Odfjell SE - Chemical Tanker Industry Update
Summary - Covid-19 creates high uncertainties for future demand, but demand still
looks likely to continue surpassing net fleet growth in the years to come
Covid-19
O Relatively resilient to Covid-19 impact so far - Essential Products & wide product mix are key
ORegional outbreaks and a reduction in fleet supply has given a short-term boost to our markets
We still expect tonne-mile growth between 2 to 4 per cent p.a. through 2022
depending on the outcome for the global economy following Covid-19
Chemical tanker tonne-mile demand, Billion tonne-miles
Other chemical products
New capacity
O New organic capacity led to strong demand growth of 6 and 8 percent in 2018 and 2019
A slowdown in new capacity is expected to normalise demand growth rates between 2020 and 2022

Regulations
Swing tonnage
Tonne-mile demand forecasted to grow between 2 to 4 percent on average between 2020 and 2022
A slow recovery post Covid-19 to result in low growth (2%) and 2021 recovery in high growth (4%)

Dependent on outcome of covid-
19 for the global economy
O Regulations to positively impact fleet growth until 2022 and maybe also beyond
A large share of the tanker fleet needs replacement by 2025 - But propulsion dilemma a positive hurdle
The market has gone through a period with high fleet growth, but we expect
growth to decline to 1% on average p.a. through 2022
Deep-sea fleet development, DWT mill.
O Low orderbook also the case neighbouring crude and product tanker segments
OA positive development in competition from swing tonnage could therefore be expected
O Current orderbook to fleet ratio for chemical tankers is 4.9%, an all-time low
Fleet growth
O Fleet growth estimated to be 1% on average per year between 2020 and 2022
