Page 35: Recent Hull Claim Trends The cause of recent claim trends: Crew, congestion and harder trade, or purely a matter of inflation? Astrid Seltmann CEFOR Analyst/Actuary

Summing up special claim trends

• Sharp cost increase of all claim types

• No frequency increase for any claim types

• Overall increase in claim per vessel for nearly all vessel types and claim types

Congested waters, shortage of qualified crew, harder trade, etc.…

=> Should have had less homogenous effects and effected the frequency?

3.c. Cost driving factors – Ship operating costs

How Moore Stephens index of ship operating costs has increased.

Ship operating costs continued on a relentless upward path through last year with the average increase across all vessel types running to 8.5%.

- Hull policies / premium payments often in USD.- Repair costs paid in local currency at site of repair yard or affected by spare parts, labor costs etc. paid in other currencies than USD => weaker dollar = higher repair costs in USD

USD weaker USD weaker

Summing up cost driving factors

÷ Increase in ship operating costs

÷ Increase in steel prices -> repair costs

÷ Weakening of USD -> premiums paid in USD, claims affected by other currencies -> increase in repair costs (or reduced repair quality)?

? Increase in global trade volume and values -> ships driven harder, less time for maintenance – or compensated by a larger and more effective world fleet?

? Is slack and off-hire good…?
