The Changing Calculus of the Tanker Market
The Evolving Study of the Global Marine Transport System for Crude Oil &
Refined Products
“When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know
something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager
and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in
your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.”
- William Thomson Kelvin - 1824-1907
Calculus:
A system or arrangement of intricate or interrelated parts

refined products
Thesis: The tanker market is a classic operations research challenge ~
greater quantitative analysis is not only possible but a necessary step in
better understanding the global marine transport system and its drivers

► At a global level, marine
transportation demand is highly
correlated to world trade which is
directly related to the world
economy: Demand for crude oil and
petroleum products grows with an
expanding global economy
► Marine transportation demand for
tankers is a derived demand, it
arises from the energy consumption
requirements of regional economies
► Petroleum product marine transportation demand arises from matching
consumption with refined product production in refining regions and crude
oil marine transportation demand for tankers arises from matching
refinery raw materials requirements with crude oil production

Tanker Demand
Global Economic Context
►
Global economy continues to recover from the 2009 financial crisis
►
Drivers of growth switching to mature economies, especially US
►
2014 world GDP growth of 3.7%, mature economies 2.2% and
emerging economies 5.1%: With world GDP growth rising, world
energy use will grow by 56% between 2010 & 2040; half of the
increase is attributed to China and India
►
Renewable energy and nuclear power are the world’s fastest-growing
energy sources, each increasing by 2.5% per year; however, fossil
fuels continue to supply almost 80% of world energy use through 2040
►
Oil market fundamentals suggest a moderation of crude price
increases in the near future in the absence of geopolitical influences
►
Natural gas is the fastest growing fossil fuel in the outlook, supported
by increasing supplies of shale gas, particularly in the US

Tanker Demand
Global Ton-Mile Demand | Crude and Residual Fuels | 2000-2013
►
The vast majority of tanker
demand originates from the
movement of crude and
residual fuels
►
Since 2000, demand for crude
oil and residual fuels transport
has averaged a compound
annual growth rate of 0.42%,
growing 1.8% during the
period 2000-2008 then
contracting (1.9%) from 2008

The evolving trade matrix will
bring incremental changes to
total tanker demand

Regional Production | North America
►
►
US crude oil production volumes
declined steadily between 1990s
and 2008: 2008 production
volumes lowest level since 1946 ~
5 million b/d
►
Robust geological data, developed
transport infrastructure, slow &
steady investment into fracking
technology and the resulting lower
US $/barrel extraction cost
boosted production
►
Forecasted production in 2015
would make the highest level
since 1972
US exports? At some point, yes, but unlikely in 2014 and nominal in any
case ~ However, increase in re-exports requests could raise Canadian
volumes in 2014

US Transportation Logistics
►
Bakken Rail deliveries to the Northeast expected to average
315,000 b/d in 2014 at about US$ 12-14/bbl
►
Up to 500,000 b/d of rail delivery capacity could be online in 2015 to
the West Coast ~ Cost is roughly US $9/bbl to transport to
Washington state and US $10/bbl to the state of California
►
Expanded West Coast capacity will boost consumption of Canadian
and Bakken crudes
►
1Q2014 rail deliveries of crude to California averaged 15,700 b/d as
compared to 7,700 b/d during 3Q2013
►
Gulf Coast expansion project will eventually deliver 700,000 b/d
from Cushing, Oklahoma to USG – flows started January 2014
►
Another 450,000 b/d of delivery Seaway pipeline coming online in
1H 2014 ~ taking total capacity to 850,000 b/d

Effects of US Shale Play
►
US industrial production expected to increase by 3.5% by end of
decade and by almost 4% by 2025 on back of reduced energy costs
►
Manufacturing output will rise by US $258 billion in 2020 and US $328
billion in 2025
►
US consumers are also projected to benefit through reduced
household utility costs: 2012 disposable income rose by US $1,200
per home and could increase to US $2,700 by 2020
►
Estimates are that in 2012 shale extraction contributed to some 2.1
million jobs and US $75 billion in federal and state taxes: Revenue
provided to US Government could reach nearly US $140 billion by
2025
►
US GDP growth forecast at 2.8% in 2014 and 3.0% in 2015

US Shale Play Downside Risks
► July 2013 rail car tragedy in Lac-Megantic, Quebec; December 2013
explosion in North Dakota; and January 2014 derailment in
Philadelphia driving additional scrutiny on industry – 8 in the past year,
last one in Lynchburg, Virginia just last week
►
New legislation, equipment standards or operating restrictions have
the potential to slow crude-by-rail deliveries (DOT -111)
►
Transport capacity bottlenecks in pipeline and rail continue to throttle
deliveries below potential
►
“Flash” production profile of shale oil wells require sustained drilling of
new wells – production sustainability estimating not well developed
►
Lack of tie-backs for gas handling increasing flaring in North Dakota
►
Pushback from landowners, environmentalists, legislators could slow
the growth trajectory
►
Lack of skilled labor becoming a constraint

Various exit profiles may apply
to the trading fleet, depending
on a number of factors
►
Minimal fleet growth
corresponds to a pre-15 year
exit profile (before the 3rd
special survey); maximum
growth to a pre-5th special
survey (25 years)
►
An average fleet growth
assumption uses pre-4th
special survey as the exit point,
or, in the case of VLCCs, a
conversion requirement of
about 15 vessels per year

VLCC Additions, Deletions, Trading Fleet | 2001-2018

Driven by lack of newbuilding
orders, VLCC fleet growth is

►
A widespread adoption of a 15year exit profile would have a
substantial effect on the
average fleet inventory in the
near future (87 less vessels
over 4 years as compared to
20-year exit profile)
►
Increased freight rates may
lead to a resumption of
ordering which would drive the
sector towards oversupply

over the next few years
►
A widespread adoption of a
15-year exit profile would see

Summary
►
The tanker market is a classic operations research challenge ~ greater
quantitative analysis is not only possible but a necessary step in better
understanding the global marine transport system and its drivers
►
Tanker demand is driven by world trade which in turn is a function of
economic growth | Economic recovery is underway and is increasingly
driven by OECD nations | Global GDP revised up slightly (0.1) to 3.7%
►
Oil demand should rebound by approximately 1.1 million b/d throughout
forecast period and 1.3 million b/d in 2014
►
New US crude streams will continue to change the global oil trade
matrix & US crude oil exports will become a reality, but not in 2014
►
We expect tanker ton-mile demand to be modest over the next few
years: ~ 1.5% for crude/DPP and 2.1% for CPP in 2014
►
VLCC supply outlook can be characterized as improving
►
Clean tanker supply rising strongly in 2015 & 2016 and a massive
surge of MR2 orders will pressure market fundamentals
►
Gas may be the game-changer for tankers
