Ocean Carrierspresented byFranko KulagaGuergana AnguelovaMoritz Broelz
AgendaIntroductionProject FactorsMethodologyResultsSensitivity AnalysisRecommendationsDiscussionIntroductionOcean Carriers owns and operates Capesize vessels that carry iron ore worldwide.Round cape horn longer and riskier routes.Mainly chartered for 1-, 3-, or 5-year periods, occasional spot market charter.
January 2001: proposed lease of a ship for 3 years beginning in early 2003Daily charter rate: $20,000 per day, with annual escalation of $200 per dayNo ship in fleet meets the requirements Commission a new capsize carrier?Option 1: Ocean carriers is US firm (35% tax)Option 2: Ocean carriers is HK firm (0% tax)

Methodology
Yearly Operating Costs Growth = 1% + Inflation (3%) Net working Capital = Inflation
1.2. Calculate net cashflows for every year
Results1. Actual cost of the new capsize vessel:Capesize is bought in 3 installments discounted at 9% = $33,738,397.44
IRR = NPV of 0 = Break-even WACC
2.
NPV At Different Deviations From BaseDeviation from Base CaseOperating Cost Growth RateAvg.

What if an important variable changes to an adverse condition?
RecommendationsVerify Consultant Firm Projections!
RecommendationsCaution:Worldwide capesize fleet relatively newIn market downturn -> excess capacity (supply)!What would happen to spot-charter rates?
RecommendationsPractical implications possibly influencing decision:Seek less expensive financing (BEP = IRR)Gaining a new customer:Who?How much business in the future?What about Iron Ore markets apart from Australia & India?
