5. 2004 CEFOR Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics – Part 1 As of 31 December 2004 Introduction The Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics (NoMIS) is a joint database project of CEFOR members active on the Hull & Machinery market to compile insurance data and vessel characteristics for statistical purposes. The database is administered by CEFOR. Since its foundation in 1985 until 1997 the data was compiled by appointing CEFOR a compulsory facultative reinsurer to which the members of the Norwegian Hull Agreement ceded 0.1% of their Hull & Machinery insurance. Premium and claims information was exchanged via Borderaux, the lead insurer providing details of each claim. When the Hull Agreement was discontinued in December 1996, the statistics cooperation continued. In 1998 steps were taken to update the NoMIS’ database electronically. All necessary routines were in place by December 1999, enabling CEFOR to produce up-to-date hull figures on a monthly basis and extending the database substantially by including non-lead business from underwriting year 1998. In 2000, a further step was taken to restructure the database by extending the updates to include also non-lead business back to underwriting year 1995. In 2003, data from a major new member was integrated, also dating back to underwriting year 1995. In 2004, the database was extended by data from two new members and reached an all-time high of nearly 8,000 registered vessels for underwriting year 2004. By 31st December 2004, in all 83,650 vessels and 25,500 claims are registered for the underwriting years 1985 through 2004.

6. 2004 CEFOR Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics – Part 1 As of 31 December 2004 All amounts are presented in USD. Rate of exchange applicable to convert the figures from the original currencies into USD: Premiums: average monthly rate of exchange of the month of transaction Paid claims:average monthly rate of exchange of the month of transaction Outstanding claims:average monthly rate of exchange of December 2004 All premiums are net of all rebates and commissions. All claims are net of any deductibles applicable. Total Claims = Paid claims + Outstanding claims TLO (or Total Losses) = claims in excess of 75% of the Sum Insured Partial Losses = all losses <= 75% of the Sum Insured Loss Ratio = Total claims / Net premium Underwriting year = year in which the insurance attaches

20. 2004 CEFOR Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics – Part 3 As of 31 December 2004 Comment: Claims < 10.000 USD account for about half of all claims. Registration of these may vary over time and in each company and will thus influence the registered frequency. In addition any increase/decrease of insurance deductibles will have impact on the registered frequency

47. 2004 CEFOR Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics – Part 9 As of 31 December 2004 Exposure Curves Exposure curves are used by reinsurers to price excess of loss reinsurance. The curves indicate the ceding company's retained share of PA claims after ceding claims in excess of a given percentage of a vessel’s sum insured. The curves should be applied on individual vessels or groups of vessels with similar values and written shares. The curves are calculated for 100% values. In applications the choice of curve should thus also be based on 100% values. Exposure Curves technicalities The curves are based on H&M covers only. The curves are based on the underwriting years 1995-2004 (13,000 claims) The curves are calculated as follows: x = percentage retained C = Individual partial claims V = Vessel value f(x) = Σ min[C, V*x]/ Σ C
