Ship Finance Forum 2019 - Dubai | Marine Money International | 14 March 2019 | Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Rd - Dubai - UAE

In most shipping sectors there is some alignment of supply and demand and the expectation is that the next two years should see
improved rates. Dampening the outlook is the price of oil, higher interest rates, tariffs and uncertain politics and new regulation
which will affect all in the industry. So although shipping seems to have corrected its woes in terms of oversupply, a host of
external factors are now making the investment decision as hard as ever.

The oil price has been disappointing for the offshore industry. Off the highs of 2018 projections for 2019 and 2020 are now
between $60 - $70. However, the oil price rose at a time that the production cost fell so there is more free cash flow and 2019 is
likely to be the best year for E&P companies for many years. What affect will this have on utilization across the offshore asset
types and how will the Gulf region benefit?

The traditional shipping banks are shying away from all but the strongest clients but exciting is the plethora of new finance options
for the industry. From debt funds and Chinese leasing, to boutique financiers and shares for ships. The shipping finance arena has
never been more diverse and there is finance for every deal – though borrowers may have to become accustomed to new realities
in pricing and terms.
