Commercial exposure (on the water) $CMBT • Dry bulk: meaningful spot exposure with strong Q2 fixtures levels • Tankers: spot exposure and profit splits capturing exceptional volatility • Containers & chemicals: predominantly long-term charter coverage • Offshore: increasing forward coverage across CSOV and CTV fleet 👉 Diversified exposure across shipping cycles and contract profiles.

Windcat (Offshore energy) $CMBT – Positive outlook Demand • Strong offshore wind and oil & gas activity supported high CSOV utilisation through winter • Governments accelerating energy security investments and offshore projects • Most European CTV fleet already booked for 2026 maintenance season Supply • >20 CSOV deliveries expected in 2026, but no new orders placed in Q1 • Limited CTV fleet growth and continued industry consolidation 👉 Strong project pipeline and energy security trends continue to support demand.
158
Bochem (Chemicals) $CMBT – Cautious outlook Demand • Chemical tanker markets impacted by lower Middle East export volumes • Longer sailing distances and vessel dislocation supported rates near term • Chemical tonne-mile demand forecast: -2.1% in 2026 Supply • Fleet growth projected at 8.9% in 2026 and 6.4% in 2027 • Trade fundamentals weakened as Gulf exports declined 👉 Freight resilience contrasts with softer underlying market fundamentals.

Delphis (Containers) $CMBT – Cautious outlook Demand • Red Sea and Hormuz disruptions continue to reshape global container flows • Port congestion and rerouting support near-term utilisation • Global TEU-mile growth expected at only 1.1% in 2026 Supply • OB/F remains elevated at 37.7% • Fleet growth projected at 4.7% in 2026 and 7.6% in 2027 👉 Operational disruption supports rates short term, but supply pressure remains significant.

Euronav (Tankers) $CMBT – Positive near-term outlook Demand • Strait of Hormuz disruption removed meaningful VLCC & Suezmax capacity from effective supply • Longer-haul Atlantic Basin trades boosted tonne-mile demand • Inventory restocking could support markets once flows normalise Supply • OB/F: VLCC 27.4%, Suezmax 28.0% • Aging fleet remains significant: >40% of fleet older than 15y 👉 Geopolitical disruption tightened supply and supported tanker earnings.

Every great journey begins somewhere: At a port, with cargo, with confidence. And Mineral Kwangyang 광양 carries that origin proudly in its name. The vessels of this series honour where they were built, where they departed, and the people who built them.

Bocimar (Dry bulk) $CMBT – Positive outlook Demand • Iron ore trade remains resilient, supported by stable Chinese imports and major miner output growth • Guinea bauxite exports 14.8% YoY in Q1 2026 • Coal trade strengthened on gas supply disruptions and higher LNG prices Supply • Capesize OB/F: 14.6%, Panamax: 14.3% • Slower speeds, congestion and geopolitical rerouting tighten effective supply • Aging fleet: by 2030, ~39% of fleet expected to be >20y
