| The depth of breadth across the product space is very strong |
| Over the last 2 years, product tanker rates have been resilient |
| I think that in a fortunate position with management of shareholders and that right now, this market is providing extraordinary returns |
| And on that basis, we still think that the market will be very strong |
| The fundamentals which have created a strong rate environment over the last two years remain intact |
| These markets are super strong |
| The balance sheets and the quality of Scorpio Tankers as an investment has become stronger and continues to improve |
| And today our net debt stands at just a shade below $1.1 billion and we feel very well positioned at these levels |
| We wanted to ask you've outlined very strong fundamentals in the market |
| You've outlined very strong fundamentals in the market |
| Looking forward, we expect low global inventories robust demand and limited street growth to support the strong product tanker fundamentals which we've experienced in the last few years |
| And so the one thing we know is the cash is coming in and our balance sheet is improving |
| As we have highlighted, cash flows from a strong rate environment have been significant and transformative for the company |
| We're pleased to report another quarter and another year of strong financial results |
| And I think that the dividend increases is like a not or a recognition of the really improved underlying strength of the company |
| That's what's so strong |
| working through peak maintenance now, the outlook for product tankers remains very constructive |
| Global demand for refined products has been extremely strong and we expect this to continue |
| 2023 was a reflection of a strong market that found equilibrium after the events of 2022 |
| This has and will continue to benefit the supply of vessels servicing on sanction trades |
| But at the same time, we're confident, as James has pointed out, in the long-term fundamentals |
| MR rates were lifted by the strength in the U.S |
| Frode Morkedal Congrats for the strong quarter and even better first quarter |
| Our LR2 rates improved to the end of December as Middle East refining runs increased after an early maintenance season, moving from $36,000 up to $50,000 per day before any disruptions in the Red Sea |
| But inside of that, the Obviously, the Asia market has been stronger on the MRs and the U.S |
| So that's like a very bullish sign and you've starting to see cargoes getting split |
| I don't want people to get a strong look, we're very bullish |
| The company has significant operating leverage |
| Seaborne exports and ton-mile demand are expected to increase 2.8% and 7.3%, respectively, vastly outpacing supply |
| Robert Bugbee I think that's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful question |

| New orders have started to slow given expensive new building prices, long lead times for delivery, and uncertainty about propulsion systems to satisfy future environmental regulation |
| finally being tough on the sanction Russian oil and Russian trading ships |
| And the other thing that you have to put in context here is that the last couple of weeks, the markets have had a negative overhang on them as with regard to U.S |
| One of the biggest challenges has been diesel; Europe, Latin America and Africa all have a diesel deficit of 1 million barrels per day |
| Disruptions have exacerbated the strong supply and demand fundamentals in our market |
| And given the latest disruptions in the Red Sea, it's put upward pressure on tanker rates |
| Third, the attacks in the Red Sea have reduced volumes going through the Suez Canal |
| Many vessels are going around the Cape of Good Hope today, with canal volume dropping to around 200,000 barrels per day for the first week of February |
| Second, lower water levels in the Gatun lake which feeds the Panama Canal has led to a reduction in the number of ships allowed to transit the canal from 36 to 24 per day |
| And yes, given the latest disruptions in the Red Sea, that's put upward pressure on tanker rates |
| In addition to this, we've seen low water levels in the Panama Canal, attacks in the Red Sea and sanctions on Russia, which had led to the rerouting of vessels |
| There's a lot more uncertainty in the world right now, obviously |
| So it's not Wall Street bank and all these new things is, there's a complacency in the whole oil space as we look at price |
| In addition, the majority of the order book is LR2 vessels and 52% of the LR2 fleet trading and clean products today, the effective order book for vessels trading in clean is going to be less than the current 12% |
| In the fourth quarter, this resulted in a reduction of 200,000 barrels a day of refined product moving through the Panama Canal and needing to travel longer distance |
| This year's fleet growth is expected to be the lowest fleet growth since 2000 and less than 1% |
| As Emmanual mentioned, disruptions have led to new trade flows and rerouting of vessels, which is further tightened supply |
| And some argue that the Palestine-Israel situation, the whole Middle East situation is getting worse, not better |
| The other day, when there was some tweet saying there could be piece in between Palestine and Hamas and Israel and we saw the stock sort of trend down to 10% down |
| But I mean if you're looking for excuses to maintain your hold because you're now worried about Russia, I doubt whether Russia, Panama and Middle East will all get sold together very shortly |
