This presentation contains forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) concerning operations, cash flows, and
financial position of Seaspan Corporation (“Seaspan”), including, in particular, the likelihood of its success in
developing and expanding its business. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to
future events or conditions, or that include words such as “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,”
“plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “will,” “may,” “potential,” “should,” “guidance,” and
similar expressions are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent Seaspan’s
estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation and are not intended to give any
assurance as to future results. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this presentation. Although these statements
are based upon assumptions Seaspan believes to be reasonable based upon available information, they are
subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: future growth
prospects and ability to expand Seaspan’s business; Seaspan’s expectations as to impairments of its
vessels, including the timing and amount of currently anticipated impairments; the future valuation of
Seaspan’s vessels and goodwill; potential acquisitions, vessel financing arrangements and other
investments, and Seaspan’s expected benefits from such transactions; future time charters and vessel
deliveries, including future long-term charters for certain existing vessels as well as the likelihood of
consummating any such transactions; estimated future capital expenditures needed to preserve the
operating capacity of Seaspan’s fleet including, its capital base, and comply with regulatory standards, its
expectations regarding future dry-docking and operating expenses, including ship operating expense and
general and administrative expenses; Seaspan’s expectations about the availability of vessels to purchase,
the time that it may take to construct new vessels, the delivery dates of new vessels, the commencement of
service of new vessels under long-term time charter contracts and the useful lives of its vessels; availability
of crew, number of off-hire days and dry-docking requirements; general market conditions and shipping
market trends, including charter rates, increased technological innovation in competing vessels and other
factors affecting supply and demand; Seaspan’s financial condition and liquidity, including its ability to borrow
and repay funds under its credit facilities, to refinance its existing facilities and to obtain additional financing
in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate activities; Seaspan’s
continued ability to meet its current liabilities as they become due; Seaspan’s continued ability to maintain,
enter into or renew primarily long-term, fixed-rate time charters with its existing customers or new customers;
the potential for early termination of long-term contracts and Seaspan’s potential inability to enter into, renew
or replace long-term contracts; the introduction of new accounting rules for leasing and exposure to currency
exchange rates and interest rate fluctuations; conditions inherent in the operation of ocean-going vessels,
including acts of piracy; acts of terrorism or government requisition of Seaspan’s containership during
periods of war or emergency; adequacy of Seaspan’s insurance to cover losses that result from the inherent
operational risks of the shipping industry; lack of diversity in Seaspan’s operations and in the type of vessels
in its fleet; conditions in the public equity market and the price of Seaspan’s shares; Seaspan’s ability to
leverage to its advantage its relationships and reputation in the containership industry; compliance with and
changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, and the effect of
governmental regulations on Seaspan’s business; the financial condition of Seaspan’s customers, lenders,
refund guarantors and other counterparties and their ability to perform their obligations under their
agreements with us; Seaspan’s continued ability to meet specified restrictive covenants and other conditions
in its financing and lease arrangements, its debt instruments and its preferred shares; any economic
downturn in the global financial markets and export trade and increase in trade protectionism and potential
negative effects of any recurrence of such disruptions on Seaspan’s customers’ ability to charter Seaspan’s
vessels and pay for Seaspan’s services; some of Seaspan’s directors and investors may have separate
interests which may conflict with those of its shareholders and they may be difficult to replace given the anti-
takeover provisions in Seaspan’s organizational documents; taxation of Seaspan’s company and of
distributions to its shareholders; Seaspan’s exemption from tax on U.S. source international transportation
income; the ability to bring claims in China and the Marshall Islands, where the legal systems are not well-
developed; potential liability from future litigation; and other factors detailed from time to time in Seaspan’s
periodic reports.
Forward-looking statements in this presentation are estimates and assumptions reflecting the judgment of
senior management and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Seaspan’s control. Actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, these forward-
looking statements should be considered in light of various important factors listed above and including, but
not limited to, those set forth in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in Seaspan’s Annual Report for
the year ended December 31, 2018 on Form 20-F filed on March 26, 2019, and the “Risk Factors” in Reports
on Form 6-K that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, from time to time
relating to our quarterly financial results.
Seaspan does not intend to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any change in
Seaspan’s expectations or events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Seaspan expressly
disclaims any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether because of
future events, new information, a change in Seaspan’s views or expectations, or otherwise. You should
carefully review and consider the various disclosures included in this Annual Report and in Seaspan’s other
filings made with the SEC, that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect
Seaspan’s business, prospects and results of operations.

Key Industry Terms Defined
Industry Players
Companies that transport goods through regular
transit routes on fixed schedules. Container shipping
liners use large containerships to transport goods
from one location to another.
Vessels Measurements
Ship owners who lease their assets to liners,
providing the latter with an attractive alternative to
full ownership of their operating fleet.
A third party that sources and consolidates cargoes
from various beneficial cargo owners and negotiates
with liners to arrange the shipment. Freight
forwarders can also arrange the crucial connection
services and formalities on behalf of a shipper.
Beneficial Cargo
Owners (BCO)
Owner of the goods, who takes full control of their
cargo at point of entry in the country of importation.
Small ships that often distribute cargo between large
hub ports and smaller regional ones.
These ships were the standard in container shipping
for many years, until more recent advances in
shipbuilding provided the means to maximize
economies of scale.
Acronym for “very large container ships.” A segment
which entered the market in 2006,
and have a capacity of 8-14K TEU.
ULCS
Acronym for “ultra large container ships.” The most
recent player to enter the market, with a capacity of
more than 14K TEU. These ships can only call the
largest and deepest ports in the world.
Acronym for “twenty-foot-equivalent” unit. This is the
unit used to measure the capacity of containerships
and terminals. The average long cargo box you see
measures 2 TEU.
Price lessors charge to lease their ships.
The actual box rates Liners charge the end customer
of the goods.
CO2 Emissions
The carbon dioxide emissions produced when using
fuel to drive an engine. The more fuel-efficient or
“green” a ship is, the lower its CO2 emissions will be.
