FEEDER TONNAGE CONCENTRATED IN INTRA-REGIONAL TRADES

• 75% of feeder tonnage deployed in intra-regional trades
• Intra-regional trades have high entry barriers for larger tonnage due to port restrictions, frequency requirements, inflexibility and commercial constraints
• Charter market recovery to be expected in segments best protected by cascading, e.g. regional feeder trades
• Intra-regional trades have outperformed other trading regions since 2011 and are projected to continue doing so, e.g. Intra-Asia with highest growth projections over the next 2 years (CAGR > 6%)
