MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
On February 1st 2007 Eitzen Maritime Services rebranded all business units. TESMA was re-branded to
EMS Ship Management, Stromme to EMS Ship Supply
and Polaris to EMS Insurance Broker.
Development in EMS Ship Management
Ship Management continues its positive development this
quarter. Revenues exceeded MNOK 35, up from MNOK
32 previous quarter and up from MNOK 29 same quarter
last year. The segment also reports improved EBITDA of
MNOK 4.7. The results include a negative EBITDA
contribution from B Shipmanagement of MNOK 1.7
resulting from the closure of the company’s office in
Glasgow on April 1st.
During the quarter, EMS Ship Management operated 116
vessels on technical management. At the end of 1st quarter
2007 EMS Ship Management have contracts to take over
technical management for another 14 vessels within the
end of 2007 so far.
Crew management also developed positively during the
quarter. Per the end of the quarter EMS manned 225
vessels with 2,600 seafarers out of a pool of seafarers
exceeding 4,300. The full acquisition of our existing JV
operation in India together with a new crew office in
Ukraine will be important in securing a qualified pool of
officers and crew in an increasingly tight market.
EMS Ship Management has established a Newbuilding &
Project department out of Singapore. EMS Ship
Management already has contracts for supervision of 21
new building projects. Additional services will be 3rd
party inspections for S&P, in addition to major
conversions and dry dockings.
Development in EMS Insurance Broker
The 1st quarter results were positive. There is an increase
in contracts and the unit has secured the first P&I
contracts ever in the quarter. The EBITDA contribution
was MNOK 0.9 for the quarter.
Revenue and EBITDA per quarter Ship Management &
Insurance Broker segment
Development in EMS Ship Supply
The 1st quarter results for Ship Supply are mixed. The
operating income ended at MNOK 111 which equal with
same quarter last year and previous quarter. The top-line
development conceals positive development in operating
income from Ship Supply and Logistics where the
subsidiaries in Singapore and the Netherlands are
performing well. This positive development is offset with a
negative income development from Marine Equipment and
Marine Spares.
The gross margin ended at MNOK 23.9, up MNOK 1.3
from same quarter last year. The gross margin rate reached
21.5% up from 21.2% in pervious quarter and from 20.3%
for same quarter last year
EBITDA ended at MNOK 2.0 which is an improvement
from MNOK -6.2 in previous quarter and from MNOK 0.3
for same quarter last year.
Even though the operating income from Marine Equipment
and Marine Spares was low in the quarter, the sales
activities continued to be high and the inflow of orders
during the quarter was good. The order reserve for EMS
Ship Supply is developing positively and is currently at its
highest level. It ended on MNOK 59 at the end of the 1st
quarter, up MNOK 13 from year end last year. Of the
MNOK 59, a total of MNOK 43 comes from the Marine
Equipment product area.
