20. STAR Reefers AS, as managers for STAR Reefers Inc Rådhusgaten 23, N-0158 Oslo, Norway slide no. 20 Source: Orion Shipping The reefer fleet (above 300 cub. ft.) consists of around 505 vessels, equivalent to around 233 million cub.ft. (Source: Drewry) The reefer fleet reached its peek in 1993, and has slowly been reduced due to historic low rates in the period from 1998 – 2002, and consequently very limited newbuilding The order book is presently at 0.5 million cub.ft. The drop in second hand values for reefer ships has not been reflected in new building prices, hence little anticipated new building activity going forward Factors influencing supply – Reefer vessels order book vs scrap
