Analysis of total losses in 2005

• 6 bulk carriers over 10,000 dwt have been identified as total losses for the year 2005 out of a growing world dry bulk fleet (over 10,000 dwt) estimated as 6,071 ships .

• 8 crew members lost their lives.

• 6 bulk carriers lost with an average age of 24.00 years, compared to an average age of 15.20 years for the world bulk carrier fleet over 10,000 dwt.

Page 21: INTERCARGO International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners

21

INTERCARGO

• 0.16 million dwt lost out of a total of 340.50 million dwt for the world bulk carrier fleet over 10,000 dwt, accounting for 0.04%.

• Concentration of casualties once again occurs in the smaller sizes of bulk carriers.

• Two other serious incidents occurred, but contrary to press reports given at the time of the incidents, these bulk carriers will be repaired and returned to service. These vessels were the Hua Ling (IMO No.7392878) and the Vertigo (IMO No.8417601).

INTERCARGOKiperousa, bulk carrier

IMO No.: 8407278

Date of Casualty: 7 Jun 2005

Gross Tonnage: 14921

Deadweight: 25370

Built: 1984

Flag: Malta

Class: Russian Maritime Register of Shipping

Voyage to/from: From Gabon and Cameroon to China, fully loaded with 4,671 logs

Location of incident: Off South Africa’s Eastern Cape coast, south-west of East London

Loss of life: None

Comment: The log carrier Kiperousa, aground off South Africa’s Eastern Cape coast, south-west of East London, was declared a total loss by insurers. This was after it became obvious that efforts to pull the ship clear on the spring high tides were not succeeding, despite more than half the cargo having been removed ashore by heavy lift Mi26 helicopter. It is understood the damage to the ship’s hull was too great to ensure a successful salvage.

INTERCARGO

Casualties to-date in 2006

• ‘Alexandros T’ has been tragically lost during 2006 with the loss of 26 crew members.

• ‘Setsuyo Star’ was a near miss – also off S.Africa

Total Losses in 2006: 6 ships + 37 livesvis-à-vis 9.6 ships + 37 losses of lives average per year over the past 10 years

Page 32: INTERCARGO International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners

…trend downwards:

2006 (to 11.06) – 6 losses / 1 structural

2005 – 6 / 1

2004 – 5 / 1

2003 – 4 / 0

…. 1996 – 14 losses

Casualties

Page 33: INTERCARGO International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners

• Casualty analysis must be viewed within the context of fleet growth

• Casualty rates remain consistent

• Assuming no further casualties in 2006, loss rate will be around 1 per 1,000 vessels (1996-2.6)
