Dear valued customers,

Thank you for your continuous interest and unwavering support for solar shipping.

Over 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Thanks to the growing efficiency of shipping as a mode of transport and increased economic liberalization, the prospects for the industry’s further growth continue to be strong. It is difficult to quantify the value of volume of world seaborne trade in monetary terms, as figures for trade estimates are traditionally in terms of tones or ton-miles, and are therefore not comparable with monetary-based statistics for the value of the world economy.

However, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that the operation of merchant ships contributes about US$380 billion in freight rates within the global economy, equivalent to about 5% of total world trade. In 2006, world seaborne trade reached 7.4 billion tons. At the beginning of 2007, the world fleet reached 1.04 billion deadweight tons (dwt), an annual increase of 8.6 percent. World container port throughput increased by 13.4 percent to reach 440 million TEUs in 2006. (ref. Transport Newsletter No. 37, 2007
UNCTAD/SDTE/TLB/MISC/2007/8)

Our focus is on providing the connections and solutions that offer our customers delivery certainty in an increasingly complex trading landscape. Solar shipping is well positioned in all major markets, but we have an unrivaled knowledge of Asia and Europe. Our global services, solutions, and facilities are supported by industry-leading information management and data connectivity tools that enable customers to better manage inventory and provide maximum visibility across global supply chains.

Last, but not the least, your continuous support and interest in Solar Shipping will remain invaluable for us on our path to becoming the premier global logistics company.
On behalf of the company, I would like to wish all of you a successful and constantly growing business. Let us be partners in global trade.

Sincerely Yours
