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 />

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 />
