Samskip Multimodal Short Sea and Multimodal Business www.samskip.com 1

Samskip Group Profile • Samskip is a globally active company offering transport and related services by land, sea, rail, inland waterways and air. • Dutch based. • Group revenue is 500+ M Euro shipping over 850.000 TEU annually. • 1.230 Samskip employees, of which 460 are in the Euro 350 M short sea and multimodal business. • Samskip operates 55 offices in 23 countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, North- and South America. www.samskip.com 2

The European Transport Market International and National Intra-EU freight transport: • Trucks (47.3%) • Seagoing ships (37.8%) • Rail (11.2%) • Inland waterways (3.7%) • Trucks dominate inland EU freight transport with a 76.1% share of the tonne-kilometres and about 94% of the CO2 emissions. www.samskip.com 3

Key Facts • Multimodal competing effectively and efficiently with road transport. • Certain of Samskip’s multimodal products are faster than accompanied trailers. • Not “just environmentally friendly” but cost efficient. www.samskip.com 5

Market Context and Trends Short Sea and Multimodal • Substantially increased interest in multimodal products: – Trailers eliminated from the market past 3-4 years – and this is accelerating as we speak as refinancing is not available for small and mid sized operators – Increasing fuel cost and road taxation – Customer risk management • Declared EU Objective : 300+ km = multimodal, not road www.samskip.com 6

What Do Customers Want ? Or : Sustainability from a customer and operator perspective • Key Parameters – “Price” – Reliability and predictability – Security of supply – Speed – Sustainability • Cost Efficiency = The Right Combination – Short Term versus Long Term ? • Environmental sustainability a bi-product of cost efficiency ? • End consumer increased awareness of sustainability • Cost will in the end always be shouldered by the end customer and end consumer www.samskip.com 7

EU Transport Policy Drivers • Taxation to drive behavior • Subsidies to promote policy Good Intentions – Attention to Unintended Consequences • Who to listen to ? • Broad and close consultation required with carefully selected industry operators and associations – and still be critical of their motives. • 0.1% Bunker Sulphur legislation January 1 st 2015 = substantial shift away from short sea to rail and (back) to road in many trade lanes. • Substantial cost increase for European transport industry (Euro 1 B) and substantial increase of congestion and CO2 pollution in many areas. www.samskip.com 8

EU Transport Policy EC 2011 White Paper Key to efficient transport : • Consolidation of large volumes for transfer over long distances, in between the so-called first and last miles. • Above some 300 km : Significant rebalancing - 30% road freight shifting to multimodal solutions by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050. • Major challenge : Reduce the environmental impact of intra-EU freight transport without sacrificing its efficiency (= cost). • Focus obviously need to be on the road industry, which as an added benefit alleviates crippling congestion. www.samskip.com 9

Multimodal Equipment www.samskip.com 11

Multimodal Equipment Innovation • Samskip and DSM jointly developed a light weight composite 45foot High Cube Pallet Wide container for European multimodal market. • 20% lighter than steel • Steel frame with walls of propriety developed and patented composite panels, glues and building techniques • Successfully real life field tested by Samskip for over one year. • Assist in taking cargo off the road and onto more environmentally friendly transport solutions (rail, barge and vessels or a combination). • Carry more cargo weight or carry the same cargo weight whilst using less energy. • Composite walls, unlike steel, insulate cargo from outside temperature. • Flat instead of corrugated walls make cargo loading/unloading operation easier. • Composite walls have longer lifetime than steel, will not corrode and easy to clean. www.samskip.com 12

Why Multimodal Competitive advantages • Lower total cost of multimodal transportation combined with reduced carbon footprint • Hedging against capacity shortage – Less trailers & structural lack of drivers • Increased reliability and less volatility – Traffic jams: road (and port) congestion due to increasing intercontinental trade – Oil price: fuel cost is a relatively larger cost component for trailers • Inventory optimization – In transit: storage in transit (rolling stock) – Flexible: higher (operational) flexibility (potential delays, use of off dock depots) • Safety & Security – Stowage: less lashing and securing requirements – Pilferage: lower risk of theft www.samskip.com 15

Why Multimodal Competitive advantages (2) www.samskip.com 16

Issues – Now and In Future • Infrastructure – Rail paths and rail monopolies – Multimodal terminals – Collection and delivery facilities – Fixed infrastructures with monopoly / minimal competition risk • Seamless connectivity • Legislation – consultation with real, major operators – less political process • Still cumbersome procedures multimodal and short sea versus road • Consumer attitudes – cost and sustainability • Risk management – avoid two step forward and one back • Role of sustainability on the Board agenda www.samskip.com 17
