9 Hamburg Süd Oetker Group Hamburg Süd Fuel Saving Challenges 9

10 Why is fuel saving essential? Cost side: Fuel costs decreased significantly since Q4/14 Total bunker costs ($$$) 10

11 Bunker Price Development IFO 80 Rotterdam Source: Platts Oilgram Bunkerwire [CON-C] 11

12 Why is fuel saving essential? Cost side: Fuel costs have decreased significantly since Q4/14 However, bunkers are still one of the biggest operational cost items However, the price advantages are taken by all competitors in the market Saving potential still exists, whilst other cost categories have less room for improvement Marginal savings do still have a large effect on cost improvements Environmental protection side: Reduction of CO2- emissions Target of Hamburg Süd: Reduction of CO2- emissions per transported teu km by 45% from 2009 to 2020 Social responsibility and customer expectation: Detailed, competitive and improving CO2 footprint 12

13 Which fuel saving techniques are applied? 1. Slow- steaming 2. Excellence in operating / performance optimization. Weather routing 4. Trim optimization 5. Hull optimization & hull/propeller maintenance 6. Engine optimization 1

14 1. Slow steaming Traditionally Hamburg Sud operated in slower-speed trades, therefore less saving potential as in other main trades Average pro-forma speed reduced over years from around 20 kn to 16/17 kn More port buffer => More realistic pro-formas 14

15 Speed consumption curves of different vessel age classes mts/d diff =12t/d =7,800US$ Knots diff =20t/d =1,000US$ OLD PANAMAX NEW 5000 TEU 15

16 2. Excellence in operating / Performance optimization Advance scheduling and operational instructions by improved coordination Minimize change instructions to vessel (earlier/late eta) Routing Optimize/harmonize speed profile Cooperative approach with Master and crew Improved flow of information and data Effective controlling 16

17 2. Excellence in operating / Performance optimization Fleet Operations Center Mission: Maximize fuel savings Nautical expertise Operating the vessel during the Ocean Leg passage Coordination of route, speed and arrival time with the vessels command

18 Voyage Monitoring Tools Decision Support Systems World fleet AIS Satellite position tracking

19 Monitoring Fleet Decision Support Tool OPTIMIZATION Route & speed Considering vessel- & weather condition + schedule Vessel actual track Vessel initial track

20 . Weather routing software 1st step: Weather forecasting software installed on board of all vessel which permits dynamic route planning by Masters 2nd step: Shore-side routing support by rd party weather routing service rd step: Effective and timely controlling of chosen route 20

21 GL-Emission Manager (currently being developed) Collects, reports and evalutes vessel operational data and consumption Allows detailed analysis of vessel and fleet fuel and environmental performance GL Green Server Evaluation Tools 21

22 4. Trim-Optimizer Onboard installation of sensors Individual vessel data analysis Data analysis result of energy loss: Automatic crew guidance to improve trim / draft during ocean sea legs Data analysis of energy loss 22

23 5. Constructive hull optimization and hull maintenance Constructive: Hydrodynamic hull optimization Reduced/optimized bulb shape and size for low speed (for Hamburg Sud of less importance) Becker twisted fins Self polishing coating (but still antifowling) Maintenance: Hull polishing (exceptional situations only) Propeller / seachest cleaning: upon demand depending on trade profile 2

24 6. Engine optimization More modern engine technology: Continous improvement Common- rail- technology / electronic control: -> Flexible injection optimized for partial engine load De-rating: Modified nozzle ring of turbocharger for lower performance optimization Super Slow Steaming Kits (additional blowers, etc.) Exhaust gas boiler is used for bunker pre-heating With downsized, modern engines waste heat is not sufficient to pre-heat bunker oil. 24

25 Hamburg Süd Oetker Group Hamburg Süd Competitive Environment Challenges and future factors to consider 25

26 Future Challenges Increasing cost pressure due to competitive environment in container shipping Increasing bunker prices Environmental Regulations 2015: max. 0.1% Sulphur (= MGO) in ECA s 2020 (2025): max. 0.5% Sulphur worldwide Additional local requirements NOx Engine Limits (Tier III) for newbuildings as of 2016 CO2 Limits 4 26

27 The latest innovations? Succesfull managerial integration of the various saving components is more important than the latest innovation. Example: speeding up of vessels to maintain schedule integrity Main Engine bunker costs transpacific (16 days) Vessel 17kts: 800,000US$ Vessel 20kts: 1,4000,000US$ (speed up due port congestion) Difference : 600,000US$ for one vessel Additional costs for 9 vessels operated in this service: 2.2 Mil. US$ due speed-up on one leg only.8 Mil. US$ during whole roundvoyage 4 27

28 What is the right investment into future? Engineering Highly efficient smaller engines Propulsion improvement devices Dual- fuel engines (LNG, conventional fuels) Scrubber technology (dry, wet, closed-loop, open loop)? IT Information technology (on board & ashore) Reporting technology Data evaluation technology Satelite communication technology 4 28

29 Information Technology Collection of vessel data from various sources Vessel Operational Data Weather Routing Trim Optimizer Others Shoreside integration of vessel data for different user groups Operators Line Management Ship Management Controlling 4 29
