• Forward extra cost to customers or accept lower profit at least for the
short term
• Re-source import supplies from alternative country and re-route exports
(e.g. Chinese honey industry exporting into US via 3rd country)
• Re-locate production to other countries
• Stop business due to cost & margin pressure
How customers react
• CN’s announcement to take retaliatory tariff action against $60 billion of
US goods, sharply escalating trade war as Trump administration considers
imposing duties on virtually all CN imports (worth add. ~USD267)
• Apart from putting up barriers, CN is aiming to simplify clearance
processes in general according to last week`s State Council meeting
• As CN cannot match US tariffs like-for-like, “qualitative measures”
against US firms operating in China might to start kicking in

Market Outlook October 2018 – Ocean Freight Rates Major Trades Market outlook on smaller trades available in the back-up
O C E A N F R E I G H T R A T E S O U T L O O K
ASPA – EURO Carriers have started an intensive blank sailing program to stabilize the market in October. The typhoon season is still affecting the
productivity in the Asian ports, especially at Shanghai/Ningbo.
EURO – ASPA & MEA Market is further softening overall
ASPA – AMLA Rate remain strong to Mexico and WCSA, while ECSA rates have declined. Space is expected to be tight for Mexico & WCSA until after
China Golden Week. Multiple blanks sailing are expected during the same period as well.
ASPA – AMNO Blank sailings across all alliances from wk 40-42. This is expected to result in a tight space situation through 1st half of Oct. Slight
reductions on spot rates in October compared to September.
EURO – AMNO Ocean rates are strong and still increasing; inland carriages in US remain problematic
ASPA – MENAT
Rates remain stable. No huge increase on FAK. Tight vessel utilization is expected after Golden Week. Congestion is reported for Kuwait
Port due to crane problem. Some carriers have implemented Congestion Surcharge of USD50 per TEU into Israel with effect 15 Oct
2018.
ASPA – ASPA Multiple blank sailings have been planned with the China Golden Week. Delays continue at both Manila (N) and (S) port due to the
recent bad weather.
AMNO – EURO Some carriers have announced a rate increase for October to Europe ( Hapag, EISU, YML, Cosco ) and CMA CGM to the MED.

Economic Outlook & Demand Development
Risks from protectionism and emerging-market stress
Source: IHS Markit Global Executive Summary, IHS Purchasing Manager Index Manufacturing, a PMI at 50 is considered neutral, expanding above 50, and business shrinking below 50.

EURO
EURO is experiencing an underlying slowdown in ’18 and cools down to 2.0% growth. Despite higher energy prices & base effects, inflation
outlook is almost unchanged to previous forecast, indicating that rising input costs are not being passed on to consumer prices, suggesting a
squeeze on profit margin.
AMNO
Aided by fiscal stimulus of tax cuts & spending increases, supportive financial conditions, strength in employment, income, & wealth & elevated
consumer & business sentiment, real GDP growth in the US is expected to remain near 3.0% average in H2 ’18. By this measure, GDP has
surpassed potential. With interest rates & inflation rising, & support to growth from fiscal stimulus peaking and then diminishing early next year,
HIS Market expect real GDP growth to slow form 2.9% this year to 2.7% next year and 2.0% in 2020.
ASPA
Outlook on solid feet for 2018 and remains unchanged at 5.0%. Impact of the trade tensions with the US on CN has been limited so far. Exports
forecast downgrade was due to corrections in JP’s & KR’s outlook. Downward market pressure has weakened CN’s currency, but CN
government will likely prevent any sharp or persistent renminbi depreciation.
EMERGING
MARKETS
Emerging market equities are in bear territory. ZA is in a recession & TR is headed there. AR has been forced to raise interest rates to 60%
(more than double the rate at the beginning of the year) to support its crashing currency.
DEMAND
DEVELOPMENT
Export growth forecast for 2018 has decreased, driven by downward revision in major economies, but still remains above the average range of
3.3% of the past 10 years. Expansion pace of Global Manufacturing PMI has been declining since January.

After over six years of legal proceedings and commitment to additional environmental mitigation measures, the Senate of the city of Hamburg (Germany’s largest
port) finally obtained the final plan approval of the long-delayed Elbe River deepening project. The tender of dredging works is prepared and it is planned to start
works in 2019. Overall the project is designed to increase the permissible vessel draft in Hamburg by one meter. Currently, large-scale container services from
the Far East can not have Hamburg as a first port of call without discharging some cargo at another port first. In addition to increased depth, the dredging program
will also widen the fairway so that large inbound and outbound ships can pass with fewer restrictions and bigger safety margins. It is expected that it will take up to
18 months to complete the project, but depth improvements will already become gradually available as deepening works progress. Hamburg will invest and
estimated EUR 600M in the project to maintain its competitive edge in the European Northern Range.
More carriers are adding transpacific capacity to relieve the space crunch and take advantage of the strongly increased spot freight rates on this trade.
HMM increased the capacity on its transpacific service ‘PS1’ by 35% in the first three weeks of September. The capacity increase was achieved by swapping
three 6,350 TEU ships with larger ships of 8’566 TEU taken from the China-India Express Service.
CMA CGM also added two high capacity extra loaders (9,953 TEU CMA CGM BUTTERFLY and 8,465 TEU CMA CGM MELISANDE) in September. Maersk
added two more extra loaders making an ad-hoc USWC trip in September. They follow two extra loaders deployed by Maersk in August. Evergreen also
introduced larger tonnage on the transpacific by replacing one 6,332 TEU vessel with a larger 11,037 TEU ship. Evergreen plans to keep this ad-hoc arrangement
until November to give the carrier a short term capacity boost on the transpacific.
Maersk and MSC will suspend their joint Asia – North Europe ‘AE-2/Swan’ service from end September. This service is one of the largest loops operated on
the Asia – North Europe route and its suspension will remove an average of 19,250 TEU or 6.8% of the current weekly capacity on this trade. Both carriers
stated that the suspended ‘AE-2/Swan’ service will resume when demand picks up. However, exact timing for reintroduction has been left open. Maersk and MSC
will temporarily adjust the rotation of some other Asia – North Europe loops to ensure that all ports calls of the ‘AE-2/Swan’ service remain covered directly.

OCEAN Alliance and THE Alliance are to merge their Med-USEC weekly services into a single joint weekly service. The OAL ‘TAT1’ service, run with six
vessels of 4,3000-5,300 TEU, and THE Alliance ‘AL6’ service, run with five vessels of 4,500 TEU, will be combined into a single weekly service employing six
ships of 8,500 TEU. The members of the two alliances (except Evergreen) have formed the ‘MED/USEC Vessel Sharing Agreement’ to formally organize their
cooperation. The rotation of the new service has not been unveiled yet, but the scope of the VSA covers France, Italy, Malta, Morocco, Spain and the US ports in
the Atlantic coast range. The injection of larger ships will lead to a reduction of the costs per slot while retaining a similar weekly capacity.

COSCO Shipping’s container shipping business posted a net loss of $25M in 1H 2018, compared to a net profit of $147M in the same period last year.
Operating margin (Core EBIT after deduction for subsidies) slipped to 0.6%, compared to 3.1% 1H 2017. The deterioration in earnings was due mainly to weak
freight rates, which fell by 2.5% on COSCOS’s international routes and by 7.5% on its domestic routes. Total liftings increased by 12.4% to 11.235 MTEU in 1H
2018, compared to 1H 2017.
CMA CGM has reported operating profits of $67M in Q2, 2018, a deterioration from the $88M posted in Q1, 2018 and the $472M reported in Q2, 2017. The
carrier managed to return a positive net profit of $23M during the quarter thanks to a foreign exchange gain of $123M during Q2 due to the appreciation of the
USD against the Euro. Net profits would have been negative in the absence of this adjustment. CMA CGM expects Q3, 2018 results to be significantly
improved from its first two quarters, but operating margins will still remain lower than last year. The deterioration in the Q2 results was due to an increase in
bunker costs, which carriers were unable to pass on to shippers. Average revenue in the Q2 was -2.0% lower compared to the same quarter last year while
operating costs per TEU increased by 6.6%. CMA CGM’s container lifting's increased by 9.6% to a record of 5.2MTEU in Q2, 2018, due to capacity growth in its
OCEAN Alliance network, as well as the launch of new services and upgraded, with significant gains on the Middle East and Africa trades.
PIL has reported a net loss of -$141M in 1H 2018, compared to a net profit of $11M 1H 2017. PIL’s shipping operations accounted for $1,251M or 56% of the
Group’s total turnover in the 1H 2018. Shipping revenue increased by 2% while container liftings increased by 5% during the period, with average rates falling
due to severe market competition. Shipping expenses increased by 17% due mainly to the increase in bunker price, resulting in the significant drop in
operating margins.
Maersk has opted for a unified brand name, ‘Sealand – A Maersk Company’, to market the services currently offered by Seago Line (Intra Europe trades), MCC
Transport (Intra-Far East trades) and SeaLand (Intra-Americas). The rebranding is aimed to reduce complexity towards customers thanks to a simpler brand
identity. The three regional carriers are to continue their activities and operations unchanged as only the companies’ names are changed. The rebranding
will be effective from 1 Oct 2018 : MCC Transport to become ‘Sealand Asia – A Maersk Company’, SeaLand to become ‘Sealand Americas – A Maersk Company’
and Seago Line to become ‘Sealand Europe & Med – A Maersk Company’. Sealand – A Maersk Company will operate independently from Maersk and the existing
structure of three teams in three locations reporting to their regional CEOs will remain unchanged.

The majority of containership owners still appears undecided on how to
achieve compliance with the new IMO 2020 regulation.
Interest in LNG propulsion remains limited so far due to high upfront
investments and uncertainties regarding the yet unproven gas bunkering
infrastructure.
Interest in exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as scrubbers, has picked
up significantly in recent months. Despite investment costs of 5-10m USD
per ship, the relatively short payback period for scrubbers has proven
sufficiently attractive for some ship-owners.
Still, the total number of scrubber-fitted vessels will remain at a fraction of the
global container fleet of more than 5’300 ships. Therefore, the vast majority
of these will need to switch to low-sulphur fuel, with operators facing higher
fuel bills as a result.

Bookings are now out about 2 weeks.
AMNO – SSA Rates to South Africa and West Africa will increase in October. Capacity is stable and space available. Hamburg Sud joined the direct service
from USA to South Africa in August (Direct Service is currently shared by Maersk/Safmarine/MSC).
AMNO – AMLA Capacity to WCSA continues to be very tight. GRI’s pending to WCSA and Fuel rising slightly.
AMLA Exports
Roll over and space constraints affecting entire region. MX/BR/SAWC region facing port omissions and backlogs (Market Restructuring, BR
Strike backlog, Weather). Serious congestion being faced in T/Shipment ports like CTG, BUN and MIT. Shippers are strongly urged to provide
forecasts 6-8 weeks out. Carriers suspending service temporarily on trades effected by congestion. GRI’s and Emergency Fuel surcharges
announced daily on all trade. F/Time/Drop off conditions coming with a cost.
AMNO – ASPA FMC is currently reviewing proposal from carriers to remove one of two direct services for USA to Oceania trade. The proposal (if approved)
would go into effect during Q4 and would remove PNW loop, while stretching the PSW string to include those ports in one call.
