1 (America) LLC The Impact of Super Container Ships & VSAs Todd Rives SVP & CCO

2 CMA CGM GROUP Statistics CMA CGM 11.4m Employees TEUs carried in 2013 Offices Worldwide Operated vessel Port OF calls The 3 rd Largest Container Carrier in the World 2

3 CMA CGM GROUP Volume and Growth CMA CGM CMA CGM: 17% Average Volume Growth over 13 Years Period 3

4 CMA CGM GROUP MARKET SHARE & RANKING CMA CGM CMA CGM: Ranks 5 th in the US Market, with a market share of 6.2% 4

5 Why Are We Talking About Large Ships Today? Savings of Fuel Consumption/TEU is tremendous as vessel size increases Bunker costs had risen to over $700/ton before the recent drop, and fuel has become the largest cost factor in vessel operation, more than even the vessels themselves, composing over 50% of the total operating cost of a liner service.

6 Large Ships You can debate their impact, but you cannot deny that they are coming! said by a Roman General referring to the Huns in 425 AD Source: Alphaliner That being the case, planning and preparing is the responsible course. 6

10 OK, I ve Convinced You that Large Ships are the Future So what does it all mean? Some Facts --- Large ships are simply a requirement to compete at today s rate levels and cost structures It requires between 4-16 vessels to make a liner service, depending on the tradelane and route served (@ a cost of well over $100M each for newbuild large vessels) Large ships are only economically feasible when operating near full No single carrier can offer sufficient market coverage AND still fill the vessels to an efficient level So how is this going to work? 10

11 VSA s and Alliances First, Some definitions VSA = Vessel Sharing Agreement Legal Speak for multiple carriers utilizing the same ship Must be approved by various government agencies in the countries where they operate (USA = FMC) Alliances = Collection of VSAs with the same core group of carriers in multiple trade lanes Allows members to swap capacity between trades Allow carriers to leverage efficiencies amongst the members to provide a broader scope of coverage VSA s and Alliances can be exclusive or non-exclusive in permitting partners to work outside of the agreements in various trades. 11

12 Four Main Global Alliances There s us: Ocean Three CMA CGM China Shipping UASC And some other guys: G-6 APL Hapag Lloyd OOCL Mitsui OSK NYK Hyundai CSAV 2M Maersk MSC CKYHE Hanjin COSCO K-Line Yang Ming Evergreen We believe the table is now set, and this will be the general appearance in container shipping for the next few years. It is extremely difficult and disruptive (read: expensive!) to disengage/reengage between alliances. 12

15 LARGE SHIPS Large Ships Present Two Major Challenges 1 = Size of the ships 2 = Highly Concentrated Volumes of Cargo Port Impact Harbor Depth (& Air Draft) Berths 1300 Foot? Cranes Reach (20+), How Many Per Berth? Moves Per Hour Critical On Dock Rail Back of Crane Infrastructure Gates Intense Peak Days Highways Pilots & Tugs Rail Impact Longer Trains Flatcar Availability Double Stack On Dock Rail Higher Ramp Traffic Concentration Origin & Destination Dedicated Trains/Corridors Customer Impact Concentrated Flows = High Velocity Potential Warehouse Stresses Improved Schedule Reliability Dray Power Challenges Effectively Managing These Issues Will Result In Improved Efficiency Throughout the Supply Chain 15

16 What does the future hold? Bunker Pressure Big Ships Expansion of VSAs/Alliances Learning Curve for Supply Chain Improved Efficiency For Everyone Afterwards Returning Economic Growth Industry Cycles Continue 16
