Read ‘Ocean Carriers’ and answer the following questions:

Ocean Carriers uses a 9% discount rate.
1. Do you expect daily spot rate to increase or decrease next year?
- The expected daily hire rates drives the daily spot rates higher. So we are expecting the higher daily spot rates under higher expected daily hire rates.
2. What factors drive average daily hire rates? - Demand in iron ore shipments,
- World economy, strong economy in western countries will raise the demands in iron for manufacturing and construction.
- The number of available vessels
- Vessels route patterns, vessel would be held longer under longer route patterns.

3. Should Ms. Linn purchase the $39M capesize? Make two different assumptions. First, assume that Ocean Carriers is a US firm subject to 35% taxation. Second, assume that Ocean Carriers is located in Hong Kong, where owners of Hong Kong ships are not required to pay any tax on profits made overseas and are also exempted from paying any tax on profit made on cargo uplifted from Hong Kong.
-( I think after we all done with the chart, we will have the negative NPV for the assumption one (in US with 35% tax) and the positive NPV for the second assumption (Hong Kong with no tax). this means we should go with the positive NPV and pick the second assumption)

4. What do you think of the company’s policy of not operating ships over 15 years old?
If the company operates the over 15 years old vessels, their survey cost would be higher and higher survey cost would reduce the positive cash flow. The company`s policy is correct they are not suppose to operate any vessel older than 15 years

    The Ocean Ranger

    The Ocean Ranger was an offshore exploration oil drilling platform that sank in Canadian waters 315 kilometres southeast from St. John's Newfoundland, on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland on February 15, 1982, with 84 crewmembers onboard. The Ocean Ranger was the largest semi-submersible, offshore exploration, oil drilling platform of the day. Built in 1976 by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, it operated off the coasts of Alaska, New Jersey, Ireland, and in November 1980 moved to the Grand Banks. Since it was so big it was considered to have the ability to drill in areas too dangerous for other rigs. The government thought it was unsinkable, so they felt that there was no need to train a crew very well.…

    The aircraft carrier has been around in various forms since the First World War. Its emergence as the key denominator of naval power is legendary,and its continuing prestige in this role is even yet spawning building programs among established and growing navies.

    The Seafarer Exile

    There are several elements Anglo-Saxon lyrics contain, but as seen in poems such as “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament”, exile is one of the most prominent elements. Anglo-Saxons wrote about exile because it was something they all feared. They were terrified of the thought of being left alone, or being kicked out of their own home. Anglo-Saxons placed a tremendous amount of emphasis on a sense of belonging, which is why exile was such a threat to them. In the poems “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament”, the main characters have been exiled, all for different reasons and in different ways.…

These stories typically follow a character exiled by a circumstance, unable to return to their life prior. In The Wanderer, the main character is alone due to all his people dying. With his kinsman and his lord dead, he has nowhere to go, and nobody to go to. He spends his time drifting, lamenting over his past while in search of a new lord.…
