During the 2010 business year, the global economy showed
signs of a speedy recovery from the 2009 business year after

During the 2010 financial year, the Association set out a plan to
save costs totalling JPY 2,200 million. Of this amount, JPY 1,100

claims and operating costs, with JPY 1,100 million being the
strong demand from rapidly expanding economies such as
China and India. Although there has not been a corresponding
amount by which Members were asked to reduce their claims.
Whilst the Association nearly achieved its goal of reducing
recovery in the dry bulk or tanker sectors, we believe that in
general, the shipping industry is in the process of recovery and
that the worst of the economic downturn has passed However,
its claims payments and operating costs, the frequency of
significant casualties, meant that it was not possible to achieve
the sought-after reduction in Members claims. During the 2011

However, the number of pool claims (those exceeding the

(hereinafter called as the "this term") may be summarised in
accordance with the "Income and Expenditure Account" as

During the 2010 policy year, the Association experienced an
increase in both the number of ocean-going vessels and overall
tonnage. Unfortunately, there was a record number of seven (7)

As scheduled, the Association levied a 40% supplementary call
for ocean-going vessels (mutual entries) for the 2009 policy year.
In addition, there was also a 10% general increase in the level of
previous term. This rise is due to an increase in "Net claims paid".
"Ordinary income" for this term was JPY19,910 million, which
represents an increase of JPY1, 840 million from the 2009

of JPY160 million, which resulted in a "Surplus before taxes" of
JPY150 million and a "Surplus after tax" for this term of JPY 90
million.
As far as our financial strategy plan, "Second Five-Year-Term
Strategy to improve the Association's Financial Strength" is
concerned, we are pushing forward towards our target to
increase the free reserve up to JPY 20,000 million by the 2015
financial year.
During this term, net accumulated free reserves
reached JPY 9,710 million which was partly due to
an Increase in the catastrophe reserve.
Accordingly, whilst the Association has not yet
achieved its overall free reserve target, we are taking such
steps as are necessary to achieve our goal. Unfortunately, the
Association has experienced a higher frequency of claims since
the beginning of this term and we anticipate that the resulting
balance of our accounts will be negatively impacted by the Great
East Japan Earthquake of March 2011.
However, the combination of a 50% supplementary call (being
an advance 10% for the 2010 policy year and 40% for the 2009
policy year) enabled us to achieve a surplus of our balance in
2010 and we believe this is a further step towards our target of
strengthening our financial position in 2011.
We understand that the Association's Members bore a heavier
costs burden during the previous term. This was partly due to
the fifth successive general increase in premiums for Members
with ocean-going vessels, and the first general increase in two
years for Japanese coastal vessels.
