Spring 2017 Seminar Highlights Please note that these highlights are provided for illustrative purposes only and some information has been redacted.

Key Takeaways 1. Bottom of market cycle. Possibly some of the toughest years in 2016 since financial crisis for shipping but now some building blocks for the future. Oversupply after ordering in 2010 and 2013 but some improvements in bulker markets and very strong investor interest, tankers OK in 2016 but now easing back. Huge pressures built up container market across 2016 but perhaps past bottom on freight, major stress across offshore driven by oil price collapse. Better markets in some niches (Cruise, Ferrry, Ro Ro). 2. Trade Growth. Still Growth potential in Seaborne Trade but Offshore requirements weak in short term. Trade impacted by Chinese economy and policy (one belt, one road). But still 85% of trade by sea and still long term growth potential despite range of scenarios. Offshore driven by different fundamentals and structurally longer to recover. 3. Fleet Growth Slowing. But still 50% bigger than after financial crisis so larger market for service sector. Deliveries declining in 2017 and an accelerated decline in 2018 and 2019 expected. Lower fleet growth in 2017 and in medium term and consolidation of client base expected. 4. Shipyard Orders Drought. Shipyard ordering very weak in 2016 and pressures building for further consolidation and capacity reductions. Non-delivery of orderbook continues. Weakest ordering since 1980s in 2016 continued weakness in 2017 anticipated with focus on small and niche (passenger not offshore). Some speculative investment now expected in 2017 however. 5. Major change in financial landscape including regulation and banks exiting shipping. 6. Environment & Technology Change. Regulation accelerating and creating demand for solutions. Technology and innovation opportunities with e-commerce, data, IT and satellite communication to ships to support productivity and regulation. 4

Contracts were generally backed by long-term charter, with very few speculative orders. More bespoke designs including 31 Valemax orders. Despite record low newbuild prices, lower resale values meant that speculative activity was focussed on the secondhand market in 2016. 8
