2.2.2

Background

Orkla Finans Kapitalforvaltning AS, in collaboration with Bergshav Management AS, hereby invite investors to invest in Adriatic Chemical KS. The Project involves the acquisition of two modern, IMO II Chemical tankers, which will be fixed on a 6 year Bareboat Charter to Dinamarin, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Croatian company Dioki. Dioki is a chemical production company producing polymers and petrochemicals for both domestic use and export to European markets. Dioki was founded in 1995 and is stock listed on the Zagreb stock exchange with a market value of HRK (Kuna) 505 million (equivalent to approximately NOK 606 million) as of February 3rd 2009. Dioki is one of Croatias largest exporters and exports approximately 80% of their annual production volumes. Dioki, through its subsidiary Dinamarin, will in turn enter into a 4+2-year Contract of Affreightment with the partially state owned Croatian oil company INA. INA will utilise the Vessels in transporting oil and chemical products between its production and storage facilities along the coast of Croatia. INA is owned approximately 44% by the Republic of Croatia and approximately 47% by the Hungarian oil company MOL Rt. A recently announced shareholder agreement between INA and MOL leads to that MOL will consolidate INA into its financial figures going forward, but ownership remains for the time being unchanged. INA is involved in a number of business areas, including international oil and gas exploration and production, oil and gas processing, oil and oil products distribution. INA is stock listed on the Zagreb stock exchange with a market value as of February 3rd of HRK (Kuna) 11,5 Billion (equivalent to approximately NOK 13,8 billion).

2.5 Risks
Investors must be aware that all investments in shipping involve risk and could lead to losses. The value of the Partnership Shares can fluctuate with the supply and demand within the shipping industry, global economic growth, rate levels and exchange levels of NOK versus EUR. Please note that the investors responsibility for Uncalled Capital will be nominated in NOK and fixed in EUR on the future date of payment. Due to Norwegian corporate legislation there is a requirement for a nomination of liability in NOK, which means that the investors liability for Uncalled Capital will be equal to a NOK amount fixed in EUR on the date of future payment. There are no guarantees for future returns or dividend yields. Historical returns are not a reliable indicator of future return. A number of more specific risk factors are described in chapter 3.

3 Risks
3.1 Introduction
Investing in Adriatic Chemical KS is subject to different risk factors. The investor may lose all or part of the investment, including the Uncalled Capital. Investors who neither can nor want to incur such risk should not enter into Adriatic Chemical KS. The value of the investment is influenced by different factors. In particular, the following risk factors should be carefully considered before investing. The list below should not be regarded as exhaustive.

3.2 Legislative environment including taxation


Changes in rules and regulations relating to the individual investors tax position may occur, and such changes may lead to reduced profitability in the Project. Similarly the Project is exposed to changes in environmental and commercial legislation such as new class or other legislative changes which could enforce substantial improvement work, structural work or purchase of new equipment on/for the Vessels. The effect of such changes, or the interpretation of such changes, may impact Adriatic Chemical KS and the expected return negatively.
Adriatic Chemical KS Page 13 of 76

3.3 Interest rate and currency risk


Since a major part of the Project is financed by a bank loan, interest payments are a major expense for Adriatic Chemical KS. Changes in the interest rate level could affect the Project both positively and negatively. It is anticipated that the interest rate exposure will be mitigated by fixing the interest rate for the entire charter period prior to delivery of the Vessels. The purchase price, the loan and the income from the Bareboat charter will be denominated in EUR. The investors capital commitment both paid in and Uncalled Capital is in EUR, while due to the Norwegian corporate legislation there is a mandatory demand to register the companys capital structure denominated in NOK in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The investors are therefore exposed to changes in the exchange level between EUR and NOK. Changes in the exchange level between EUR and NOK can affect the Project both positively and negatively. Investors will have to make their own decision whether or not they want to enter into hedging arrangements for their exposure between NOK and EUR.

3.4 Leverage
Adriatic Chemical KS aim to leverage its purchase of the Vessels with approximately 74 % of the Vessels Project Price. This kind of leveraging can improve the return on equity, but simultaneously implies higher risk for the investors. The total debt to asset ratio will vary with the net asset value of the Vessels. All potential investors are strongly advised not to leverage their equity investment in the Project, since this will imply that the total leverage will exceed justifiable levels. Should investors leverage this investment, it can result in negative return from day one. The loan agreement will contain certain clauses regarding the market value of the Vessels compared to the loan outstanding at any time. If the market value of the Vessels falls dramatically due to circumstances in the shipping market, this could potentially trigger a breach of the minimum value covenant. In such a case, Adriatic Chemical KS may consider calling on Uncalled Capital or make additional repayments on the loan. This could potentially influence the overall return and dividend yield in the project.

3.5 Liquidity
An investment in Adriatic Chemical KS is a long term investment. Even though the Partnership Shares in Adriatic Chemical KS will be transferable, the liquidity may be limited. The Investors must be aware that any transaction will be subject to supply and demand of the relevant Partnership Shares at any given point in time and that no warranties can or will be given with regards to the liquidity of the Partnership Shares, nor the pricing. A transaction of the Partnership Shares requires board approval, and credit approval by the Bank, of potential buyers of the Partnership Shares due to the residual liability. It is a prerequisite that any new investors enter into the Partnership Agreement (Kommanditt-selskapsavtale) for Adriatic Chemical KS with Addendums. It is important to emphasize that Orkla Finans Kapitalforvaltning AS does not act as a market maker, but can be of assistance to facilitate a transaction of shares given that there is a willing buyer and a willing seller.

Adriatic Chemical KS

Page 14 of 76

3.6 Potential conflict of interest


The Arranger is acting as broker on behalf of the sellers of the Vessels and will for this receive a sales commission equivalent to 1,5% of the sales price of the Vessels. This sales commission is payable by the sellers and is included in the sales price of the Vessels of EUR 8,1 million and EUR 8,5 million.

3.7 Market risk


Shipping markets are cyclical and have historically been exposed to major fluctuations in rates and values, mainly driven by changes in world economic growth and changes in the supply of vessels from the construction yards around the world. The growth in industrial production and development of world trade, is together with the newbuilding prices for ships and the balance between supply and demand, some of the most important drivers for shipping rates and values. Historically, these fluctuations have resulted in large variations in both revenues and ship values, latest observed in the recent rise and fall in values of dry-bulk vessels during the last two years. Market risk in shipping cannot be totally eliminated. However, it can to some extent be reduced by entering into long-term contracts based on fixed daily charter rates, with solid counterparts, typically with a tenor of five to ten years. This particular project is based on a six year Bareboat charter, meaning that the Bareboat Charterer pays for all expenses related to the operation of the vessel such as crewing, insurances, maintenance etc. This creates a predictable income stream, which limits operational risk in the project, but does not completely eliminate it, as it is of vital importance that the contracted maintenance of the Vessels is carried out according to plan by the Bareboat Charterer.

3.8 Residual risk


It must be appreciated that forecasting a future value is subject to analysis of historical values and interpretations. Such forward-looking views are subjective and investors should consider this accordingly. The actual values of the Vessels may turn out to be lower than what has been assumed. This could impact the Projects return negatively. Market values are normally affected by factors such as; general shipping activity worldwide, net growth in the supply of vessels, the cost of building new vessels, changes in demand for various types and sizes of vessels, age limitations, changes in charter rates, political changes related to regulatory framework, technological advances and the world economy in general. An assessment of the residual value in this Project is described more thoroughly in clause 8.2.6 in this Information Memorandum.

3.9 Bareboat Charterers performance


The project assumes that the Bareboat Charterer will pay the Bareboat Charter hire as agreed according to the Bareboat Charter. Should the Bareboat Charterer fail to pay the hire as agreed then this could have a negative impact on the Project and the expected return. The Bareboat Charter is of Hell and High Water content with the Bareboat Charterer being responsible for all expenses, including but not limited to maintenance, operational expenses, insurances, licensing, registration and taxes relating to the possession and use of the Vessels. The Bareboat Charters will be based on the standard format Barecon 2001.

Adriatic Chemical KS

Page 15 of 76

The Bareboat Charterer will pledge their shares in Adriatic Chemical KS as security for its commitments, including any payment default, under the Bareboat Charter.

3.10

Environmental risk

The shipping industry represents a major threat to the environment as a consequence of polluting potential. The responsibility for an owner of a vessel must be regarded as a potential risk in accordance with the international recognized principle polluter pays. A worst case scenario would be an environmental disaster like Exxon Valdez and Erica incidents in 1989 and 1999. The polluter pays principle implies that the Company as an owner could be responsible for any pollution caused by the Vessels. It is the Company and the General Partner (which is a limited company) that is responsible for any potential claims as a consequence of a pollution incident, under norwegian law. The Company will be insured against pollution liability on normal market terms. As long as the Vessels do no operate in US waters, the liability of the Limited Partners will be limited to their contributed capital and their committed, but unpaid capital, both of which are regulated in the Partnership Agreement.

4 The Investment
4.1 The Vessels
The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire two, modern, IMO II chemical tankers, built 2004 and 2006, for a total project cost of EUR 18,02 million. The Vessels are standard IMO II chemical tankers, i.e. they are equipped to carry petrochemical products, petroleum distillates and easy chemicals. The Vessels have 10 separate cargo tanks with 10/11 segregations, meaning a number of different products can potentially be carried during the same journey. The Vessels were built at Yilmaz Gemi Shipyard and Yildrim Shipyard in Turkey. The names of the Vessels will be changed after delivery.

4.2 Vessel registration, condition, upgrades and flag


The Vessels have been inspected by the Bareboat Charterer and found to be in acceptable condition. In addition, the Croatian Ship Registry and INA has approved the Vessels. However, the inspection revealed need for certain immediate upgrades, which will be carried out by the Bareboat Charterer immediately after delivery and bring the Vessels back to good condition, as defined by the requirements under the classing society, Det norske Veritas. The Bareboat Charterer has estimated the total cost of such upgrades to be in the region of EUR 350-400,000 per Vessel. All costs related to such upgrades and additional purchase of spare parts will be borne and executed by the Bareboat Charterer and will not be the responsibility of Adriatic Chemical KS. It is important to note that the Vessels are on-hire 365 days per year, even if they are undergoing repair work in a yard.

Adriatic Chemical KS

Page 17 of 76

Following such upgrades, the Vessels will be subject to a survey by an internationally recognised surveyor, in order to confirm that the Vessels have been upgraded according to plan after delivery. The Bareboat Charterer is responsible that such upgrades are done according to the agreement. Adriatic Chemical KS will in addition perform regular inspections of the Vessels in order to check that regular maintenance is performed according to the agreement. The Vessels will be registered in the Croatian ship registry, fly the Croatian flag and be classed by Det norske Veritas. Ships that fly the Croatian flag follow international rules and regulations and are subject to the International Arrest Convention of 1952. According to the Croatian Constitution, ratified international conventions are an integral part of domestic legislation with higher power than domestic laws.

4.3 Delivery/ Time schedule


The Vessels are planned for delivery from the sellers in March 2009 in accordance with the BareBoat Charter and the INA contract.

5 The Bareboat Charterer Dinamarin


Upon delivery the Vessels will be employed on a hell and high water Bareboat Charter to the Dioki group, where the company Dinamarin will be the counterpart in the Bareboat Charters. Dinamarin is a newly formed subsidiary in the Dioki group, where all marine activites will be concentrated going forwards. All commitments of Dinamarin related to the Bareboat Charters are fully guaranteed by Dioki. Dioki is a Croatian chemical production company producing polymers and petrochemicals for both domestic use and export to European markets. Dioki was founded in 1995 and is stock listed in Zagreb with a market value of HRK (Kuna) 505 million (equivalent to approx. NOK 606 million) as of February 3rd 2009.

Adria Oil s.p.a. The company originally was founded by INA in 1969 as an Italian company based in Milan engaged in the trading of petrochemical raw materials and products. IN 2005, the company came under full ownership and control by Dioki. Diokiplastica d.o.o. Located in Zagreb, the company performs trading and technological support in polymers. The company also trade polymer products, for example polyethylene films. Dinamarin d.o.o. A newly formed entity where Dioki will concentrate its marine activities and over time build up its own crewing and technical management services. Dinamarin will be the counterpart in the Bareboat charter party, however Dioki will be the ultimate guarantor under the Bareboat Charter and guarantee all commitments of Dinamarin. As this is a newly established company, no financial history is yet available.

5.2 History
Dioki was founded on 17 July 1995 as a merger between INA-OKI d.d. of Zagreb, DINA d.d. of Omialj and INA-Naftaplin's Ethylene Production Unit of Zagreb. OKI - Organic Petrochemical Company was founded in 1959, and it was the first producer of petrochemicals and plastics in the country. DINA was established as a joint-venture of INA and the Dow Chemical Company to be acquired by INA in the 1980s. INA-Naftaplin's Ethylene Production Unit was founded in 1982. Until the end of 1996 the Company had been a member of the INA-Group; then INA transferred it to the State Agency for Deposit Insurance and Bank Rehabilitation (DAB). In the process of voucher privatization in 1998, a 51% stake in the company was transferred to privatization and investment funds (PIFs). Since 29 November 1999 , the company has been operating under the name Dioki. On 1 February 2003, the state owned company separated its operations on Krk Island to establish two companies, i.e. Adria procesna industrija dioniko drutvo (API) and Kijac nekretnine d.d. (Kijac). In October 2004 API was privatized and publicly listed, and DIOKI Holding AG, headquartered in Switzerland, became the majority owner. In the privatization process Dioki acquired Kemikalije d.o.o. and thus the Zagreb site was fully integrated - from tank farm areas to final products. Dioki has been listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange, Croatia since 2004.

5.3 Business model


The company's basic activity is the production of polymers and petrochemicals. Polymers are typically used in production of plastics, thin film, household products etc. Dioki currently produces the following products : Low density polyethylene (LDPE OKITEN and LDPE DINALEN) a thermoplastic made from oil. Main usage areas are manufacturing of various containers, dispensing bottles, wash bottles, tubing, plastic bags for computer components, and various moulded laboratory equipment. Its most common use is in plastic bags. General purpose polystyrene (GPPS DOKI POLISTIREN) and High impact polystyrene (HIPS DOKI POLISTIREN) is widely used in packaging materials, padding materials, building and insulation blocks, ceilings and polystyrene sheets.

Adriatic Chemical KS

Page 20 of 76

Expandable polystyrene (EPS OKIROL-E) is produced as a foam and widely used in the building industry as insulation material, such as in structural insulated panel building systems and non-weight bearing architectural structures. Ethylene - Approximately 80% of ethylene used in the United States and Europe is used to create ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride, and polyethylene. In smaller quantities, ethylene is used as an anaesthetic agent (in an 85% ethylene/15% oxygen ratio), to hasten fruit ripening, as well as a welding gas. Ethylene oxide is a key raw material in the production of surfactants and detergents. It is also used to manufacture ethylene glycols, which are in turn used in packaging and textiles, and to make glycol ether solvents. The primary use of polyethylene is in film applications for packaging, carrier bags and trash liners. Other applications include injection moulding, pipe extrusion, wire and cable sheathing and insulation, as well as extrusion coating of paper and cardboard. Styrene monomer is used principally in polystyrene for packaging and insulation, as well as in styrene butadiene rubber for tires and footwear.

5.4 Production Capacities


Dioki's annual production capacities are 278 300 tonnes through its production facilities in Zagreb and Omisalj, Croatia. The company has the following production capacities, by product: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE OKITEN): Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE DINALEN): General purpose polystyrene : Polystyrene colour concentrates: Expandable polystyrene (EPS OKIROL -E): Ethylene: 50 000 tonnes 70 000 tonnes 50 000 tonnes 3 300 tonnes 15 000 tonnes 90 000 tonnes

5.5 Export
Dioki is one of the largest exporters in Croatia; at present, the company exports 80% of its production volume. A long export tradition and the fact that Diokis products are readily marketable on the European markets prove their quality and competitiveness

7 The Commercial Manager


Bergshav Management AS will be the Commercial Manager for the project and responsible for monitoring the Vessels under the Bareboat Charter, including checking that maintenance is performed under the contract and being responsible for technical inspections of the Vessels. Bergshav Tankers AS, an affiliate of the Commercial Manager, will invest 20% in Adriatic Chemical KS, whereof 10% through the General Partner and 10% as a limited partner. Bergshav Management AS is an integrated shipping company with its total resources dedicated to chartering and operation, technical management, project work and finance. Long-term closeness and devotion to shipping will ensure stability and thereby reduce risk to the Vessels' owners. Such return
Adriatic Chemical KS Page 24 of 76

is secured by the highest level of human competence and expertise in all areas of operation. Bergshav Management's Headquarters is in Grimstad, Norway. The Bergshav family's involvement in shipping dates back to 1772 when the sailing ship "Fortuna" was acquired. In modern times, Mr. J.M. Ugland, grandfather of the present Bergshav owner, established himself in 1930 as a shipowner through the acquisition of a steam tanker from Anglo Saxon Petroleum Co. By such acquisition, AS Uglands Rederi was founded. Throughout the next 60 years, the company prospered considerably and by the end of the 1980's owned a sizeable fleet of car carriers, tankers, bulk carriers, specialized offshore loading vessels as well as a repair yard. In 1989, Bergshav Management AS was formed through a de-merger of AS Uglands Rederi. Along with the changes in international shipping, the fleet has varied considerably both in number and in tonnes deadweight and has ranged from small product tankers to VLCC size. In 1991 the Company expanded its activities by offering management services to external shipping companies. The first venture was taking over the management functions for 15 vessels (VLCC, Suezmax, and handysize dry bulk vessels) from the Oslo-based company Norman International A/S. Furthermore, in 1992 Bergshav took over the Nortank Carrier pool, a chartering and operating pool of handysize product tankers. Members of the pool included I.M. Skaugen and Mitsui & Co. Bergshav Management was also entrusted with the technical management of some of the vessels. At present the fleet under management includes 30 vessels in total, including crude oil carriers, shuttle tankers, product/chemical vessels, container vessels, car carriers, offshore construction and supply vessels. Today's Bergshav Management resides close to the site where the family has been conducting their shipping activities for generations. The management team of the company has been recruited and developed along with the fleet and activities. However, the long-term aspect has been maintained as some employees have experience within the group for more than 30 years. The total experience enables Bergshav to undertake projects and pursue business opportunities in most fields of maritime operation. The qualified and experienced management combined with a sound financial basis allows the company to develop business opportunities in a professional and reliable way. They are in a position to offer the expertise and experience of a large organization in combination with the personal follow-up and flexibility, which are the features of a smaller company.

8 Structure and financing


8.1 Corporate Structure
The shipowning company will be structured as a Norwegian limited partnership ("Kommandittselskap" or "KS") in accordance with the Norwegian Companies' Act ("Selskapsloven"). The KS will consist of one general partner ("Komplementar") and several limited partners ("Kommandittister"). A KS is a separate legal entity able to own assets and to be sued in its own name. The Vessels will be owned by the KS and registered in its name. The KS will be managed by a Board of Directors. The general partner has unlimited liability for all obligations of the KS. The general partner in this
Adriatic Chemical KS Page 25 of 76

project will be a limited liability company, Adriatic Chemical AS (owned 100% by Bergshav Tankers AS). The liability of the Limited Partners will be limited to their contributed capital and their committed but unpaid capital, both of which are regulated in the Partnership Agreement. There are statutory requirements for minimum paid in capital in a KS, and regulations for distribution of dividends and other payments to the partners. The identities of the General Partner and the Limited Partners, and the amounts of the KSs contributed and committed capital, will all be registered and publicly available in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. A copy of the draft Partnership Agreement (KS avtalen) follows in the Appendix.

EUR 2,805,000 for Vedrey Ydrehall Minimum cash of EUR 100,000 per vessel Minimum Value Clause: The charter free value of the Vessels to remain above 110% of the loan (net of any cash) during the first year, 125% at all times thereafter. The Fair Market Value to be established by two reputable shipbrokers appointed by the agent in cooperation with the Borrower.

Financial Covenants:

The loan agreement will contain certain clauses regarding the market value of the Vessels compared to the loan outstanding at any time. If the market value of the Vessels falls dramatically due to circumstances in the shipping market, this could potentially trigger a breach of the minimum value covenant. In such a case, Adriatic Chemical KS may consider calling on Uncalled Capital or make additional repayments on the loan. This could potentially influence the overall return in the project. In the graph below, we have shown the forecasted development of the market value of the Vessel Brvig Mistral, using the acquisition price and depreciating that over a 20 year-maximum life, plus working capital, and comparing this to the repayment schedule of the loan and the minimum value clause in the loan agreement (being 110% of the loan in year 1, 125% thereafter. As the graph below shows, there is a buffer between the anticipated value of the vessel and the outstanding loan balance. In year 1, the market value of the vessel can fall EUR 1,75 million to EUR 6,3 million, or 22%, before coming into conflict with the Minimum Value Clause. As a comparison, the former owners of Brvig Mistral reportedly bought the vessel for EUR 11,0 Million in 2007. Note that the numbers below does not take into account any accumulated cash flow.

Cash flow calculations for both Vessels are attached in the Appendix. The Arranger strongly emphasizes that historical return and estimation of future return is no guarantee for that such return will materialize. These kind of estimates and forecasts can not be considered as reliable indicators of actual future return. The estimates in the cash flow prognosis relies on the due and punctual performance of the Bareboat Charterer.

8.2.7

Dividend capacity

In a base case scenario the investment in the Project is expected to generate strong dividend capacity throughout the life of the project with an annual dividend capacity ranging from 15-22% calculated on paid in equity for the Brvig Mistral, excluding the 6th year of the Bareboat charter, when the vessel is assumed to be sold for the assumed residual value. Dividend capacity in year 6, after sale of the vessel and repayment of the outstanding bank loan, is estimated at 139%, as shown in the graph

Purchase options

The Bareboat Charterer has negotiated underlying purchase options that can be exercised at the earliest on the fourth anniversary of the commencement of the Bareboat charter. The pre-agreed levels of the purchase options are similar to the Bareboat rates, subject to minor changes when fixing the interest rates swap related to the bank financing. The agreement with the Bareboat Charterer is that the Purchase Options shall generate an target IRR of 20% based on the assumptions made section 8.2.6. Vessel

Profit Split In addition to the above, there is a pre-agreed profit split, should the Bareboat Charterer exercise the purchase options. Upon the time of exercise, the market value of the Vessel(s) will be established by three reputable shipbrokers. If the value of the vessel in question is higher than the pre-agreed purchase option, there is a 50/50 profit split on the amount exceeding the purchase option. In such a situation, the return for investors is likely to be higher than in the projections under point 8.2.6. Investors should note that any documented cost for upgrading of the Vessels will be deducted from the market value before the profit split. Upon the exercise of a purchase option, Adriatic Chemical KS may need to cancel the interest rate swap related to the bank financing. The Bareboat Charter contains clauses where such breakage cost will be covered by the Bareboat Charterer.

8.2.9

Residual value sensitivity

The IRR in a shipping project is generated from two factors; Running cash flows paid under the contracted employment and an assumed sale of the vessel at the end of the contract. The overall return in a project is sensitive to fluctuations in the residual value assumption, and this will vary from project to project, depending on the level of the Bareboat rate. In the graph below we show the sensitivity on the residual value versus the expected IRR for the project for the Vessel Brvig Mistral. This IRR sensitivity is based on the assumptions made in section 8.2.6, but assuming that the purchase options are exercised after year 6.

Vessel value EUR Million

As the graph above shows, the project is estimated to break even if the Vessels residual value falls as low as EUR 1,1 million at the end of year six. The arrows show the base case assumption, where the vessel is assumed sold for EUR 4,1 million at the end of year six. In addition to the above, there is a 50/50 profit split on the market value of the Vessels at the time of exercising the purchase options. Such market value will be determined by three independent shipbrokers at the time of declaration of the purchase options. Any amount above the purchase option level will be split 50/50 between the Bareboat Charterer and Adriatic Chemical KS. Investors should note that documented cost for upgrading the Vessels which will be born by the Bareboat Charterer, will be deducted before calculating such profit split. The graph above assumes any excess value is split 50/50. For the vessel Vedrey Ydrehall, the numbers are similar, showing a cash break-even with a residual value of EUR 1,3 million at the end of year 6. The base case assumes a residual value of EUR 4,9 million at the end of year 6.

8.2.10 Currency
The project is denominated in EUR, hence all income in the project are in EUR. The bank financing is in EURO, i.e. interest payments and amortisation is payable in EUR. All expenses in connection with the establishment of the Company are aimed to be denominated in Euro, with the exception of legal fees etc. payable to Norwegian lawyers. Both paid in and Uncalled Capital commitment is in EUR, while due to the Norwegian corporate legislation there is a mandatory demand to register the companys capital structure denominated in NOK in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The actual EUR amount that the investors are liable to pay will be fixed based on the exchange rate between NOK and EUR on the actual day of payment. This will be the case even in a future scenario where the investors are asked to pay in all or part of the Uncalled Capital. The investors are therefore exposed to changes in the exchange level between EUR and NOK. Investors will have to make their own decision whether or not they want to enter into hedging arrangements for their exposure between NOK and EUR. The Company will not enter into any hedging arrangements related to currency. Each investor will hence have to make their own decision relating to NOK/EUR derived exposure in this project.

1.0 WORLD ECONOMY The world economy is slowing down. Starting as credit crisis in the United States, banks and financial institutions have stopped functioning adequately, pulling down the real economy. The US, Europe and Japan are all in a recession. Even high-growth countries such as China and India are decelerating. At worst, world growth will turn negative in 2009, being the worst year in the post-war era. However, a potent combination of fiscal stimulus and monetary easing will be a much-needed boost to revive the world economy and contribute to a sustained recovery from 2010 onwards. The International Monetary Fund, in an update released on January 28th 2009, forecasts that world growth will be percent in 2009 when measured in terms of purchasing power parity. The US is expected to record growth of -1.6 percent, severely impacted by lower consumer spending and business investment. Europe will also be in negative territory, suffering particularly from weakened export sales, with the Euro area anticipated to be -2.0 percent. Japan will fare no better, probably reporting -2.6 percent on dramatically lower sales to overseas markets. China and India, the previous star performers, are still doing comparably well but may have to witness growth being weakened to 6.7 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively. The table below depicts growth forecasts by the IMF to 2010 and an extended projection by Maritime Strategies International/ Oxford Economics to 2012: Illustration 1: Outlook World Economic Growth 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 US 2.9 2.0 1.1 -1.6 1.6 W.Eur 12.9 2.8 1.1 -2.0 0.2 FSU 7.0 8.2 6.2 1.0 3.0 Mid East 5.2 6.4 6.1 3.9 4.7 Japan 2.4 2.4 -0.3 -2.6 0.6 China 11.1 13.0 9.0 6.7 8.0 India 6.3 6.4 4.5 3.8 5.3 World 3.9 5.2 3.4 0.5 3.0 Source: IMF, Maritime Strategies International/ Oxford Economics

Confronting the recession, many governments have acted swiftly to prepare substantial fiscal packages. In the US, the Congress is voting on a stimulus package in the order of USD 900 bn which will include both government spending and tax breaks. In Europe, stimulus packages have also been agreed in the UK and on the Continent, and in Asia governments in Japan and China have taken the lead in agreeing on monumental stimulus packages. The Chinese package, for example, is reportedly close to USD 600 bn, designed to be spent over a two-year period. In total, fiscal stimulus in G-20 countries in 2009 is projected to be 1.5 percent of GDP. In addition, central banks in advanced economies have acted to ease monetary policy by cutting interest rates and improve credit provisions. Policy interest rates have been brought down substantially in recent months, especially as inflation pressures subsided, although falling inflation expectations are mitigating the impact on real interest rates. Central banks in emerging economies are also moving to ease their policy stance and improve market liquidity. A well-functioning financial market is a prerequisite for a sustained economic recovery. Already, there are indications that the confidence in the financial system is returning. The so-called TED-spread measures the difference between the rate for Treasury Bills and the rate for Eurodollar Bills. The resulting price discrepancy is an indicator of credit risk. An increasing TED spread is thought to indicate increasing risk, which a decreasing TED-spread is thought to indicate decreasing risk.

Most probably, the world economy will rebound in 2010 to 3.0 percent growth and continuing in 2011 with 3.7 percent growth. With confidence restored in the financial markets, the US will be the first economy to fight off recession and begin a new expansionary business cycle. With a few months lag, Europe will probably follow suit, improving exports. Similarly, Japan will ramp up production and expand overseas sales to the US and Europe as well as to intra-Asian markets. China and India will also stand to benefit from this upturn, increasing trade and industrial production. While heavily export-oriented, China is also aiming to increase domestic consumer spending, which could, if successful, prop up growth additionally in the coming up-cycle. Longer-term growth will be heavily-reliant on emerging economies in Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America. In particular, China and India will play a crucial role in world growth. China is currently the third largest economy in the world following the US and Japan. With a 1.3 bn strong population, a rapidly more affluent middle class and a relentless urbanization, consumer demand will be an exponential factor. Over the next ten years, 100 cities in China are planned to inhabit more than 3 million people, attracting consumers with requirements for food, housing, electricity, work and transportation. The same development holds true for Indias 1.1 bn population, though the pace in India is slower than that of China. The economic reawakening of these countries, and the aspirations of billions of people world-wide, will not be dismissed so easily. 2.0 OIL DEMAND AND SUPPLY 2.1. OIL DEMAND The global demand for oil is abating. Annual oil demand growth was negative for the first time in decades last year, contracting by 0.1 mbpd. This year, oil demand growth is expected to continue on a downward trend sliding by an additional 0.6 mbpd, ending at 85.4 mbpd. However, there are large differences in regional oil demand. The largest demand destruction is occurring in developed economies like the US, Europe, Japan and South Korea. At the same time, demand is believed to increase in emerging economies, most notably in China, India, the Middle East and South American countries. US oil demand started to decrease in January 2008 and has weakened ever since. In fact, the US oil demand is on a trajectory of declining by 1.5 mbpd from 2007 to 2010. Given todays outlook, US oil demand will probably continue to slide until the economy improves in the course of 2010. European oil demand started falling a few years ago; 2008 demand was unchanged from 2007 levels. Asian economies like Japan and South Korea are experiencing massive demand destruction with reduced oil imports and refinery production as results. However, emerging economies ensure that Asia will be the region with the smallest demand contraction and the best future prospects regarding
Page 39 of 76

oil demand. China is currently subsidizing small cars for their citizens, a move that will secure a certain oil demand growth. Besides, population and welfare growth is significant in the emerging countries, being a driver for oil demand growth. Illustration 3: Projected World Oil Demand

Source: KBC Market Services The current demand contraction is believed to be temporary. Oil demand is related to the world economy. As soon as the world gets back on track, oil demand is expected to rebound. World economic growth is expected to regain its strength in 2010, propping up oil demand within 12 months. However, US and European demand is not likely to reach levels of 2006 and 2007 in many years to come. Factors like fuel efficiency, environmental awareness, stumbling manufacturers of large gas guzzlers and a negative European population growth will make future demand growth weaker than prior to 2007. Even though the current situation is depressed, oil demand will continue to grow. As stated above, future oil demand growth will be largest in Asia, with China and India taking the lions share of the increase. However, Middle East and South American countries also will contribute additionally to further oil demand growth. 2.2. OIL SUPPLY The influence of OPEC countries on oil supply will increase in the future. Non-OPEC oil production is growing at a slower rate than just a few years ago and will probably peak within few years if additional investments do not keep coming. With the current oil price at around USD 50/bbl, many new projects are uneconomical and hence are being delayed or cancelled, leading to an accelerated depletion rate. The most rapid declines in oil output are occurring in the North Sea and in the Mexican part of the Gulf of Mexico. In these regions, output is reduced by 10 percent per annum, certainly constraining regional oil supply. The most promising non-OPEC sources of oil are situated in Canada and tar sands will be very important for future oil supply. However, the production of oil from tar sands is expensive with a marginal cost of around 80 USD/bbl. These fields are not only capital-intensive, they are also time intensive and it takes from 12 to 18 months in order to prepare a field for production. The most important part of the preparation is heating; fields under development will therefore not be stopped. However, new projects are delayed due to the weak oil prices, meaning that future supply will be hurt.

Russian production is peaking and will deplete pending lack of investment. Considering the lack of transparency and predictability in the current Russian investment climate, it is not likely that foreign capital will boost Russian production the coming years. While non-OPEC production will increase at a slow rate over the next decade, OPEC production is believed to increase at a much higher rate. Considering todays demand levels, OPEC will produce far from their actual capacity; OPEC spare capacity will reach 5 mbpd in a few years. The non-OPEC depletion scenario is highly important for the tanker industry and an important driver for dwt demand. The worlds largest oil consumer, the US, depends to a large degree on oil supplies from the Atlantic Basin. As these supplies are depleting, supplies must be taken from somewhere else, which in reality implies OPEC countries in the MEG and their large production reserves. The long distance from the MEG to the US creates an increased dwt demand.

Source: L&S 3.0 DEMAND FOR MR PRODUCT TANKERS 3.1. DEMAND FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS Demand for petroleum products, decreasing in 2008, will continue to fall in 2009 before rebounding in 2010, driven by emerging economies around the world, but most notably in Asia. There are great differences in demand. We divide the world in three main areas: North America, Europe and Asia. Not only do these areas consume the most of the worlds petroleum products, they are also host to the majority of the worlds refinery capacity and they are located far from each other, hence demand and supply differences between these areas are crucial to understanding the product tanker trades.

Source: KBC Market Services As discussed in Chapter 2.1., US and European oil demand is contracting. The graphs clearly show that the greatest slump will be experienced in the US where demand will be 1.5 mbpd less in 2010 than it was at the end of 2007. As for Europe, oil demand started contracting already in 2007 and will contract through 2010. However, in terms of product mix, the US and Europe form two opposites: The US demand is largely composed of gasoline, whereas European demand is dieselized. As a result of these two extremes, product surpluses and deficits emerge in the two markets and products need to be imported and exported. The US is shipping surplus diesel to Europe, while Europe has a surplus of gasoline that is shipped to the US. US and European markets are increasingly subject to restrictions on contamination in fuels. In the US, summer-spec gasoline boosts demand for blend-stock, most notably ethanol and alkylate. Going forward, the US will rely more heavily on ethanol. Ethanol is being supplied domestically, but also from Latin America, supporting IMO tonnage demand from the region. As for Europe, starting January 1st 2009, all transportation fuels must satisfy increasingly tight sulphur restrictions of 10 ppm. Since Europeans are unable to support themselves with ultra-clean products, this needs to be imported material. In Asia, petroleum products demand will grow slightly in 2009 and then expected to accelerate thereafter. Compared with US and European markets, Asia has a large interest for naphtha that is used as feedstock in the petrochemical industry. Except for fuel oil, demand for all products appears to be growing over the next years. There are numerous drivers for Asian demand growth in addition to the petrochemical industry. First, and very important, a rapidly growing middle class in China and India consumes an increasing amount of petroleum products. Today, the middle class in these two countries consist of 500 million people and this number is increasing rapidly. Among other effects, this is leading to soaring car sales despite the economic downturn. In January 2009, 790 000 new cars were sold in China, for the first time outperforming US sales. The potential is enormous: In India there are 7 cars per 1000 capita, the Chinese equivalent is 44. For comparison, there are 750 cars per 1000 capita in the US. Some of the drivers for petroleum products are of course important factors for product tanker demand as well. However, adding to the complexity, trades result from different demand mixes in different regions, localization of refineries and price differences. In the case of a country producing less of a product than is consumed a deficit emerges which needs to be filled by imports. Furthermore, arbitrage opportunities arise when a product is being produced at a discount in one region relative to another. Price differences are believed to increase in the future as several new refineries are starting production and an over-capacity will be established. Hence, if a region manages to offer cheap products that are economically favorable including transportation costs, the products will probably be imported. That is happening on a large scale today, most notably in the Pacific and in the Atlantic basins, and it is substantially affecting product tanker demand. 3.2. GLOBAL REFINERY CAPACITY After several years of weak growth in the global refinery capacity, huge additions will be made over the next years. Total refinery capacity grew by 0.9 percent in 2007 and by 1.5 percent in 2008. Expected growth rates in 2009 and 2010 are 3.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Combined, these correspond to a growth in refinery capacity of nearly 5 mbpd in 2009 and 2010.

Source: KBC Market Services The majority of these additions will come in Asia and in the Middle East, while refinery upgrades will increase North American refinery capacity. A prime example of a new refinery is Reliances new plant at Jamnagar, India. Reliance Jamnagar is starting up in April 2009 and is designed for a nameplate capacity of 580 000 bbls/day; all intended for exports. The Reliance refinery is a highly complex plant with the ability to process cheap and heavy crude to ultra-clean products that are highly demanded in the west. However, depressed US gasoline demand makes Reliance search for other consumers for their gasoline as the US was originally targeted as the recipient of the Indian gasoline. The Reliance gasoline is therefore expected to enter the Asian markets. However, the situation is different for the middle distillates coming out of Reliance. Much of this is expected to enter European markets through terminals in the Mediterranean as Europe has a recession-proof distillate deficit of 500k bpd. Much of Reliances 250k bpd distillate is therefore expected to go west and enter European markets. Reliance will also produce 50-70k bpd of alkylate, a highly valued gasoline blend-stock in the US. The Reliance refinery is a prime example of changing trade patterns; huge refinery additions will open up new trades and make others fade away. Several so-called tea-pot refineries in China are most likely to be hurt by the competition with larger plants enjoying superior efficiency and economy of scale. Hence, more products need to be imported and the sources are expected to be the new mega-plants popping up across Asia. Besides, products will have to be transported longer distances, an obvious driver for MR demand. Illustration 7: Asia and the Middle East attracting more refinery capacity

Source: KBC Market Services The huge additions to refinery capacity are changing the international refining industry. The industry will be subject to softer capacity utilization. This will have several consequences. First of all, markets that are under-supplied with specific products will have different options for sourcing. We expect a dislocalization scenario where the production plants are located farther from end markets. Moreover, the refining industry will have more competition and prices will be affected. The refinery that offers the cheapest products will gain market shares. We therefore believe in increased arbitrage trades in the future. Illustration 8: Trade flows

Illustration 8 shows the relationship between demand and production capacity in several regions world-wide, resulting in the theoretical deficit in each region. North America has been dependent on supplies from abroad in order to meet demand, but with decreasing gasoline demand and increasing production capacity, the balance will soften. Also interesting, demand growth and refinery additions in Asia will decrease Asian dependence on imports, hence intraAsian trades will grow, supporting demand for specific tonnage, most notably MRs. It is also worth noting that despite huge additions in the Middle East Gulf, the demand /capacity ratio will increase in the future.

3.3. DEMAND FOR PRODUCT TANKERS The discussion on regional petroleum product surplus and deficits leads us to our projection of tanker trades and demand. As stated earlier, the demand mix in a region does not always match the production mix. This creates trade flows that again generate dwt demand. Some large trades have always been present, while other trades arise and some fade away. The Atlantic triangulated trade of gasoline and gasoil is a prime example of the former, while new trades caused by the Reliance refinery is an example of the latter. We will in this chapter outline new trades that product tankers can benefit from. New trades are mainly triggered by changes in the set of possible suppliers and may therefore be considered

questions of sourcing. However, especially evident in Asia, demand for petroleum products must be taken into account. Based on demand and supply figures, utilization rates, historical trade patterns and forecasts of these, we have calculated demand for product tankers through 2014. We will comment briefly on the trade flows in and out of the main regions in the world. North America North America, the worlds greatest oil consumer, have for a long time been supplied with gasoline by Latin America, Europe and the FSU. We believe that these established trades will continue into the future, but we expect a decrease in imports from the FSU. The US has for a long time imported gasoline from Romanian refineries. However, as Reliance Jamnagar and other modern refineries, most notably in the Middle East Gulf, come on-stream, FSU imports will be replaced by products from the mentioned sources. This is mainly caused by increased restrictions regarding sulphur content in the gasoline used in North America, but can also be seen as a result of increased domestic demand in Eastern Europe and the FSU. It is also worth noting that despite increased North American refining capacity and decreased demand, we expect dwt demand to increase in the future, growth being generated by the increasing product tanker distances. North American exports have three main destinations: Asia (Japan, South Korea, China/Taiwan), Europe, but most importantly Latin America. All these trades are believed to increase in importance in the future. Diesel and middle distillates are being shipped to Europe, naphtha and fuel oil to Asia and gasoline to the increasingly gasoline-thirsty Latin America. Illustration 9: North American dwt demand

Europe Europe is becoming increasingly dependent on Russian exports. The growth is first of all attributed to European dieselization; Europe is consuming an increasing amount of diesel at the cost of gasoline and therefore looks to Russia for additional supplies. At the same time, Europe is requiring a massive amount of dwt as a result of intra-regional trades. However, European intra-regional trades are mainly employing smaller vessels, sub 20k dwt. Much gasoline is being exported to North America, but refiners have to sell gasoline at a discount in order to make it possible to profit on shipping gasoline across the Atlantic. Refiners are therefore creating an arbitrage window in the Atlantic. The reason for doing so is to satisfy domestic gasoil demand and to be less reliant on imports.

Asia Asia, the region where we expect the largest growth in dwt demand, is mainly supplied by the Middle East Gulf. However, as discussed earlier, intra-Asian trade is massive and is likely to increase in the future due to increased Asian production capacity as well as a large demand growth. Asian products seem to be intended for Asian markets; exports out of Asia are expected to stay stable at todays levels. Illustration 11: Asian dwt demand

4.0 DEMAND FOR CHEMICAL TANKERS 4.1. OVERVIEW OF THE CHEMICAL TANKER MARKET The spectrum of cargoes carried by chemical tankers is composed of: Organic chemicals Vegetable oils Inorganic chemicals Other cargoes such as molasses.

The trade of chemicals and vegetable oils has grown briskly during the last ten years, mainly backed by unprecedented economic growth in Asia. The growth in the chemical trades is closely linked to industrial production, consumer spending and fixed asset investments, factors that have grown the most in emerging markets.

4.2. ORGANIC CHEMICALS The organic chemical industry is currently being impacted by the economic downturn. Manufacturers like Dow, BASF, DuPont and others are shutting down capacity all over world, delaying cracker additions and cancelling mergers them between. However, there are large regional differences. The American and European chemical industry is currently in a down-cycle that is predicted to last through 2010, at least. In Asia, the situation is dramatically different. Even though 15 percent of the total chemical capacity is currently shut in, crackers are currently increasing production and the industry is expected to be back in full operation towards the end of 2009. In other words,
Adriatic Chemical KS Page 46 of 76

Western chemical markets are mature and saturated with a weak growth outlook. The growth potential lies in Asia with increasing demand and a growing production capacity. Illustration 12: Organic chemical production capacity

Africa

Of course, reduced chemical output will hurt trade, especially in the Atlantic Basin. Overall, global trade growth of organic chemicals is expected to be weak in 2009, but the growth in Western trade will be far weaker than in the East. However, dwt demand growth is likely to remain stable or actually slightly increasing as a result of cracker dis-localization; Chemical capacity is growing briskly in the East and crackers are situated far from their end-markets. The distances traveled will therefore employ tonnage. The dwt demand driven by organic chemicals is expected to regain strength in 2010 and organic trade is expected to increase every year from then on. The largest importers of organic chemicals are Asian countries. The Asian markets are supplied by intraAsian trades as well as supplies from the Middle East Gulf. The US and Europe are also importing chemicals, but as already mentioned; growth in these markets is expected to be negative this year. Illustration 13: Organic chemical trades

4.3. VEGETABLE OILS Vegoils are mainly being exported out of Latin America and Asia. These regions are intensely increasing their production capacity, laying the ground for future trade growth. The largest importers of vegetable oils are the Asian countries, as vegetable oils have come increasingly in demand because of population growth and personal wealth. Thus, as both exports and imports of Asian countries are growing, intra-Asian trades are believed to increase in both magnitude and importance as they will employ an increasing number of vessels able to carry vegoils in the future. Europe is another strong importer of vegoils, mainly due to the inclusion of vegoils in biofuels. Interest for biofuels is expected to increase in the future, positively affecting vegoil imports.

The vegetable oil trade is expected to grow every year in the foreseeable future, even though 2009 will have a slower growth rate than in 2010 and the years thereafter. Asian and European trades are expected to increase; other trades will probably remain at todays levels. Illustration 16: Vegoil trades

Combined, chemical tankers will be experiencing demand growth in 2009, despite poor economic conditions. Trade growth in organic and inorganic chemicals is not expected in 2009, overall trade growth will be secured by vegoil trades. After 2009, inorganic and organic chemicals demand is expected to rebound, adding to the positive demand impacts from vegoils. Illustration 17: Chemical trade and dwt demand growth

The charts show the chemical trade development as well as the dwt demand development. Despite less trade in 2009, dwt is expected to increase as a result of shut in crackers and increased ton-mile demand arising from the fact that end-users of chemicals have to import the products from foreign sources, most notably the Middle East Gulf and Asia. Overall, we expect a 5 percent annual demand growth for chemical tankers through 2014. 5.0 SUPPLY OF CHEMICAL TANKERS 5.1. REGULATION The Marpol Annex II regulations came into force January 1st 2007 and have seriously regulated chemical trades and the possibility ships have to take on specific cargoes. In practice, it is more difficult for product tankers to switch between oil products and vegetable oils due to the FOSFA rules under which refined oil products are not listed as acceptable previous cargoes for vegetable oils. In contrast, major organic chemicals (methanol, MTBE) and inorganic chemicals (caustic soda, phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid) are listed as acceptable previous cargoes. Product tanker owners will thus need to allocate dedicated tonnage for vegetable oil trades if they want to take part in it. Moreover, the right expertise and proper certificates for handling of chemical cargoes are required, which make it more difficult for typical product tanker owners to comply accordingly. Strong trade growth in chemicals and vegetable oils, reallocation of vegetable oils to DH tonnage and higher IMO class requirements for carriage of major organic chemicals have boosted demand for chemical tankers
Adriatic Chemical KS Page 48 of 76

since 2007. 5.2. SUPPLY OF CHEMICAL TANKERS The chemical tanker fleet is growing. However, the fleet consists of several different size segments that will grow at different rates. The existing fleet compared to the orderbook is shown in illustration 5 and it is interesting to see that two sizes seem to be more popular than other segments. First, owners seem to prefer large vessels in the handy/MR segments, that is, vessels in the size range from 35 to 50k dwt. Then, also the smaller ships are subject to a significant fleet growth, especially in the 5-20k dwt segment. Further, ships below 5k dwt and between 25 and 35k dwt seem to be less popular as few orders are placed and the existing fleets are ageing. Illustration 18: Existing chemical tanker fleet

Single hull vessels will be phased out in 2010 as these vessels are deemed unwanted by the maritime industry. Hence, the chemical tanker fleet growth will be significantly constrained in 2010 despite a large 2.5 mill dwt entering the market. Further, single-skin scrapping will be largest in smaller segments as these segments have the most ageing fleets. Further, insurance costs, operating costs and crew and charterer displeasure soar when a vessel exceeds 20 years. Therefore, we have removed all vessels older than 25 years in our analyses. Hence, all ships delivered in 1986 will be removed in 2011 and so on.

With todays orderbook, the chemical tanker fleet size will peak in 2010 at 37.5 mill dwt, up from todays 33.7 mill dwt. We expect large fleet growth in 2009 and 2010, after 2010 deliveries will stop as very few ships were ordered late 2007 and in 2008. However, we expect contracting to resume when the financial crisis calms and credit becomes more available, but this will not affect deliveries before 2013, at the earliest. It is also worth noting that the largest bulk of chemical tanker deliveries came last year when 4 mill dwt was added to the fleet. 6.0 MARKET BALANCE CHEMICAL TANKERS The current chemical tanker market is softening because of weak demand from the chemical industry. Simultaneously, the fleet has had many additions lately and fleet utilization (the ratio of dwt demand by dwt supply) is therefore weakening. These market conditions are reflected softening chemical and small tanker rates as shown in illustration 6: Illustration 20: Chemical and small tanker rates

The rates shown above give an excellent picture of todays situation, but as mentioned in section 2, chemical trade growth is expected return to levels experienced prior to 2008. Hence, demand will increase and this will impact the market balance positively. Hence rates are likely to improve. As shown in illustration 4, dwt demand is expected to increase by 5 percent annually from 2010. Demand will also increase in 2009, but at a far weaker level at only 3 percent. However, the fleet growth was large in 2008 and the fleet will continue to grow this year as well, implying a weak utilization year and in 2010 even though 2010 will be markedly better than this 2009. Again, utilization will improve through 2012, especially since no ships are currently being ordered. There are large differences between size segments. First, the orderbook looks different between segments as some sizes will experience a larger relative fleet growth than other. Further, the various segments are excluded from certain trades due to their size. Therefore, segments are differently demanded. Combined with the relative fleet growths, the segments will not experience the same utilization. Illustration 21: Chemical tanker fleet growth, 600-5k dwt

As the illustration above shows, ageing vessels and few deliveries after 2008 will make the fleet growth in the smallest chemical tanker segment, 600-5k dwt, negative from 2008. Hence, demolitions will outnumber deliveries in the segment, leading to fewer competitors for the young and remaining vessels. Vessels of this size are demanded all over the world, but they are well suited for coastal trading of chemicals, vegoils and clean petroleum products. Hence intra-European and intra-Asian trades with their numerous small ports and players are the main employer of these vessels. The European market is stable with a steady demand and developed trades. Vessels are most busy in North Europe and the Baltic as well as the Med and the market for these vessels is believed to exist for the years to come. However, it must be noted that many modern, slightly larger vessels are currently entering the market in great numbers. These vessels are able to enter the same ports as their smaller sisters and also take on more cargo, charters are therefore getting increasingly interested in the 5-10k dwt segment.

If we compare demand with supply for three different segments; all chemical tankers, 5-10k dwt chemical tankers and chemical tankers smaller than 5k dwt, we arrive at somewhat different utilization rates. As can be seen in the chart, the brightest prospects are to be found in the smallest segment. However, the 5-20k dwt looks good as well. Utilization rates for both segments are expected to strengthen after 2009 as deliveries become fewer and demand picks up.
