As previously announced, Laurence
W. Odfjell was elected and took over
as our Company’s Chairman at the
last General Assembly. I want to officially congratulate Laurence with the
new assignment. Having known him
for some years now, I have noticed
that he has the same love and desire
for our Company as his predecessor.
But he has also his own ideas, and
one of the things that Laurence has
changed already is the sequence of
our Board meetings; particularly as
they interact with some of our regular
business processes. We have newly
introduced and embarked therefore,
on a new Integrated Management
Cycle by which we shall focus on our
strategy in June (previously in September), with the purpose that the
outcome shall be reflected and used
as input for subsequent processes
such as the making of action plans,
budgeting and target setting.
So at the time of writing, we are
about to prepare for the yearly strategy meeting together with our Board
of Directors. I get questions from
time to time about our Company’s
strategy, since seemingly we are running the same sort of business year
after year. And “yes”, that is a correct
observation, but is so because that,
in fact, has been our strategy – which
has been, and still is, to operate according to a defined business model.
The business model describes the
markets in which we are going to
operate and our concept for how to
best obtain long term profitability
within same. The main purpose with
the yearly strategy session has been
to review, evaluate and update our
business model and potentially decide on any adjustments or changes.
Our business model has served us
well for many years, but is now being
tested in the wake of the downturn
of the global economy and our markets in particular. It is obvious for
instance that our services have been
further commoditized and that our
equipment is being over inspected
and controlled with often senseless
and arbitrary requirements – like the
many age limitations. We notice in
that context, that some of our competitors seem to be redefining their
business models – by scaling down,
and/or entering new markets by ordering LPG carriers and long range
product/crude carriers. It looks
like a sign of frustration. It cannot
be denied in that respect, that our
shareholders, as represented by the
Board, also are increasingly frustrated about the difficulties we face
in being profitable in the chemical
tanker market. With that in mind, it
seems obvious in these challenging
times, that many of our core ideas
will be tested, so this year’s strategy
meeting should be very interesting.
Last month I had the opportunity
for the first time to participate in a
council meeting of Intertanko. Four
subjects got special attention; piracy,
criminalization of seafarers, vettings
and the escalation of environmental
requirements. It was a good meeting
in as much as I got to meet and see
that a great number of other owners
and operators share the same concerns as we do. The issue of piracy for
instance is a huge frustration – since
politicians and governments seem
incapabable of finding a solution.
They only talk about ways of dealing
with piracy as a phenomenon that
will remain. I proposed an industry
wide avoidance of piracy infected
areas, my thinking being that piracy
should not really be the problem of
the owners and operator. Ships are
always scheduled here and there
because of the cargoes they are contracted to carry – and the problem
therefore, should rest with the cargo
owners. The proposal seemed so far
to be “outside the box” of possible
solutions, but has at least been put
on the agenda.
In the last issue of Quarterly I closed
this column by saying that I hoped
“spring” would apply to the global
economy and our markets. That has
not been the case. Instead we are
faced with the onset of a new setback, a double dip as they call it. It
goes without saying therefore, that
we need to remain conservative and
continue our efforts in enhancing
cost consciousness throughout our
entire organization.
I wish you all a good summer.

Women in shipping
The share of female employees at Odfjell is
steadily but slightly increasing, and women in traditionally male-dominated jobs are no longer rare
to find in Odfjell. Quarterly have met two ladies
who have made an untraditional female career in
Odfjell, not afraid of dirt and heavy lifts.
By Margrethe Gudbrandsen
The technical
superintendent
Name:
Gunvor S. Meyer
Age:
37
Current position:
Technical Superintendent
Gunvor started in Odfjell in 1996 as an engine
cadet and later 2nd engineer. She sailed for six
years before she went ashore and started working in the office as a purchaser. She had this position for five years before she decided to join
the superintendent trainee programme. After
eight months of training, she got the job as a
technical superintendent in September 2008.

www . odfj ell . com
Is there a difference in the way a woman
does this job versus a man?
- Everybody have their own way of doing
things. I do not think differences in how you
perform your job has to do with what kind
of sex you are. It is more dependent on how
you are as a person.
What is the best with this job?
- I like that no days are the same. There are
always new challenges and new things to
learn. It is a job that never gives you the privilege of getting bored!
Gunvor does not feel that she has to work
harder nor that there are extra challenges
in her work because she is woman. But she
guesses that, having such a job, there are
challenges for those who have children.
The Officer
Name: Kristin Dahle
Age: 25
Current position:
2nd Officer on Bow Fortune
Kristin started as deck trainee at Knutsen OAS, before she entered the nautical school in Haugesund. After school
she started as cadet on Bow Chain, progressed as 3rd Officer on Bow Spring and
later Bow Chain, and progressed further
to 2nd Officer on Bow Fortune.
Why did you choose this profession?
- It is hard to tell but I grew up by the sea,
and many of my family members work at
sea. I joined my father on board his vessel
just before I started school, and I enjoyed
it very much.
What is the best with this job?
- To travel and to see the world. To work
with different challenges and new things
that happens all the time. To meet a lot
of new people, and not least the free time
period of 6-8 weeks.
Kristin Dahle on Bow Fortune
odfj ell quarterl y maga z ine
- Frequent travelling will make it hard, but
for me it is no problem, since I do not have
children.
Is it easier now than before being a female in
this profession? If so, why do you think so?
- I think it is easier now. I guess the first females having a typical male position, could
meet difficulties when performing their job.
Nowadays there are women in all kinds of
professions worldwide, and old prejudices
are no longer as dominant as before. So
things are improving.
Being in a male dominated business, do
you have to work harder because you are
a woman?
- No, there are no gender difference in
how we perform this job. However that is
my opinion, maybe the guys feel differently?
Are there any extra challenges in your
work being a female?
- There will always be physical challenges. But mostly that is ok, I get some help
from my nice colleagues if necessary.
What is the feedback from your surroundings?
- Only positive. Family and friends are
very proud of me. The negative part is
being away from family and friends during holidays and festivals. I hope internet
will be installed on every vessel as this is
a nice way to communicate with friends
and families.
How is it to combine this profession with
family life?
- To combine this profession with family
life can be hard. My boyfriend also works
at sea. So a bit of planning is required
before deciding to have a family with
children. We can still work within shipping
even though we go ashore. But I am still
young and have still plenty of years at sea.
Is it easier now than before being a female in this profession? If so, why do you
think so?
- I believe it is easier nowadays than before. It is quite common to have women
on board and I believe it will increase in
the years to come. I have only received
positive feedback from my male colleagues about having women on board. I
suppose we contribute to a positive and
alternative atmosphere on board.
NR.01/ 10
Why did you choose this profession?
- By coincident. I heard people talking about
the exciting jobs you could get if choosing
a maritime education, so I decided to try. I
did not know at that time that this also could
lead to interesting jobs ashore. That was a
bonus!

chairman’s message ODFJELL QUARTERLY magazine
Chairman’s Message
6
This is my first address to all of you in the
Quarterly since assuming as Chairman on
May 4th. Although our business environment is challenging at present and the outlook is for further choppy weather, I would
like to start on a positive note. Within our industry, Odfjell is today recognized for quality, both within shipping and terminals. Over
the years we have exerted a positive influence within our industry by ‘exporting’ our
high standards and technological solutions
over the seven seas and to our many terminal locations. We also participate in trade
organizations and associations to promote
many issues related to HSE – thus pushing
for improved environmental protection and
enhanced product stewardship through the
logistic chain. Just as examples, in recent
years Odfjell has actively engaged in safety
issues by promoting consistent rules for
inerting of low flash cargo, or addressing
industry issues such as the increasingly byzantine vetting regime. We introduced double
hull tankers for cargo integrity purposes
long before such were required by code. And
we similarly built pressure tanks at our terminals to minimize vapor emissions.
The recognition of being one of the leaders
in our field actually imposes certain expectations and demands upon all of us. In my
first speech on May 5th at the all employee
meeting in Bergen, I reminded everyone
of the virtues and necessity of the Plan Do
Check Act cycle, which visualizes the process of continuous improvement. With the
change of Chairman, I stated that this is a
natural moment for a Check or evaluation
of the state of our Company. We need to establish a common understanding of where
we stand in order to plan our path forward.
As part of this Check, we prepared a survey
amongst many of our managers from tankers, terminals and corporate headquarters.
The results of this survey set the agenda for
a two- day management seminar where we
attempted to touch upon several of the ‘hottest’ issues, either because these indicated
most dissatisfaction with our performance,
or issues where we internally appeared to
have a lot of diverging views. In other words,
we wanted to hear about the issues in an
open forum or alternatively, we wanted to
dispel differences between perception and
fact.
depth of competence, experience and spirit
within our worldwide organization. But certainly we can improve how we work together
across business units or departmental divisions. During the seminar, there was mention of our capability to think out of the box
to creatively come up with new and better
ways of conducting our business or engaging in new business. As a squash player, I
could not help but think about all the creativity and room for play that I enjoy within
a white box… I encourage all of you to also
‘think within the box’ of Odfjell – we have
plenty of room for improvement of our often
complex and interrelated processes. In other
words, I hope you will find the pursuit for
better alignment of our goals and combined
work to also be both a source of creativity
and motivation. It certainly is a challenge,
especially as we have grown into a large and
far flung organization.
Certainly, one of my principal expectations
to all of you is that we as a company should
be willing to confront the brutal reality of
our performance, however, unpleasant such
reality may be. Only by recognizing our
shortcomings or any unsafe conditions or
acts, can we actually do something about it.
So, let us not fool ourselves and/or our colleagues. That is dangerous business.
In an increasingly competitive industry such
as ours, we need to also Act and be willing
to make necessary changes to both our business model and organizations, if needed.
But as many a wise man has said: If it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it. We will see.
In the meantime, stay safe.

Of course, the seminar reinforced my conviction that Odfjell possesses a tremendous
LANDMARKS ODFJELL QUARTERLY magazine
Initiatives and efforts implemented at OTK:
760 days without
Lost Time Injury
By OTK’s QHSE team
In June 2002, Odfjell Terminals (Korea) (OTK) commenced Loss Time Injury
(LTI) recording as required by the Korean Occupational Health Law. We
achieved 1598 days in middle of February 2008.
Unfortunately this record ended
while doing a shortcut during a
period which was very intensive and
very busy. Accordingly, to prevent
accidents and in particular personal
injuries, OTK maintained focus on
preventive measures, implemented
several preventive initiatives to
develop an attitude towards safety
in all parts of the organization that
we all were pushing in the same
direction.
Due to above efforts, we could
again celebrate 760 days without
LTI March 19th. At the time of
writing we have reached above 820
days, and our efforts will certainly
continue. This result was not only
achieved by the contribution of the
QHSE department, but was made
by the high safety spirit of all our
employees. It goes without saying;
only by keeping our people away
from accidents, we can maintain a
harmonized organization and happy
families.
OTK’s previous LTI record of 1598 days
ended by a shortcut. Lesson learned
is that shortcuts are not allowed from
a personal safety perspective nor
for OTK’s safety performance or the
Company in general. Stay safe and
take care!
Corporate efforts
• Inspection teams from Odfjell’s terminal HQ visiting
us once or twice a year. These inspections are carried
out on-site; a practical part to see that we do according
to our procedures, and the office part for auditing
the paper and documentation. Being part of Odfjell’s
worldwide Terminal network assist us keeping the
standards as required.
International standards
• OTK is yearly being assessed and certified to meet the
requirements of ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) standards.
OTK is also a member of Chemical Distribution
Institute (CDI-T), and is therefore audited every
three years under this scheme. The details from the
inspection are completed in the CDI-T database, for
our customers’ easy availability and screening, as and
when required.
Governmental requirement
• We also comply with the standards required by
Korean laws and regulations. Various government
bodies carry out regular inspections and audits related
to Health and Safety, Environmental compliance and
Fire and Explosions prevention compliance.
Bow Power and the “Fortunate 21”
By Capt. Deyro, Bow Power
It is a year of farewell for some of our
old ladies. One of them is Bow Power.
The plan of recycling was unexpected.
She will be remembered as a precious
lady, with whom romantic hours have
been spent and golden times have
been shared. It is sad to say, we are the
“Fortunate 21” who brought her in
to Alang Beach in India, on her final
farewell voyage, to set her back where
she now belongs, a “dust of steel”.

Internal efforts
• Case specific internal safety training regularly
carried out for our shift operators and other relevant
personnel.
• On-site inspections done every six weeks. During
these inspections, which are of very practical nature,
the entire terminal is inspected and inappropriate
conditions are noted down and pictures taken. Each
item is discussed and solutions found during bi weekly
Management Team meetings.
• Internal QA audits twice a year, which is above the
ISO requirement.

The TMS implementation team at OTR
Largest TMS roll-out so far
The terminal management project (TMS)
objective has been to replace local legacy
systems at the individual Odfjell terminals with one corporate solution. The
project has a global roll-out programme
for the entire Odfjell terminal business,
subject consent of partners in some joint
ventures. Our Houston terminal, OTH, has
been in production since 2008. The TMS
system has been in production at Odfjell
Terminals (Rotterdam) (OTR) since the
3rd of March. This is the largest roll-out
of TMS so far.
By Tor Jürgensen and Tom Hagesæther
Application management and SAP Basis
services are run out of Odfjell Head Office in
Bergen. The infrastructure is scaled for high
availability 24/7. The TMS provides complete contract management and an order to
invoice workflow. SAP Customs handling is
integrated with automatic creation of customs documents. Sophisticated algorithms
for unit of measurements and volume calculations are also embedded. Environment,
Health & Safety and Dangerous Goods
Regulations are other important integrated
components.
The go-live in Rotterdam
The OTR cut-over was lead up with a training programme of several hundred individual training sessions covering all the
different user groups. Six weeks before golive all OTR contracts were added to the
TMS system. One week before the go-live
all master data was uploaded into producwww . odfj ell . com
tion. In the last weekend of February a test
cut-over process was executed. During cutover all book stock and physical stock was
transferred to TMS. With the positive result
from this, OTR’s management team gave
the final go-ahead. All the pre-determined
cut-over steps were then executed through
the night. At 12:30 3rd of March the physical
and book stock was approved in production
by business experts. 4th of March terminal
management confirmed to continue with
TMS go-live. The fall back window to the old
systems was then closed, in other words,
this was the point of no return
Outstanding achievement
The first seven days after go-live was foreseen as a day and night war-mode period
for business and the support teams. Personal commitment and intrepidness was in this
period played at all layers of the organization. A good example is the forwarding de-
NR.01/ 10

partment. On the first day, this department
struggled to get 20 trucks processed in 20
hours. Within four business days, they were
close to normal operational performance as
before the cut-over. At the waterfront close
to normal performance was achieved from
day one. This is an outstanding achievement. Customer Service, Planning and Customs did a remarkable job by transferring all
nominations manually from the old system
to TMS at the first production day.
In order to have a successful “TMS go-live” period without too much disturbance of the core
business, two support teams were in place during OTR go-live: an “On the Job Support Team”
(focus on user support) and a “Quick Response
Team” (focus on incident handling). This approach has been quite successful. Since Easter these support teams have gradually been
replaced with a permanent support structure
which consists of the following levels:
- 1st line support to be provided by local Key Users.
- 2nd line support provided by local ICT.
- 3rd line application support provided by
Corporate ICT.
- 4th line of support is provided by SAP
Application Management Services.
The local 2nd line is currently handling and
structuring the majority of the incoming issues. The local support is well structured
and well performing. The communication
and integration with global support is well
organized. The application support team
offers the permanent structure for 24/7 support within the Odfjell line organization.
The replacement of a terminal’s core ICT
support system is a risky and difficult operation. The first weeks after the cut-over demanded focus and hard work. This included
in some cases, as anticipated, delays and
slow performance.
Not too bad
The switch from the old to the new TMS
system went smoothly. However as with
new systems of this size there will always be
some challenges in the first period of operation. The Odfjell ICT and the project organization will continue to work with full focus
to resolve any issues that may arise.
Continued weak
result in the 1st
quarter of 2010
By Tom A. Haugen
Early May the Odfjell Group released its 1st quarter 2010 results. The net result showed
a loss of USD 4 million amid weak earnings on the parcel tanker side due to lower freight
rates and lower volumes. The tank terminal results however remain strong.
The consolidated gross revenue was USD
10 million lower than the 4th quarter last
year, positive results from bunker escalation clauses and hedging contributed USD
14 million. Operating expenses was USD 14
million lower as permanent cost saving initiatives became effective. We expect operating expenses to remain at this level or lower.
10
Our administration expenses remained
stable as we have stringent cost saving initiatives in place. Net interest expenses are
lower as we are able to take advantage of
lower interest rates and the elimination of
the Norwegian tonnage tax liability.
We have sold five coated vessels for recycling
during the 1st half of 2010.
In February we took delivery of MT “Southern Jaguar” under a two-year time charter for
worldwide trading. In April we took delivery
of MT “Flumar Brasil”, a 51,000 dwt IMO III
product tanker, from the SLS yard in Korea.
We are confident that the tank terminal results will remain strong on the back of the
successful expansion programme, a solid
contract base and continued strong demand
for storage and terminal services.
We foresee improved 2nd quarter activity in
certain trade on the shipping side, but the
pressure on freight rates is expected to continue as competition remains fierce.
Flumar Brasil
Bow Bracaria is one of the multitank vessels that will change flag to NIS
Odfjell brings
additional
ships under
Norwegian flag
Odfjell are in the process of bringing five
vessels into the Norwegian International
Ship Register (NIS).
The vessels are Bow Brasilia (5,870 DWT/
built 1997), Flumar Brasil (51,000 DWT/2010)
and the multitank vessels Bow Balearia (5,870
DWT/1998), Bow Bracaria (5,941DWT/1997)
and Flumar Aratu (13,834DWT/1997).
Odfjell took delivery of Flumar Brasil in April
from SLS Shipbuilding Co Ltd, Korea. The
change of flag on the other multitank vessels
is due to the relocation of chartering, operawww . odfj ell . com
tion and ship management from Germany to
Bergen. The change of flag of Flumar Aratu is
due to the cancellation of a bare boat charter
agreement with Flumar.
Odfjell will eventually have 27 vessels registered in NIS, and is today the largest employer of Norwegian mariners under the NIS flag.
- If we see the shipping industry getting more
stable conditions in the future, we will consider increasing our number of vessels in
NIS, says Jan A. Hammer, President/CEO Odfjell SE.
Strong banker
confidence in Odfjell
- The only thing new since last year’s bank
presentation is that we are one year closer
to a recovery from the financial crisis. But we
still do not know when it will happen. This was
the opening words of the Head of Shipping in
Nordea, Thor Erling Kylstad’s speech at the
annual Odfjell bank presentation in May.
NR.01/ 10
- The competition tends to harden and many
shipping companies suffer severe economical
losses. However, on behalf of the banks presented here today, I am confident that Odfjell will remain one of the most solid and sound shipping
companies also after this crisis, Kylstad continued.

32 representatives from 17 different banks joined
Odfjell for this event, followed by a dinner at the
Fløien Restaurant.

Arbitration award
Odfjell has been notified that Sevmash will not pay the amount awarded in the arbitration case voluntarily. Odfjell won
the arbitration case against the Russian shipyard in which Odfjell was awarded USD 45 million including refund of
expenses.
Unfortunately this means that Odfjell has to formally seek enforcement of the award through the courts in Russia. The timeframe of this process is difficult to assess and it will lead to a delay in receiving the full payment. However, an interest rate of
8.5 percent p.a. as from 30 December 2009 will be added.
The Norwegian Government assists Odfjell
Odfjell made contact with the Norwegian authorities in April to seek guidance in this process against a corporation fully
owned by the Russian State. In May, The Odfjell versus Sevmash case was the only theme on the agenda during a meeting
between the Norwegian Minister of Industry, Trond Giske and the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov. According
to the Norwegian newspaper, Dagens Næringsliv, the Russian response to the case was positive and stated that there will be
a new meeting in St. Petersburg in June.
Ready for the big chair
At the Annual General Meeting 4 May,
Dan Odfjell stepped down as Chairman
and gave the chair to his son Laurence
W. Odfjell, who was elected as the new
Chairman of the Board.
By Margrethe Gudbrandsen
But this was not done in a tick. Laurence had
other plans than being part of the family business. - Following Dan’s first request, it took two
years before I decided to leave my work as architect and join the family business. Then a long
time of training started to be qualified to the position as, Chairman of the Board, Laurence says.
Quarterly April 2008 edition further expands
Laurence way to the top.
You have had a thorough training within Odfjell for many years. Do you now feel ready for
the position as Chairman of the Board?
- The only possible answer to this question is
affirmative, because otherwise I could not have
accepted. Of course, the readiness for such
position is not so much based on me as an individual, but rather how I insert myself into a
composition of fellow board members. In other
words, the shareholders and the Company can
count on the combined experience of my fellow
board members. And I must add that we are very
happy that our outgoing Chairman, my father,
has accepted to continue contributing to the
Company by staying on in the Board, says Laurence.

2010:
Chairman of the Board.
What will be the main focus for the Board in the
near future?
- It would be premature to properly answer this
question at this point, because the Board in its
new composition has not had a chance to meet
and discuss. This will happen in Mid June when
the Board will have its annual strategy session.
In connection with the change of Chairman,
we gathered management from our worldwide
organization in a two day seminar to openly discuss our ‘state of the union’ and what steps we
should be taking going forward. Based on this
review, Management is preparing the agenda
and recommendations for what should be Odfjell’s main focus going forward. Of course, in
any change of organization, the Board needs
to ensure that we have the right organizational
structure and the right composition and players
within top management, he explains.
Odfjell SE has had an enormous expansion
since the start four generations ago, how do
you feel about filling the shoes of your predecessor?
- Most politicians and managers when appointed to high office or position, typically state
that they feel a great sense of humility and responsibility when assuming office. So I fear that
anything I say may sound like a cliché. I most
certainly feel the weight of carrying on the work
of my father, grand father and great grand father. I also feel very privileged that I have been
entrusted with this responsibility. Needless to
say, it is ‘impossible’ for me to replace one to
one my father, who was one of the pioneers in
the chemical parcel tanker industry and also
pioneered our tank terminal activities. But, the
Company and our particular industry are in
very different stages of development today than
what my father faced when he started out. So,
we do not pretend or believe that this is a one
to one replacement. I want to emphasize that I
do share with my predecessors a long-term view
for our Company, one that strives for a longterm competitive return on investments for all
the shareholders. And underpinning my goals, I
hope that after my tenure, I can ‘hand over’ this
Company to my successor in sound condition.
We have left some rocky quarters behind us,
how do you see the future and how will Odfjell
further adapt to this roller coaster of a financial
crisis?
- First of all, I foresee more rocky quarters ahead
of us. Odfjell acts on the global arena and the
debt crisis will, in my view, impact demand and
thus also trade in many regions – the question
is not whether there will be an impact, but how
strong, how widespread and for how long. Our
industry is quite capital intensive, so we will
have to scale back our expansion ambitions (at

not overstretch our capacity in the event that
very negative scenarios play out. Odfjell has a
robust business model due to our versatile and
flexible fleet and also due to our terminal business, so I am confident that we will be one of the
players left standing. Fortunately, our business
model has the flexibility for us to adapt and take
necessary measures to reduce downside risk,

Margrethe Gudbrandsen Communication Manager and Arne Sletten Helgesen Project Manager are looking forward to launch Odfjell Insite
14
Odfjell Insite ready
Odfjell Insite is about to be launched
these days. We are now migrating from
three existing intranet solutions
(Houston, Rotterdam and existing
Corporate) into one single
corporate intranet for the entire
Odfjell organization.
In a user survey (January 2009) 71 % of our
300 respondents from all parts of Odfjell
reported that they use the intranet daily or
several times each day. – I hope the user will
find the new Odfjell Insite useful, easy to
navigate and up-to-date, says Arne Sletten
Helgesen, the Project Manager for Odfjell
Insite.
Critical success factor
A critical success factor for Odfjell Insite will
be its ability to present relevant trustworthy information. – We have appointed and
trained responsible editors and publishers
all over the organization. A total of 46 publishers have been trained. The task of the appointed editors and publishers is to update
and publish useful information for everyone,
says Margrethe Gudbrandsen, Communication Manager. A “How to use the Odfjell In-
site guide” is made available on front page of
Odfjell Insite.
- We constantly need to develop and improve Odfjell Insite so it fulfils the need of
the Odfjell organization. We can expect that
changes and additional content will be implemented and presented in the future, says
Helgesen.
Collaboration sites
The technical platform for Odfjell Insite also
makes it possible to create collaboration
sites. Such sites will make it easier to share
information, tasks and documentation
across business units and locations. – Currently we have a strong focus on preparing
Odfjell Insite, but over 50 employees on different location have been trained on how to
use the collaboration sites, says Helgesen.
Incredible volumes of spam mail
Our ICT systems stopped 1,142,937 emails as spam in Q1. If each user wasted just 5 seconds to check and delete each of these, the organisation would have used 1587 working hours checking spam in the period. In other words, without effective anti-spam tools the business
would have risked wasting over 200 working days manually deleting spam messages! Spam is not just a nuisance, it is a direct risk to corporate business productivity.
The tanks are going to be built similar to the
bunker tanks. They will look and perform similar
to the bunker tanks but are slated for chemical
storage. The project is scheduled to be ready in
September this year.

Bekkjarvik management workshop
By Klaus Walderhaug
May 20-21, 35 members of Odfjell top and
middle management gathered for a seminar in the idyllic village of Bekkjarvik in
the islands of Austevoll, south of Bergen.
The main purpose of the meeting was to
address a number of issues of current interest, but in addition a good opportunity
for some management teambuilding.
This was also the first chance for the newly
appointed Chairman of the Board Mr. Laurence W. Odfjell to meet with most of management jointly. Unfortunately, due to other
pressing engagements and because of disruptions in the air traffic by Icelandic ashclouds, five invitees were prevented from attending the seminar. Yet, some of our major
overseas locations; Houston, Brazil, Dubai
and Singapore, were represented.
With only two days at disposal, there wasn’t
time to go through all aspects of our company from A to Z. To make sure focus of the
seminar would be on the most important
topics, the summit delegates had taken
part in a pre-meeting survey mapping their
opinions on a large number of statements
about the Odfjell organisation and the way
we operate and run our business. Based on
the survey feedback, President/CEO Jan A.
Hammer and Chairman of the Board Laurence W. Odfjell put together a comprehensive programme covering a wide range of
current subjects.
The first day was dedicated to the present
situation and particular challenges to Odfjell.
Naturally, safety was on top of the agenda;
Port Captain Odd Magne Vik shared his experiences after an accident in January this year,
emphasizing the crucial importance of safety
and quality thinking throughout. Laurence W.
Odfjell presented his views on the integrated
management cycle, stressing the need for better alignment of objectives by all employees
at Odfjell to improve our bottom line. Before
lunch there were group sessions on cooperation and communications, based on business
cases involving Ship Management, Operations
and Chartering. In the afternoon the meeting
turned to the new intranet platform Odfjell
Insite, to cooperation between tankers and
terminals including the somewhat controversial topic of internal pricing, and to quality management issues. The final topic of the
day was human resources management, with
group sessions on leadership, on career development and succession planning, and on Odfjell’s salary adjustment process; subjects that
sparked lively discussion.
Some of the attentive delegates during one of the plenary
sessions
During the second day it was time to look
ahead. After a brief view of the market outlook and our financial constraints, the group
discussed our experiences with the time
charter fleet. The main item of the day was
group sessions on various aspects of Odfjell’s
business model. Finally, the new Chairman
of the Board closed the seminar with some
summary remarks.
The seminar covered a number of crucial
subjects to Odfjell, and discussions were
characterised by openness, enthusiasm
and considerable headroom. The opinions
expressed are valuable input to further development of Odfjell and our operations and
thus, this was two days well spent.
Simulation-based training
at Odfjell Academy
By: Capt. Fidel N. Perez & Janelve C. Ramos
To assure our clients’ needs and requirements,
modern innovations in our training technology are
being adopted at the Odfjell Academy. Simulationbased training is deemed the best and most effective learning tool.
NR.01/ 10
Proper learning and training of crew is very important
and essential to Odfjell. Simulation-based training
maximizes the training investment for the Company as
it provides deeper and more lasting learning impact.
Odfjell Academy, as an in-house training center, is basically concerned with the quality of the training offered
to our crew. Instructors are pedagogically equipped
with necessary information needed regarding course
developing and conduct.
The difference
The focus of simulation-based training is on knowledge and skills application. The students/trainees are
placed in virtual reality for much better teaching method. With the use of simulation in various training, retention and knowledge-level increases and stimulates
the learners/trainees to think more logical and analytical. It also motivates and leads to better performance
by doing the job efficiently. The non simulation-based
training or the conventional training method focuses
on imparting lectures, theories or abstract knowledge.
This may lead to rote learning or learning through
memorization without understanding the significance
of what is being taught. Based on these testimonies, it
is proven that learning by its nature is a holistic process; it is not confined to the four corners of the classroom. Learning does not only mean mastery of complex theories with certain techniques but also mastery
in human interaction, sourcing of information and
enforcement of knowledge gained. However, it is quite
understandable that learning process may be affected
by the behavior, working environment and other external factors.
On board application
Aside from simulation trainings, we have hands-on and
computer based training on board. All deck end engine
officers have a personal Training and Performance Record Book (TPRB) which is important documentation
of all training which has been completed. The Odfjell
Academy is continuously giving all its effort and perseverance in imparting the best way of learning among
our crew. Real life on the job training are being applied
for the enhancement of knowledge. It is our goal to deliver the course effectively and ensure follow-up training are done for professional growth and development
of our crew.

Simulation training at Odfjell Academy
Students about the simulation training
1. How effective and beneficial is the
simulation-based training including
hands-on and real training equipment?
CE Leo J. Gegajo
- The use of simulators in training
closes the gaps between theory and
practice. A simulator when employed
in an examination offers a solution to
the problems of skills, competency
and higher levels of assessment. It is
one of the best procedures that put a
person in an active role, duplicating,
as much as practical, some aspects of
reality. Simulator must offer the best
fidelity for the right scenario being
developed and the whole assessment
process must be valid, reliable and
objective. Simulation technology is
continuously advancing, therefore it
is necessary to upgrade and renew its
system and functionality.
3M Eraño Nazar
- It is very effective and beneficial because we can apply right away whatever we have learned theoretically. It
will give us a chance to practice and
learn things before doing it on vessel.
2. How will you compare simulationbased training to non-simulation or
conventional training method?
2M Mely Junio
- Both of these methods enable us to
learn but the only difference is that in
conventional training you are planning in advance, while simulatorbased training is applying what you
have planned.
Elec Rhannel P. Alaba
- Simulation-based training is more
understandable rather than the conventional because we see the actual
movement of the process.
Value for Money
- the first prizes awarded
By Klaus Walderhaug
Earlier this year, Odfjell launched the Value for
Money (VFM) campaign to gather good ideas leading to smarter and more efficient work. So far we
have received more than 40 suggestions from the
office employees worldwide, in addition to more
than 20 contributions from our colleagues at sea.
The range of suggestions received is quite wide,
including cost savings, efficiency gains, safety
enhancements and improvements benefiting the
environment.
The committees reviewing the various
VFM suggestions have now awarded
the first initial prizes. In most cases the
implementation is still being evaluated
by the relevant units. Hence, the committees have rewarded good ideas with
a preliminary token sum, obviously with
the purpose of raising the prize sum if
the suggestion should be implemented
and proven valuable.
Although quite satisfied with the participation so far, let us emphasize that
we welcome many more suggestions
for improvement. We are confident that
there are colleagues at sea and ashore
who have ideas that really would make
a difference to Odfjell and the way we
operate. Perhaps that is you?

Pirates operating outside East Africa have expanded their area of attacs deep into the Indian ocean
Modern time piracy
By Toralf Sørenes
It is well known that piracy has been
around for centuries and makes flashing news and popular stories. In modern
time armed robberies in ports or coastal
states with poor control in combination
with poverty or political unrest have
been the major concern for ships. This
is something we have been and still are
faced with to a various extent in different
parts of the world.
But in 2008 something changed. Hijacking
of ships and crew for ransom started off the
coast of Somalia, increased in volume and
migrated into the Gulf of Aden. In late 2008
the scale and success rate of piracy in the
Gulf of Aden reached a level that made Odfjell decide to avoid the area and sail around
Africa. The Gulf of Aden is however, a limited
sea area in a key trade lane. Navy ships from
several nations came in and gradually gained
some control and we resumed our sailings.
An acceptable frequency of convoys and
protected group sailings has improved the
level of comfort in the Gulf of Aden. Use of
aforementioned services may cause delays,
but the safety of crew and ships must always
come first. A negative result of the increased
naval presence in the Gulf of Aden is that the
pirate activity, which raises and falls with the
strength of the Monsoon, has migrated back
to where it started. But instead of being an
off-shore issue that could be avoided by sailing restrictions, it has spread so deep into the
Indian Ocean that we can no longer avoid it by
sailing around Africa nor by staying far off the
African coast. This is the present situation.
At Odfjell we have about 100 Gulf of Aden
transits yearly, time chartered ships included, so we are significantly exposed. Further,
the piracy problem has been around for so
long and taken such “industrial” proportion that it has settled as a strong concern
for our sea-farers, their families and us. The
ships are asking for proper protection and
some even ask for arms or armed guard.
Not arms to fight or deter piracy, but as last
resort of self defense. Most stakeholders
like IMO, Underwriters, Flag States and relevant industrial groups advice against arms
on commercial ships unless it is under
naval or flag state control. The aforementioned groups have made a joint advisory
document called Best Management Practice which contains various passive defenses and are acknowledged as an industrial
standard. At Odfjell we monitor the situation closely and have implemented most
of the advice from these groups in our own
security procedures.
Pirates are reportedly a mixture of soldiers
and fisher-men and the numbers of pirates
and the number of active mother-ships are
limited when compared to the naval resources in the area. The ransom money and subsequent financing of the activity are increasing
and the pirates seem to adapt quite well to
the navy’s change of focus or tactics. In our
opinion the authorities should fight piracy
more forcefully, i.e. eliminate mother-ships
and detain the pirates, instead of leaving it to
the individual owners and innoncent seafarers to adapt to the problem. As our former
Chairman Dan Odfjell wrote to one of our
seafarers; this is not a problem that Odfjell
can solve alone and we do whatever we can
to influence the authorities to attend to the
problem in a stronger fashion.
Experience shows that if the ships follow the
procedures and guidelines the chance of being hijacked is significantly reduced. Furthermore, if the owner or manager of a ship that
is hijacked promptly starts active negotiations with the pirates, the ship and crew will
be released unharmed within a reasonable
time. But we understand that being in the
hands of unlawful pirates are a terrible situation and at Odfjell we will do all we can to
comfort the crew and their families and solve
the situation.

HSE Awareness
- HSE course for Odfjell Tankers Management Group
By Bjørn Ydse
Systematic HSE work and a sound HSE
culture are essential to Odfjell. In March
an HSE course was arranged for the top
management in Bergen.
- One of the most important themes and
discussions were how
the Odfjell organization can assure a good
reporting culture by
practicing a non blame
culture.
Experience
feedback and lessons
Morten Nystad
learned are also key
factors. It is important that everyone in the
entire Odfjell organization takes ownership,
not at least top management, says Morten
Nystad, SVP Odfjell Tankers Chartering.
NR.01/ 10
The Norwegian authorities have determined that all managing directors (presidents) in Norway must undergo a mandatory HSE course with minimum content
and predefined themes. Odfjell’s President
Jan A. Hammer therefore decided that the
Odfjell Tankers Management Group should
also join this course, which was tailored to
cover the minimum requirements and internal needs. It was held as two modules,
an introductory module on rules and regulations and a main module focusing on the
HSE culture.
21
Main goals for the HSE management course
• Increase the skills on how to work systematic with HSE
• Assure that the employer attends to the work within HSE and welfare
• Increase the skills of the environmental factors which influences the working environment
• Contribute that the employer works well with the HSE work by performing dialogs
and cooperation.

Our terminal in Oman
- Fast growing in a buoyant market
By Zeger J. J. van Asch van Wijck
Sohar, in the Sultanate of Oman, is a fascinating city that overlooks the Gulf of
Oman. It is suitably located between Muscat, Oman’s capital and the United Arab
Emirates’ city of Dubai (only 200 kilometers away from each). The city of Sohar
assumes its historical significance as a
commercial and cultural bridge between
the two countries for many decades.
22
Its importance as a distinguished geographical location and prominent axis to
the neighboring regional ports has further
raised its stakes during the recent years.
Based on these factors, huge development
plans have been initiated which has made
Sohar one of the major industrial towns
these days. Many major plants in the petrochemical sector and other industrial activities have been established and the city has
started to lead its way to be a key industrial
area in the country.
More storage tanks
One of these newcomers who have settled
in the Port of Sohar these last few years is
Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals (OOT). Started
building tanks and infrastructure in 2006,
the company has already built many tanks
of different sizes, ranging from 1.700 to
52.500 cbm, to meet the increasing demand
for more storage facilities in the region. Just
after completion of the first phase of the
Jetty C from Oman Refinery
The OOT office
terminal, OOT recently embarked upon a
further project to build even more storage
tanks. Work on these new batches is scheduled to be finalized in mid 2011, raising the
total number of tanks to 54 (from 39 tanks).
This increases the current capacity from
842.500 cbm to an estimated new volume of
about 1.270.000 cbm.
OOT also operates six jetties, four of which
are capable of handling vessels up to 110.000
DWT and the other two jetties can handle
vessels up to 70.000 DWT.

New Office Building
Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals Oman has recently inaugurated its new state-of-the-art
office building. The architectural design
has taken the Omani ambience and the
country’s dominating building styles into
consideration, though mixed with some
touches from international blueprints. This
has resulted in a very comfortable atmosphere for the company’s employees, which
is reflected in the big improvement in their
performance and morale.

Workforce Omani-style
By Zeger J. J. van Asch van Wijck
As a result of the above efforts, OOT’s Omanization percentage rose to 70%. This number
is considered one of the highest compared
to the percentages achieved by other neighboring companies. It further proves that
Omani employees have high capabilities
and potentials.
NR.01/ 10
Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals is employing
a mixture of multinational staff, working
side by side with their Omani colleagues.
As those workers are coming from different settings, they constitute a nested
cultural texture that eases better understanding among employees. This mixture
also provides a rare opportunity for the
Omani staff to obtain the best on-the-job
training from these international experts,
know-how they apply in practice during
their daily operations.
OOT has organized a number of training
courses and programmes in different areas
for its employees. Main focus areas have
been safety and security, fire fighting, recovery and dealing with chemical materials.
As the Company is committed to the Sultanate of Oman’s so called “Omanization Programme”, OOT has been recruiting Omani
citizens to fulfill highly important positions
in the engineering, mechanical, electrical and technical arena since 2006. These
people are trained in the fields of operations
and on the technical side, as well as in the
English language in order to improve their
communication skills.

To have the opportunity to meet with the entire staff not only at the workplace, we organized an annual
get-together. This year’s annual Family Day was held in February 2010, in Wadi Al A’han. It was a day full
of fun in the form of games, traditional Omani food and drinks. We all enjoyed it
Odfjell did it again!
Team 154 – Odfjell – did the RopaRun
again. Our team managed the 530 kilometres long non-stop running-relay
from Paris to Rotterdam in 41 hours
50 minutes and a handful of seconds,
resulting in an average speed of 12,41
km/hour. With this time, the Odfjell
team ranked 53rd from 275 participating teams. We hope that our position
on fundraise score list will be higher –
we’re still counting.
The RopaRun is a fundraiser to control
cancer and to help improve the quality
of life of cancer-patients. In 2009 the
joint teams raised 4,7 million Euro of
which the Odfjell team and its sponsors
contributed Euro 34.000.

Earthquake in Chile
By Luis-Alberto Salomon
On February 27th at 03:34 hours a powerful earthquake measuring 8.8 on the
Richter scale struck the central zone of
Chile (Maule Region). The epicenter was
situated off the coast 100 km Northwest
of Chile’s second largest city, Concepcion,
and 300 km south west of Chile’s capital
Santiago. The actual earthquake lasted up
to three minutes.
At the port of Talcahuano a ship was lifted off the dry dock
by one of the tsunamis and left partly on top of the berth
structure. Photo: El Mercurio/Hector Yañes
According to scientific measurements the
city of Concepcion was moved three meters
to the west while Santiago was displaced 24
centimeters in the same direction.
Severe damages
The entire central area suffered damages to
buildings, roads, ports and infrastructure
in general to different extents. The coastal
areas were also hit by tsunami waves causing great damage to coastal settlements and
port infrastructures. The earthquake left approximately 500.000 people homeless and
486 registered casualties. Total damages
were estimated by the government to USD
24.7 billion, including the set back of Chile’s
expected economic growth for 2010.
Odfjell Chile
None of our employees in Chile were hurt
during the incident. Terquim Terminal in
San Antonio resisted the earthquake well,
whereas in the office building both elevators
fell down the shaft. Our Santiago office together with our agents, suffered water damage due to a broken water pipe.
Vopak Terminal in San Antonio where we
normally berth our vessels has today a severe structural damage which is expected to
be repaired within June/July this year. Bow
Americas was the first vessel from our fleet
calling the central zone of Chile after the
earthquake and was delayed approximately
two weeks in San Antonio due to Vopak’s
damages, but also due to the general congestion created by the large amount of vessels waiting to discharge.

By: Sis. Maria Dolores
Odfjell, a benefactor to the
Margaretha Home for the Blind,
participated at the celebration
of the Feast day and the Death
of and 25th Anniversary of the
Beatification of our Founder,
Mother Pauline von Mallinckrodt on April 30. Mother Pauline initiated the care for the
blind of her Congregation, the
Sisters of Christian Charity.

For us, the Sisters, our Lay Associates, our staff and residents
at Margaretha Home for the
Blind, the celebration is our way
of Thanksgiving in her honor. It
gives us the opportunity to be
with guests, to meet and enjoy
the company of so many friends.
We appreciated the presence of
our benefactors, especially Odfjell, who regularly supports us
and make it possible to continue
our mission for the poor and
abandoned blinds here in the
Philippines.

Odfjell Makana visits
Sipucule Creche in Mossel Bay
By Mpho Jaqueline Chaka
Children from the local community playing next to the creche
Odfjell Makana made a follow-up visit to the crèche on 28 April 2010. It was great
to see that from its small beginnings in 1994, under the roof of a shack built out of
wood and metal sheets, the crèche had come a long way to its new home.
The first children started in the new
crèche in September 2007. The crèche is
registered to care for 50 children with an
age range from infants who are just a few
months old to six years old and ready for
school. There are four teachers attending
the children and a cleaner/cook.
Two of the teachers from the creche standing with Mpho
Chaka Odfjell Makana and Guy Barker Rotary Club
Even with the new building we have learnt
that the three classrooms are not sufficient
to cater for the large number of children.
The building also requires some minor
improvements to facilitate better learning
conditions.
All the work that has gone into the building
has been through the help of local charity
organisations, businesses and donations.
The visit was yet another opportunity for
us to see where we can continue to offer
our support. Odfjell Makana is very proud
to have made a positive contribution to
this community through its continuous
donations and support.

GET-TOGETHER IN MUMBAI
By: Manisha Desai
APIC represents an excellent platform for networking between chemical and petrochemical trading and distribution companies plus ship brokers, ship owners, suppliers, tank farm
owners/operators from all over the world. The Indian economy has been quite stable showing great growth potential when the world is now slowly coming out of the economic down
turn, and being the commercial capital of the country, Mumbai was chosen as the host city
for the conference.
In conjunction with the conference Petrochem, one of our clients, organised a get-together
in Mumbai on 13th May at the Grand Maratha Sheraton Hotel. Petrochem’s get-together was
spot-on with more than 150 delegates from the industry attending the cocktails and dinner.

Odfjell sponsors Foskor F21 half marathon
By Mpho Jaqueline Chaka
This year over 700 runners and walkers took part in the event and this was a substantial increase from last year
The annual F21 half marathon event took
place in perfect conditions on 17 April
2010 in Richards Bay, South Africa. Odfjell was proud to be a co-sponsor of the
event for the second year running.
28
The event comprised a 21 km run/walk,
10 km run/walk and 5 km fun run/walk and
offered a challenging course with some interesting uphills and downhills for the runners and walkers. The event also served for
the first time as the official provincial half
marathon championships which meant that
the event would be officially recognised by
athletics authorities. Odfjell Durban staff
competed in different categories on the
day. Odfjell Durban was proud to have their
sponsored super marathon runner, Clement
Nkosi compete in the event.
Overall the day was a great success with victories not only taking place on the finish line
but to all those who played a part in making
the event a success.

Holsen took part in the 21 km road race for the first time
and managed to finish in a very good time

By Recreation Committee
At the Odfjell Reception. From left: Jone Hognestad, Sarah
Acosta and Paul Hexter
The National Petrochemical Refiners
Association held their 35th Annual
International Petrochemical Conference, March 28-30, 2010 in San Antonio, Texas at the newly built Grand
Hyatt Hotel. However, as tradition
stands Odfjell remained at the Hyatt
Regency where we hosted our annual
cocktail reception Sunday afternoon.
The Odfjell reception has become a tradition for many attendees and even with
the current NPRA location change attendance was up from previous years. The
suite remained quite busy the next three
days with numerous daytime meetings
with old acquaintances as well as introducing several new customers.
Among the room décor were new pictures of the Rotterdam Terminal and
four self standing banners each one a
different picture of an Odfjell ship and
one large backdrop displaying an artistic
image capturing Odfjell in its entirety.
The General Session feature speaker
was William S. Cohen, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, a much sought-after
expert on defense, economic, and international issues.
The Asia and South America markets are
active even in a down economy. Imports
of acetone and isoprene from Asia into
the U.S. Gulf are strong with opportunities for our cross selling efforts. In South
America, Odfjell Tankers and Terminals
continue to participate in the Brazilian
ethanol market.
