Setting the Scene I cannot forecast you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key? The key is Russian national interests. Sir Winston Churchill, 1939
Setting the Scene • Scene 2004 • Russian oil prevented a 3rd oil crises • Safety record of tankers from FSU high • Europe completely dependent on Russian oil Change of Scene? • Scene 2005 • Russian oil export slowing – tension in the oil market • Safety record continue to be excellent - no new major tanker casualties • Increasing oil export from special projects (Primorks (soon peaking?), Sakhalin, Northern areas) and pipelines? • Overinvestment in ice-classed tonnage?
World increase in oil demand supplied by FSU and the rest mbd
Sources of European oil import 1H05 – 12.9 mbd • 4.4 mbd • (The US 0.32 mbd from FSU 1H05) • Source: IEA
Oil export from FSU 1H05 • Source: IEA
Market effect (pipeline effect) • of one mbd transported various trades
Tanker incidents • World wide and FSU related • Collisions, grounding, Hull & Machinery, Fire & Explosions, others
Tanker incidents and pollutionBaltic, Black Sea, Bosporus, East Med

Tanker trade by hull -1Q00-2Q05 • Aframax tanker – spot fixtures from Murmansk area • Movements 2004 53 • Movements 2005 39 • Movements total 92 • Russian ships: 48 (52%) • Average cargo size 99,377 tonnes • Average tanker size 109,078dwt • Average age 2004 2.6 years in 2004 • Average age 2005 4.1 years • All double hull tankers • + a limited number of small tankers carrying products (some 20/year) Source: Riverlake
Ice Class • Number of Aframaxes available and needed for Primorsk trade (including 1A/1B/1C tankers) Number Source: Riverlake, Geneva 2003/04 addition 17 handysize tankers available 1C tankers may have problems in January/February
Conclusion • Slower expansion in FSU oil export, but • Most Russian oil goes to Europe • Pipelines will in medium to long term take market shares • Safety record very good, trade served by modern tonnage • Many projects – uncertainty with regard to technical, geological, commercial as well as political factors
