NOTE 2: ZIM is a non-exclusive member of the 2M Alliance. NOTE 3: SM LINE still largely independent (main remnant of Hanjin Shipping). Mostly a inter- Asia carrier. TEU v FEU & Liner Terms ▪ TEU represents TWENTY EQUIVALENT UNITS or a 20’ container ▪ NOTE: TEU is the generally accepted value for service contracts and maintenance requirements. ▪ FEU represents FORTY EQUIVALENT UNITS or a 40’ container Liner terms tend to be for specialized cargo and are not as prevalent in day/day containerized cargo. For reference, the most common are listed below: ▪ Hook/Hook = Chartering term that pushes the stevedoring/terminal fees onto the shipper/receiver. ▪ Full Liner Terms = Freight rate generally includes full stevedoring, loading/unloading, dunnage, etc. This is generally considered containerized cargo. ▪ SUBSETS OF FULL LINER: ▪ Free In/Liner Out (FILO) = cost of loading the vessel at origin is not included but is included at destination. ▪ Free In & Out (FIO) = cost of loading the vessel is not included for origin or destination. ▪ Liner In/Free Out (LIFO) = cost of loading the vessel is included but unloading is not included Intro to Key Ocean Entities – Share of Market I ▪ 1.

Many older ports struggle to service mega ships efficiently. Most North American ports have adequate deep water slips, however developing and under-developed countries struggle. Vessel Types Mega Ships & Counter Cyclical Trends ▪ Mega ships tend lead to “herd” effects, which tends to create overcapacity. ▪ Financing for mega ships is relatively cheap, considering many mega shipbuilders are subsidized by public funds in their home countries. Financing is even easier for SSL under state control. ▪ Growth of SSL vessel fleets are opposite of the global trade trend. ▪ Capacity is currently x4 of what it was in the year 2000. ▪ Container growth path was largely inline with global economic conditions between 1990 and 2000. This largely diverged beginning in late 2007, which brought on stagnation in seaborne trade. ▪ Economies of scale has also largely encouraged further consolidation and alliance sharing privileges leading to competition concerns. Mega Ships & Counter Cyclical Trends II ▪ Cost Savings? IMO 2020 causes significant concerns on this topic: ▪ The majority of savings with larger vessels is attributed to efficiencies gained through propulsion. ▪ New ships focus on “slow steaming,” meaning ships voluntarily move slower to avoid burning fuel more rapidly and increasing the frequency of stops at ports. ▪ Cost savings to carriers is typically enjoyed when increasing from 8,500 TEUS to 15,000 TEUS. When increasing from 15,000 TEUS to 19,000 TEUS, the cost savings are reduced significantly. ▪ WHY? Due to the inability to fill all container slots…especially moving west bound on the equipment reposition to Asia from North America. Speed v Cost savings Operational Costs v Speed / TEU Increase Mega Ships & Counter Cyclical Trends III Diseconomies of Scale? ▪ The largest container ships are deployed on the Far East-North Europe/North America trade lane, as there is sufficient cargo for this route, but also because this is the trade lane with the longest distance in nautical miles. Most of the cost savings of upsizing of container ships are realized at sea, because it is here that the fuel cost savings take place. ▪ The above is great, however this assumes that all vessels are full…This is not the case, especially for return/reposition voyages. ▪ Cost savings are absolutely dependent on the extent of a vessel being filled. ▪ The utilization rate that a 18,000 TEU vessel needs to reach a cost savings higher than that of a 14,000 TEU vessel is roughly 90%.
