Eur.1) 25927 Saudi Arabia 6870 GDP per capita Factors influencing demand • Consumer expenditures and general economic conditions A) Low income, basic need coverage B) Rising income changing spending (eating) habit. Economy in focus by multinationals (Distribution network/promotion). C) Consumption reaches top point. Rising income triggers substitution to more sophisticated fruits STAR Reefers AS, as managers for STAR Reefers Inc Rådhusgaten 23, N-0158 Oslo, Norway

  19. Factors influencing demand cont. • Currency exchange rates • Since the main export areas are USD economies and the largest import areas are EUR economies, USD/EUR fluctuations have a significant impact on consumers demand of reefer products • Non economic variables • Changes in consumer preferences/taste/trends • The effect of political decisions (Import ban, taxes) • Availability of domestic volumes either from own production or from volumes in continued improved storage facilities • Climatic factors • Banana regime up for revision in 2006 • Market access for developing countries STAR Reefers AS, as managers for STAR Reefers Inc Rådhusgaten 23, N-0158 Oslo, Norway

  20. Factors influencing supply – Reefer vessels order book vs scrap Source: Orion Shipping • The reefer fleet (above 300 cub. ft.) consists of around 505 vessels, equivalent to around 233 million cub.ft. (Source: Drewry) • The reefer fleet reached its peek in 1993, and has slowly been reduced due to historic low rates in the period from 1998 – 2002, and consequently very limited newbuilding • The order book is presently at 0.5 million cub.ft. • The drop in second hand values for reefer ships has not been reflected in new building prices, hence little anticipated new building activity going forward STAR Reefers AS, as managers for STAR Reefers Inc Rådhusgaten 23, N-0158 Oslo, Norway
