Shipping Intelligence Weekly (SIW) is published on a Friday (or earlier if public holidays demand) fifty times a year (excluding Easter and Christmas weeks). Dedicated files are updated every week with the latest available data whether its frequency is weekly, monthly or longer. Sources of information are both internal and external. Internal data is gathered from Clarkson Research databases or from H. Clarkson brokers. External data is gathered from a variety of published sources. All data and informa-tion in this report is as reported up to noon on the date of publication. The data is being continually as-sessed, and changes may occur to historical time series. All the data in SIW is available through the Shipping Intelligence Network (www.clarksons.net) in Excel compatible time series. Cover ClarkSea Index: The ClarkSea Index is the only published weekly indicator of earnings for all the main commercial vessel types. It is weighted according to the number of vessels in each fleet sector. Clarksons Research collects rates direct from the Clarksons brokers on a daily and weekly basis and these are used to calculate the earnings that go to make up the ClarkSea Index. The sectors in the Clark-Sea Index are oil tankers (VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax and clean product carriers), dry bulk carriers (Capesize, Panamax, Handymax and Handysize, gas carriers (VLGC) and fully cellular containerships. The ClarkSea Index is published in graphical/numerical form on the front page of the Clarksons Ship-ping Intelligence Weekly (SIW) and as a downloadable time series and graph on SIN – Shipping Intel-ligence Network (www.clarksons.net). 1. Freight Rates (pp. 2-7,9) Spot rates (pp.2-5): Currently, information for 49 tanker and 34 bulkcarrier spot voyages (see Annex 2) are collected on a weekly basis and form a database stretching back, in some cases, over 30 years. This is done with the assistance of H. Clarkson & Co. brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared each week by Clarkson Research showing the previous week’s rates. Tripcharter rates for four routes for a 45,000 dwt Handymax vessel, four routes for a 52,000 dwt Handymax vessel and four routes for a 74,000 dwt Panamax vessel, all of which are based on the standard specifications of BIFFEX vessels (see Annex 3), are also collected in this way. Best estimates of likely fixing levels are provided where no market fixture is made. Currently, rates are expressed in Worldscale (WS) for tanker voyages; $/tonne for dry cargo spot voyages (historically, some rates were quoted in $/(long) ton); and $/day for dry cargo trip-charters. Spot rates (p.6): Spot gas and chemical voyage rates are also collected on a weekly basis with the assis-tance of H. Clarkson & Co. brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared each week by Clarkson Research showing the previous week’s rates. Although some rates have historically been quoted in $/(long) ton, they are all now expressed in $/metric tonne, as is the custom of the trade. Spot rates (p.7): Short Sea rates are provided by H.C. Shipping & Chartering Ltd in Hull, UK, a fully owned subsidiary of H. Clarkson & Co. Rates for offshore vessels (in £/day) are averages of reported fixtures in the respective market sectors as supplied by One Offshore UK Ltd. Liner market charter rates (in $/day) are provided on a monthly basis by H.Clarkson brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared each month by Clarkson Research showing the previous month’s rate. Earnings (pp.2-4): Earnings are estimated as daily timecharter equivalents (TCEs) of voyage freight rates, and expressed in $/day on the voyage. In broad terms, earnings for each route are calculated by taking the total revenue, deducting current bunker costs based on prices at representative regional bun-ker ports (as provided by the OceanConnect bunker brokering desk) and estimated port costs (after cur-rency adjustments) and then dividing the result by the number of voyage days. Details of the calcula-tions and their constituent parameter and assumptions are set out in more detail in Annexes 1-4.

Earnings are calculated on the basis of standard ship types (listed in Annex 3). For all crude oil and dry bulk routes, earnings are estimated for a modern and an older standard ship. Earnings for both are cal-culated based on a single freight rate (for modern tonnage). Only earnings based on the most modern vessel are published in full in the SIW. The averages for older Capesize and Panamax vessels are also published. For tankers, average earnings for each ship type (“Ave. Earnings”) are averages of the voyage earnings for selected routes, as indicated on the page. Average earnings for both the Capesize and Panamax bulk carrier sectors are simple averages across all the recorded individual voyages for that vessel type. Certain factors are not accounted for in the earnings calculations. These include: (i) the payment of commission. (ii) other voyage-related costs. (iii) vessel waiting time at port. (iv) time the vessel is off-hire. TCEs of voyage freight rates are also collected for two LPG voyages. These rates are quoted in $ ‘000/month by the brokers, but are converted into $/day for publication on page 6. It is important to note that these earnings calculations are only intended as benchmark indicators of the direction of the market. As such, they should not be taken to represent the precise earnings of specific vessels. However, it is possible to tailor these statistics through Clarksons Consultancy Division. For more information, please contact our consultancy team by email at [email protected]. The assumptions and standard ship types used in the timecharter equivalent earnings calculations are reviewed on a regular basis by Clarkson Research and H. Clarkson brokers, and updates are made available in this document. Comments on these assumptions and the resultant earnings calculation are welcome from users of the data, although it is important to note that the assumptions used in the calcu-lations are just one of a range of possible assumptions, that other sources of earnings information may use alternative assumptions, and that the use of different assumptions can potentially make a significant difference to the results of earnings calculations. For both the tanker and bulk carrier markets, rates are collected and earnings calculated for routes that are not published in SIW. All this additional data is available through the Shipping Intelligence Net-work in Excel compatible time series. Biffex (p.5): A database is maintained of the daily Baltic Freight Indices and the rates of their compo-nent routes as published by the Baltic Exchange. The rates published every week are from the preced-ing Thursday, or from the nearest available date. For details of the Baltic Exchange Indices (BPI, BDI, BHMI, BCI, etc.) see www.balticexchange.com. FFA Indications are as reported by Clarksons Securities Ltd. at the close of business the preceding Thursday, or the nearest available date. In the table of FFA Indications, the BPI 1A TransAtlantic R/V ($/day) was replaced on 21st November 2003 by the more liquid BCI 7 Bolivar/Rotterdam ($/tonne). Timecharters (p.9): Timecharter data is collected in two primary ways: (i) One year, three year and five year tanker rates, expressed in $/day, are collected on a weekly basis for average ship types. In the dry bulk sector, data is collected for all of these rates, plus a six month rate as well. The ship types for which rates are collected are specified on page 9 of SIW.

Specifications of timecharter ships on page 9 of SIW: (a) “CSBC” is China Shipbuilding Corporation of Taiwan style of Capesize built in the

1980s and 1990s of approximately 149,500 dwt. (b) The Handysize dry bulk carrier is a ‘modern’ vessel, between 28-30,000 dwt and fitted

with cranes between 25-30 tonnes. (c) The Handymax is 45,000 dwt, between 5-10 years old. This was 40,000 dwt until Feb-

ruary 2002. (d) The Super Handymax (“Supramax”) is a 52,000 dwt ‘modern’ vessel. Note: 1. ‘Modern’ is taken to mean no more than ten years old. 2. The above specifications are meant to be guidelines only, and not actual ships. With respect to timecharter rates, data is collected in the same way as for spot market rates; namely, by requesting brokers to fill in a weekly pro-forma with the latest rate for each ship type or by estimating the likely rate acceptable to an owner in the absence of any fixtures. Capesize and Panamax bulkcarrier timecharter rates are the average of quotations for Atlantic and Pacific delivery, redelivery worldwide. Handymax bulkcarrier timecharter rates are the average of Atlantic delivery/redelivery and Pacific de-livery/redelivery. This data is cross checked with the timecharter matrices that both the tanker and bulk carrier broker desks publish each week. Timecharter rates are also collected for over 10 LPG voyages. These rates are quoted in $ ‘000/month by the brokers, but are converted into $/day for publication on page 6. (ii) Details of all reported tanker and bulk carrier timecharter fixtures (and gas fixtures) are recorded in the Clarkson Research commercial database. This data is sourced from available published sources and cross checked with information gathered by H. Clarkson brokers in the course of their business. Activ-ity in the timecharter market, recorded as the number of fixtures for periods of one year or more, is gen-erated from this and reported alongside average timecharter rates for tankers and bulkcarriers on page 9 of SIW. 2. Ship Prices (pp.8, i-ii, 10-11) Secondhand Sales & Prices (pp.8, i-ii): Prices for secondhand vessels are collated in conjunction with H. Clarkson & Co. sale and purchase brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared by Clarkson Re-search showing the previous week’s levels. Prices are collected for various sizes and ages of vessels for the main vessel types and relate to market sales where these have taken place and to brokers best esti-mates when no sale has occurred. Prices are for standard ships of the types described in average condi-tion, built at good Far East/European shipyards but with no account taken for survey status or condition which could affect values. All data is collected on a weekly basis, and maintained as a database of month-end prices. Time series of these prices stretch back over 30 years for some vessels. In general, prices are expressed in US$ mil-lion, but for individual sales maintained in the Clarkson Research Ship Sales Database other currencies may be specified. In SIW, this is particularly relevant to Ro-Ro vessels, where sales are quoted in Eu-ros. This sales data is sourced from market information provided by H. Clarkson brokers and from pub-lished material. An extract of the most recent of these sales by vessel type, including the latest sale of each ship type/size is displayed on page ii of SIW. In recent years, numerous changes/updates have been made to the existing time series, all of which have been noted on page 8. Please note that because the vessel sizes assigned to each type are represen-tative benchmarks, they are adjusted in accordance with variances in the market. Generally, these changes will be amalgamated into existing time series. The Clarkson 5-year-old Secondhand Price Indices are calculated by averaging the $ per dwt values of

Page 5: CLARKSONS Methods and Soruces for Voyage Estimations

Shipping Intelligence Weekly - Sources, Methods & Definitions

Clarkson Research Services 5 October 2010

the various 5-year-old ships. The base of 100 is taken as the average index value as of January 2000. Between October 2008 and January 2010, CRSL did not publish benchmark values and users should be aware that this was a period of transition in the Sale and Purchase markets, characterised by spells of rapidly changing price levels, low levels of sales activity and a wide spread of price ideas. During this period, the data should be treated with caution as confidence limits will vary over time and between sectors. See Annex 5 for more details. The Clarkson Ship Sales Database provides the source data for establishing the volume of sales activity by ship type/size and by buyer and the value of sales which is set out on a monthly basis on page i of SIW. Newbuilding Contracts & Prices (p.10): The procedures for collecting and collating newbuilding prices are the same as those for secondhand prices. They are collated on a weekly basis in conjunction with H. Clarkson & Co. sale and purchase brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared by Clarkson Re-search showing the previous week’s levels. Prices are collected for various sizes of newbuildings for the main vessel types. These relate to concluded contracts when possible and to brokers’ best estimates when none have occurred. Prices are for ships of a “European Spec”, 5x 20% payments and “first class competitive yards” quotations. It is also important to note that these newbuilding prices are benchmark values and prices will vary according to country of build, delivery and ship specification. All data is collected on a weekly basis, and maintained as a database of month-end ship prices. Time series of these prices stretch back over 30 years for some vessels. In general, prices are expressed in US$ million, but for individual sales maintained in the Clarkson Research Ship Sales Database other currencies may be specified. Note, that for newly delivered vessels, the originally reported contract price is quoted where available (see page iii of SIW). Details of actual newbuilding contracts and overall activity are maintained in the Clarkson Research Newbuilding Database, either as unconfirmed orders, options or confirmed orders along with the re-ported price level and currency when this is available. Data is also sourced from external published material. However, only confirmed contracts are published in the SIW. The Clarkson Newbuilding Price Index is calculated by averaging the $ per dwt values of the various ship types. The base of 100 is taken as the average index value as of January 1988. Demolition Sales & Prices (p. 11): The procedures for collecting scrap prices are the same as those for secondhand and newbuilding prices. They are collated on a weekly basis in conjunction with H. Clarkson & Co. sale and purchase brokers who fill in pro-formas prepared by Clarkson Research show-ing the previous week’s levels. Prices are collected for a range of ship types and scrapping locations (e.g. “|China”, “India” and “Bangladesh”). The prices that are quoted are related to market sales where they have taken place and to brokers’ best estimates when no sale has occurred. All data is collected on a weekly basis, and maintained as a database of month-end prices. Time series of these prices stretch back over 40 years in some instances. Eighteen separate prices expressed in terms $ per lightweight ton (ldt) are collected every week for a range of ship types and scrapping loca-tions (i.e. The “Far East” and the “Indian sub-Continent”). The values published in SIW are based on prices on the Indian sub-Continent for both tankers (based on a VLCC) and dry cargo vessels (based on a handy dry bulkcarrier of around 8,000 ldt). The additional values are available through the Shipping Intelligence Network in Excel compatible time series. Information on actual demolition sales is based on market information provided by H. Clarkson bro-kers and is checked and validated by reference to a range of published sources. It is stored on the Clark-son Ship Database. It includes data such as the vessels’ lightweights, the buyer and eventual breaker, its

Clarkson Research Services 6 October 2010

reported sale price in $/ldt and its estimated value in $ million. Latest sales are listed in the table on pages iii and 11 of SIW. The Database is used as the source material for the tables of demolition activ-ity, by buyer and by ship type/size. 3. Economic & Financial Data (p.12) Economic and financial data e.g. GDP (historical and forecast), industrial production growth rates, ex-change rates, forward buying rates, interest rates, inflation rates and commodity prices are all sourced from recognised business, governmental and international organisations as well as the financial and commodity press on a weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending on availability. Our sources for this information include the Financial Times, The Economist, OECD, the IMF, Petroleum Intelligence Weekly, International Grain Council and Metal Bulletin. 4. Trade Data (p.13) Data on the main oil and dry cargo trades is sourced from a multitude of recognised business, commod-ity, governmental and international organisations on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending on availability. It is published as soon as it becomes available. (i) Sources of information used for oil and oil related data include: Petroleum Intelligence Weekly and sister publications, Exxon, BP, Monthly Energy Review of the EIA, Bulletin Mensuel, Eurostat, Tex Report and Petroleum Association of Japan. (ii) Sources of data for the dry cargo trades include: International Iron & Steel Institute, Tex Report, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Eurostat, National Coal Association (USA), Coal & Coke Statistics (Canada), Joint Coal Board (Australia), South African Coal Report, International Wheat Council, US Department of Agriculture publications, and other national custom statistics organisations. Statistics are taken only from published data and no use is made of confidential information obtained by Clarkson Research in the course of its business. Data is compiled into time series which are used to project future trade flows on an annualised basis and ship demand. 5. Fleet Data (p.14-15) All historical and current data on the fleet, changes in the fleet and the orderbook for tankers, bulkcar-riers, combined carriers, gas vessels, cellular containerships, multi-purpose vessels, general cargo, ro-ro vessels, car carriers, reefer vessels and offshore vessels is compiled by the Clarkson Research Statistics Department. Information is continuously updated through consultation with the H. Clarkson broking network and through questionnaires and direct contacts with shipowners and shipyards. Checking and validation is carried out with reference to a range of published sources. Regular follow-up surveys en-sure the quality and completeness of data is continuously improved. Data collection and validation is carried out in accordance with the Clarkson Procedure CR/OPR/301. Clarkson’s quality systems are ISO 9002 compliant. The system provides for monthly validations of the data, with closure at the end of each month and output reported correct as at the beginning of the fol-lowing month. These procedures provide for one of the only sources of regular monthly updates of fleet data. Fleet data for tankers, combos and bulkcarriers are measured in metric tonnes. All fleet data is adjusted retrospectively for minor miscellaneous changes in the fleet when necessary. 6. Fleet Activity (p.14) Combined Carriers: An analysis of the trading activity of combined carriers is made each month.

Clarkson Research Services 7 October 2010

Movements of all combined carriers are checked and an assessment made of the trades in which the vessels are operating as at the first of each month based on its ports of call. A vessel is assumed to be in a particular trade from the time it loads a cargo until it reached another load port. The trades to which a vessel is allocated are either oil or one of four categories of dry bulk trades i.e. iron ore, coal, grain or others. If a vessel is laid-up or otherwise inactive this is also recorded. If there is ambiguity concerning which cargo a vessel is carrying based on its ports of call, the market knowledge of H. Clarkson brokers and their access to owner information is relied upon. Once the data for each vessel has been recorded it is linked with data from the Clarkson Research Ships Database and a routine analysis is carried out that demarcates the trading activity of the fleet into trades by ship type and size in terms of both numbers of ships and deadweight. A monthly historical record of the trading pattern of the fleet is maintained.

Inactive Tonnage: The Clarkson Research Statistics Department make weekly checks on the activity status of the tanker, combined carrier and bulkcarrier fleets. Non-trading codes are allocated to the rele-vant vessels within the Clarkson Research Ships Database, indicating whether it is: (i) damaged and out of service. (ii) idle and awaiting orders in the Arabian Gulf (4 weeks or more). (iii) Idle for more than six weeks. (iv) laid-up. (v) in long term storage (more than 60 days). (vi) being repaired. Information on ships that are damaged, scrapped or sent for repair is sourced primarily from publicly available industry reports, such as the shipping press, and is subsequently checked and validated. Infor-mation on tonnage that is idle, laid-up or in storage is sourced primarily from broker information, fix-ture records and other industry sources/publications.

Note: Clarkson Research is registered for ISO 9002. All data collection and processing is carried out in accordance with documented procedures on database maintenance, publication and infor-mation handling contained in the Clarkson Research Operating Handbook.

The purpose of the TCEs is to provide readers with an estimate of the daily earnings of ships implied by the current level of spot freight rates. The calculated earnings relate to voyages only. They take no ac-count of any waiting or off-hire time. For tankers, round voyages are assumed for all, except routes T58/T66, T77/T78 and T80/T81; for bulk carriers, different voyage patterns are assumed depending on the route (see Annex 2). For all crude oil and dry bulk routes earnings are estimated for more than one standard ship, though only those for the most modern vessel are published in full in the SIW. With respect to the earnings for the older vessels, only the averages for the bulk carrier routes of each vessel type are published in the SIW. 1. Routes Covered: Timecharter equivalent estimates are currently prepared each week by Clarkson Research for 143 tanker and bulkcarrier voyage/ship combinations. This information is laid out in detail in Annex 2(a) and 2(d). Annex 2 also outlines and tracks the development of the routes that were used prior to the current selection. 2. Ship Types Covered: The average earnings calculations are based on a set of 22 representative ships. The representative ship types were selected, after consultation with H. Clarkson brokers, to provide a fair indication of the “typical” vessel being chartered on each route. A range of these “typical vessels”, extracted from the Clarkson Research ship database, were then analysed to provide average ship char-acteristics. Details of the representative ships are listed in Annex 3. Annex 3 also outlines and tracks the development of the vessel assumptions that were used prior to the current selection. 3. Timecharter Equivalent Calculation: Each week, the TCEs are calculated using a voyage estimating programme. Annex 4 outlines the calculations. The key parameters in the equations are: (i) Freight rates: although freight rates for some dry cargo routes have historically been quoted in $/long ton, all dry cargo rates are currently expressed in $/tonne, as is the custom of the trade. Tanker rates are converted from Worldscale using the Worldscale flat rate taken from the Worldscale website, as published on 1st January of each calendar year. Please note that the Worldscale flat rates are subject to revision as noted in the periodic distribution of Worldscale circulars. (ii) Cargo loaded: these are predetermined and where relevant are based on the restrictions of the vessel (e.g. cubic capacity), the load and/or discharge ports (draft restrictions) or canal restrictions (draft, beam). Cargo quantity is shown in Annex 2, column 4. The cargo sizes are intended to represent the most common quantity currently prevalent on that particular route. (iii) Port costs: the total port cost for each voyage is calculated as the sum of loading and discharge costs for the specified cargo size and ship type. The sources used to determine these figures range from the ports themselves via questionnaires, owners via Clarkson brokers and for tankers, the Intertanko website. The costs are then converted from the local currency to US dollars at the current exchange rate and updated at the start of every month. (iv) Canal costs: when a voyage involves passage through a canal, the costs are added. (v) Sea Time: calculated from the voyage distance (taken from BP distance tables and Worldscale Books) and the vessel speed, plus a sea margin of 5% and any additional time for a canal transit. (vi) Port time: is calculated as an average of two days loading and two days discharging for tanker voy-ages. For the bulk trades, the total port time is determined by the actual experiences of the trade as ad-vised by the H. Clarkson & Co. brokers. Turn time is also added when relevant, see Annex 2. (vii) Bunker prices: these are taken from the Thursday edition of the OceanConnect Bunker Price Re-

Clarkson Research Services 9 October 2010

port. For each geographical region, a representative bunker port has been selected and one or more is allocated to each route as appropriate. The voyage estimating programme first calculates the time the voyage takes in days. It then computes the net revenue earned on the voyage, after deducting total fuel/bunker costs, port costs and canal charges from the total freight revenue. The average earnings in $ per day is computed by dividing this net earnings by days for the voyage. The calculated earnings are for a single voyage only and do not include any allowance for waiting time, delays or off-hire time. 4. Speed: No attempt is made to optimise earnings by adjusting speed in response to movement in bun-ker prices or freight rates. See Annex 3. 5. Consumption: For each vessel type, standard consumption values for laden and ballast voyages and time in port have been used. See Annex 3. 6. Ballast Voyages: For tankers the vessel is assumed to return to its loading port in ballast after dis-charge, except for routes T58/T66, T77/T78 and T80/T81. For some dry cargo routes, a shorter ballast voyage is used where this is considered to be realistic. A list of the laden and ballast distances used in the calculation is contained in Annex 2. 7. Commission: No commission charge is included. 8. Procedure for Updating Freight Rates: Tanker and dry cargo freight rates on the 83 routes are up-dated on Thursday afternoon/Friday morning each week by the H. Clarkson & Co. brokers. Where there has been no actual fixture on a particular route, an estimate is provided. For each market sector updating is carried out by the H. Clarkson & Co. desk trading in that specific ship size. 9. Updating Procedure: The updated freight rates are entered into the computer programme on Thurs-day evening/Friday morning each week. Estimates are then checked by the editor of SIW. 10. Voyage Earnings Calculations: A print-out of the basic voyage estimating equation for tankers and bulk carriers is contained in Annex 4. 11. Validation of Programme: All possible measures have been taken to ensure that the opportunity of any inadvertent corruption to our production process has been minimised. There are also numerous safeguards in place to prevent persistent errors. 12. Other Freight Information: In addition to the freight rates for the above 143 voyage routes, data for 12 bulkcarrier tripcharter routes, 44 bulkcarrier period timecharters and 24 tanker period timechar-ters are collected. Clarkson brokers provide on a weekly basis all the period timecharter rates and the rates for the 12 tripcharter routes; data. Freight rates for other specialised markets are also collected including: spot rates and earnings and timecharter rates for LPG routes and vessels; spot freight rates for chemical cargoes; spot freight rates for short sea cargoes, spot daily charter hire rates for offshore service vessels; daily hire rates and period charter rates for a variety of liner vessels. 13. Stem Sizes: Sometimes the quoted cargo size moves slightly out of line with accepted practice. In order to avoid constantly changing the cargo size, and unnecessarily disturb the time series, we ask the brokers to continue to quote on a rate but as a pro rota.

Note Re Secondhand Price Benchmark Publication (p.8) Following the period of financial market turbulence in September 2008, Clarkson Research Services Limited (CRSL) suspended their publication of second-hand benchmark prices in Shipping Intelligence Weekly (SIW). This action recognised the difficulties in giving a representative benchmark value to the market considering the rapidly changing price levels, low levels of sale and purchase activity, (partly due to the difficulties in securing bank finance), and wide spread of price ideas of sellers and buyers. To this extent, it could have been misleading to give a benchmark index valuation without proper accompanying guidance. Accordingly, as guided in SIW throughout the period of non publica-tion of the benchmark index values, if the reader needed any valuation guidance Clarkson Valuations Limited (CVL) continued to actively provide specific valuations, including for its wide range of exist-ing clients, and remained the leading supplier of valuations to the shipping industry. Additional word-ing was developed to explain the difficulties involved in the valuation process and a regular dialogue was entered into with clients to highlight the complexities and where confidence limits on valuations were wider than normal. CRSL felt this was an important and responsible action to ensure prices produced as benchmark fig-ures, without suitable guidance and explanation, could have been misleading. In January 2010, CRSL resumed its publication of values in SIW – this decision was made on the basis that liqidity had re-turned to all the markets covered and the start year was a clean and convenient point in time to resume. The Sale and Purchase markets had returned to some form of normality with more stable pricing and greater sales volumes. These volumes culminated in December 2009 - the most active month since May 2008 reported across the sectors covered in the benchmark tables. The historical time series in the inter-vening period have been placed on Shipping Intelligence Network (SIN) but users should treat the data with caution and be aware of the periods of uncertainty discussed above.
