8 Investor Presentation │November 2018 Financial Benefits of New Vessels For the current 10-ship deployment, expect the annual financial benefits of the new vessels to be approximately $28 to $31 million with almost all of the benefits beginning after the arrival of the 3rd vessel in 4Q19. (1) Magnitude and timing of benefits subject to change based on fleet configuration and in-service timing. Actual operating costs may vary compared to those used. Analysis excludes the net effects of fuel and any changes in volume. (2) When all four of the new vessels are fully deployed on an annual basis. (3) Only applicable to the two Kanaloa Class ro-con vessels. (4) Currently projected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2019. (5) Not currently applicable given Hawaii volume currently served with a 10-ship deployment.
