24 July 2 Shifting Tides Maritime Shipping Weekly Oil Tankers Nigeria bans specific oil tankers from calling on its ports The Nigerian state oil company (NNPC) last week banned 113 oil tankers, primarily VLCCs, from calling on Nigerian oil terminals. The ban was reportedly due to a crackdown on oil theft and corruption in the country, as it s alleged that there were discrepancies between loading and discharge figures. Intertanko strongly opposes the ban, pointing out that some of the ships haven t called on Nigeria ports in years, and some haven't called at all. Regardless, if the ban holds we believe this could have a positive effect on the tanker market, as the ban would artificially reduce local supply off West Africa and decrease trading efficiencies, effectively lowering the overall supply potential of the fleet. Shipping Noah R. Parquette, CFA AC Bloomberg JPMA PARQUETTE <GO> J.P. Morgan Securities LLC Push for repeal of crude export ban continues The Senate Energy committee released a bill last week that did not include legislation that would repeal the ban on exporting crude oil. Nevertheless, Senator Lisa Murkowski, the Alaskan Senator who has been championing a repeal of the law, said she intends to have the panel vote before August recess (August 7 th ) on a bill that includes oil exports. Regardless, debate in Congress over repealing the ban continues to grow, especially after the Iran deal was announced. We continue to view a repeal of the ban as a significant positive for smaller crude tanker, with neutral to slightly negative effects for product tankers. EURN and ASC remain our top picks in the sector.

24 July 2 Sector Investment Risks North American production The most important risk, in our view, is the true potential for North American production growth and what the time frame is for that growth. If production is not able to meet expectations, there is always the risk that transatlantic trade redevelops, which would reverse the new trade flows we are anticipating. Furthermore, a downturn in North American production could increase the global price for oil, negatively impacting demand. Russia/China economic integration The signing of the major natural gas deal between Russia and China will likely lead to long-term economic integration between those two countries, which could eventually lead to more direct oil import growth into China that would be serviced by pipeline and/or short-haul seaborne imports. Chinese development of new silk road China is notoriously anxious about its reliance on the Malacca Straits for its energy needs, given that the U.S. Navy still controls the sea lanes. Beijing is working hard to address that problem on multiple fronts, most notably is the build out of a pipeline between China and Myanmar that would bypass the Malacca Straits. China is also developing the Gwadar port in cooperation with Pakistan, which would also shorten routes and bypass the Malacca Straits. Ultimately though, we believe these projects are part of a diversification strategy by Beijing, and would only impact ton-mile demand negatively on the margin. Supply/demand balance Overall demand for tanker services depends on world and regional issues, including crude oil production and demand, as well as global and regional economic and geopolitical conditions. Market conditions are difficult to predict, and single events often affect the price, demand, production, and transport of oil. As such, tanker rates can fluctuate dramatically over short periods of time. While analysis of oil supply and demand factors can help provide guidance to near-term market action, overall tanker rates are almost impossible to predict. Tanker orderbook The tanker orderbook currently stands at 16% of the total fleet. In our opinion, if demand fails to increase proportionately with the augmented tonnage supply, then tanker rates may weaken further. Vessel speed Vessel speed is a function of bunker fuel prices and freight rates, as higher bunker fuel prices can incentivize owners to run vessels at slower speeds to save fuel. Fuel consumption generally has an exponential relationship to speed. Slow steaming is more often seen on the ballast voyage, especially when rates are low and fuel prices are high. An increase in the speed of the fleet is effectively an increase in supply. 1
