Standard Supply AS: Commercial update for March 2023

12 Apr 2023 07:00 CEST

Oslo, Norway, April 12th 2023

In March 2023, Standard Supply AS (Standard Supply) achieved time charter
equivalent earnings (TCE) of approximately USD 12,900 per day and utilization of
90%. Since the last commercial update, the Company has fixed the Standard
Defender for approx. 120 days in the North Sea at an undisclosed rate.

“Since late February three more vessels have commenced period charters, and with
the recent improvements in the spot market we are now seeing meaningful higher
TCE’s across our fleet. This trend has continued into April. Presently we have
seven vessels employed on fixed charters at an average rate of c. USD 16,000 per
day, while our two spot vessels are earning an average of c. USD 18,000 per day”
says Martin Nes, Chairman of the Board of Standard Supply.

“The Company’s operating cash breakeven is around USD 7,700 per day, and we
remain committed to our strategy of distributing most of our free cash flow to
shareholders. A fleet wide TCE of USD 17,000 per day would result in a dividend
capacity of c. NOK 1.0/sh, growing to nearly NOK 1.5/sh at USD 20,000 per day”,
Nes concludes.
