5. Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics As of 31st December 2001 Introduction The Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics (NoMIS) is a co-operation between four of the members of the Central Union of Marine Underwriters (CEFOR) for the purpose of compiling and processing statistical information. Until 1997 the data was compiled by appointing NoMIS a compulsory facultative reinsurer to which the member companies ceded 0.1% of their hull and machinery insurance. In addition to the regular information about premiums and claims exchanged on bordereaux, the lead insurer provided NoMIS with a detailed breakdown of each claim. Since 1990, this improved material has been available to the members of NoMIS, providing statistics and analyses enabling them to enhance their underwriting and risk assessment. In 1998 it was decided to discontinue the facultative insurance agreement in favour of updating the NoMIS database electronically. The consequent necessary amendments to the database as well as the routines for updating were developed in 1999 and tested by the members in cooperation with CEFOR. In 2000 a further step was taken to restructure the database, such that from underwriting year 1995 all business underwritten by the NoMIS members is now updated electronically. This enables the NoMIS’ members to show up to date figures at any time for all Underwriting Years. As of 31 December 2001 the NoMIS database comprises 53,167 vessel years and 20,113 claims. This report contains statistics based on both Norwegian and International business for the period 1990-2001. Page: 1.1.1

6. Norwegian Marine Insurance Statistics As of 31st December 2001 All presentations are in USD and the figures have been converted from the original currencies into USD based on the rate of exchange applicable: - 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 2001 All premiums are net of all rebates and commissions. All claims are net of any deductibles applicable. (F)DWT in this report represents the maximum of either FDWT or DWT per vessel with Formula deadweight tons FDWT calculated as: Length between perpendiculars * Moulded breadth * Moulded depth 2.265 Total Claims = Paid Claims + Outstanding Claims Loss Ratio = Total Claims / Premium Underwriting year = year in which the insurance attaches Page: 1.1.2
