BRAEMAR SEASCOPE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Commodity producers and traders form the majority of our customer base and we strive to provide them with freight market intelligence and commercial support to enable them to maximize control over their cargo movements and the associated economics to sell on a delivered basis (or buy on an fob basis in case of imports).

We appreciate that this is not always possible and we seek to equip FOB sellers (cfr buyers) with sufficient freight market information to enable them to benchmark existing freights to ascertain the real landed cost of their product.

Braemar Seascope's activities straddle many industries and as such many different commodities. This enables us to draw intelligence from a broad contact base whether they be commodity or transport based.

Braemar Seascope now has a resource dedicated to new project developments. This supplements Braemar Seascope's day-to-day chartering activity and addresses a number of factors specific to shipping sensitive to freight movements. This may include the development of

- freight strategies,

- examination of economies of scale through
employment of larger vessels
measured against port infrastructure
development/capital investments

- competitor shipping profiles/economics

- historical performance of the freight
market generally and commodity specific
