Earnings & Market Factors
Q2 – Average Market earnings / Marex
■ VLCC (TD3) : $ 8,000/day (Q1-13: $1,250/day)
■ Suezmax (TD5) : $11,500/day (Q1-13: $12,500/day)
The Market:
■ Global refinery throughput remained low until April due to
spring maintenance and seasonally low demand before
increasing
■ According to IEA demand increased by 0.5 mb/d in Q2
compared to Q1
■ Global refinery crude demand surged by 3.1 mb/d in June,
its highest monthly increase on record
■ IEA expects oil demand to accelerate by 1.1 mb/d y/y in
2014 to compared to 0.9mb/d y/y increase in 2013
■ Ten VLCC newbuilding and six Suezmax were delivered
during the quarter
■ Five VLCC and no Suezmaxes were removed during the
quarter
■ Increased AG activity supported VLCC freight rates during
the second half of the quarter
■ Increased activity at west Africa and narrowing WTI/Brent
spread supported Suezmax rates

Outlook
General
■ Periods of increased volatility but not lasting long
enough to sufficiently increase earnings
■ Western VLCC demand remains disappointing making
triangulation trade challenging
■ Last year with extensive newbuilding deliveries
■ No scrapping despite a low market
■ 1999 was the first year with a substantial newbuilding
deliveries which means many vessels will turn 15 years
in 2014 and less preferable by larger charterers
– 29 VLCCS built in 1999, total 85 ships before 1999 or 13%
Market Update
Frontline
■ Fleet reduced to core fleet (long term leased in tonnage)
■ Will seriously consider the investment we have to make in
vessels which are more than 15 years old in order to take
the vessels through special survey
■ Frontline has two vessels coming up for special survey in
the second part of this year
■ Continued cost cutting
- Focus on speed and consumption
- Keep slim management
■ Monitoring the situation and looking for opportunities to
restructure the balance sheet and improve the Company’s
financial position
