Demand for Oil

ROBUST

• Oil demand growing last 25 years

• Yearly average 1.1 mbpd

• IEA forecast 1.2m bpd EVERY year to 2020

• 1.2 m bpd oil demand growth = for 36-49

VLCCs

Supply of Oil

EXCESS

• Market share strategy

• USA production shale: very resilient &

responsive

• Iran increase of 900k bpd

Supply of Vessels

MANAGEABLE

• Natural replacement cycle of 5% p.a.

• Order book largely industrial not speculative

• Order velocity substantially fallen since

Q3 2015

Ton Miles

BALANCED

• Trade lines established from production in West to consumption in East

• Ton miles a dynamic function in tankers

• Chinese imports diversification

• USA crude exports to increase ton miles

Financing

NEW BARRIER TO ENTRY

• New regulations (Basel 2&3) restricting

lending

• Distress in shipping loans has reduced risk

appetite

• Shipyards under pressure to reform

China & Oil Tankers – Four Reasons for Confidence

• SPR is not a luxury OR a STATIC number

• China needs 55 days coverage of consumption – so 12m bpd x 55d = 660m bbls today

• Target is comply by 2020 = 600m bbls 2015 SPR is currently 350m bbls

• Reforms have granted licences up to 1 mbpd (source: Bernstein)

• “Use it or lose it” element to the licences

• Substitution demand – new for tankers

• March 2016 – merger of teapots for procurement

• China continue to look to diversify sourcing of oil imports and decrease of domestic oil production

• Domestic production growth stagnant since 2012 (Source: Bernstein)

• Consensus is for 100k bpd requirement of imports replacing domestic production

STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE

Build out to slow 2016

C 50-110m bbls to be added = 140k bpd to 300k bpd

TEAPOT REFINERY

Refinery legislation anniversary June ’16

2016 = 50k bpd growth

DIVERSIFICATION OF SUPPLY & LIKELY

PRODUCTION PEAK

Consensus = 100k bpd

• BASE EFFECT – China consumes 11.8m (source: IEA) bpd so small % change means large no of barrels

• 500m people joined middle-class in past decade (source: McQuilling)

• Oil demand underpinned by consumer – diesel, gasoline & kerosene demand

OPERATIONAL ECONOMY

3% import growth = 210k bpd 5% import growth = 350k bpd

HUGE REDUCTION

IN SHIPPING BANK

EXPOSURE Around USD 70bn

withdrawn from shipping sector since 2008

REGULATIONSFORCE

LEVERAGE DOWN

• Banks lending flexibility severely

curtailed due to Basel II & III

• Shipping & Energy loans in distress

• Quantum of available lending capital restricted for

commercial reasons

PRIVATE EQUITY IN RETREAT

• PE exiting shipping

• PE been surprised by the lack of liquidity

implying a return to the sector as difficult to

realize

SHIP OWNERS UNDER

PRESSURE

• Other shipping segments: Dry Bulk, Offshore, Container

under severe financial pressure

• Most tanker owners have mixed fleets so pressure felt within ownership structure

SHIPYARD PRESSURE TO RESTRUCTURE

& REDUCE CAPACITY

• Low order books in all shipping segments leading to ship yard

distress

• Reforms being actively adopted by shipyards driven by

governments

Increasing Barriers to Entry Financing

DEMAND

• Agencies forecast steady growth to 2020

• Incremental expansion from Asia Pacific region

CHINA – GROWTH

• China oil demand by very diverse range of factors

• Base effect of economy consuming 12m bpd key

$ • Financing being restricted – new

barrier to entry

• Restricted access reducing vessel supply growth

SUPPLY OIL

• Supply of oil to remain elevated into 2017 with Iran and no co-ordinated production cuts

• Increased supply = increased demand for shipping

STORAGE

• Storage increasing across due to oversupply or strategic build e.g. India

• Ultimately stored crude needs to be shipped to final destination

19

• Tankers a highly cyclical sector – always repeats past mistakes

• Large vessel supply to drive freight rates lower

ASSET VALUES

• Asset values falling despite positive tanker earnings trend

• Lower NAV reduces valuation support

SLOWDOWN

OTHER

INVENTORY

• Inventory at record highs – will need to be cleared at some point thus reducing need for shipping

• Storage / contango on ships in present cycle been limited

• Worldwide shale development – unlikely outside of USA

• OPEC output cut / Middle East reduce exports

• Global GDP growth stagnant

• Tanker market - a transportation sector geared into GDP growth

• TRADE ROUTES NOW SET FROM ATLANTIC BASIN TO FAR EAST • REPEAL USA EXPORT BAN OPENS NEW MARKET TO TANKER SHIPPING • IRAN – POTENTIAL SHORT TERM BENEFIT FOR COMMERCIAL FLEET AS IRAN RE-ENTERS GLOBAL MARKETS

USA: infrastructure spend required to fully facilitate US exports ($1-4bn)

China domestic production likely peaked 2015 – more imports required
