By historical standards, however, rate levels will remain robust and most shipping companies will enjoy another profitable year even though operating costs increase and profitability margins narrow. For fleet developments, the near- term outlook remains worrisome for shipowners and operators based on the orderbook representing high portion of the existing fleet, though this is down from a peak in 2005. Looking forward we expect long-term outlook has brightened somewhat as ordering activity will moderate due to the falling freight rate and high shipbuilding price. Variables surrounding the shipping market such as oil price, port congestion, China and India effect will also affect the market trend, but it is estimated that the strength of them will be weaker than the past. After the turning point in the latter part of 2005 in the container market, the pace of decline will moderate in 2006. But, still, the delivery of new vessels including mega vessels will cause over supply this year. However, lack of facilities and efficiencies in ports and infrastructure and emerging new markets like South America, India, East Mediterranean, and Africa could offset some of over supply. Although it is expected that the over supply will cause a slower bulk market in 2006 than 2005, the slowed market could still be in favorable level comparing to ordinary years in history. China is still one of the big factors that will no doubt affect the dry bulk market. The tanker market fell back from 2004 level in 2005 owing to the global tanker demand decrease mainly driven by high oil price, it was still in favorable level that the WS(MEG/FE) remained beyond 100. The increasing fleet growth may eventually depress the market, but the phase-out of Increasing single hull tankers and the increased ton-mile demand due to oil-producing countries' political unrest “world-wide” the Profitability in Prosperous will cushion the decline in tanker rates.

We of the Company Maximizing Value fully intend to be completely trustworthy, and will maintain the best possible relationship with fully intend to be completely trustworthy, A Message from Group Chairwoman, Hyun Jeong-eun I express my gratitude for the warm support and encouragement of customers and shareholders. This year Hyundai Merchant Marine reaches its 30th anniversary. In 1976, HMM started up in competition with the world’s shipping companies, fueled by a passionate dream, and 3 VLCCs that could not find owners in the aftermath of the oil-crisis of the day. Thanks to the devoted efforts of all staff, HMM developed by leaps and bounds year by year, and finally, became a commercial force capable of competing at the highest levels. HMM is equipped with a vast global business network, the most advanced IT system, and over 100 diverse vessels. HMM is now preparing for another advance with solid assets, and the experience to overcome difficulties. It has expertise, the confidence of clients from all over the world, and the loyal support of shareholders. All staff of Hyundai Group including HMM, will make this year one of change and innovation, and will go all out in competitive terms to raise the company profile despite uncertain business circumstances. Hyundai Group aims to achieve 20 trillion won of sales in 2010. It will establish a cutting edge business structure and a comprehensive business network. It will continue North and South economic cooperation - and will contribute significantly to national prosperity. Its aim is to establish a leading corporate culture and enhance its status. As the core affiliate company of Hyundai Group, HMM will be the vanguard in the drive to accomplish the group’s mid- and long-term vision. Hyun Jeong-eun Hyundai Business Group Chairwoman HYUNDAI MERCHANT MARINE CO., LTD. CEO’s Message 8 9 one of the world’s finest shipping firms. I ask for your continuing interest and encouragement as HMM moves forward to take its place as Advances Preparing Further A Message from President, Noh Jeong-ik Dear Customers, Last year was a meaningful year for HMM as we announced the revitalization of our drive for domestic and foreign success. In the container area, we are preparing to strengthen our competitiveness by ordering diverse types of vessels. We are acquiring large modern vessels and ordering to 9,000TEU class container vessels. We retained our position in the world container market by developing new cooperative relationships with the world’s leading shipping companies. In the bulk division, we deployed 2 VLCCs for 7 years, and stayed Korea’s No.1 LNG carrier with a successful bid for KOGAS business. Dear Valued Customer, The shipping business has been very profitable in recent years. However, from this year, a change of business circumstances may make times tougher factors to be considered are: increasing oil prices, increased vessel capacity through deployment of large-sized vessels, and subsequent increased competition for market leadership. Now is the time to prepare thoroughly for these difficulties. All staff of HMM have made efforts to strengthen the company with the philosophy of preparing for a ‘rainy day’ and seeking to improve earnings by cost cutting. Therefore, we are convinced that we can ride out any problematic business circumstances. We also believe that the uncertain market will be an opportunity which HMM can take advantage of. This 30th year is very meaningful for HMM, which started with 3 VLCCs and went on to lead the Korean economy, and to transport cargos to the world. We don’t ever forget that HMM’s 3 decade history is the result not only of HMM members efforts, but also of customer and shareholder support and encouragement. In future, all of HMM staff will continue to satisfy customers’ needs through constant business innovation. We will improve competitiveness even further, to become the finest, most profitable shipping firm possible. We look for your constant support and encouragement to achieve our declared aim. I wish you and your families a fulfilled and happy year! Noh Jeong-ik Thank you very much. HMM President & CEO HYUNDAI MERCHANT MARINE CO., LTD. Top 5 News Items in 2005 10 11 3.

  • A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities
    logistics Review A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities Dongping Song School of Management, University of Liverpool, Chatham Street, Liverpool L69 7ZH, UK; [email protected] Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the container shipping supply chain (CSSC) by taking a logistics perspective, covering all major value-adding segments in CSSC including freight logistics, container logistics, vessel logistics, port/terminal logistics, and inland transport logistics. The main planning problems and research opportunities in each logistics segment are reviewed and discussed to promote further research. Moreover, the two most important challenges in CSSC, digitalization and decarbonization, are explained and discussed in detail. We raise awareness of the extreme fragmentation of CSSC that causes inefficient operations. A pathway to digitalize container shipping is proposed that requires the applications of digital technologies in various business processes across five logistics segments, and change in behaviors and relationships of stakeholders in the supply chain. We recognize that shipping decarbonization is likely to take diverse pathways with different fuel/energy systems for ships and ports. This gives rise to more research and application opportunities in the highly uncertain and complex CSSC environment. Citation: Song, D.

It combines the view point on one hand of commodity producers, traders, end users and major charterers and on the other hand of vessel owners and operators, attracting major industry participants. The Forum also discusses the interaction between physical and derivatives markets, including commodity derivatives, dry bulk and tanker FFAs, and issues related to the use of derivatives for trading and risk management. Dodd Frank has created far reaching changes in the derivatives industry and we devote part of the conference to examine the updates and changes, what they mean for the industry and how it can cope with them.

    Page 1 Page 2 We proudly welcome you to the “9th Annual Operational Excellence in Shipping Forum – Best Industry Practices – A Competitive Advantage” in Athens, Greece, a major international hub for the global maritime industry. The shipping industry has been in a state of significant change, especially as IMO 2020 approaches. So, this year’s forum addresses the topic of “The Industry at Crossroads - Options, Strategies & Risks Moving Ahead”. We focus on three main topics, all of which are game changers for the industry. The first one is the transformational impact of Technology and Digitalization. The second relates to the developments in fleet management. Additionally, we take special pride presenting a Global Road Map on Port State Controls, a topic of increasing importance on the backdrop of the new environmental regulations. And the third one, to which we devote the biggest part of the Forum refers to the upcoming Environmental Regulations and how these can and will impact the shipping industry from operational, investment and risk/financial viewpoints. Furthermore, the Forum aims to showcase that the consistent application of Best Industry Practices can generate tangible practical benefits that can translate into competitive advantages. The Forum brings together leading shipping companies, major charterers, financiers, insurers, classification societies, and other leading industry participants. It provides an interactive platform on the topic of Best Practices linking industry, government and non-governmental organizations, industry associations, the financial and investment community, and the public at large. We are privileged to present “Capital Link’s 2019 Maritime CSR Leadership Award” to Mr. Anastassios Papagiannopoulos CEO, Common Progress Co, President – BIMCO 2017 – 2019 for his commitment and hard work promoting Best Industry Practices during his long and distinguished career.
