fleet 1 330 1 315

• 15 fewer on-hire days than guided mainly due to longer dry-docking of two CLEANBU vessels.

2) IFRS15 recognises revenue based on load-to-discharge and not based on discharge-to-discharge. No cash effect, but effect om timing of revenue recognition. 3) Clarksons, MR (CABU) and LR1 (CLEANBU) tanker multiple calculated based on assumption of one-month advance cargo fixing/«lag»

  • Expects to secure full 2025 caustic soda contract volume for the CABU fleet during the next weeks – expecting more than 30% of full contract volume to be fixed-rate
  • With less difference between the dry bulk and product tanker markets in 2025, KCC's earnings premiums to standard markets are expected to increase based on KCC's efficient combination trading
  • Working to get the full fleet into the best combination trades by optimizing CABU trading to/from Australia and secure trading in main combi-trades for the CLEANBU vessels
