Adjustment Rules 2010:

1. The fuel surcharge will be adjusted on a monthly basis and will be valid for one calendar month.

2. The surcharge will be calculated based upon a one month average USD per barrel price for (IPE) London Brent Crude Oil as quoted by Reuters, converted into the respective currencies in the matrix above.
The conversion rate will be the average for the same one month period, as quoted by the Swedish National Bank.

3. The adjustments will take place on the 1st of the month.
To facilitate new BAF rates on the 1st of each month, the calculation is
based on the average Brent crude price and USD rate of exchange up to the 25th of the previous month (i.e. January is based on 26 November to 25 December).

New restrictions on sulphur in fuel oil

Within the framework of MARPOL two major changes will affect shipping in the ECA (Emission Control Area) areas, the Baltic and the North Sea, in 2010.

The Baltic
1. Starting 1 January 2010 only fuel with a maximum of 0.1% sulphur content (Gasoil) may be used while in the ports. In the Baltic a surcharge of SEK 1.28/EUR 0.13 per lane meter will therefore go into effect to compensate us for this increased cost.

2. Starting 1 July 2010 only fuel with a maximum of 1.0% sulphur content may be used while at sea. This change will also increase our fuel costs for which we must be compensated. We will provide more information at a later date.
