the rates levelled off. This boom was caused by heavy contract nominations, a tight $130.00
space situation in general, and charterers willing to pay up for the little space left $120.00

for spot cargoes. There were no particular products dominating this trade, but the $100.00

several discharge ports. MEG was also fixed in this direction in 5,000 to 10,000 ton

The chemical tanker market has been very favorable to the owners most of this year. There are many opinions about how long this situation may last. There are
a number of factors which will have influence on that. The war in Ukraine and the Russian sanctions have increased the ton-mile requirements for product carriers
and chemical tankers. On the other hand some analysts think that the demand for vegoil shipments will decline, also in part due to the war in Ukraine. Others are
predicting an increase for Caustic Soda and Sulphuric Acid shipments. On the demand side it is fair to say that the picture is fuzzy. On the supply side it is clearer.
There are a lack of new buildings, in particular vessels with stainless steel tanks and swing tonnage has been drawn out of the chemicals and into CPP. The CPP
market for MRs was high during the summer, but cooled down again in the fall. It is now on the rise again, and this will draw additional tonnage out of the chemical
trade and into the CPP trade.

Midsize / Handy

The handy and midsize LPG markets continue to see sturdy employment. Over the last few months there has been an increase in trans-Atlantic LPG on smaller
vessels. Pressure vessels as well as sub 12,000 cbm semi-ref vessels have seen most of the fixtures. However, the handy market has also jumped into this business
as well. PetroIneos fixed the Celtic Gas from Houston to the Med loading early December. Also, the Balearic Gas was extended to Sahara which then performed a
trans-Atlantic voyage on time charter from Port Neches to Jorf Lasfar. With the VLGC market trading at record high levels, combined with th geopolitical issues in
the Med, these cargoes have become more frequent. In other business, there were a pair of Neste relets fixed in in Northern Europe. For term business, there was a
notable fixture on the Pacific Gas, which was locked up by OQ for 1 year at $780k pcm. Shifting to the midsize market, spot activity was non-existent on either side
of the Suez, due to lack of workable positions. For term business, the Nisyros Lady was extended to Geogas for 6 months, but at the time of writing the rate levels
were not known. The Eagle Ford Lady was fixed to Trafigura for 4 to 5 months, at around $35k per day. Trafi also has the Bakken Lady and Marcellus Lady on short
time charterers from back in October. Both segments are well employed through the remainder of the year, so earnings and rates will remain firm.

CHEMICAL GASES
The long haul petchem gas market remained active through November, with
C2 cargoes from the US continuing to dominate most discussions in the West.
However, there were a few interesting fixtures that popped up in other products
as well. Although ethylene has been the most active spot cargo from the US,
ethane seemed to be more active in November. Ethane is typically covered by
contracts or time charters, but last month we saw several spot fixtures out of
both Marcus Hook and Houston. This can be credited to a few things. First, there
are less handy and 17’s available due to the run to the East that has kept the
market tight over the last few months. This has led to more 12’s getting fixed for
the Atlantic, which requires more vessels to be fixed to cover the same volume.
The increased level of fixing for the 12’s, coupled with an increased appetite for
ethane in Europe, led to just under a half dozen spot ethane cargoes fixed in
November for varying dates. Ethylene still made some news, with the Kalolimnos
fixing Shell from Enterprise to Fos loading mid-December. In the East, there was
a Rabigh tender in the market later in the month, however it was rumored to be
canceled and fixed privately on a smaller vessel. At the time of writing, the de-
tails remained unclear.

The propylene market saw some increased activity this month. The market west
of the Suez continues to be more focused on shorter haul cargoes, such Repsol’s
Linda Kosan loading in Bilbao for ARA early in the month. Otherwise, there was
some discussions from the USG for the usual players, but again nothing came
from it. In the East, there were a pair of cargoes fixed from Kauntan to Petronas
for early and mid-month laycans, with options in SEA. Also, notably the Pacific
Venus was fixed to Marubeni from Ruwais to the Far East. Otherwise, there
were a couple cargoes form Al Jubail fixed to Sabic with discharge regionally and
in the Far East.

The C4 market had a slower first half of the month, but picked up momentum.
Negromex and Ineos fixed their usual Houston to Altamira cargoes for late month
laycans. While on the other side of the Atlantic, a few trans-Atlantic cargoes were
fixed to the usual charterers. One regular trader fixed a mid-November cargo on
the Kalolimnos, and forward fixed the Bering Gas for a January loader. Invista
fixed a 9,000 cbm UNIGAS ship for a mid-December cargo, and Shell was in with
the Zetagas loading late November. After making some news fixing a trans-At-
lantic cargo last month, Integra fixed an odd 2 port load on the Mygas, loading
in Al Jubail followed by ARA and destined for the USG. Also notable, a trader
fixed the Thekla Schulte from ARA to China, which comes as a surprise since this
business has not been done in almost a year.
ANHYDROUS AMMONIA
The global ammonia market was once again focused on the supply and price of natural gas in Europe. Gas prices in Europe started to drop at the close of last month
and continued through November. As a result, ammonia production was increased at Fertiberia’s plant at Huelva, OCI’s plant at Galeen, BASF’s plants in Antwerp/
Ludwigshafen, and throughout the Yara system. Demand for cargoes into NWE eased and pushed prices below October’s $1200 cfr levels. EuroChem purchased
a MGC cargo for end November delivery in Antwerp at $1,125 cfr and Borealis followed with a prompt 9,000 t cargo from Ameropa at around $1,150-1,175 cfr. A
third cargo, also purchased by Eurochem for December dates was fixed at $1,053 cfr. The decline in European imports also pushed prices down in the Middle East
where Abu Qir sold 10,000 tons to Yara at $1050 fob.

Similar to last month, product activity in the East centered on the supply of product from China. The availability of Chinese ammonia maintained downward price
pressure in the East where Dafeng cargos were reportedly sold into India at sub $900 cfr levels and a small Fuzhou cargo was sold for $818 cfr. Later in the month,
Petronas sold 7,000t ex Kerteh for loading on the Green Energy with a scheduled discharge in the US West Coast. The price was reportedly fixed slightly above the
market.

We forecast the global market will remain firm but downward price pressure will be present across all markets.

Asia
The big news for the Asian market was Lotte’s purchase of 50,000t of blue am-
monia from Ma”aden and Sabic. The purchase was viewed as a growing trend
for the general Asian market but particularly for Korea and Japan.

With regards to the current supply of gray ammonia, demand from India was
robust. The Indian government’s subsidy for P&K fertilizers for the Rabi season
was approved for $6.275 billion, up from the budgeted amount of $2.54 billion.
Product margins were reportedly slightly lower than the previous program. Mar-
ket price levels were set when SK Chemicals sold two cargoes ex Dafeng for dis-
charge into Paradeep at about $860 – 880 cfr. IFFCO purchased a Petronas car-
go on the Navigator Glory for a mid-month delivery at a comparable price level.

In South East Asia, Petronas reported the sale of a 7,000t cargo to Koch for dis-
charge in Stockton, California. The cargo was loaded on the Green Energy and
reportedly fixed at a slightly above market rate.

U.S.A.
Exports from the USA continued in November. The Pasco Odin loaded a full
MGC cargo for Trammo at Donaldsonville at the start of the month for discharge
in Morocco. The Navigator Genesis loaded a Handy size cargo from OCI for
Fertiglobe at about mid-month. The Winnipeg loaded an MGC cargo at Geismar
at mid-month for Nutrien and is scheduled to discharge in Chile. The Yara Sela
loaded a Handy cargo for Yara’s system in Norway.

The direct application season in the US continued through November with prices
comparable to October levels. Cornbelt prices remained in the $1300 - $1400/
ton fob range through the period. The U.S. harvest continued ahead of the five-
year average with the corn crop 93% complete and soybeans 97% complete at
mid-month. Both crops were trending about 5% ahead of the average rate.

Import prices dropped $120/t through the period and were settled at $1,030 cfr
