Shinwa Kaiun Group <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> 2


To Our Stakeholders<br />

I assumed the post of President/President Executive<br />

Officer as of April 1, <strong>2010</strong>. I am pleased to report<br />

business results for the fiscal year ended March 31,<br />

<strong>2010</strong> (FY <strong>2010</strong>).<br />

At the beginning of 2009, we set up the<br />

Emergency Countermeasure Committee headed by<br />

the former president, with the aim of preventing the<br />

company from falling into deficit. We bolstered the<br />

financial balance sheet through measures such as the<br />

early return of high-cost chartered vessels. At the<br />

same time, we reviewed our fleet scale, investment<br />

and manpower plans, reduced costs and improved<br />

the management and operational efficiency. We<br />

addressed the issue of internal controls, since safe<br />

navigation is our utmost priority.<br />

We were able to upwardly revise our initial<br />

full-year forecast for consolidated ordinary income<br />

due to a considerable contribution from the<br />

unexpectedly robust dry bulk market, particularly<br />

in the capesize bulk carriers, which was supported<br />

by iron ore imports by China, together with our<br />

efforts to improve ship deployment efficiency.<br />

However, in light of the uncertainty clouding the<br />

outlook for our business environment, we have<br />

decided that our best strategy for building a more<br />

solid business foundation is to further reinforce<br />

the competitiveness of our fleet by implementing<br />

the early return of high-cost chartered vessels.<br />

Consequently, we reported early cancellation<br />

fees on charter contracts and so forth as an<br />

extraordinary loss, and income before income taxes<br />

dropped to a low level.<br />

Carefully considering an appropriate return of<br />

profits to shareholders, the Company’s financial<br />

standing, and other factors, we have decided to pay<br />

a year-end dividend of two yen per share for FY<br />

<strong>2010</strong>.<br />

On October 1, the Company decided to merge<br />

with Nippon Steel Shipping Co., Ltd., with the<br />

Company being the surviving company. The new<br />

corporate name is NS United Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd.<br />

While our comprehensive strength is supported by<br />

our client base with long-term contractual<br />

relationships and our broad business portfolio,<br />

which includes natural resources and energy<br />

transportation, the strength of Nippon Steel<br />

Shipping is based on its high expertise in the<br />

transportation of raw materials and fuel for the iron<br />

production industry, as the industrial carrier for<br />

Nippon Steel Corporation. By combining the<br />

respective strengths of both companies, we aim to<br />

further increase our corporate value while<br />

responding in a timely fashion to future changes in<br />

the business environment.<br />

I will assume the position of Representative<br />

Director/Vice President Executive Officer of NS<br />

United Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd.<br />

Your continued support for Shinwa Kaiun and<br />

the Shinwa Group is highly appreciated.<br />

Shinwa Kaiun Group <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong> 6


Sectoral Overview<br />

Eighty-plus percent of the consolidated revenue of the<br />

Shinwa Kaiun Group is from overseas shipping<br />

services, while the coastal shipping services, driven by<br />

our consolidated subsidiaries Shinwa Naiko Kaiun<br />

Kaisha, Ltd. and Shinwa Chemical Tanker Co., Ltd.,<br />

accounts for a little under 20%. The overseas shipping<br />

services comprise Shinwa Kaiun and SHINWA<br />

(SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD., which serve as shipping<br />

operators, Shinwa Marine Corp., which assumes<br />

shipping administration, and overseas owner subsidiaries.<br />

As for businesses other than shipping services, the<br />

Company operates Shinwa Business Management<br />

Kaisha, Ltd., which is engaged in property management<br />

services and entrusted with the administrative and<br />

accounting business of Group members, Shinwa<br />

Systems Co., Ltd., which is engaged in information<br />

systems development and maintenance, and Shinwa<br />

Engineering Services Co., Ltd., which is engaged in<br />

onshore equipment maintenance services.<br />

Operational reviews for overseas shipping<br />

services, coastal shipping services, and other services<br />

for the consolidated fiscal year under review are as<br />

follows.<br />

Overseas Shipping Services<br />

The charter market for Capesize bulk carriers<br />

(170,000-DWT class) was affected by sluggish cargo<br />

movements at the beginning of the fiscal year, due to<br />

production adjustment by steelmakers stemming<br />

from the rapid economic recession following the<br />

Lehman shock. However, average charter rates for<br />

main four routes reached a level surpassing 40,000<br />

U.S. dollars per day because of the recovery of iron<br />

ore imports by China in the second half of the fiscal<br />

year, as well as the recovery of crude steel production<br />

in Japan and Europe, resulting in a gradual increase<br />

in cargo movement and the tightening of supply and<br />

demand for vessels.<br />

In the Panamax bulk carrier (70,000-DWT class)<br />

market, charter rates for the Pacific round service<br />

remained sluggish, at around 10,000 U.S. dollars per<br />

day at the beginning of the fiscal year, because of a<br />

decline in transportation demand for Japan.<br />

However, rates rose to approximately 30,000 U.S.<br />

dollars per day toward the end of the fiscal year<br />

because cargo movements of coal and grain bound<br />

mainly for China and India were increasingly brisk<br />

after summer, and because supply and demand for<br />

vessels tightened, due partly to prolonged ship<br />

congestion in Australia.<br />

In the Handy bulk carrier (30,000-DWT class)<br />

market, charter rates for the Pacific round service<br />

remained sluggish, at approximately 8,000 U.S.<br />

dollars per day in the first half of the fiscal year.<br />

However, cargo movements increased as the world<br />

economy gradually recovered, and the market continued<br />

to show moderate growth. Furthermore, as demand<br />

for vessels notably increased after winter, charter rates<br />

reached a level surpassing approximately 20,000 U.S.<br />

dollars per day at the end of the fiscal year.<br />

While the transport of our main outward cargo,<br />

steel products from Japan to North America, slowed<br />

down, we worked to improve ship-deployment<br />

efficiency through booking combination cargo to<br />

Central and South America, and achieved success.<br />

We maintained stable profits through long-term<br />

contracts for nonferrous ore from the west coast of<br />

South America, one of our main homeward cargos.<br />

In grain transport from the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to<br />

the west coast of South America, we worked to<br />

improve profits through efficient deployment of our<br />

fleet, while benefitting from a market rise.<br />

In near-sea trade using small-sized carriers<br />

(5,000- to 10,000-DWT class), the transport of steel<br />

products bound for China and Southeast Asia<br />

remained at a much higher level than expected, while<br />

demand for the transport of raw materials bound for<br />

Japan was extremely sluggish.<br />

In the field of VLCCs (300,000-DWT-class<br />

tankers), VLGCs (80,000-cubic-meter liquefied gas<br />

7<br />

Shinwa Kaiun Group <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2010</strong>


carriers) and MR product tankers (medium-range oil<br />

product tankers), the balance of supply and demand<br />

significantly deteriorated due to the global economic<br />

crunch following the Lehman shock. Despite a<br />

pickup trend from the fourth quarter, the transport<br />

of crude oil, LPG, and oil products as a whole<br />

remained at a historically low level.<br />

Regarding the chemical tanker business<br />

conducted by SHINWA (SINGAPORE) PTE.<br />

LTD., the delivery of a new vessel in April 2009<br />

brought the number of vessels in the fleet to four, all<br />

of which have operated smoothly. In near-sea dry<br />

bulk activities, despite the impact of the market crash<br />

in the previous fiscal year, we endeavored to reduce<br />

charter rates and improve efficiency in ship<br />

deployment by returning ships with high charter<br />

rates and shifting to short- and medium-term<br />

affreightment contracts.<br />

In this business environment, although our<br />

overseas shipping service was confronted with<br />

negative factors affecting earnings results, including a<br />

settlement loss from fuel oil futures contracts signed<br />

in the previous year, we took measures under the<br />

initiative of the Emergency Countermeasure<br />

Committee, launched in the previous year and<br />

headed by the former president, aimed at returning<br />

high-cost ships early and concluding new<br />

affreightment contracts. While we were able to earn<br />

stable profits through ship deployment to existing<br />

medium- and long-term affreightment contracts on a<br />

timely basis, we were also able to earn higher<br />

revenues than our initial target as a result of flexible<br />

adjustment of our managed ships’ tonnage and<br />

improved efficiency in ship deployment.<br />

Coastal Shipping Services<br />

production cuts by steel makers, but increased in the<br />

second half along with the production of coke, due<br />

to steel makers’ production recovery. The transport<br />

volume of cement remained at a low level because of<br />

sluggish domestic demand.<br />

In respect to Shinwa Chemical Tanker Co., Ltd.,<br />

with regard to the demand for LPG, a declining<br />

trend continued for both industrial and consumer<br />

use due to a downturn in demand. The transport of<br />

petrochemicals and black oil (heavy oil, etc.) fell<br />

short of expectations, affected by a sluggish transport<br />

volume in the first half of the fiscal year. Although<br />

LNG demand for industrial use was sluggish due to<br />

the economic recession, overall transport volume<br />

remained firm, thanks to brisk consumer demand for<br />

LNG as clean energy.<br />

In this business climate we focused on cost<br />

reduction, in conjunction with efficient ship<br />

deployment and operation, in the coastal shipping<br />

sector. As a result, we were able to earn higher<br />

revenues overall than our initial target.<br />

Other Services<br />

Other services are provided by Shinwa Kaiun Group<br />

companies, such as Shinwa Marine Corp., which is<br />

engaged in ship management services; Shinwa<br />

Business Management Kaisha, Ltd., engaged in<br />

property management services and entrusted with<br />

the administrative and accounting business of Group<br />

members; Shinwa Systems Co., Ltd., which conducts<br />

information systems development and maintenance;<br />

and Shinwa Engineering Services Co., Ltd., which is<br />

engaged in onshore equipment maintenance services.<br />

The Group’s business results roughly matched our<br />

initial forecast.<br />

In respect to Shinwa Naiko Kaiun Kaisha, Ltd., the<br />

transport volume of steel products dropped sharply<br />

in the first half of the fiscal year due to significant<br />

Management Structure<br />

Shinwa Kaiun has adopted the auditor governance<br />

model. However, the Company has been<br />

maintaining and enhancing its management<br />

efficiency by forming a board of directors consisting<br />

of directors being well acquainted with the<br />

Company’s businesses. Three of the four corporate<br />

auditors are external corporate auditors, and each<br />

auditor attends meetings held by various<br />

committees, including the Compliance Committee,<br />

in addition to meetings of the board of directors<br />

and executive officers, in order to monitor the<br />

status of management and business execution.<br />

Moreover, the Internal Audit Office under the<br />

direct control of the president monitors the status<br />

of business execution in order to enhance the<br />

effectiveness of corporate governance in<br />

collaboration with the corporate auditors.<br />

The Company has also established a code of conduct<br />

in order to implement its corporate philosophy in<br />

specific terms. In addition, the Company has<br />

established a compliance committee chaired by the<br />

director in charge of general affairs to ensure that all<br />

directors and employees comply with laws, internal<br />

regulations and ethical standards in their execution<br />

of their duties.<br />

Prevention of Global Warming<br />

Global warming is said to be caused by greenhouse gases such as CO2. Vessels need to burn fossil fuel such as<br />

fuel oil to run, and these emit CO2-containing exhaust fumes. At present, the only effective way to reduce this<br />

CO2 gas is to reduce fuel consumption. We are taking the following measures to reduce fuel consumption:<br />

• Use of energy-saving equipment and<br />

devices.<br />

• Improving propulsion performance by<br />

hull cleaning/propeller polishing.<br />

• Speed reduction and best-route planning<br />

in accordance with changing situations.<br />

• Minimizing fuel consumption per<br />

transported unit with efficient shipping<br />

schedules and increased cargo loads.<br />

Installation of Lubricant (M/E Cylinder Oil) Saving Equipment<br />

The vessels owned by Shinwa Kaiun that have cross-head engines are being converted from mechanical to<br />

electronically controlled lubricators to reduce the amount of lubrication and lower cylinder oil consumption.<br />

Cross-head engines use two types of lubricant: cylinder oil in the cylinder liner and system oil in the<br />

crankcase. The system oil undergoes a circulation cycle so that it can be reused. The cylinder oil, however,<br />

cannot be reused because it is burned up inside the cylinders, and<br />

The structure of a cross-head engine this oil must be fed in constantly for the engine to continue<br />

Exhaust valve<br />

operating.<br />

Exhaust<br />

Lubrication ports There used to be mechanical lubricators attached directly to<br />

Lubricator<br />

the engine. These would feed oil at a fixed frequency (once every<br />

one or two revolutions of the engine). Now, however,<br />

Piston<br />

electronically controlled lubricators have made it possible to feed<br />

Air supply<br />

oil accurately and in a way that is appropriate to the main<br />

Piston rod engine’s current operational status. Reducing the wasteful<br />

Cross-head feeding of oil makes it possible to reduce the amount of<br />

lubrication and lower the consumption of cylinder oil. Shinwa<br />

Crankshaft Kaiun is actively engaged in fitting electronically controlled<br />

lubricators.<br />

Management’s Discussion and Analysis<br />

Outline of Operating Results<br />

■ Overall Operations<br />

During the fiscal year under review, as a result of<br />

the successful financial measures which various<br />

countries took in response to the unprecedented<br />

recession triggered by the financial crisis in 2008, in<br />

general the world economy emerged from the worst<br />

phase of the crisis, and the pickup trend increased.<br />

Looking at a regional breakdown, the U.S.<br />

economy staged a moderate recovery as seen in the<br />

improvement in capital investment and personal<br />

consumption, although the U.S. indexes related to<br />

housing and employment remained severe. In<br />

Europe, economies gradually picked up with the<br />

improved business sentiment. However, the<br />

unemployment rates remained high, and the pace of<br />

recovery became sluggish due to the fiscal crises in<br />

Greece and Spain. In China, major economic<br />

indicators remained firm, and large-scale stimulus<br />

measures helped to facilitate a rapid recovery led<br />

by domestic demand. In Japan, although<br />

employment and capital investment failed to fully<br />

recover, the pickup trend increased with<br />

production activities and exports showing signs of<br />

recovery as well as gradual improvement in the<br />

corporate earnings environment.<br />

In overseas shipping, the dry bulk market<br />

experienced large fluctuations in Capesize bulk<br />

carriers during the fiscal year, while small- and<br />

medium-sized bulk carriers remained firm in general.<br />

The tanker market remained sluggish as a whole,<br />

reaching a record low level at the beginning of the<br />

fiscal year. The coastal shipping market remained at<br />

a low level in general due to significant decline in<br />

the transport volume of steel-related products, etc.<br />

in the first half of the fiscal year.<br />

Fuel oil prices remained at a low level in the<br />

first quarter due to the decline in crude oil prices<br />

resulting from the global financial turmoil and<br />

world economic downturn, but then stayed at a<br />

high level with an increase in crude oil prices. As a<br />

result, the average purchase price of fuel oil in the<br />

fiscal year under review declined to about 421 U.S.<br />

dollars per ton, down about 137 U.S. dollars from<br />

the previous year.<br />

The average exchange rate of the Japanese yen<br />

against the U.S. dollar was 93.25 yen in the fiscal<br />

year, which is a 1.75 yen appreciation from the<br />

initial estimate at the beginning of the fiscal year,<br />

and a 7.50 yen appreciation from the previous year.<br />

As for the coastal shipping sector, in the midst<br />

of economic recession following 2009, exports<br />

started to make a partial recovery from September<br />

despite some weakness, inventory adjustment in the<br />

automobile and electronics industries advanced,<br />

and production cuts eased. Accordingly, the<br />

transport of steel products and electric powerrelated<br />

transport remained strong.<br />

Within this business environment, in the<br />

consolidated fiscal year under review, the Company<br />

posted consolidated revenues of 95,106 million yen<br />

(down 28.4% from the previous year), operating<br />

income of 4,796 million yen (down 63.6%), and<br />

ordinary income of 4,053 million yen (down<br />

67.6%). Net income was 1,215 million yen (down<br />

81.8%) as a result of recording an extraordinary loss<br />

of 2,937 million yen due to cancellations of charter<br />

contracts. These cancellations were attributable to<br />

the early return of vessels, implemented as a way to<br />

strengthen our fleet’s competitiveness.<br />

■ Forecast for the Next Fiscal Year<br />

In the next fiscal year, the world economy is<br />

anticipated to continue recovering gradually, and<br />

the overseas shipping market is expected to remain<br />

firm, reflecting strong transportation demand for<br />

iron ore, coal, and other materials in emerging<br />

countries including China and India. However,<br />

concerns remain about appreciation of the yen,<br />

which is the variable factor for earnings results in<br />

the overseas shipping service, and about a further<br />

rise in fuel oil prices. Moreover, there is concern<br />

that the shipping market will deteriorate as a result<br />

of loosening supply and demand for vessels, due to<br />

the large number of completions of new vessels.<br />

These concerns make prospects unpredictable.<br />

In this business environment, for the next<br />

consolidated fiscal year, we expect 110,000 million<br />

yen ✽ in consolidated revenue for the whole year,<br />

operating income of 7,000 million yen ✽ , ordinary<br />

income of 6,000 million yen ✽ , and net income of<br />

3,500 million yen ✽ . The above projections assume an<br />

exchange rate of 90 yen to the U.S. dollar and an internal<br />

bunker C fuel oil price of 540 U.S. dollars per ton.<br />

✽ The effect from the merger with the Nippon Steel Shipping Co., Ltd. is<br />

excluded from the amount.<br />
