October Worldyards Monthly Newsletter This is a monthly publication of Worldyards which summarizes developments in the newbuilding market in the past month with a special focus on shipbuilders. We start with a summary table, followed by shipbuilding output forecast and newbuilding price index. We then list the newbuilding orders, present our statistical summaries on terminations, slippage/advancement, rescheduling and demolitions, and conclude the newsletter with latest developments in shipbuilders, their host countries and shipbuilding technology. For latest figures on orderbook ratio, age profile and delivery schedule of various segments and other vital statistics, log onto our website (www.worldyards.com). Summary of Orders and Investments, Oct New Contracts Investment (USD Million) Bulkers 6,771,900 (+94%) 2,450.98 (+106%) Containers 19,100 Nominal TEU (-85%) 213.61 (-80%) Semi-liner Tonnage 115,000 (+80%) 125 (+64%) LNG (Gas I) 600,000 CBM n/a 850 n/a LPG (Gas III) 244,000 CBM (-34%) 346 (-33%) Product Tanker 652,000 (+23%) 331.60 (+8%) Product/Chemical Tanker 1,488,592 (+1,235%) 966 (+998%) Chemical Tanker 360,000 (+109%) 326.80 (+58%) Passenger Ships 130,000 GT n/a 959.81 n/a Notes: (1) %: It is the percentage change over last month.

Shipbuilding Capacity and Utilization Year Capacity Annual Delivery Scheduled Delivery Capacity / (CGT) Growth (CGT) (CGT) Utilization 2008 42,782,340-40,366,520-94.35% 2009 52,063,323 21.69% 41,563,455-79.83% 2010 60,632,384 16.46% 47,561,092-78.44% 2011 64,180,881 5.85% 46,389,131-72.28% 2012 69,549,922 8.37% 45,544,406-65.48% 74,628,818 7.30% 28,843,424 11,995,887 54.72% 2014 77,414,997 3.73% 81,231 33,952,276 43.96% 2015 79,005,573 2.05% - 25,069,398 31.73% 80,878,235 2.37% - 11,185,348 13.83% 2017 83,304,582 3.00% - 1,360,000 1.63% * Stale orders (please refer to Key Statistics -> Orderbook -> Scheduled Deliveries for the definition of stale orders) Worldyards shipbuilding capacity and utilization estimate is not a result of mathematical forecast, but rather result of a sum-of-all-parts approach estimating micro developments in each and every shipbuilder. First, Worldyards assumed 2008 as the base for maximum capacity or full utilization except for the few builders who have just started production in mid to end of 2007 and a number of builders who have delivered more in 2007. (Please note that our previous capacity calculation is essentially based on the builder's output. For the detailed discussion see our market comment dated on 23 June 2010, Utilisation as a Metric of Shipbuilding Capacity). Then, we assume an organic productivity growth of 3 5% for each shipbuilder annually. The organic baseline of 3-5% depends on the status of the market and the country of the builder. We use 5% for good market, 3% for less good market. However productivity can be reduced also if a builder produces consistently below their potential in depressed market, they will slow down investment for technical and technological improvements, lay off workers, and take on a more diverse product mix than what is ideal for productivity. So we assume -3% for each year where output is 15% below potential for the previous year, -5% if the output gap is bigger than 15%. On top of the organic growth (or decline), the growth rate is then adjusted upwards or downwards to allow for other productivity developments (we call them "capacity-significant events"), caused by events such as new production methods/processes, introduction of facilities/equipment, closure of facilities, shifting of strategic focus from merchant shipbuilding to other activities, etc. Worldyards evaluates each event and assess their impact which will be added on or subtracted from the 3 5% baseline growth rate for each shipbuilder. Each and every of these capacity-significant events can be viewed under the "Background" box of each shipbuilders in the member site. For any additional facility of the shipbuilder, the increment capacity will be distributed as 60% on its first year of production, another 25% on its second year (or 85% in total) and full production on its third year (capacity will Page 2 of 21

reach its designed level in 3 years). On the other hand, for any closure of facility, full capacity will be deducted upon its effectivity year since we can't close a drydock/facility gradually. The Worldwide, Continent-wise and Country-wise estimates are just a summation of resultant estimates of individual builders. It is important to note though that "available capacity" would appear much higher due to the fact that the Japanese orderbook is significantly under-reported, our solution to this is to create "proforma orders" for some yards as deemed appropriate.

Notes: Fictitious Orders: Orders that were never signed but wrongly reported. Theoretically they shall never have been part of the orderbook, even though some of them did find their way in. Some of them even have IMO numbers. Failed order: Signed contracts confirmed to have failed to become effective. We treat terminated orders between shipbuilders and ship-owning companies which are both controlled by the same ultimate interests as failed orders. There are some builders which are operating differently from the normal built-to-order business model they start building vessels on speculation that they could sell them closer to delivery, alternatively they (or the nominal ship-owners within the same group) will offer them for long-term charter. Examples are a lot of the Turkish yards, some Japanese yards such as Imabari and Tsuneishi. Even though they could have nominal shipbuilding contracts, but they can be regarded as internal transfers within the group so the normal contractual relationships regarding installments, refundment guarantees etc. may not apply. The owners will choose to stop construction at anytime of its choice without having to consider the legal obligations under the shipbuilding contract. Whenever we have been able to establish the same ownership interests for the concerned shipbuilder and ship-owning companies, we will treat their terminated contracts as failed. Column (2) & (4) are still part of the orderbook and thus not included on the Total Deduction column, i.e. builder decided to continue construction of the vessels. Cancelled Orders: Effective contracts which have been cancelled legitimately or abandoned by way of defaults. Terminated by Mutual Agreement: An agreement between buyer and shipyard to negate an effective shipbuilding contract, especially those with deliveries in the distant future. The buyers would normally agree to pay the shipbuilders some compensation. Within the shipbuilding contract there are strict mechanisms governing how the contract can be rescinded, this is an extra contractual way to terminate the shipbuilding contract. Page 10 of 21

The figure shown here is combination of both. (2) The basis of the comparison is always the known orderbook 1 st January (of current and preceding year), as unless the base is constant, we are not comparing apple to apple. That means our calculation excludes: a) Spillovers delayed deliveries from the earlier period. For instance, if a vessel is scheduled to be delivered in 1 st Quarter of (2009), but gets delivered in the 3 rd Quarter of (2009), she will not be counted as actual deliveries in 3 rd Q (2009), for the purpose of the slippage calculation. b) Newly surfaced existing orders entered into the system after 1st January of the current and preceding year. For instance, if there were 400 capesize bulkers known at 1st January 2008, the system would just track slippage of these vessels and disregard the 50 "new" orders that could have been entered into the system during 2008, since we can't calculate the extent of slippage by comparing the schedule of 400 ships against delivery of 450 ships. Since spillovers and newly surfaced existing orders are frequent events, the results shown here are slippage of the known orderbook 1st January each year, not necessarily results of the entire orderbook at any given time, however they give very close indications to the extent of slippage. (3) Actual deliveries (f) are mainly from the recorded orderbook 1st January, however it also includes spillovers from earlier periods, additional deliveries from newly surfaced existing orders, and deliveries ahead of schedule from the period (for instance, some orders were scheduled to be delivered in January 2008 however it was delivered in December 2009, hence, this will be included in Actual Deliveries in 2009).In other words, whilst (a) = (b)+(c)+(d)+(e) = 100%, (f) can be smaller (if more ships were delivered in the preceding year/previous quarter) or bigger (from spillover and unknown orders) than (b)+(c). Total deductions (d) = fictitious orders + failed contracts + cancelled and removed + terminated and removed. (4) Slippage = builder/construction delay + rescheduling. a) Quarterly slippage refers to the number of ships or orders that slipped from the quarter to a following quarter. b) Annual slippage refers to the number of ships or orders that slipped from 2010 into 2011. Slippage refers to the number of ships and capacity of orders that slipped from the quarter to a following quarter. Page 15 of 21

Shipbuilder Developments 28-Oct- : STX Arctech Helsinki Shipyard moving to sale to USC Russia : The Russian state-owned shipbuilding firm USC has confirmed it will take full ownership of the financially challenged Arctech Helsinki shipyard from its current owner, the Korean company STX, according to the Finnish newspaper Yle.

The Dubai-based owner of the iconic QE2 cruise liner has announced the appointment of COSCO Shipyard Group to refurbish the ship into a luxury floating hotel. QE2 Holdings said in a statement that the cruise ship, which has hosted kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers and celebrities throughout its legendary 40-year history, will depart from Dubai and arrive in COSCO Shipyard s facility in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province. Once there, it will receive a makeover that is scheduled for completion by 2015. The existing 990 staterooms will be converted into 400 premium suites ranging from 60 to 150 square metres. The statement said COSCO Shipyard will be responsible for all the technical repairs and coordinate with an appointed interior renovation contractor to revamp the accommodation and ballroom, as well as the refitting of seven restaurants, 10 lounges, a cinema, a maritime museum displaying QE2 memorabilia, and a shopping mall. Daniel Chui, president and chief executive of QE2 Holdings and managing director of Oceanic Group, said: "The ship's redevelopment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any interior design professional to create what will become one of Asia s major waterfront tourist attractions.the goal for the final design is to preserve the soul of the QE2 - many of the original furnishings and much of the decor will be incorporated - while creating a modern luxury hotel." Originally set to be refurbished as the central attraction in a maritime-themed development on Palm Jumeirah, this plan was scrapped in the wake of the financial crisis and the downturn in the Dubai property market. 15-Oct- : DNV GL recommends ways to make LNG bunkering safe and efficient : DNV GL has launched a "Recommended Practice for Authorities," LNG bunker suppliers and ship operators which provides guidance on how LNG bunkering can be undertaken in a safe and efficient manner. LNG-fuelled ships have logged over 130 ship-years of operation in Norwegian waters and LNG's attractiveness and stability as a fuel has been thoroughly demonstrated. Globally too, operators, suppliers and regulators have gained significant experience in all aspects of LNG-fuelled ship operations in recent years. However, the process for developing the required infrastructure has not yet been standardised. According to DNV GL, 83 LNG-fuelled ships are in operation or on order worldwide, ranging from passenger ferries, Coast Guard ships and cargo vessels to tankers and platform supply vessels. Estimates say the global LNG-fuelled fleet is to reach 3,200 by 2025. EU along is to invest in helping to equip 139 seaports and inland ports with LNG bunker stations by 2025. DNV GL is now opening the Recommended Practice for comments for an external six-week consultation period. Subsequently, DNV will update the document based on input received from the industry, followed by formal publication. 10-Oct- : BV to class largest container ships built in China : Bureau Veritas will class three Ultra-Large Container Ships (ULCSs) to be built for China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) and chartered to French operator CMA CGM. The ships are due for delivery in 2015. The 16,000 teu vessels will be the largest container ships built in China to date. One will be built at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) yard, and the other two at Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry, part of which came under the management of SWS this year. The design was developed by the Marine Design and Research Institute of China (MARIC) in co-operation with BV, which performed the drawing approval and conducted a thorough structural examination. The vessels will have an overall length of 399 m, a beam of 54 m, and a draft of 16 m. Special consideration has been given to hydroelastic design (whipping and springing) issues, which are so important for this size of ship. A hydroelastic examination was performed using BV's HOMER software in order to take into account extreme whipping loads due to slamming and additional fatigue damage due to springing, factoring in the elastic structural Page 20 of 21

response of the ship. This review provides a higher level of safety compared to the rigid approach traditionally adopted to such issues, and is mandatory under BV Rules for ULCSs of 300 m and above. On the strength of this examination, BV s WhiSp2 notation has been assigned to the ships. The vessels will be also granted BV s VeriSTAR HULL DFL 25-year notation, which certifies various structural details, including hatch corners and coamings, for 25 years of fatigue life, following a spectral fatigue analysis with a 3D finite element analysis model. The 16,000 teu ships will be able to operate at a maximum speed of over 23 knots with a single-screw propeller directly coupled to a 69 Megawatt, 2-stroke electronic engine. The vessels environmentally friendly profile is attested to by BV s class notations CLEANSHIP and FORS. The latter incorporates special arrangements to ensure that the ship s fuel oil tanks are safely emptied in case of emergency, minimizing the risk of pollution. This is an important safety aspect considering the size of the fuel oil tanks of ULCSs. Steel cutting for the new vessels is due to begin next year and the ships are expected to be delivered in 2015. 04-Oct- : MAN signs propeller agreement with DSIC : MAN Diesel & Turbo signed an agreement on 30 August in Denmark regarding the production of its Kappel propeller portfolio with Dalian Marine Propeller Co., Ltd.
