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.

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

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

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 1st 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.

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.

Multimodal Equipment Innovation
12
• 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.

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

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
