Pacific Basin Dry Bulk - Outlook Strong Chinese demand for minor bulk Still excessive, but reduced, overhang of supply commodities + shipbuilding capacity Global trade imbalances and fleet utilisation Global economic recovery negatively impacted inefficiencies by further shocks relating to European finances and US government spending Stronger than anticipated US economic recovery and revived industrialisation in N. America Premature shipowner optimism resulting in less scrapping, increased ordering activity and Fewer newbuilding deliveries increased vessel prices Continued high levels of dry bulk scrapping Increased national protectionism impacting raw Bank lending constraints limit funding for ship materials trade acquisitions Potentially weaker growth in the Chinese economy and industrial production PB Outlook: Dry bulk market to remain weak overall in 2013 though healthier fundamentals should limit further downside in Handysize Dry cargo demand is likely to be similarly healthy as last year Supply-side fundamentals are improving, but will take time to absorb oversupply Challenging market conditions likely to generate further acquisition opportunities Strategy: Invest in high-quality Handysize and Handymax ships Expand our dry bulk customer and cargo portfolio Decentralise our operational support function 9 2012 Annual Results
