TIME-CHARTER RATE INDEX TIME-CHARTER RATES DEVELOPMENT

  • Following the surge in trade volumes, demand for charter vessels picked up significantly, in turn leading to a shortage of vessels out for chartering
  • Consequently, this put upward pressure on time-charter rates and downward pressure on idle statistics
  • Time-charter rates increased at record pace and are currently twice as high as in February 2020 (varying by vessel size)
  • Idle numbers decreased tremendously and are currently at 1.3% of the global fleet. Varying by vessel size segment, idle numbers decreased around 80% yoy

Company Outlook

OPERATING DAYS & FIXED REVENUE(1)

FIXED OPERATING DAYS (CONSOLIDATED VESSELS) COMMENTS

(1) Underlying min. / max. periods for contracted charter based on management assessment

(2) Considering delivery of AS Frida and AS Laguna to new owners in Mar. / Apr. 2021

17

(3) Incl. pool vessels and Bluewater JV vessels; vessels to be fixed in different categories, based on expected expiry of charter period (expected charter expiry based on management assessment and subject to change due to market development). Moreover, the gap between min. and max. periods is decreasing

  • Assumed available days of 20,621 (2021)(2) and 20,440 (2022)
  • Fixed charter revenues USD ~166m (2021) and USD ~59m (2022)
  • Revenue resulting in fixed TCE of USD 11,313 (2021) and USD 12,635 (2022) per operating day, respectively

Bluewater JV vessels

  • Assumed available days of 2,920 for 2021-22, thereof 2,308 (2021) and 934 (2022) fixed
  • Fixed charter revenues USD ~31m (2021) and USD ~14m (2022)
  • Revenue resulting in fixed TCE USD 13,545 (2021) and USD 14,533 (2022) per operating day, respectively

< 2,000 TEU MPCC's spot exposure enables prompt access to a continuing soaring charter market:

  • 16 fixtures YTD 2021 with average TCE of USD ~13,061 / day and average contract length of ~12 months
  • 19 / 11 / 9 fixtures expected in Q2 / Q3 / Q4 2021
  • Assessment of upcoming charter renewal is indicative only and subject to change

Company Outlook BENEFITTING FROM FAVOURABLE FUNDAMENTALS

Strong operational track record and governance, supportive shareholder base

Robust liquidity position, scrap protection and solid balance sheet with no significant debt maturities until 2023

Favourable mid- to long-term outlook for demand / supply rebalancing with continued low order books and scarce newbuild ordering within MPCC's intra-regional fleet segment

Ideally positioned to benefit from current charter market environment due to significant operational leverage and upcoming charter renewals

Strong cash-generating capacity through low cash break-even on a large fleet

Company Update | Pareto Securities' Nordic Corporate Bond Conference CONTENT

CONTAINER SHIPPING DYNAMICS

MPC CONTAINER SHIPS IS A TONNAGE PROVIDER…

  • Charters out owned vessels to global liner companies / regional carriers
  • Makes available vessel and crew, and performs services related to vessel operations (time charter contracts)
  • Voyage-related expenses (e.g. fuel costs and port fees) covered by the charterer (liner operator)
  • Achievable charter rates driven by supply (available tonnage, newbuilds on order and older tonnage expected to be demolished / recycled) and demand (global seaborne trade volumes, structural shifts in global sourcing patterns)

…CHARTERING OUT VESSELS TO LINER OPERATORS

  • Operate regularly scheduled services to transport container boxes (TEU, FEU, reefer, etc.) between a series of ports
  • Own on average 45% of their operating fleet
  • Charter-in remaining ~55% of tonnage on short- to long-term contracts, thus outsourcing capital requirements to ensure flexibility to adjust their trading networks according to shifts in demand
  • "Freight rates" refer to the transport cost of container boxes for cargo shippers, whilst "charter rates" refer to the cost per day for liner operators to charter-in vessels from tonnage providers

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED TRADE VOLUMES, FREIGHT RATES AND CHARTER RATES

GLOBAL TEU VOLUMES TRADED KEY BOX SHIPPING RATE INDICES TEU VOLUMES

COMMENTS

  • After a recession in 2020 (global GDP: -3.5%, international trade: -9.6%), the global economy has recovered slowly but steadily (global GDP forecasts 2021: 5.5% and 2022: 4.2%; international trade forecasts 2021: 8.1% and 2022: 6.3%). Second wave of COVID lockdowns may delay recovery
  • The container vessel market saw an unexpectedly strong and fast recovery, with global TEU volumes reaching 2019 levels already in July 2020 while freight and time-charter rates boasting significant uplifts (Freight Rate Index +238% since April 2020; Charter Rate Index +162% since June 2020)
