(b)Estimation of fair value

IFRS 13 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritises inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value input hierarchy defined by IFRS 13 are as follows:

(i)quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
(ii)inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and
(iii)inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

8.Financial risk management (continued)

(b)

Estimation of fair value (continued)

Derivative financial assets and liabilities

The Group’s financial derivative instruments primarily relate to interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts measured at fair value (note 3).

Level 2 classifications primarily include exchange-traded futures including interest rate swaps, forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts. The fair values of interest rate swaps are calculated at the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves. The fair values of forward freight agreements, bunker swaps and commodity contracts measured at fair value are determined using forward commodity indices at the balance sheet date.

Level 3 classifications primarily include the physical commodity contracts where the fair values are estimated using a cash flow model, based on the best information available. As the fair value estimation process involves uncertainties and significant judgement over the unobservable inputs and assumptions, the fair values of the physical commodity contracts are classified under level 3.

Non-derivative non-current financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amount of non-derivative non-current financial assets and liabilities which bear floating interest rates are assumed to approximate their fair value because of the short repricing period. There are no non-current financial assets and liabilities which do not bear floating interest rates.

Non-derivative current financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair value because of the short period to maturity.
