In the last issue of Quarterly I opened
by saying that I was concerned about
our profitability. Today, three months
later, I am no less concerned. Our
markets have not improved, and the
uncertainty associated with the alleged recovery of the world economy
does not seem changed. Most of the
experts and media write about the upturn of the stock markets but, even so,
the pessimists talk about this being a
bubble, soon to be punctured, basically because the upturn is unsustainable. I hope the pessimists wrong and
that physical trading will increase, but
at the same time realize we have to
prepare for a negative scenario.
Another aspect that has added to my
concern is that we have again seen
some costly incidents. During the
last two months or so we have had a
grounding, a collision and a serious
machinery (rudder) break-down; the
latter resulting in as much as 45 days
off-hire. I’m being told nobody in our
organization can be blamed for these
incidents, but that makes you wonder!
If these types of incidents are things
we have to live with, that means our
type of business is extremely risky and;
it goes without saying that we are not
even close to being equitably compensated for our services.
Together with our Board of Directors in
October we had an important strategy
session and, just recently, we also presented and got approval of our budget
for 2010. Both meetings were well prepared and documented, so my thanks
and credit to those of you involved for
the hard and detailed work associated
hereto. But you are probably more interested in the outcome? Well, both the
strategy and the budget meetings were

influenced by the fact that we are in
the midst of the most severe crisis seen
in shipping since the 70’ies. And let
there be no doubt: accordingly we are
strongly impacted, and we will have
to continue our search for cost saving
measures. Additionally we will have to
reduce our fleet, basically by shedding
some old and loss-making tonnage,
besides, a continuous streamlining of
our huge organization.
So with all indications pointing in
one and the same direction, namely
that 2010 is going to be a difficult and
challenging year (with our updated
strategy and budgets being a reflection thereof) you may wonder what
this means to you? In the last issue
of Quarterly I said that we all have to
work harder and smarter. And you
know already that I’m committed to
QHSE and that of our being super efficient, and that of trimming our sails
in general. My concern is that we seem
to have launched a number of systems
and documents recently without being able to create sufficient enthusiasm and involvement by all. This is
something we clearly need to change
during the course of 2010. In January therefore, we are going to launch
a special campaign with the purpose,
to cater for and collect suggestions for
improvements. The campaign will be
named “Value for Money”, the idea being that we want each and every one
of you to tell us about ways, individually as you see it, that may help Odfjell
become more efficient. I’m convinced
that you all see and know about things
that can be done, so stay tuned to this
campaign! And by the way: Good ideas
will of course be rewarded.
Otherwise I have to admit I have not
been able to live up to my ambition,
that of prior to the end of the year to
spend another sea voyage onboard one
of our ships. The excuse is of course
that it has been all too hectic here
recently. But despite being a little delayed, I’m at least targeting as of today
to join the Bow Saga from Algeciras to
Rotterdam the early part of January.
2009 will soon be history. Having the
benefit of hind site it is obvious that
we entered the year on a too optimistic
note, and therefore that we would have
acted differently, at least in some areas,
if we had better predicted what was to
come. But we have learned a lot, and
will have to bring that experience with
us into the future since, if you were in
any doubt, there will also be a future.
Whilst pessimistic, especially about
our shipping services, the more long
term picture remains positive, with the
anticipation of solid growth of demand
for our type of services for many years
to come. So from my point of view it’s
more a question about “when” as opposed to “if” our markets will turn
more favourable, and thus make Odfjell a profitable business. In the meantime, our tank terminalling prospects
seem keeping up.
On that note, I wish to thank each and
every one of you for your hard work
and contributions during 2009. During 2010 I hope that we will be able to
enhance our operating platform, and
to prepare for the longer future. In the
meantime, stay safe and, I wish you
and your families a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season.
Regards,
Jan A. Hammer, President/CEO

HIGHlightS ODFJELL QUARTERLY magazine
Odfjell weather routing trial findings:
- Concept trial run autumn 2008
- Three Odfjell vessels tested external
weather routing
- Used feedback from masters when
establishing procedures to Odfjell
requirements
- Reporting should be kept to a minimum
- Route recommendations will be
made visual
- External weather routing shall be an
assistance to the master – not an extra
burden.
- IMO and DnV:
Weather routing generates 2-5% fuel
savings
- Vessels using external weather routing
experience more calm weather than on
non-routed voyages.
Weather routing potential yearly:
4
4,000-20,000 tonnes reduction in fuel
consumption
Emission savings of 60,000 tonnes of CO²
Emission saving of 1,100 tonnes of SO²
Calm weather eases the voyage
The experts at ATW consist of meteorologists, oceanographers and former masters
Erik Hjortland, Fleet Performance Analyst.
Saving fuel and the environment
- Odfjell introduces external weather routing
By Margrethe Gudbrandsen
- Weather routing will probably save
Odfjell between 4,000-20,000 metric
tons of fuel annually, representing a cost
reduction in the million dollar range
and also substantially lowering our CO²
and SO² emissions, says Erik Hjortland,
Odfjell Fleet Performance Analyst.
In September, Odfjell decided to use weather routing for voyages longer than five days
with start-up in November/December.
Safer sailing route
Weather routing assists the master in finding a safe and efficient sailing route and
thus, reaching the highest fuel efficiency
during transit between two ports. By us-
ing weather routing vessels will navigate
to avoid heavy streams, high sea and rough
weather, thereby also giving a safer journey
to crew, cargo and vessel.
Today the Odfjell managed vessels use an on
board weather routing software programme
called MetManager. The master receives
information such as weather and current
forecasts, and plans the route based on such
information. - MetManager is a very good
tool, but the data resolution is lower than
what a weather routing company can offer. This is mainly because of the enormous
amounts of data being processed to generate this kind of resolution, which the on
board computer cannot store and process.
w w w . odfjell . com
This is one of the reasons why we will start
using external routing, says Hjortland.
External routing
External weather routing is conducted by
large organizations manned around the
clock all year long, solely focusing on analyzing and processing weather and currents
data. Based on this they recommend optimal routes. The supplier we have chosen,
Applied Weather Technology (AWT), derives
weather data from a large number of official
meteorological sources. AWT`s expert staff,
with extensive experience in all ocean basins
and with all major ship types, interprets and
brings these data together to provide the
best possible weather routing information
and guidance to assist ship masters from
initial planning to the end of a voyage. - It
has been very important to us that the route
recommendations provided to our masters
shall not be based on a computer generated
route alone. The experts at AWT, consisting
of meteorologists, oceanographers and former masters, therefore add a very important
human touch to this. It is the combination
of MetManager and the external weather
routing that will provide the best value for
money, says Hjortland. Vessels on external
management will therefore be offered to
install a similar software as MetManager,
called BVS.
Optional use
The route recommendations from AWT will,
together with text explaining the rationale
behind it, be forwarded to the ships as files
ready to be visualised in MetManager/BVS.
The master can then run weather forecast
and simulations in MetManager/BVS to
check and validate the recommended route.
Whether he chooses to reject the route, to
adjust it or to use it as it is, AWT will be there
to assist and support by issuing weather
forecasts during the voyage. If necessary
they will also provide updates to the route
recommendation. - The key here is communication and trust, and masters have access
to AWT`s 24 –hour Master Hotline, for discussions and advise, states Hjortland.
Masters need experience
So far only three Odfjell vessels have tested
external weather routing and thus, the experiences are yet limited. - Several captains welcome such a system, especially now that we
have made adjustments in the procedures,
making the tools simpler to use and reduce
the time spent on planning an optimal route.
On the other hand, some captains still seem
to believe that they will be routed into more
rough weather, thus giving less time at sea for
deck maintenance. However, by comparing
actual voyages completed by our vessels with
the routes recommended by weather routing
companies, we find that the recommended
routes in general are in areas with more favourable weather conditions. Obviously one
cannot always have calm weather, but AWT
will strive to find the best available conditions as this improves our vessels’ speed performance, explains Hjortland.
Customers’ requirements
The increasing awareness of the global cliodfjell quarterly maga z ine
mate impact of greenhouse gases, and CO²
in particular, is a factor when selecting the
less environmentally detrimental way of
transportation. - Our customers will appreciate that we become more fuel-efficient as
a result of our use of weather routing services. The safety aspect is an added benefit,
Hjortland points out.
Limited but
positive experience
So far few Odfjell captains have tried out the
new external weather routing service. Captain Jan Kåre Næss on Bow Sea has tried external weather routing three times. The two
first times ten years ago with another provider where the experience was not that good.
The third time he tried the service with ATW
with a much better result. - Their first choice
of route I rejected, but I have to admit that
they gave a splendid service so far with the
route I chose, Næss says.

Tanks at Oiltanking Odfjell Terminal Singapore
Bow Arar was the first vessel to call the new Jetty 10 at OOTS
New storage capacity
in Singapore
By Bay Chin Hao
In September this year, Oiltanking Odfjell
Terminal Singapore (OOTS) successfully
completed the final phase of its expansion. The tank farm Chem 6, comprising 18 tanks ranging from 1,600 to 6,700
cbm and with a total capacity of 59,800
cbm, was commissioned, bringing OOTS’
overall storage capacity to 365,000 cbm.
This expansion of over 150,000 cbm represents an increase of capacity of more
than 70%, thereby attaining improved
economies of scale that will also benefit
our customers.
Plus a new jetty
A new jetty (Jetty 10), designed with a maximum displacement of 55,000 Dwt, was also
added to support the additional business
associated with the expansion. OOTS’ configuration and capabilities have been en-
hanced and as a result, now offers an even
more comprehensive range of tank sizes in
a variety of designs, capable of handling a
wide range of chemical products. The ample
waterfront with five jetties up to 80,000 Dwt
maximum displacement, makes the terminal well equipped to serve the surrounding
petrochemical industry and the break bulk
and hub needs of producers and traders
alike.
Broad services
Situated at the southeast tip of Jurong Island
in the Seraya/Merbau sector, OOTS is ideally located to support the earmarked ethylene oxide and propylene oxide corridor and
other petrochemical plants in the vicinity
and beyond. To help ensure that OOTS continues to play a valuable and efficient role in
the industry, it has strengthened its portfolio
of services at the truck loading bays and its
jetties in particular. Its efficient waterfront
is supplemented by various ship services
including bunker supply by pipeline and
double banking capability, the only location
in Singapore approved by the Singapore
Marine Port Authority for such an activity.
OOTS remains committed to continually
strive to optimize its assets and add value to
the industry.
With the growing needs of the petrochemical industry in general and in particular the
focus of Middle Eastern producers on Asia
Pacific, OOTS shall strive to remain a valuable and reliable partner to serve both the
likes of chemical downstream production
plants and companies who choose Singapore as their hub for Southeast Asia, India,
South China and beyond.

new jetty
in Singapore
By Jone Abotnes
The new Jetty 10 at OOTS can accommodate
vessels up to 55,000 Dwt displacement, maximum LOA 200 metres and a beam of up to
32.5 metres. The maximum draft is 12.5 metres. Presently the jetty can handle up to ten
product grades simultaneously. The berth
will also be handling propylene gas in the
near future. The new jetty is equipped with
the following shore lines for cargo handling:
• 15 x 6” lines
• 5 x 8” lines
• 1 x 12” line
• 1 x 4” line for receiving MARPOL
required prewash
• 3 x 6” vapor return lines, of which
one is made of stainless steel
Three of the cargo lines are made of stainless steel.
The jetty is constructed with a double sump
system: one wet sump for receiving rain water and surface run-off water, and one dry
sump for receiving chemicals drained from
the various drain points on the shoreline for
cleaning and draining purposes.
A more flexible terminal
As with the two existing jetties, Jetty 11 and
Jetty 12, Jetty 10 will also be able to deliver
heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil
(MDO) ex-pipe. This will expand the terminal’s capacity to quickly and safely provide any ship calling the three docks with
quality bunkers. Jetty 10 will also be able to
handle double banking for direct ship-toship cargo transfer, identical to Jetty 11 and
Jetty 12. The three jetties are interconnected
by loop lines, which allows the terminal to
handle cargoes for a range of customers at
odfjell quarterly maga z ine
one single berth. The terminal will be able
to supply fuel to vessels concurrently with
cargo operations at all three berths. This
greatly enhances the operational flexibility
and efficiency and thus, minimizes possible
congestion on the jetties and reduces port
time for the ships. Jetty 10 will be connected
to the bunker system early 2010.
The new jetty will, as the other jetties, also
be able to provide vessels with fresh water
and nitrogen for tank purging purposes.
Furthermore, it is now also possible for the
ships to take on board stores and provisions
while alongside OOTS’ jetties 10, 11 and 12,
pending prior application and approval.

increased our equity ratio to 30.7%.
A historic day at OTR
By Theo Kruithof
After several years of development, on
October 7 the new Quay 11 at Odfjell
Terminals Rotterdam (OTR) was officially
inaugurated, as the product tanker
Salamis moored alongside the new quay.
The project has almost been a back breaker
for many. Even during the last couple of
weeks before the completion intense efforts
were made to finalize the project and
get the quay mechanically complete and
operationally ready.
Ready for action
Finally the day had come. Standing in
anticipation Odfjell spectators witnessed
the accurate job of the harbour pilot, as the
vessel was safely moored. The shear wall
of an empty 183 metres long tanker really
impressed the spectators alongside. Once
the ship was securely fastened, OTR’s Shift
A enthusiastically started connecting the
loading arm and vapour return hose, a job
done in no-time. Few hours later, the first
product transfer at Quay 11 was initiated.
Important development
- This new berth is of great importance for
our Rotterdam terminal. The terminal’s
throughput and waterfront activities have
substantially increased during the last
couple of years, causing over-utilization
Odfjell’s third quarter 2009 net result was
a loss of USD 6 million. Tank terminals
continue to perform very well, partly
on solid demand for storage globally
and partly on increased capacity. The
parcel tankers earnings are challenged
by an extremely weak market for clean
petroleum products and increased bunker
costs.
of our existing jetties. With this new berth
we expect to shorten turnaround times of
ships, reduce demurrages and improve our
service. The OTR management wishes to
thank and recognize all employees involved
for their determination and perseverance to
successfully bring this challenging project
from initial idea to initiation of operation,
says Mr. Geert Eijsink, Managing Director of
Odfjell Terminals (Rotterdam) B.V.
Uncertain outlook
The global economic outlook continues
uncertain. - In our industry, with an oversupply of chemical tankers, higher bunker
prices and a devaluing dollar, we find it
difficult to predict much improvement in
the short term. Most of our customers talk
about several years of low growth, even
though some of our tradelanes are doing
reasonably well. The balance between supply
and demand will likely start to improve
in the second half of next year, through a
combination of increased demand, of vessel
recycling and cancellation of vessels on
order, says Haakon Ringdal, CFO.
The tank terminals around the world are still
going strong. This is expected to continue
next year and with the additional terminal
capacity coming on stream, 2010 will likely
become better, helping along a positive
overall company bottom line.
Odfjell bond issue
Odfjell has been present in the bond market
since 2005. Today we have three bonds in
the market, two NOK bonds maturing in
2010 and 2011, and one SGD bond maturing
late 2011. As the financial markets have

Record low sick leave
rate at sea

Kværner goes Marimation
The sick leave rate among Odfjell’s
Northwest European seafarers is now
record low, with an average sick leave rate
of 3.7%. As a comparison, this is nearly half
the average for Norway during the second
quarter of 2009.
New engine monitoring and control system for the Kværner Class
By Gunnar Eide
The first five Kværner vessels were all
originally equipped with an Autronica engine automation system to monitor and
control the main engine, the auxiliary
engines and other systems in the engine
room. Today these systems are soon 15
years and difficult to maintain due to lack
of knowledge among service technicians
around the world and spare parts that are
both expensive and hard to find.
Developed in close cooperation
Late 2008 Odfjell Ship Management signed a
contract with the Swedish company Marimation AB, to deliver and install their automation
system VL1 to these five ships. The first vessel,
Bow Flower, got the system installed during
drydock in Bahrain last June. Bow Riyad,
Bow Mekka, Bow Clipper and Bow Fagus will
follow during their respective drydockings in
2010. The VL1 system was developed in close
cooperation with the Odfjell Ship Management Technology Section. To get a system
that is simple and easy to maintain at a low
cost, it is based on regular industry standards
widely used around the world. The main program runs on a SAIA PLC and the user interface is programmed in WonderWare.

the new monitoring system is also kept as
close to the old system as possible. Alarms
come up on the screens in the same manner
as before, so the crew can start using the system right away.
Few problems
In October, after running the system on
board Bow Flower for three months, we had
an evaluation meeting on board. The crew
had experienced few start-up difficulties and
surprisingly few problems after installation.
This is quite an achievement, as it is rather
a complex upgrade involving more than 500
sensors reconnected to the system.
The system is operated in the same way as
the old one, applying two displays in the

World-wide pandemic
flu assessment
In order to get an overview of the current
pandemic situation, a pandemic flu assessment was sent to all Odfjell locations
world-wide. The response was very uplifting with only Headquarters in Bergen
having any reported cases. It is also important to note that the cases in Bergen
have been of such a small scale that it has
not been interrupting the daily running of
the business. As these results are per mid
November, an update will be requested
from all locations in the beginning of December.
- There may be several reasons for the positive development, but close follow-up and
dialog with those on sick leave and measures
to foster an including working environment
are important causes, says Amanda Aksnes,
Social and Welfare Officer at the Crewing section in Bergen.
what is happening both at work and at home,
says Aksnes.
An including working environment
The concept of an including working environment originates from the cooperation
agreement with the Norwegian Labour and
Welfare Administration to foster a better
work environment. The idea behind this
agreement, which Odfjell Maritime Services
AS signed already at the beginning of 2008, is
to turn a trend with an increasing number of
people taking long-term sick leaves or leaving the workforce entirely.
Sick leave follow-up
Odfjell’s Northwest European seafarers on
sick leave are being closely followed up by
the Social and Welfare Officer through meetings, telephone calls, e-mails and sms messages, even more than what is mandated by
the government. Close cooperation between
the company and the seafarers is crucial for
finding solutions to avoid sick leaves and to
minimise time off. - In our contact with the
mariners it is important to see the whole person, to understand feelings, emotions and
reactions, and also to take into consideration
The Including Working Environment
agreement shall contribute to:
• Improved working environment to
the benefit of the individual employees,
the organisation and the society in general
• Reduced sick leave and less people
on disability pensions
• Better use and development of the
individual person’s resources and capacity
in active work

The new version of the Odfjell website will
go live mid December. The new corporate
website will have a new graphical design,
with a restructured and updated content.
– We will constantly improve the website
as the technology we have chosen allows
us to further develop our Odfjell Website
when we like, says Margrethe Gudbrandsen, Communication Manager.

A more vivid information
sharing intranet
Our vision for the new intranet is
that it should be the most important
common and efficient communication
channel for employees at Odfjell. To
reach this vision an intranet editorial
committee has been established.

Soon ready for a new intranet
These days Odfjell’s new intranet is under development. Odfjell Quarterly has
spoken with Project Manager Arne S.
Helgesen of the ICT Business Application
group, to learn more about the project.
First of all, why do we replace
the existing intranet?
- Actually we are replacing three intranets,
the local intranets at the terminals in Rotterdam and Houston and the corporate intranet and merging them into one. There
are two main reasons for introducing a new
intranet: Firstly, the current technical solu-
Project Manager Arne Sletten Helgesen.
tion is outdated. Secondly we are aiming at
building one common intranet platform for
the entire Odfjell organization. We believe
the new intranet portal offers the potential to increase the users’ ability to perform
their jobs faster, more accurately, and with
confidence that they have the correct information. Hence, in addition to introduce this
first release we need to look at how the intranet is managed, content ownership is the
key here, says Helgesen.
Progressive development
The new intranet will enhance all the functionalities we have on the existing intranet,
but we are not closing the door on new
functionalities. - Our goal is to keep development costs at a minimum. By doing so we
make the scope more manageable and we
also think this is a reasonable large step for
Odfjell. Our philosophy is to move forward
with several smaller steps, rather than one
huge leap, explains Helgesen.
What can you tell us about the technical
solution?
- The new system is built on the platform
SharePoint 2007 from Microsoft. The positive effects from using a platform rather than
developing it from scratch are many, but in
short it is cost effective and has proved to be
more reliable. It also makes future upgrades
more straightforward, informs Helgesen.
A cost effective project
How is it to run a project during times
when we are looking into all options
for reducing costs?
- We have made several adjustments in order to make the project most cost effective.
For instance we are limiting travelling to a
bare minimum. Instead we are using Microsoft Live Meetings that lets us share video,
sound and applications, which has proved
to be very effective.
The objective of this committee is to
make the content on the intranet vivid,
securing the effectiveness of the communication channel through important
updates and information as well as using
it as a culture builder within the Odfjell
group. The committee consists of eight
members from the head office in Bergen representing different departments,
with correspondents in Rotterdam,
Houston and Singapore. The main task
is to share news from the whole organisation; meaning news from bottom-up,
top-down and across the organisation.
The committee meets every forth-night
and agrees on an editorial plan for the
next two weeks.
– We will appreciate that employees
share their information and news
whether it is about a new project, goal
achievements, success stories etc., says
Margrethe Gudbrandsen, Communication Manager in Odfjell.
Odfjell intranet and daily internet
news on board
By Gunnar Eide
The need for being updated on company
information and daily news is of course
the same on board as ashore. As a consequence, Odfjell Ship Management has
started a project together with Odfjell ICT
department to replicate Odfjell intranet
and a few internet based news services
on board.
The news replication service gives us the

this to get a better integration between information systems on board and ashore.
tional and local news. Captain Monrad Solli
on board Bow Favour confirms this, saying
that the news service is both used and appreciated on board. However, he would also
like to see more applications working on the
intranet portal, like Otis and crew lists. The
replication service can be extended with
more or other news services, but the goal
is first to get the service on board. Our ICT
support co-workers in Houston, Singapore
and Rotterdam will do their best to make
sure that all Odfjell managed vessels will get
the news service installed on board as soon
as possible.

More news
In addition to providing vessels with the
Odfjell intranet, we have chosen to replicate
the mobile editions of the international BBC
News, the Norwegian Aftenposten and the
Philippine Inquirer. We think this is a good
combination covering most of the interna-
BBC news front page as it is presented on board.
Soon ready
Finally, when can we expect to see
the new intranet?
- The project team is right now in a very
challenging phase where we focus both on
the new website and the new intranet. We
plan to have the solution ready by the end
of January 2010. However, before launching
the new intranet we need to test it and train
support staff and members of the editorial
committee. In addition we have to migrate
the content from the existing to the new intranet. In total we expect to use a minimum
of six weeks, which means that we plan to go
live with the new intranet mid March next
year.
A new name for the new
Odfjell intranet?
The intranet editorial committee invites
all employees in Odfjell to suggest what
the name of the new Odfjell intranet
should be. Please send it to: margrethe.

Bow Master and Bow Cedar during ship to ship operation in Ulsan
Flawless operation in Ulsan
In September Bow Master and Bow Cedar had a swift and successful discharge
of Hexamethylenediamine 98% (HMD) in
Ulsan. Thanks to excellent cooperation
between the Odfjell crew, Odfjell operations, the Odfjell terminal and the agency, Odfjell could do a rush transportation
for our customer Invista.
The cargo HMD was originally loaded on
board Bow Cedar, but as the HMD suddenly
was needed urgently in a plant in Singapore
FACT
• HMD is produced from adiponitrile.
• Main use is for special polymers such
as Nylon and Kevlar.
• HMD is very sensitive to oxygen.
to maintain its production, Odfjell had to
turn around quickly and offered Bow Master for the transfer. Hence a ship to ship operation between Bow Cedar and Bow Master
had to take place.
Excellent teamwork
Prior to the ship to ship operation, the Odfjell Operations and Chartering departments both at Bergen and Singapore, exchanged information with Invista for best
location and safest handling. When location
was decided, Invista appointed Sam Ford in
ChemCoast as their supervisor. ChemCoast,
Odfjell Terminal Korea (OTK) and the Odfjell Korea, Ulsan agent established contact
and settled various operational issues and
requirements.
Just in time
Bow Master arrived well prepared, and
passed with only minor comments during
the ChemCoast inspection wherafter she
left OTK for anchorage, waiting for Bow Cedar. The day came and Bow Cedar arrived
well prepared for the operation. After a successful ship to ship operation Bow Master
sailed for Singapore and delivered the cargo
in best manner and quality, just in time.
Everything is possible
- I would like to thank all involved in this
operation. It shows that our company has
expertise and the necessary right spirit of all
levels. This enables us to show our customers that we can do more or less what they
request, even if it is very challenging, says
Jan Harald Otterskred, Odfjell’s Port Captain
in Northeast Asia.
Bow Cecil was initially equipped with a
conventional camshaft operated engine
“C”. However, in addition the required “E”
equipment was also installed, making it
possible to alternate between conventional
and electronic engine control. In November
2000 the “E” system was put into service,
whereby the ship had the first two stroke
main engines in the world making it possible
to electronically control fuel injection and
exhaust valves. In 2007, after 35,000 hours
of service, the trial “E” system approached
the end of its lifetime. As the lifetime initially was expected to be 15,000, the additional
20,000 hours convinced Odfjell to go for
a permanent “E” solution. Consequently,
Odfjell and MAN B&W started discussing
plans and prospects for an improved main
engine control system. Early 2008, the new
ME-B concept (“E-B”) was ready, entailing
the same benefits as a regular “E” but also
offering some new and additional advantages. The “E-B” means electronically controlled fuel injection and camshaft operated exhaust valves, while on the E-engine
both aspects are controlled electronically,
only. The first initial steps towards the “E-B”
were taken during Bow Cecil’s second class
NR.04/ 09
Since delivery in 1998 M/T Bow Cecil has
been a trial-ship for the so called MEconcept (“E”) developed by the engine
builder, MAN B&W. The “E” concept allows the main engine to run without a
camshaft in operation. On conventional
engines (“C”) the camshafts runs with
the engine, and physically operates fuel
injection and the exhaust valves.

renewal in Bahrain, October 2008. Outdated equipment from the trial “E” version
was removed from the engine room, and
new computers, main and auxiliary operational panels, cylinder lubricators with related equipment and main control cabinets
were installed and made ready. During sea
passages following the dry-docking, some
2,000 metres of new cabling were pulled,
strapped and connected. The electric/hydraulic power station was rebuilt and overhauled, giving new and higher rated motors
with improved capacity. To the starting air
distributor drive, double sets of encoders
for precise monitoring of crankshaft positioning were installed and connected.
Finally, in Rotterdam in August 2009 the
Main benefits of the ME-B system (compared to a “C” engine):
• Lower specific fuel oil consumption and better performance parameters thanks to variable
electronically controlled timing of the fuel injection. This also reduces the CO² emissions.
• Appropriate fuel injection pressure and rate shaping at any load.
• Improved emission characteristics, with lower NOx, and smokeless operation.
• Easy change of operating mode during operation.
• Control system with more precise timing, giving better engine balance with equalized
thermal load in and between cylinders.
• Lower rotational speed possible for manoeuvring.
• Integrated Alpha Cylinder Lubricators that give a considerably saving in cylinder oil consumption.
• As an additional upgrade of the engine fuel oil injection valves of latest design “Slide valves”
have been mounted to reduce carbon formations and emissions.
• The system is up-gradable to software development over the engine’s lifetime.
project was brought to its completion and
the engine started in its new mode. As
the system relies on the setting of some
1,500 different parameters, obviously finetuning was needed. However, within short
the world’s first conventional L60ME-B engine in service could be declared operative.
After leaving Rotterdam, the sea passage to
Tarragona was well used for further finetuning and adjustments.
The two engineers Lennart Wahl and Lars
Bye from MAN B&W have followed and
guided us in an excellent way throughout
the whole project. Odfjell would like to express sincere and well deserved thanks to
them both.

QHSE e-learning course
How has it been received so far?
By Åshild Hestetræet
In the June 2009 edition of Odfjell Quarterly you
could read about the new and updated Odfjell
Common Competence course, containing a new
chapter dealing with Quality, Health, Safety and
Environment (QHSE).
Training performance
record book
As the course has now been available for about
two months, we interviewed five employees
from different locations to learn if the course has
achieved its intended goal, which is to increase
the knowledge and awareness of QHSE in relation
to the daily work. A result will hopefully be fewer
accidents, less rework, high quality performance
and enhanced efficiency.

- Monitoring on board training and performance
By Candice Marie R. Calais
The questions
1. How has the course influenced your attitude
and perception of QHSE in relation to your work?
2. Are there any elements in the course that you
would like to emphasize, in which case what?
In a dynamic and fast paced industry as
seafaring, continuous training of crew on
board as well as ashore is a vital element
to ensure that our vessels are manned
with competent and qualified crew at all
times. In Odfjell, competence assessment, skill gap analysis and tailor made
training programmes provided to our
crew prior vessel assignment allow us to
meet the objectives.

1. It has taught me to think about
causes and effects globally - not only
locally, to look after my own safety
and care for my colleagues.
1. I have learned more about how
QHSE is performed in terminals
and on board ships, and have increased knowledge and understanding of what Odfjell adds to the
QHSE policy.
1. My awareness of QHSE has grown.
But QHSE is already a part of my attitude and not only in my work. I
would say that QHSE is an integrated
part of my daily thoughts.
1. I think safety every day, but this
course gives a clear and good reminder of how important it is to do
that.
1. I thought the course was very
informative, and I became confident that my work on board is
performed in a safe manner.
2. The way the course communicates the importance of keeping
focus on safety in relation to your
work.
2. This course shows in a good
way how important it is to follow all procedures on board.
This is a good way of reminding
everybody of the importance of
doing so and showing the possible consequences of not following procedures .
2. Experience feedback. Being a
small office we are sometimes unaware that an unusual incident has
occurred until it is over or when it is
mentioned on the intranet or published in the Quarterly. In particular
not a lot is said about how the risk or
incident was managed and resolved.
To broaden knowledge and awareness of potential risks and incidents,
it would be interesting to hear feedback from personnel assigned to assess and expedite resolutions.
2. I would like to point out the absence of linking the quality part of
the work performed by the office
personnel to the work performed
by the seafarers and terminal workers. In particular how this work has
a direct influence on the health and
safety of the seafarers and terminal
workers. This is also an important
part of the QHSE policy of the company as a whole, and I would have
liked to have this presented in the
course.
2. The course was good, but it is also
important that the crew of Odfjell
refreshes QHSE matters on a regular basis, and that we have regular
practical QHSE audits on the work
floor.
When Odfjell consolidated and strengthened its operations in the Philippines in
1999, we realized the need to identify and
monitor crew performance both for their
current rank and possible higher position.
The reference at that time was the Training
Record Book (TPRB) by the International
Shipping Federation (ISF) issued and limited to all cadets. As we consider hiring applicants for petty officer positions, especially electrician trainees, it became apparent
that a similar record book should be made
also for other positions. The intention was
that the crew should bring the checklist on
board, and the immediate superior/training
officer should use this checklist as a guide
to the crew’s familiarization and training
on board. As this exercise proved to be a
useful tool for electrician trainees, Odfjell
Academy expanded the checklist to a record
book for all petty officer positions including
deck and engine officer late 2006. This book
is now known as the Training Performance
Record Book (TPRB).
The TPRB was primarily established to provide a structured guide for crew who aim to
assume higher positions in the future within
the Odfjell fleet. The book further provides a
methodical approach in identifying the specific skills and knowledge areas that needs
to be further developed before promotion.
It is also used as a supplement for shore
management to record and monitor performance of the crew as he/she progresses
from current rank to the next.
Time for revising
In late 2008, Intertanko introduced the
Tanker Officers Training Standards (TOTS)
which basically aims to provide a systematic method of gaining specific experience at
different ranks and include various methods
to verify that experience, similar to Odfjell’s
TPRB. When TOTS and the Computer Based
Assessment were disseminated to member
companies in early 2009, it was timely for
Odfjell to slightly revise its TPRB. TPRBs
used today by our crew not only adhere
to the TOTS but also comply with Odfjell
standards and requirements.
As of date, we have retrieved 181 TPRBs
which were returned with completed entries. With this retrieval rate, we have committed to increase awareness among vessels, crew and other Odfjell offices in order
for the objectives and goals of the TPRB to
be met.

Microsoft Office Communicator
contrubutes to a more efficient communication.

Increasingly, people and teams are more
dispersed, working in different time
zones and communicating in different
ways. Knowing when and how to contact a
person can be challenging. In order to assist our staff in managing this challenge,
and also to offer free voice calls between
offices, Odfjell ICT will shortly be deploying Microsoft Office Communicator.
This software could be thought of as a corporate version of Yahoo Messenger and Skype.
The tool allows our staff to use a computer
headset to talk to each other for free over
our network, initially between Bergen, Rotterdam, Singapore and Houston. The other
offices will follow later.
Faster and efficient
Office Communicator allows us to see each
other’s “Presence information”, that is to say
if we are available, in a meeting or out of office. This is a very useful feature as it allows
you to see if your college or customer, if they
have Office Communicator, AOL, MSN or
Yahoo messenger, are online or busy, so you
can send an instant message or ask if they
are available to take a call. Massively reducing email traffic and allowing you to get to
the person you need in the shortest time,
aiding you in getting the information you
need to make a decision.
So when getting an email or document,
if you have questions you will be able to
immediately get answers to them if the
author is online.

Arne Sletten Helgensen In a meeting
Tor Jürgensen Avaliable
Thoroughly tested
We have been testing the solution in ICT
for some months and have had very good
feedback from the staff who have tested it
locally and abroad. All messages sent by the
system are encrypted and archived safely.
We are also testing the video capabilities of
the software, where you can have a video
conference right from your PC to any of the
other staff in the Odfjell cloud. This may be
a feature that is particularly useful for project groups. By using “Live meeting” it is possible to have a virtual meeting room to share
voice, video, files and presentations.
Our staff will be given training and advice on
how best to use the product before we roll
out the solution early next year. We hope the
tool provides an effective and simple way for
our customers to communicate, and that in
keeping with the current economic climate,
people will use the solution for free internal
calls in the Odfjell network.
Also on laptops
The software can also be installed on our
laptops, allowing staff the ability to call
into the office for free, when connected to
a wireless internet access point on travel.
Once you logon from your laptop it will be
just like you are in the office. Your global
network of colleagues and partners will see
that you are online and able to communicate. Your presence information will be visible in many of our applications like SharePoint, Intranet, Office and of course email.
Geert Eijsink in person.
Should the project be successful, Odfjell ICT
will evaluate the next stage of integration
of the solution, where calls could be made
anywhere in the world at the minimum cost
using the communicator platform and an
integration to the corporate phone systems.
In the meantime there will be significant
savings to be made if our staff starts to use
Office Communicator between Odfjell offices.
Training day
in Rotterdam
By Bente Stangeland
Six brokers from Bergen participated
in the Tank Terminal Training day at
Odfjell Terminal Rotterdam on November 18, 2009. On arriving at the Terminal we were greeted by Mike Beviss who
gave us a short introduction of Odfjell
Terminals (Rotterdam). Theo Kruithof
gave a general presentation of OTR, the
terminals’ activities and the terminals’
impressive infrastructure.
This was followed by a detailed overview of Odfjell Terminals Maritiem and
PID. We were all impressed by what PID
is actually capable of doing. The next
session was with Patrick Wermeester
who briefed us on Odfjell Netherland
B.V. and the science of transhipment efficiency in Rotterdam. He also gave us
an overview of all the barge and coaster
owners. During lunch at the OTR canteen we met more of the OTR staff including representatives from Sales,
Customer service and Planning. After
lunch we all got our safety gear on before we paid a ship visit to Bow Hector
that was at berth at Odfjell Terminals
Maritiem (OTM). We got a guided tour
of the OTM and OTR control room, the
laboratories and the terminal in general. Laura Vos and Mike Beviss rounded
up the training day with a presentation on the commercial differences
and similarities between terminals and
shipping, and the importance of communication and cross selling between
the terminal side and the tanker side.

Cooperation between ship
and shore – Officers’ Councils
By Helge Olsen
Close and good cooperation between ship
and shore is a necessity for successful
handling of our future challenges. The
Northwest European Officers’ Council has
proven to be a valuable vehicle to cater
for such cooperation. The Council shall
facilitate cooperation between personnel on board and ashore, primarily by exchange of information and ideas. The 2nd
annual meeting of the Officers’ Council was
held November 3rd at the headquarters in
Bergen. Dan Odfjell, our company’s Chairman, was specially invited by our President/
CEO Jan A. Hammer. Mr. Odfjell presented
our company’s policy in respect of mariners
and also conveyed his views on the global
recession and especially how this has and
will continue to impact our own company
and business. The officers highly appreciated being informed, which triggered a frank
discussion followed by everybody around
the table talking freely about our current
challenges, in the context of what cost
reductions are possible, fair and defendable both short-term and in a longer term
perspective. As from 2010, we also plan to
establish a Filipino Officers’ Council with
the same objectives to contribute to better
cooperation between personnel on board
and ashore.
The terminal training day was indeed
very well organized and informative.
We were all impressed by the magnitude of the terminal activities and all
its business units. At the end of the day
our main objective between the terminal side and the tanker side should be
to improve communication in order to
open up more business opportunities
for all parties. We feel this training day
was a good step in that direction.

Manisha Desai and Sudesh Kamath represented Odfjell India in the Indian Shipping Summit in Mumbai late October.
The ongoing global shipping crisis and
its effects on the Indian industry was the
major theme of the conference.
The Indian Shipping Summit served as
a forum to address the most topical issues affecting India’s shipping industry,
such as port infrastructure challenges,
reduced money flow, charter party failures, container market vulnerability,
efficient management models, technological advances in shipbuilding and
environmental initiatives like exploring
the opportunities in the India energy
sector and the need for shipping of going
green. Indian Shipping Summit, conference cum exhibition is being recognised
as India’s premiere networking event for
international maritime business. This
year about 400 delegates attended. For
Odfjell the crucial thing was to meet the
participants from Indian & International
Shipowners fraternity. Various port owners and operators were also present. It is
also an excellent opportunity to meet
shipyard owners, shipping agents and
others related to the shipping logistics,
whom we do not meet in our daily life.
India is fighting off the global economic
downturn better than most. Experts
predict that the country’s economy
will continue to be growing fast, as will
its maritime sector, which is pressing
ahead with expansion of its 900-strong
fleet and improvements to its 12 major
and 100+ minor ports and numerous
shipyards.

do when I arrived, even though phase 1, the
initial 109,000 cbm, of the site had already
been operational when Odfjell teamed up
with KPIC. Everyone at OTK was very eager
to make this terminal a success. And we did!
Main achievements at OTK are the facts that
we have designed this entire multipurpose
terminal ourselves without any consultants,
the expansion of the terminal, with a doubling of the capacity to 251,000 cbm in few
years time, the ISO-certification and CDI-T
membership, Rob states.
20
Odfjell Terminals (Korea) has grown to be Odfjells 5th largest terminal
Odfjell has succeeded in its strategy of
expanding tank terminal activities along
the major shipping lanes. The early years
of this century has shown a huge growth
of Odfjell’s tank terminals.
In 2000 the company substantially increased
its global storage capacity by acquiring the
huge Rotterdam terminal. Only two years
later Odfjell also entered into the important and buoyant Northeast Asian hubtank
storage market, by teaming up with Korean
Petrochemical Ind. Co. (KPIC) in Ulsan,
South Korea. This move has since been followed by further projects in Asia and the
Middle East: the new storage terminal in Jiangyin, the relocation and expansion of our
Dalian terminal, our joint venture terminal
in Singapore, the new storage terminal in
Sohar and our project in Iran, scheduled for
commercial start-up in January 2010.
Climbing the ladder with terminal
expansions
One of those who has been a part in this
massive Odfjell terminal expansion is Rob
Meijboom, until recently Vice President Terminal Development with Odfjell Terminals
B.V. As he is now retiring, Rob reflects upon
the ten years of Odfjell Terminals expansion.
From left: Jerry Shreter and Rob Meijboom
from the expansion period in 2002.
Initially Rob was a seafarer and started his
career on board of short-sea gas-tankers.
In 1968 he joined Pakhuismeesteren, what
was later to become Royal Pakhoed, as a
junior operator. Meanwhile he completed a
chemistry study. This enabled him to make
an internal move to PID, our Rotterdam distillation plant. In the years that followed,
Rob worked in various positions at various
different terminals within the Pakhoed-network, not only in the Netherlands but also
in Tunisia and Thailand. This brought him
a lot of challenges and, more importantly,
a lot of experience. In 1997 Meijboom became Terminal Manager at the Rotterdam
terminal. And then, late 1999 and early
2000, Rob was part of the management
team involved in the process of selling the
terminal as required by the EU commission,
a process where Odfjell eventually emerged
as the winner.
Start-up of Odfjell Terminals (Korea)
Later on Rob went for feasibility studies, first
to the Baltic area, then in the early 2000s
to South Korea together with Jerry Shreter
from Odfjell Terminals (Houston). Few
months later KPIC and Odfjell signed a joint
venture contract and in the autumn of 2002
Rob became President of Odfjell Terminals
Korea (OTK). - I had a great time at OTK,
with a very fine staff, he reflects. He still gets
excited about the colleagues and achievements in Ulsan. - There was a lot of work to
Time for hobbies
After more than 41 years of experience in
tank storage, of which 12 years abroad,
Rob has now retired. He takes real pride in
having worked for Odfjell, although he is
not sure he is going to miss working. - I have
so many hobbies. We also have a house in
Thailand and are considering moving there
during winter-time. Then we have our classic cars, our greatest passion. I have already
minutely restored one of those.
People - Odfjell’s most important asset
Rob adds: - A good company is not the name
or logo. It’s the people working for that company who are its most important asset.
Communicate throughout the organization,
top-down and bottom-up and always try to
get the best out of your employees. Use their
strengths. Lastly, Rob takes the opportunity: - I really like to thank all the colleagues,
world-wide, for the great cooperation
during these 41 years.

Started in 1969 with seven tanks at the TAGSA Buenos Aires terminal, today the Odfjell
Terminals network owns and operates more than 1,100 storage tanks world-wide,
totaling well over 4 million cbm.
In 1986 Odfjell listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange. During this “IPO” (initial public
offering) the shares of the South American terminals plus the 30% share* in the Canadian IMTT Quebec terminal were transferred from the public company to a private
company, owned by the Odfjell family. Odfjell SE has a cooperation agreement with
this group of terminals, hence the name “Associated Terminals”.
*The shares in the Canadian IMTT Quebec terminal were transferred in 1988.

Odfjell’s competitive advantage in the
maritime industry
Company’s business model characterestics
Odfjell’s Share of the chemical tanker
market versus our competitors
Future fleet development plans
Odfjell’s long-term plans for employment
of Filipino seafarers
were present. While enjoying the sumptuous
lunch, the Holiday season was felt as children
from an orphanage sang Christmas. Many
of the participants were thankful for the opportunity to offer cash donation to help less
fortunate children.
The launching and introduction of the Odfjell
Philippines Official Website, The Odfjell Crew
Handbook and the first batch of Odfjell Educational Assistance Programme (EAP) recipients, also made the event more momentous.
To compliment the ‘one-stop-shop’ office, the
Alejandra Condotel and Sea and Sky Travel
Agency was also formally introduced. These
important projects reflect the company’s
commitment to continue finding innovative
ways to provide high-quality service to all its
crew and allottees .
Large part of the afternoon was devoted
to fun and excitement like song and dance
numbers presented by some family members
of officers and crew. Parlor games for kids
and couples brought so much excitement
to everyone. Some crew and wives gamely
joined the mini pageant show for selection of
‘Hunk Daddy’ and ‘Dazzling Mom’. ‘Talented
Kid’ and ‘Bibo’ Kid award was also given to
selected performers. - It is overwhelming to
see the active participation of the crew and
allottees in every segment of the event. The
tiring days of preparation for this event paid
off upon seeing big smiles of the participants,
one of the organizers said. Surely, it has been
an informative and fun-filled day for everyone.
To make the event more family oriented,
Odfjell Manila invited a Chef to demonstrate
food preparation. There were also topics on
seafarers’ family wellness, discerning the
practical secrets of busy but balance and
happy family life. These topics were really
appreciated by the majority of the wives who
Thanks to the Programme committee members, particularly to Mrs Leth Fulo, Mrs, Myra

not be a success without their hard work and
tireless efforts.

Autumn picnic in Korea
By Gunnar Moen
It is tradition for most Korean companies
to arrange a company autumn outing, and
the same goes for Odfjell Terminals (Korea) (OTK). This year, as last year, our colleagues from Odfjell Ulsan operation also
joined us.
The tour was scheduled for Saturday 31st October and we “mustered” at Ulsan World Cup
Stadium, where a bus was waiting, heading
for the selected mountain “Shinbul-san”, just
west of Ulsan City.
Everything was very well prepared. The weather was fantastic, and the mood of the partici-
pants was equally great. We started walking
from a base at 300 metres and headed along
a steep track towards the final destination, a
peak at 1,209 metres above sea level.
The hikers started out very fresh, but after a
while various groups were established according to condition and experience with
tracking. The first group reached the top after
about two hours, while the last one arrived an
hour later. At the top lunch was served, and
food really tastes good at such heights. The
view from the mountain top was spectacular, and the high blue autumn sky made it a
memorable event.
After an hour break at the top, we followed
the same path down again. In the bus, with
already aching legs and sore muscles for most
of us; we headed for the “samgepsal” restaurant, where we were barbecuing bacon at the
table with various side dishes, talking about
reaching yet another mountain peak, and of
course did a lot of socializing. It was a great
day of fun and exercise, and we are already
looking forward to our next company event.

Bow Santos drydocking in Durban
Upon completion of voyage 200909, Bow
Santos was open in Durban for dry-docking and her first class renewal. The drydocking project contract was awarded to
the shipyard Elgin Brown & Hamer (Pty)
Ltd. in Durban.
24
This shipyard has a long history in ship repairs along busy shipping lanes. Today the
yard is downsized as compared to earlier
days, with two small slipways and a small
repair quay. Although the yard has a floating dock of 155 metres in length with an
entrance width of 24 metres and lifting capacity of 8,500 metric tons, this dock is too
small for Bow Santos. Thus, we had to use
the graving dry-dock, which is controlled
by the Durban Port Authority. The graving
dock is 352 metres long, 33.5 metres wide at
entrance and 42.2 metres wide between the
dock walls. Maximum draught for docking is
12 metres. The small repair quay at the yard
has a length limitation of maximum 150 metres and a maximum draught of five metres.
As Bow Santos’ overall length is only 147.8
metres, fortunately we were able to moor
Bow Santos at this berth while waiting to enter the dry-dock. Thus we avoided bringing
her alongside a lay by berth while awaiting
clearance to enter the graving dock.
Forwarding of the ship’s stores and spare
parts to Durban for this dry-docking project
turned out not to be a problem. Clearance of
such items can either be done by the shipyard or by the local agents, and the shipyard
can keep the spares in storage until the vessel’s arrival. Service engineers, technicians
and subcontractors arranged by owners are
allowed to come into the shipyard to carry
out specialist jobs without hassle.
The safety culture and practices at Elgin
Brown & Hamer are at an acceptable level

preparation, he was taking part in repair
specifications preparations, cost evaluation and comparison of various shipyard
tenders, monitoring of required spare parts
status, studying and familiarizing class survey requirements. This familiarization was
mainly related to, but not limited to close-up
surveys, thickness gauging requirements, requirements of tank testing etc. He has been
given first hand experience participating in
initial meetings with shipyard production
personnel, discussing repair specifications
and plans, as well as the kick-off meeting
with DNV on survey plan and requirements.
-I find this project very challenging for me
as it opens my eyes to many things, especially information gained from those meetings with the shipyard and with DNV. Being
inside ballast tanks and cargo tanks during
surveys also helped me to understand more
about what such operations are all about,
says Mike Ling.
During the Ship Officers Conference dinner in Bergen in September 25t, 11 officers were honoured with gold medal for 30 years of

Reflections
from Asia

Odfjell Makana
donates funds
with countries outside the region. These are
in place to enhance trade and strengthen
economic growth. We have noted during
the recent economic crisis that the various
countries have been quick to take substantial measures to boost the economies. These
initiatives have worked well and generated
increased economic activity in some Asian
countries.

On 11 November, Odfjell Makana visited four schools in the rural town of
Estcourt in Kwazulu Natal to present
a contribution to each of the schools,
Emtshezi High School, Bhekathina
High School, Pisgah Primary School
and Emhlungwini Primary School.
The funds are to be used to improve the
schools and the learning. The teachers,
pupils and community members were
very excited to receive the donations.
As a gesture of appreciation Bhekathina
High School’s students performed a traditional Zulu dance piece. Following the
visit to the four schools, the local principal’s forum invited the Odfjell Makana
representatives to a lunch. This was a
good opportunity to foster relations and
to convey their sincere gratitude for the
donations received by the schools and
for the ongoing support Odfjell Makana
has provided to the local community.

The globe consists of 147,500 million KM²
of land area (including Antarctica) of which
Asia represents 44,500 mill KM; approximately 30%. Of the estimated global population of 6,785 billion, Asia’s population
counts an estimated 3,8 billion people; approximately 55%.
Asia represents about 30% of the world’s
GDP (US$ 54,863,551 mill), but has the fastest growing economies with an expected
average growth of 6,5% for 2010, whilst the
world’s economy is expected to grow an
average of 3,1%. These facts indicate the
potency and growth potential of the Asian
economies.
The Asian region is consisting of a mix of
economies that are in various developing
stages. From the matured economies of
Japan, Korea and Singapore to the poorest economies of Cambodia and Myanmar.
Whilst many European economies have a
per capita income of more than US$ 40,000,
we will find countries in the Asian region
with a per capita income of a few thousand
dollars. Most of the countries in the Asian
region have a high literacy rate and the
population’s average age is lower than the
world’s average.
Looking at the Asian region, you will find
the existence of many inter-regional trading blocs as well as trading agreements
The Asian populations are industrious and
hard working with a strong drive to improve
their living standard. All this is important
for the growth of our business; the chemical logistics chain. We know that the growth
in the consumption of chemicals in developing economies is higher than the GDP
growth. This means the need for developing
more efficient logistics infrastructures. As
Asia has risen to become a major producer
of everything from toys and cars to ships,
the region’s importance in the global economy is strong. The fact that Asian countries
have had access to modern-days technologies resulted in many generations of industrial developments have been leap-jumped
and enabled an accelerating growth.
Going forward, there is every reason to believe that the Asian economies will grow
faster than the world average and that the
world’s “economic locomotive” will soon
have its main stations in Asia.
After being guided to our tables, it was time to take a look at the
race book to be prepared to bet in the nine races of the day

Business talks over
hats and horses
By: Ove Nygård
Melbourne is home to Australia’s annual
prime horse racing event: Melbourne
Spring Racing Carnival at Flemington
Racecourse. The event consists of three
racing days: Victoria Derby Day, Melbourne Cup Day and Crown Oaks Day. For
this year’s Derby Day on October 31st,
Odfjell invited a few business associates
for a day at the races.
Victoria Derby Day is considered by most
racing purists to be the best single day of
thoroughbred racing in Australia, if not in
the entire world. The day provides a sizzling
start to the racing week, and an estimated
120,000 spectators are enjoying a day at the
race track on opening day.
was beaten just before crossing the finish
line. After a few seconds though, the loss
was forgotten and everybody started concentrating on picking the right horse in the
next race.
It was an enjoyable day with pleasant company and atmosphere, fun and interesting conversations, nice lunch and all this
topped by the great experience of Australian
horse racing at its very best.
When approaching the racecourse, we soon
discovered what Derby Day really is about.
This is not just “another day at the races”;
this is carnival and show, large crowds of
cheerful Aussies, young and old, and ladies
of all ages in elegant dresses, high heels and
large hats. The crowd was truly spectacular,
and the atmosphere during the races was
electric. People were jumping up and down,
cheering for their horse to win. It was quite
interesting to observe the looks on people’s
faces when they realized that their horse
