CEO STENA AB COMMENTS
ABILITY TO COMPETE IS BUILT
ON ABILITY TO PERFORM
Our business can only be sustainable if we every day, through effective performance,
contribute to our clients’ success.
The successes this year for our clients, partners and society
include our commitment to safe operations, which continues
and our dedicated crews have managed to decrease Lost Time
Incident Frequency (LTIF), further in most business areas from
already low levels. Our officers and crew on board the ships
that Northern Marine manage for Stena Bulk have delivered
a fine result for safety and performance. The yearly average
number of observations per vetting inspection was 2.6 – a
record low. In October Stena Drilling could celebrate 12
months straight with zero Lost Time Incident (LTI) for their
whole fleet; the remainder of the year was also LTI free. They
also delivered best in class operational performance of 98%
for the year, ensuring always to be our clients’ first choice.
One example is our client Hess, who chartered our drillship
Stena Drillmax and stated “we are amazed the unit could drill
a well with zero Non Productive Time”.
Through several innovative projects our shipping and ferry
operations have increased their energy efficiency and decreased
the environmental footprint. Overall fuel consumption (measured in metric ton per kilometer) was this year reduced by an
average of 15% for the whole fleet. Stena Property’s target is
to reduce energy consumption in their properties by 20% over
ten years. Since commencement in 2010 electricity has so far
been reduced by 9.1% and heating by 8.1%..

STENA INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2014
The annual Customer Satisfaction Surveys for Stena Line
once again showed that 51% of travelers gave us the highest
grade possible (very satisfied) while freight customers rated
our services 4.2 out of maximum 5. As one freight customer
puts it; “I represent the ‘small customer’ who do not travel so
frequently, but always feel welcome and always get a friendly
and professional treatment”. No wonder the Stena Line network of 22 lines increased their freight volumes by 5%. In
effect Stena Line is developing into a very important part of
sustainable European infrastructure.
Stena Property continues to improve their service index
and they are now among the best within their segment of
­companies with more than 9,000 apartments, a proof that
caring for our tenants by close dialogue and mutual projects –
“Relationship Management” is working very well.
Innovation is a way to constantly improve. Since commencement our internal innovation programme in Stena Line has
generated 11,000 proposals for improvements of which 1,700
have been put into action.
When it comes to cost cutting Stena Line reduced their
costs with MSEK 200 and the rest of Stena AB cut their
­administrative costs with an additional MSEK 135.
”The mantra for each
of us is education,
education”

CEO STENA AB COMMENTS
Competence development
Our business is expanding. At present for instance 386 sea-­
cadets are undergoing our education programme and we
spent MSEK 160 last year on education.
Northern Marine Group, who provides ship management
services, were trusted to open an advanced joint training
center of excellence in Glasgow on behalf of their clients
Chevron Shipping. First class instructors and simulators will
enhance knowledge and safety at sea – the combined investment in this venture is in excess of MUSD 20.
Affecting Stena as everyone else the digital information and
communication technologies are radically changing the way
we produce, transport, trade, consume and train ourselves. It
is evident that technology creates new products and companies as well as new ways of doing business. New options for
products and services are developing. It gives us the chance to
sell especially our travel services more cost effectively. It gives
us also the chance to remain in constant contact with our clients and the chance to immediate communication between
ourselves and our business partners. Although the transaction
cost is cheaper over the internet, not everything will happen
via the web. We still need to be in personal contact with each
other in many cases. Many interesting combinations based on
old businesses are developing. The common denominators
though are more efficiency, more transparency and contact
24 hours a day seven days a week.
Knowledge develops fast at the moment and is in principle
open for everyone, who is searching for it. The mantra for
each of us is education, education, education. Every year
everyone, especially Stena employees, must in addition to consistently acting adequately consider how to improve in order
to keep abreast of their work. Apart from developing functional education with our employees, we are undertaking
intense courses in leadership in a systematic way for 120
selected talents. It is our hope this programme for effective
leading and managing effective teamwork can include more
people over time. Every-one of our employees is this year
undertaking exercises in care and results, we call it we-learning, one objective being to understand people´s feelings and
help each other professionally and often with empathy to
improve our business-performance.
Markets
Who had expected the oil-price for Brent to be under USD
80/barrel? Now it has happened with dire consequences for
oil-companies and the oil-service industry. With five out of
seven drilling units on long term contracts we are better
placed than most companies to weather the storm, provided
we pay consistent attention to everyday effective performance. Luckily the tanker market develops substantially better
with rates at its highest for many years. Our ferry business is
helped by the European economy doing better. Thanks to
increasing volumes the results of our ferry business is now
breaking even. With the acquisition of ten ships in the past
three years, we are well placed to expand our business. With
most of our property business invested in residential houses
we have a steady income in our Swedish business area. Our
commercial investments in the Netherlands are suffering from
a bad market, whereas we are doing well in London, Sofia
Antipolis in France and Houston. Stena Adactum, our area for
new businesses, has now a cash flow representing one tenth
of our consolidated cash flow.
It is of course positive that our properties increase in value.
As their cash flow does not increase proportionately and we
want to keep and develop our assets instead of selling them,
we are not completely happy with the development.
Since year end we have sold three RoPax ships with profit
and are happy that this market is stabilising.

Values
This year’s profit before tax increased to MSEK 2,053 in Stena
GAAP and to MSEK 2,799 in IFRS terms and increase with
MSEK 450 and MSEK 650 respectively. Our total equity including deferred taxes amount to MSEK 42,842 in IFRS terms
excluding surplus values in ships. The marine side of our business today account for 57% of our assets while real estate and
Adactum accounts for 43%. In 2018 due to relatively fast
depreciation of marine assets we expect the marine side to
equal the non-marine side of our business, asset wise. Excluding Properties and Adactum the marine side of our business
this year generated an EBITDA of 14% to book value of our
net assets and 9% to original investment.
To operate in several industry segments insures stability in
today’s world with so many global economic, political and
environmental uncertainties. It is an important task not only
for now but also for the future to secure our company´s total
resilience and at the same time implement leading ambitions
in everything we do.
Normally we have liquidity to weather a three year storm.
With more than SEK 20 billion in liquidity at present we feel
secure to weather any storm for the next five to six years.
Trading outside Sweden we meet more cost-conscientious
cultures. Our strength is capacity to see concepts and to foster
long term relations by living up to set standards. Our delegated system giving authority to and following up by objectives is good provided it is checked and supported by impeccable financial control and education in the trade. It is important
to keep the trading or action style element of our culture alive
and at the same time base our acts and performance on facts.
Care, innovation and performance are the lead-words for
our organisation. It does not harm to repeat our beliefs. Our
performance is measured by technical availability, safety, customers´ accolades, repeat business, costs and profit. Innovation is measured in terms of number of proposals by our
employees and the proportion being implemented. In short
we try to transform mindfulness into action. Care is about
being the best in terms of our financial success, our customers´
success, our employees’ success, our partners´ success and our
societal success. The words of our employees are:
Strategy
Pay attention to and transform mindfulness into action is one
of our mottos. Another one is – Small enough to care and big
enough to cope.
Regularly we follow up on our success factors namely Financial success factors, Customer related success factors, Strategic
success factors, success factors related to Collaboration and
success factors related to Communication. Our visions extends
normally over five years, with three year objectives and one
year objectives.
Our foremost strategy though is to be equipped and well
prepared for opportunities, if and when they do arise.
Lately we ordered with partners seven Suezmax tankers and
ten IMOIIMAX-product tankers at the lowest prices quoted so
far. We have bought ten RoPax vessels on the second hand
market. We have ordered two MidMAX semisubmersible rigs,
with an option to cancel one unit, to replace very old midwater units by far better performance criterions. We bought
and sold two real estate properties in London. Beginning of
2015 we sold our line Helsingborg–Helsingör and in the past
year we acquired the line Rosslare–Cherbourg.
A company that is not developing its activities will eventually have to close them. Our ambition is to keep on developing. We believe forecasting prices is not really doable. Securing
competitiveness by effective performance we can control and
we concentrate on that.
•Caring leads to Sharing – it is spelled Sustainable
Development and Working Partners both inside company
with visible employees and visible suppliers.
•Caring creates a commitment to Service and Customers´
personal satisfaction fitting to customers’ systems with
KPIs and technical solutions.
• Care drives excellence – Excellence is not an act; it is a habit.
•Care for Financial Results is Caring for Profit, Cash and
Asset Maintenance
•Care for Competence Assurance and Reassurance by
training and education.
• Care is much more than just four letters in a document….
Consequently one person is responsible to see to it that we
live up to our soft values in form of style, skills and staff, while
my deputy officer is responsible to secure that systems, structures and strategy are in place and adhered to.
So – Take Care!
With these words I would again like to thank everyone for
their support and mindful contributions during 2014. As 2015
seems to be a better year for everyone except for Stena
Drilling we have good reasons to continue living in hope.

SHIPPING AND FERRY OPERATIONS
STEADY COURSE IN
CHANGING CONDITIONS
Who could have anticipated that oil prices would fall by 50% at the end of year 2014? We had
it in one of our business scenarios, but it was certainly not our base case. Six months ago it was
hardly possible to find anybody who was speaking about an oil price around the USD 50/barrel
level. Currently it is difficult to find an analyst that envisages high oil prices in the short term
perspective. Most of our businesses are both volatile and unpredictable, but we have to use
that to our advantage.
For Stena it is less about trying to anticipate the future and
more about having financial and intellectual ability to act,
adjust and adopt to change. With falling oil prices our strategy
of having a diversified portfolio of activities is put to the test.
The falling oil prices is positive for our ferry activities and we
are currently seeing strong tanker markets, even though its
correlation with oil prices is less evident. Overall the performance of our shipping businesses improved during 2014 and
we anticipate the trend to continue during 2015.
Our drilling activities have, in terms of financial returns,
­outperformed other shipping activities in Stena for almost ten
years. The strong performance in the drilling segment has
­enabled us to invest counter-cyclically. Over the past few years
we have taken significant positions, for example the world’s
two largest RoPax ferries now trading between Hoek of
­Holland and Harwich. Another example is that Stena RoRo
successfully acquired ten second hand vessels, at favorable
prices, over the past three years.
Yet another example is the ten IMOIIMAX product tankers,
acquired together with partners and to be operated by Stena
Weco, that are being delivered with three-month intervals
from early 2015. We were able to take these positions, at
attractive prices, despite that the underlying businesses themselves did not ­warrant such investments. Now the tide has
turned and these assets will surely carry us through the next
part of the cycle.
Irrespective of whether markets are up or down, our focus
and ambition is to be “best in class” when it comes to opera-
6
STENA INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2014
tions and business execution. The transportation of goods will
never stop, and if we continuously are our customers’ first
choice we will always have employment for our vessels.
­Operational excellence, through high quality, high service
level, reliability and being very close to our customers, is therefore our strategy. Through the network of 22 ferry routes in
Stena Line, by way of Stena Sonangol, the world’s best performing Suezmax pool, and Stena Weco/Golden Stena Weco,
now operating about 60–70 MR and Intermediate tankers, we
have platforms that give us scale and reach to be able to manage our assets better than any competitor. Further developing
these platforms by enhancing our ability to create value for
our customers and reducing our costs are the key priorities for
the next years. The age profile of our fleet and the capabilities
our vessels represent, give us the opportunity to avoid larger
new investments in the medium term. We are in good shape.
But we must never rest or relax. Operational excellence
requires constant vigilance and focus on every detail. With
over 150 large vessels trading around the globe, we carry
­significant operational risk and our crews are our most important asset. The shipping industry is continually improving its
track record when it comes to emissions, spills and accidents.
However, every incident is a failure and the consequences can
potentially be significant. Further increased focus on safety
and adopting best practices across our different companies
will, all going well, lead to a year without fatalities, with no
discharges to the sea and no collisions. Our ability to improve
ourselves and to set a standard for our industry is crucial for
”We are in good shape.
But we must never
rest or relax.”
our long term success. In northern Europe the whole shipping
sector is being put to the test by the new rules on sulphur
emissions, the SECA. We continously have to be able to
demonstrate that we are the most environmentally friendly
and cost effective way of transporting goods. In 2014 we
connected the ferry Stena Danica to the district heating grid
(“fjärr­värmenätverket”) in Gothenburg, powered by 100%
green energy. In 2015 Stena Germanica will be the world’s
first v­ essel to be powered by methanol, a quantum leap when
it comes to reducing emissions. Fuel efficiency, sustainability
and safety are issues that traditionally have been hallmarks of
Stena and they will, to an even larger degree, be part of
our future.

SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABILITY
FOCUSING ON SAFETY
AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Stena Care is about creating value and success in every part of the Stena companies’
activities and in all stakeholder relationships. Stena’s sustainability work is based on
three pillars: economic, environmental and social responsibility.
The Stena Group contributes to the development of society in
various ways. Shipping and ferry operations carry freight and
private passengers, as well as oil and gas, thereby helping to
increase trade and meet global energy needs. Stena also helps
to secure energy supply by producing renewable electricity
and providing many people with safe homes in the Group’s
properties. The environment, safety and community involvement are the sustainability issues identified as most important
for Stena.
Continuous improvement measures
Shipping is the most energy-efficient mode of transport in
­relation to cargo volume, and about 90% of world trade is
conducted over the oceans. Technological development is
important – one of Stena’s newly built tankers uses about
25% less fuel than previous generation vessels of a comparable size. There are major environmental and economic gains
in improving handling.
SUSTAINABILITY AT STENA IS BASED
ON THREE PILLARS:
•financial responsibility, with the aim of contributing to
­e conomic development;
•environmental responsibility, where the goal is to reduce
the Group’s impact on the environment; and
•social responsibility, where the fundamental approach is
to act ethically in everything the Group does.
More than 200 projects have been completed under Stena
Line’s energy-saving programme since it was initiated in 2006.
These include installation of frequency-controlled equipment
for pumps and fans, improvement of combustion in engines
and optimisation of cargo.
Stena Bulk has come a long way in fuel efficiency measures
in recent years, and the focus in 2014 has been on simplifying
the work of the operators, thus facilitating saving measures.
Each trip is undertaken with an energy budget, which is
­monitored and compared with statistics from other trips on
the same route or with the same type of vessel. Speed, consumption and weather forecasts are included in the planning,
in order to achieve optimum effects in terms of both economy
and environment.
Fuel consumption for the entire fleet in 2014 increased
by 3% in absolute figures as a result of an increased fleet,
­volumes and distances. At the same time, fuel efficiency
improved by 14.7%, measured in tonnes/kilometre, and 2.2%,
measured in tonnes/nautical mile.

STENA INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2014
THE SULPHUR DIRECTIVE – AND A WORLD FIRST
On 1 January 2015, a new sulphur directive came
into force for shipping in the Baltic Sea, the North
Sea, the English Channel and the coasts of North
America. Under the directive, the maximum permissible sulphur content for marine fuels is reduced
from 1% to 0.1%. The consequences for the
­shipping industry have been significant, as vessels
­sailing in these areas have either had to switch to
more expensive low-sulphur fuels or invest in various types of exhaust cleaning systems on board.
However, this also means a further reduction in
the already low emission levels, particularly sulphur
oxides (SOX) but also dust and particulate matter
(PM), which will allow shipping to consolidate its
position as the “green” transportation option.
To meet the new directive in the best way for
each vessel, Stena uses several alternative solutions.
An exciting project involves evaluating a brand new
fuel for shipping. In 2014, it was decided to convert
the ferry Stena Germanica to run fully on methanol,
which will substantially reduce SOX, NOX and PM
emissions. Following the conversion, she will be the
world’s first methanol-powered ferry.
High safety level
Community involvement beyond the norm
Safety is of utmost importance in all activities within the Stena
Sphere. Stena Line works systematically on safety issues. Despite
this, a tragic accident occurred during the year in which an
employee died during the unloading of a ship in Frederikshavn.
As a result, procedures have been reviewed and safety has been
particularly improved in the interface between ship and quay.
During the year, Stena Drilling introduced training for senior
crewmen on drillships and rigs. The aim is to improve their
ability to see the root causes of why accidents occur, which
will make them more adept at avoiding accidents in the future.
The ­rigorous safety work is also producing effects. In October,
Stena Drilling celebrated a year without any LTIs on all seven
units.
For more than 12 years, Northern Marine has worked in
accordance with a method called Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)
to prevent work-related accidents and injuries. By reporting
unsafe conditions, actions or near-miss situations, a proactive
and positive safety culture is created on board. In 2014, a total
of 5,948 potential incidents were reported which could then
be dealt with before they led to actual incidents. This is an
increase of 17% compared with 2013, and is clear evidence
that the system works.
Stena Property’s sustainability work is firmly rooted in the
business concept of long-term ownership and development
of attractive residential and commercial premises in good
­locations. To a large extent, this is based on community
involvement in the property portfolio areas.
Through its own Relationship Management concept, the
company develops sustainable residential and workplace
­environments. The purpose is to create involvement and
increased responsibility for tenants by allowing them more
control over their living environment. In concrete terms,
­Relationship Management means that Stena Property engages
in a number of projects and activities that provide safety,
well-being and stability in the residential areas, with a focus
on children and young people. The projects include ­summer
jobs for 300 young people in the residential areas, work experience, homework help, arts and cultural activities, environmental stewards, planting days and “library in the laundrette”.

AN EFFICIENT LOGISTICS
­NETWORK FOR THE FUTURE
At year-end 2014, Stena Line operated 22 routes in Northern Europe, with 42 ferries.
Stena Line also owns five ports and is an important part of Europe’s trade and
­infrastructure. Managing this business in a cost-effective, safe and environmental
friendly way is a daily challenge for our dedicated employees at sea and on land.
In January 2012, Stena Line launched its change programme
for meeting the challenges that the European shipping industry faces. This work has been successful in many aspects during
2014. This applies particularly to the company’s efforts to
increase freight volumes.
larger tonnage on the Holyhead–Dublin route. The success is
also a result of Stena Line having expanded its efforts to
­identify new customer segments. Contracts secured include
for instance AB Volvo and Volvo Cars on the Gothenburg–Kiel
route. Stena Line also purchased the vessel Stena Superfast X
during 2014.
Freight
By offering one of Europe’s most comprehensive transportation network, Stena Line has increased freight volumes by 5%,
despite a lack of growth in the underlying economies. One
reason is intermodal expansion, with new trains from Poznan
in Poland and Verona in Italy to Kiel and Rotterdam, which has
been very successful. The logistics network was developed
during the year through a partnership with Mann Lines, giving
our network a west–east link from Harwich to Turku.
In response to increased demand from freight customers,
Stena Line has expanded the fleet, adding two new vessels to
the Irish Sea and North Sea routes and replacing a vessel with
Travel
On the travel side, Stena Line has been successful in establishing new and appealing customer concepts. One result has
been lower shop prices, which is a competitive advantage,
particularly in Scandinavia where shopping is an important
part of the travel experience.
Stena Line has launched an updated digital booking platform, which has had an increasing number of visits and a high
conversion rate. The platform provides the basis for further
development in digital media.

Stena Line continues to be in a challenging situation,
with the new tough sulphur emission legislation implying additional costs of about MSEK 500, general cost
increases and increased competition from tunnels and
bridges. However, the goal is not to have to deliver a
negative result in 2015.
To ensure the company’s long-term success, Stena
Line must be able to provide competitive logistics
­solutions for our freight customers, and offer enjoyable
experiences to our passengers. Professional and
­dedicated employees is our most important asset.

STENA LINE
During the spring 2014, Stena Line acquired a route
between Great Britain and France. This has given Stena Line
an important foothold in the French market and further
expanded its logistics network.
the year. The most important aspect of the company’s operation is that it is always carried out with a high level of safety.
The two large sister vessels Stena Hollandica and Stena
­Britannica, which were taken into service in 2009 on the North
Sea routes and have a capacity of 5,500 lane metres, have
improved from a low utilisation rate of 30% to a high 50%.
In Scandinavia, Stena Line is challenged by the weak economy, particularly in Denmark. Management must develop the
company’s market position to ensure long-term profitability
for these important routes to Denmark.
The measures Stena Line has implemented have increased
revenue. In addition, the company has reduced costs by just
over MSEK 200, which has improved the overall result for
2014. The company is optimistic that it will be able to continue
to strengthen results in the coming years.
Operation
Stena Line’s efforts to coordinate purchases and reduce the
number of suppliers has continued in 2014, and these have
been optimised and systematised through a coordinated
approach to purchasing. One example is the collaboration
with the Spanish winery Francisco Gomez, where a large
­purchasing volume of the organic wine Casa Galvis makes it
possible to offer customers high quality at a low price.
Great progress has been made in optimising the route
­network in the form of timetables and capacity. Where it has
been considered appropriate, the company has introduced
standard tonnage, creating a higher degree of flexibility, while
new ships have been placed in service where a sustained
increase in demand is expected.
Environment
Stena Line’s environmental work is centred on reduction of
emissions into air and sea, and has focused on measures to
reduce energy consumption for some time. The target is an
annual reduction of 2.5% in bunker consumption per nautical
mile. The target was exceeded in 2013, but a higher cargo
intake, increased displacement and unusually severe weather
in the Irish Sea in the first quarter meant that total consumption was only reduced by 1.4% in 2014.
When the threshold value for sulphur emissions in the SECA
area was reduced to 0.1% in January 2015, Stena Line was
well prepared. The main solution was to switch fuel to MGO
(marine gas oil). Another option was to use scrubbers, which
clean the exhaust gases. Stena Line will be installing scrubbers
on one of its ships in autumn 2015. Perhaps the most exciting
measure is the conversion of Stena Germanica to become the
world’s first ferry to run on ­methanol. The conversion was
completed in March 2015.
Low cost operator
Systematically improving our operational excellence is a goal
that we have worked on since 2012. High-priority areas in
2014–2015 are development of expertise in terminal handling,
purchasing, optimisation of on board staffing and simplified
shore-based administration. This is a long-term and systematic
process aimed at providing Stena Line with an operating
model that is cost-effective and delivers reliable and high
­quality.
Passenger safety and security is always in focus for all Stena
Line employees. Safety is developing in the right direction in
terms of both lost time incident frequency and the number
of observations during inspections and work on safety must
never cease. Even so, a tragic fatal accident occurred during

“Purchasing used to be decentralised. Now we have a

different products from a large number of suppliers to
­purchasing large volumes from fewer suppliers. Where
­previously we could have more than 20 different brands of
coffee on different ships, we now have one. Large volumes
and our own transport provide high quality at low cost,”

STENA DRILLING
STENA DRILLING
FOCUS ON SAFETY ROUND
THE CLOCK, ALL YEAR ROUND
Stena Drilling is one of the world’s leading independent drilling operators. The company
operates globally from its head office in Aberdeen, Scotland, with four drillships for
ultradeep water and three semi-submersible drilling rigs. With several successful new
­newbuildings and refurbishment projects, Stena Drilling has been a pioneer in several
areas of technological development and innovation in the offshore industry.
In South Korea, work is progressing on the drilling rig that
Stena Drilling ordered in 2013. The contract signed with
­Samsung Heavy Industries covered two semi-submersible
rigs, with an option to cancel one unit. The option has been
extended and means that Stena Drilling can make a decision
in the spring of 2015.
Stena Clyde was employed on several short contracts during
the year, the last with CAL Energy, expired towards the end of
2014. At the end of 2014, the drilling rig was at a shipyard in
Singapore for its SPS. This is a mandatory inspection every five
years to ensure that high safety standards are met. During an
SPS, the unit’s propellers and drilling equipment are removed
and maintenance work is carried out on them, while the hull is
also examined.
During the coming year, Stena Forth will go into dock for an
SPS lasting 60 days starting in May 2015. Stena Don will
undergo an SPS later in 2015.
The contracts for Stena Spey, Stena DrillMAX and Stena
­IceMAX are continuing. Stena Drilling had a longer contract
with Statoil for Stena Carron, which lasted until the third quarter of 2017. Statoil decided to cancel this contract in 2014 and
pay a cancellation fee. Stena Drilling believes that there are
good opportunities to sign a new, favourable contract for the
drillship.

TOM WELO > CEO
2015 will be a special year, with reduced investments
in many markets. Our customers are very happy with
what we deliver, which gives us a good position
despite the slump in oil prices at the end of 2014.
The next few years will be marked by considerable
uncertainty about macroeconomic factors. Some of
this is associated with the US presidential election in
2016, which may affect international demand for oil.

STENA INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2014
Safety in focus
Stena Drilling has had a very successful year, particularly from
a safety perspective. In October 2014, the company was
pleased to announce that Stena Drilling’s seven units had
completed twelve consecutive months without any lost-time
incidents.
The reason for this successful result is Stena Drilling’s
far-reaching and tangible safety work. Safety is not the
responsibility of a separate department, but is an integral part
of the line organisation’s operational responsibility. Management of the drilling units plan and conduct the day-to-day
work, and ensure that safety is given the highest possible
­priority. Any deviations from normal are documented and
­evaluated at safety audits seven days per week.
Personnel
Through its operations, Stena Drilling employs about a thousand people on the seven units. The challenge lies in recruiting
the right people to work on board. As employees spend a
month at sea, they need to have the understanding and the
right attitude to be away from their family for a long period.
Since 2007, Stena Drilling has had a low employee turnover of
6% per year. Almost 50% of people who leave the company
return. This is largely because employees see themselves as
part of the company, in that they are given responsibility and
authority to participate in the business.
Future development of the industry
For a number of years, international oil companies have
invested large amounts in the business. This trend has slowed,
while unrest in the Middle East and uncertainty in Russia have
led to reduced activity in these areas. In Brazil, the petroleum
industry continues to be very important for the region.
The contracts that Stena Drilling has remain positive. The
company has a good reputation and a very high utilisation rate
for its units, which reached 98% in 2014. With our best in
class operation, we guarantee a high level of customer
­satisfaction and the company is therefore well equipped to
respond quickly to a changing market.

EXPANSION PLANS
AND A GROWING FLEET
Stena Bulk is one of the world’s leading tanker operators, offering safe and
cost-effective transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products by sea.
This requires a holistic perspective – from development and construction to
crewing and chartering of first-class tankers.
The results for 2014 were significantly better than expected
and the strongest since in 2008. The main reason is a positive
development for the company’s Suezmax and Aframax class
crude oil tankers, although our product tankers also showed
a positive trend.
Freight rates for our crude oil tankers rose by over 60%
­during the year. Stena Weco’s MR market for clean petroleum
products had a weak start to the year, but made a strong recovery at the end of the year and Stena Weco reported a profit
above expectations. The recovery was largely attributable to
new refineries, longer transport distances and falling oil prices.
Both Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool and Stena Weco
­continue to be prominent in terms of triangulation (efficient
logistics system).
Stena Bulk’s three LNG tankers Stena Blue Sky, Stena Clear
Sky and Stena Crystal Sky are employed on time charters.
­Particularly notable was their extremely high utilisation rate
and the fact that they were in operation every day during
2014. The high utilisation rate is a result of our safe and efficient operation of the vessels, which places the company in a
good position to meet customer expectations. These factors
ensure that Stena Bulk’s offering in the LNG segment is still
attractive to the market.
Fleet expansion
Stena Bulk’s fleet consists of vessels owned by the company
itself and vessels owned with partners. There are also vessels
that are chartered for short or long periods and commercially
managed vessels. The total fleet comprises about 115 vessels,
which is an increase of about 20 vessels since 2013.
Within this expansion, the Stena Weco system has been
expanded by an average of ten vessels, which means that it
consisted of about 60 ships at the end of 2014. Stena Weco is
­planning roughly the same fleet increase in 2015, and this will

ERIK HÅNELL > CEO
Stena Bulk is measuring up well to its defined goals
and the business has delivered significantly better
results than expected. For 2015, the goals have been
made even higher. We expect to maintain or increase
our market share in a growing market. Demand for
transportation of crude oil is expected to increase by
2% and for transportation of products and chemicals
by 5%. Stena Bulk is well placed to deliver stronger
results than in 2014.

include four of the IMOIIMAX vessels scheduled for delivery to
Stena Bulk and its partners in 2015.
Golden Stena Weco is a joint venture between Stena Weco
and Indonesia-based Golden Agri-Resources, which produces
and trades in vegetable oils. Golden Stena Weco, which carries
chemicals as well as vegetable oils, has shown very positive
growth in earnings and volumes during the year.
In 2014, Golden Stena Weco took delivery of the five vessels
purchased in 2013. In addition, the company has expanded its
fleet by contracting a number of vessels on time charters. This
brings the total fleet to 15 vessels, compared with the seven to
eight vessels the company had available the previous year.
Golden Stena Weco’s aim is to continue its growth through
freight contracts and favourable logistics.
The size of Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool has varied between
20 and 25 vessels and had largely the same number of vessels
in 2014 as in 2013. Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool is one of the
most energy-­efficient pools in the world and has the highest
income of all comparable competitors. The aim is to continue
the growth so that the pool encompasses 30–35 vessels.
During the year, we sold our 35% ownership share in
­Paradise Tankers, which had comprised co-ownership of three
Panamax vessels. In connection with the transaction, we
acquired one of the tankers.
In early 2015, we sold Stena Calypso.
Extended operation in Asia
A joint office for Golden Stena Weco’s operations was established in Singapore in 2012. The partnership has developed
22
STENA INTERNATIONAL S.A. 2014
very positively and Golden Agri-Resources’ promised freight
volumes have also materialised. The total increase in freight
volumes is 20%. Golden Stena Weco’s expansion has enabled
the company to extend its operations, resulting in further
recruitment.
Business at Stena Bulk’s Singapore office has also increased
as a result of changed trade patterns. Now that the United
States has reduced its imports of oil from West Africa and
Venezuela, increased volumes are turning to Asia, bringing
more business to the Singapore office.
Impact on society
With bunker consumption accounting for 40–80% of shipping
costs, a reduction in energy consumption has a major impact
on the overall economy. Stena Bulk has succeeded in improving its annual energy efficiency by up to 12% over the last two
years. An important reason for this success is the company’s
continuous improvements to technical solutions. Other explanations are energy management, optimisation and the individual energy budgets that are produced for each vessel before
every trip. Overall, costs have been reduced by MUSD 8 during
2014.
In 2014, a school was opened in Angola as part of a joint
initiative of Stena Bulk and Sonangol. The purpose of the initiative is to share the expertise that Stena Bulk possesses and its
long-term outcome may be an increase in the local supply of
well-trained seafarers. Learn more on page 26.

EXPERTISE IS OUR
COMPETITIVE EDGE
Stena RoRo provides vessels, innovative solutions and project management. Its
­customers are operators and shipping companies around the world. The company’s
expertise, dedication and financial resources create customer value, growth and
profitability, and make it an attractive place to work.
The European RoRo and RoPax markets have been challenging
for a number of years. Stena RoRo, which charters out vessels
to other companies mainly in Europe, is naturally affected by
these market conditions, but is standing up well against the
competition. Due to the weak market, Stena RoRo has been
able to invest counter-cyclically in ten vessels during the last
three years. The company buys ships when demand is low,
renovates them in order to charter them out and eventually
sell them when the market improves.
The RoRo segment is still affected by oversupply of vessels.
A large number of ships were ordered before the financial
­crisis and delivered around 2010.
The RoPax market is in better balance. The market has
­virtually no newbuilding to speak of and we are also seeing
scrapping of smaller and older vessels and a rearrangement of
vessels – ships that were previously operated in European
waters now being employed on Asian routes, for example. This
means that ships on charters outside Europe are strengthening
the European market, while older ships are phased out in Asia.
Renovated ship chartered out
Part of Stena RoRo’s business concept is to establish charter
operations in markets where there is growth. With this in
mind, the company chartered a RoPax vessel to the Chinese
shipping company Bohai Ferries in June 2014. The vessel in
question, Hoa Sen, had been laid up for more than two years
when Stena RoRo bought it from the Vietnamese state shipping company Vinalines. After five months of extensive renovation, the vessel is now on charter between China and South
Korea, under the name Stena Egeria.
Stena Alegra will again be chartered out to the state
­shipping company Interislander of New Zealand. The prelude

to the deal was a damage to one of Interislander’s ships in
late 2013 leaving Interislander in great need of a replacement
­vessel. Stena RoRo’s response meant that the companies were
able to quickly agree on a six-month charter contract, and a
month later Stena Alegra was delivered to Wellington in New
Zealand.
The new and longer arrangement means that the vessel has
to undergo an extensive upgrade and refurbishment to meet
the customer’s requirements for the route. The ship will have
stabilisers installed and new customised interiors. These works
will be completed in a shipyard in Singapore. This is a good
example of Stena RoRo’s long-term ambition of delivering
optimised vessels to our customers.
Another major event of the year is the purchase of D
­ ieppe
Seaways, now renamed Stena Superfast X. Stena RoRo negotiated and completed the transaction on behalf of Stena Line.
The acquisition was made at favourable terms. Before the
ship was taken into service in February 2015, it underwent an
extensive upgrade and ­customisation for Stena Line’s Irish Sea
routes.
To secure Stena Line’s tonnage requirements on the Irish
Sea, Stena RoRo was commissioned by Stena Line to renego­
tiate two long contracts for Stena Superfast VII and Stena
Superfast VIII.
The Mercy Ships Foundation provides advanced free medical care on board the world’s largest civilian hospital ships in
some of the poorest countries in the world. At the end of
2013, the ­Foundation ordered another ship and Stena RoRo
was commissioned to carry out the transaction on a commercial
basis. Stena RoRo has designed and procured the ship and is
responsible for project management and supervision during
the c­ onstruction period.
PER WESTLING > CEO
Over the next two years, the RoRo market is expected
to remain challenging, although the outlook appears
somewhat brighter for the larger ice-class RoRo tonnage with scrubbers installed. In 2015, new stricter
sulphur regulations are being introduced within the
Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECA) and will affect
the entire industry in the areas where the new
­directive applies – for our o
­ perations this is particularly
the case in northern Europe. For RoPax vessels, we see
a balance between supply and demand, and we are of
the opinion that the market will strengthen in the
future.

ANOTHER YEAR OF
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Northern Marine Group (NMG) provides ship
management services to the Stena Sphere and selected external clients through
our global network of offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Gothenburg, Houston,
Manila, Mumbai, St. Petersburg, Shanghai and Singapore.
In recent years the shipping industry has been characterised by
slim margins and low profitability in general. The focus on cost
control remains a priority for vessel owners, on the premise of
no deterioration in the standards or quality of onboard operation. Despite these challenging conditions, a number of clients
have experienced fleet growth during the period, and Northern Marine welcomed the opportunity to provide ­technical
management services for these additional vessels.
Additionally a new subsidiary company, Northern Marine
Ferries Ltd, was established in January 2014 as part of the
wider Northern Marine Group restructure, to consolidate the
experience capability in managing RoPax and RoRo vessels into
a standalone company, thereby enabling greater focus on the
specific requirements of the vessel type. During the year we
have also implemented a new Safety Management System
(SMS) to better support the particular requirements of RoPax
and RoRo vessels.
Center of Learning and Development
The construction of the Chevron Center of Learning and
­Development within the grounds of the existing Northern
Marine headquarter in Glasgow continued in 2014. The new
building, Scotia House, was fully completed by the end of
September 2014, and was officially opened in late October
by Stena CEO Dan Sten Olsson, Carl-Johan Hagman, Shipping
Director of Stena AB, and Mike Carthew, President of Chevron
Shipping Company LLC. The Center has been established
to deliver and maintain the highest standards of safety and
operational excellence on the Northern Marine and Chevron
fleet of v­ essels. With the help of advanced simulators the
Center is dedicated to the training of all mariners sailing in
these fleets. These facilities will assist both companies in
meeting the ­training requirements of the maritime and offshore industry. The combined investment in this venture is in
excess of MUSD 20.

­generating better fleet utilisation and a better commercial
outcome for each voyage. Northern Marine has always
been at the f­ orefront of developing engineering solutions to
improve energy efficiency management. This proactive approach
has ensured that the Group is in a position to take advantage
of advances in technology for the benefit of their clients and
the environment.
Objectives 2015
Northern Marine’s approach is always to be proactive in every­
thing we do, never more so than in the mission to excel in health,
safety and environmental performance. Focus to reach energy
targets and to follow best management practices to achieve
the defined goals is priority.
The continued focus on process safety and further development of the Behaviour Based Safety programme to prevent
accidents and incidents will extend throughout 2015, supporting the objective to provide the safest possible working environment for all employees.
HUGH FERGUSON > MANAGING DIRECTOR
The financial pressures on companies operating in the
shipping industry show no signs of decreasing, indeed
the cost of meeting the increasing regulatory requirements of our industry each year prove an additional
challenge.
Shipping tends to be exposed to cyclical e­ conomic
changes. However, for 2015 as in every year, the safe
and efficient operation of the vessels must remain
stable and sustainable. This must be achieved with
equally sustainable cost efficiency, all of which can
only be achieved by professional staff providing first
class management services.

NORTHERN MARINE GROUP > CASE MARITIME TRAINING CENTERS
NEW TRAINING CENTERS
ON THREE CONTINENTS
With the opening of multi-million dollar Maritime training centers in three ­
different continents in 2014, Stena once again demonstrated the company’s
long term commitment to seafarer training at the very highest level.
2014 was a year of significant achievement in the training of Stena seafarers,
with the opening of multi-million dollar Maritime training centers in Scotland,
Angola and the Philippines.
The Clydebank Training Center in Glasgow incorporates a 100 seat Auditorium
and greatly enhances the induction of all new UK Northern Marine and Stena Line
employees to the Stena Group. The adjacent newly opened innovative and state
of the art Simulator Center, shared with Chevron Shipping, is designed to provide
quality teamwork training to our officers, develop and enhance their operational
performance and equip them with the skills necessary to lead the seafarers of
the expanding Stena fleet.
The new maritime campus in Angola, Centro De Formaçã Maritima de Angola
(CFMA), is a superb example of international partnership and vision, and will play a
significant role in developing Angolan seafarers for the future in co-operation with
Sonangol.
In the Philippines more than 2,000 seafarers will receive the highest standard of
maritime and offshore safety training at the new Maritime Safety Training Center.
These achievements demonstrate the long term commitment of Stena in
equipping our present and future seafarers with the education, skills and individual
talent development to crew the expanding Stena fleet and continue to compete
at the very highest level.

One of the advantages of being part of CFMA staff is
to have the opportunity to interact with international
maritime training institutions and international shipping
companies such as Stena, which in turn provides a positive synergy that I believe can be productive and very
useful for all parties involved.
CFMA is making a significant contribution to the promotion of the maritime industry in Angola that will lead

The IMOIIMAX vessels will be 25% more energy-efficient
than previous generations of vessels of a comparable size. This
is because the hull, propeller design and main engine have
been optimised for the vessels' intended use. These vessels
also offer significantly higher cargo flexibility than comparable
vessels, which brings major competitive advantages.
The first four vessels are being delivered to Stena Bulk, its
joint venture partner Golden Agri and Concordia Maritime
in 2015. At the end of 2014, the first of these vessels, Stena
Impression, underwent sea trials in the South China Sea and
was delivered in January 2015. Another four vessels will be
delivered in 2016 and the final two in the series in 2017.
For Stena Drilling, work continues on Stena MidMAX, a
semi-submersible drilling rig designed to withstand the North
Sea's harsh weather conditions. The North Sea has the strictest regulations in the world in terms of safety and working
conditions on board, and Stena MidMAX will easily meet all of
these requirements. Delivery of the unit is scheduled for 2016.

Development projects and environmental benefits
On 1 January 2015, new restrictions on sulphur emissions in
the SECA areas were introduced. Stena Teknik has worked
closely with Wärtsilä to develop methanol as an alternative
fuel. Wärtsilä has converted an engine for methanol operation, and tested it in Trieste with successful results. Stena
­Germanica is being converted to run on methanol and work
began in late January 2015. The vessel is expected to be able
to run fully on methanol in autumn 2015.
Another area of development Stena Teknik is working on
is the All Electric project. The company is working with
­Scandlines to examine the feasibility of converting vessels on
the Helsingborg-Helsingör route to electric operation, thereby
eliminating emissions and reducing noise. The technical
­challenges are primarily in recharging the batteries during the
short period when the ferry unloads/loads and finding a solution that supplies the port with sufficient power. Battery costs
are still a very large item in the calculation and EU funding has
been applied for in order to complete the project.
Energy-saving system
Stena's overall target is an annual reduction of 2.5% in energy
consumption per nautical mile. Stena Teknik is responsible for
the Stena Energy Efficiency Group which meets once a quarter. The project involves Stena RoRo, Stena Bulk, Northern
Marine Group and Stena Line, and its purpose is to ­collect and
share experiences and ideas between the companies about
how to save energy.
Stena Teknik is running a programme with Stena Line to
monitor fuel consumption on board. The system shows every
moment of a vessel's consumption and provides information
to the vessel's management who can then more easily adopt
measures that will allow a reduction in the vessel's energy
consumption.
The new IMOIIMAX series has been developed in collaboration between Stena Teknik
and Guangzhou ­Shipyard International
(GSI). A total of ten sister ships are being
built at the shipyard in China.
HARRY ROBERTSSON > TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
We continue our efforts to develop and improve
­maritime safety. Stena Teknik will examine how other
industries’ systems can be adapted for shipping. An
interesting area of study is how the support systems
being developed in the automotive industry can be
implemented to further increase safety on board.

Stena Impression is the first IMOIIMAX class vessel, the latest generation of fuel-efficient
­product and chemical tankers. She was christened in February 2015 and during the next two
years will be followed by nine sister ships from the Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI)
shipyard in China. The cooperation between Stena and GSI has worked well, even when
Stena has set high standards.

Project Manager Stena Teknik

"It is a known fact that GSI has a management team that sees responsiveness as a
competitive advantage," says Jacob Norrby, Stena Teknik's Project Manager for the
construction of the IMOIIMAX vessels.
"The yard is different from many others. They listen and have made every effort to
meet our requirements in both the design phase and during the actual construction."
To ensure the vessel type measured up to Stena's high requirements, Stena chose
to extend the design phase by one month in order to take advantage of the very
­latest technology.
"We were, for example, able to install the very latest model for the main engine,
developed for higher efficiency, thus allowing lower bunker costs. IMOIIMAX has
world-leading low energy consumption," says Jacob.
"In addition, the design with 18 cargo tanks makes the vessel very cargo-flexible.
As well as being able to transport everything from heavy oil to light chemicals,
­IMOIIMAX is optimised for a maximum intake of vegetable oils. The actual cargo
­system is very effective, leading to high capacity for loading, unloading and cleaning
of the tanks."
During the construction period, Stena Teknik is staffing an inspection office at GSI.
Lars Pennman has been the site manager, leading the process of daily inspections.
The team has included 13 inspectors and a secretary. The vast majority of inspectors
are from China.
"Working with GSI is enjoyable. Although we and GSI may have different views, a
laugh is never far away. However, it is a hard and focused job from the first round of
negotiations before a contract is signed until the delivery date – particularly during
the construction period – to ensure the quality of work is just as high as we expect,"
concludes Jacob Norrby.

CAPTURE UPSWING
Overseas investment needs and the lack of alternative high yielding product led to
increased real estate pricing in various regions, yet global fundamentals remain drivers.
Overseas investment needs and the lack of alternative high
yielding product led to increased real estate pricing in various
regions, yet global fundamentals remain divers.
Stena Realty is Stena Property’s international property company of the Swedish Stena Group. Focusing on commercial
properties, it operates in the Netherlands, France, the UK, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg and the US. Stena Realty also
owns interests in two separate real estate funds. In Sweden,
the portfolio of the Stena property company Stena Fastigheter,
mainly comprises residential units complemented with CBD
offices in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö.
The growth of business confidence in 2014 came from the
availability of capital. Interest was shown in both prime and
secondary real estate as a result of greater liquidity and the
need to deploy capital in this asset class. In many of Europe’s
main markets, growth in values has far exceeded any rise in
occupier activity. Across the Eurozone, in particular, rental
growth is not proven throughout.
Especially core properties are perhaps overpriced in almost
all markets. In this respect, influences from equity-rich (sovereign wealth) funds, pension funds and insurers from overseas

helped to drive the price of core assets in “gateway” cities
such as London, Paris, Milan and Berlin. Consequently this had
a side effect on pricing of assets in direct vicinity of prime real
estate as well on better quality secondary assets. The latter
due to the considerable yield spread and higher risk-acceptance with investors.
This has led to the decision from the Stena Realty management to acknowledge the potential of this market circumstance and capture the substantial value upswing. 100 Leman
Street in London, which was acquired in late 2011 and almost
to become vacant in 2015, was sold mid 2014. The very profitable sales return was considerably outperforming the expected
longer term hold and refurbish strategy. This success also triggered the discussion on our other London assets, especially on
our core-plus building 20 Red Lion Street. At year end a start
was made for potential exit for this building too. We have also
looked into new acquisitions but due to price expectations no
new file was executed.
The above stated very positive results were offset against
the challenging Dutch market results where predominantly
leasing still proved to be difficult. Not only the number of
251,000

transactions, also rents remained pressured and incentives
steep. Consequently values of vacancy show negative trends.
On the other hand our various investments in our buildings are
appreciated and show first leasing results. Further strategies
on modern and alternatives uses are progressed and implemented with positive signs for 2015. Concrete conversion
plans are drafted for The Hague buildings which will be most
likely lead to implementation next year.
Houston proved to be a market with two faces. The general
economics show positive trends with continuing job growth
and consequent office take up in 1H 2014. When global oil
prices dropped by 50% in the second half of the year, especially large corporate energy companies reacted by being careful in taking up new office leases in the final quarter. We
anticipated to lease more in our existing buildings to these
corporate groups in our 2014 budget, yet that target was difficult to achieve in the changing sentiment of the oil sector. Our
Phase I development of approximately 17.500 m2 Class-A
office space was timely and on budget delivered to our anchor
tenant for a 10 year lease. Construction of our 100% preleased Phase II office building at Wood Branch (also 17.500
m2) to the Sasol Corporation started as planned in Q2 and
was fully on schedule at year end for a delivery in April 2015.
France continued to perform very well. The last year created
new business center concept is almost fully occupied throughout the year and generating splendid returns. We have been
able to welcome HP as new large tenant in our Marco Polo site
where we also upgraded our restaurant facility to accommodate more people and better service to our clients.
The construction of our new World Trade Center (6) building faced a minor delay in the beginning as extra hard rocky
ground needed to be removed. This had no negative effect on
leasing as we successfully attracted a 100% GE Healthcare
subsidiary as new anchor tenant for 60% of the development.
At year end discussions were ongoing with tenants for the
remainder of the development. Management believes to have
captured the development upswing at the right moment
where others remained still in this interesting and special
regional market.
Luxembourg remained in a stable good position where we
have made investments in our building in close cooperation
with our strong single tenant to improve the building. The
­relative small market keeps performing well and vacancy rates
especially in the inner city remains at an internationally low
level of around 5%.
Although a strong economic player in the EU, Germany had
a pale year as a region. Germany is performing stable albeit
not very profitable. Our assets might require an adjusted strategy going forward due to location and age. In Hungary the
Budapest market is bottoming out with some positive political
and economic indicators. We have started to plan for building
refurbishments and various upgrades to main lobby area and
some floors to re-market the building next year as the Budapest market is showing positive signs on recovery. Management will target to benefit from this trend.
Our overall investments in our existing portfolio were an
approximate amount of MEUR 53 to construct, upgrade and
fit out according to latest regulations and market wishes,
where possible in a sustainable manner. On various parts of
our portfolio refinancing was performed successfully with various international banks ensuring a healthy financial position of
our company for the upcoming medium term.
The Stena Realty group's net result for 2014 amounted in
MEUR 16,6 with a strong cash position for future acquisitions
and other investments.
RONALD VISSCHER > MANAGING DIRECTOR
2014 was a year of recovery in major markets in EU
and the US. The Nordics kept performing well attracting foreign investors trying to get some of the market
besides the domestic investors. London clearly was
leader in deployed real estate funds from overseas
and seen as “safe haven”. Simultaneously yield targeting equity players also diversified substantially in the
higher yielding EU regions and assets like Ireland,
Spain, The Netherlands, taking position for anticipated economic growth in coming years. The financial
market improved and lenders showed more faith but
are still cautious in some of their terms. Other banks
are still downsizing real estate allocation and trying to
improve solvability. In oversupply markets like The
Netherlands redevelopments to different asset use is
dominating over new build developments. This is an
integrated part of the Stena Realty strategy; invest in
the quality our portfolio to innovative market needs
of our respective clients and care about sustainable
relationships now and for the years ahead.

Stena Finance’s main task is to manage the funding requirements of the Stena Group, both
short and long term. Stena Finance also manages the operational business units’ financial risks
in the interest rate, currency and oil markets. In addition, Stena Finance manages the Group’s
liquidity and financial investments. Another important role is to act as a resource for the
­operational units when identifying and analysing new business deals.
The global economy continued to climb further during 2014,
mainly led by the United States. Activity in the US economy
has been steadily expanding and continues to show much
strength. Households financial situation has become stronger
thanks to debt deleveraging and growing wealth. An increasingly strong labour market will probably lead to gradually
higher wages and the first US increase in Interest Rate in many
years is now approaching. The euro zone, on the other hand,
is suffering from weak demand as well as weak growth and
structural problems, which is why the European Central Bank
has cut policy rates to zero and is signaling that additional
monetary easing can be necessary.
There is good potential for a solid growth in most Asian
emerging markets. Strong labour markets are helping to drive
domestic demand. An important issue for the Asian economies
is how big deflationary effect the weak Japanese yen will have.

In January 2014, Stena issued a ten-year MUSD 600 unsecured note in the US to extend its amortisation profile and
reduce debt under the revolving credit facility. In February
2014, Stena International S.A. issued a ten-year MUSD 350
note and a MUSD 650 seven-year term loan with a low capital
repayment rate. The bond and the loan are secured by the vessels Stena DrillMAX and Stena Carron. This transaction was
also designed to extend Stena’s maturity profile and free up
more liquidity.
In 2013, Stena Drilling contracted two semi-submersible
drilling rigs for MUSD 800 each with option to cancel one
unit. In July 2014, the financing (MUSD 574) arrangement
was concluded for one rig.
Liquidity also opens up good, long-term investment opportunities in equities and bonds.
Stena AB is funded largely through the banking system and
the European and US bond markets. Together with credit
f­ acilities and vessel loans, this generates good financial
strength and flexibility. Total available liquidity as of 31
December 2014 was SEK 17.7 billion.
Thanks to successful new financing, the Group’s financial
position continues to be very strong.
Portfolio management
During the year, Stena reduced its exposure to the oil and gas
sector which helped to prevent the losses from falling stock
markets in this sector. Management of financial investments
experienced a modest result in 2014 with an average return of
3%. Bonds and other alternative investments performed well,
with a return higher than comparable index.
The equity portfolio consisted of around 50 companies
which are listed on Nordic, European, U.S. and Asian markets.
The total value of Stena Finance’s equity and bond portfolio
was SEK 6,4 billion as at 31 December 2014, compared with
SEK 5,7 billion on 31 December 2013.
PETER CLAESSON > CEO
We are very pleased with the capital market activities
we conducted in spring 2014. The extension of our
amortisation profile and strengthening of our liquidity
further consolidates our financial position. The investment activity is planned to be reduced, while our
strong liquidity increases our financial flexibility. Our
new bond issues, long-term financing and locked­-in
future cash flow leave the company very well equipped
for the future.
