• Supply: Demand Model suggests fleet utilisation increasing to c.84-87% over the next 3 years, showing an eventual positive outlook

• However as shown the Supply: Demand gap could be closed by Q1 2016 due to various factors including:

– Slow Steaming

– Higher scrapping/ slippage scenario

– Firmer pick up in Dry Bulk trades

Market Outlook

Page 35: Charlie Huckerby, Braemar Seascope: Volatility in the dry bulk freight market explained

Braemar Seascope

The Year Ahead...

• Cape Market: We forecast a typically slow start to 2014 with rates under US$10,000, however building to an increase in rates towards the end of the year for the traditional re-stocking period, which could be three or four times more than the market rates during the year.

• Panamax Market: Oversupply continuing to apply pressure to the Panamax market, with flat forecasts for Q1 and Q2, however a modest recovery towards the back end of the year attributed to the US Gulf grain harvest.

• Supramax Market: A flat year expected for the Supramax market, with rates forecast to differ by c.US$2,000-3,000 through the entirety of 2014.

• Handysize Market: The Handysize market will continue to have downward pressure applied to it by the Supramax market, as such a sternly flat market is expected through-out 2014.
