Latin American PanelNovember 1, 2011 TANKER MARKET OVERVIEW JOSEPH ANGELO MANAGING DIRECTOR
The state of the Tanker Industry • Weak market, uncertain/weak fundamentals • Oversupply of tankers • slow steaming (ballast) • Lowering of C/P speed • Suez Canal less used • Piracy effect – longer routes/inefficiency • Waiting • Increased Middle East export has not helped freight rates
Tanker MarketWorld GDP and oil demand change % Oil/tanker demand correlates with Economic growth IMF forecast positive growth projected – but there is great uncertainty Because the extra barrel is taken from the Middle east, tonne-miles growth is stronger Source. IMF/BP/IEA/Fearnleys

ConclusionsSlowing Growth, Rising Risks • Fundamentals uncertain or weak • Recovery in the US and Europe and debt problems are aggravating situation • Chinese growth is threatened partly by weakening world economy but also by a domestic debt burdened industry • Oil demand growth still positive, but weakening • Surplus of tankers will continue to increase
ConclusionsStrategic tanker consideration • China and Asia expected to drive demand and the Middle East has the reserves • Successful Green House Gas reduction will mean reduced oil consumption • High oil prices dampen growth in world economy and a stimuli to fuel saving • Substantial opportunities for both owners and charterers with regard to vessel speed • Costs reduction needs carful risk management
