2.5 PANAMAX VESSELS PER AVAILABLE CARGO FOR MARCH DATES - FEARN BULK


Handy
Another depressing week for Supras in both basins. Lack of fresh business and over-supply of tonnage in the Atlantic pushed rates south. Cont/US Gulf fixed USD 1300 while US Gulf back to Cont at USD 8800. Fronthauls were paid USD 11,500. The Pacific market has improved with lot of cargoes seen, especially Indonesia. Indo-India rounds are now fixed at USD 9k basis North China. Nickel ore are also getting gud premiums. Indian iron ore is still quiet but few cargoes are seeing. WCI-China is around USD 10k and ECI-India around USD 8k. Short period rates around USD 10k, though not seen much this week.

Panamax
The Panamax market experienced yet another week with declining rates in both hemispheres. A quick count shows that it is about 2.5 Pmax vessels per available cargo for March dates. Transatlantic rates came down somewhat USD 2k the last week and are now trading in region of USD 5k. Fhauls are being fixed at around USD 15k, down USD 2.5k from last week. In the Pacific we see rounds via NoPac are being fixed in the low 8k which is a positive sentiment compared to last week. For the backhauls the T/C equivalent levels are at around 0. The period market is regaining activity, but owners need to be flexible on the spread of period with deals being concluded at around 11k for a year on modern Kamsarmaxes.

Capesize
The pessimism in the market continues. More owners are willing to consider present levels for short period, indicating that expectations for a turnaround in the immediate future are nonexistent. Despite this the West Australian miners continue to take tonnage at what has become a conference rate of USD 7.60 pmt (equivalent to USD 1-2000 per day T/C equivalent). There are however a large number of owners, who have been spot for days/weeks, who refuse to fix their vessels under USD 8.00. This standoff will eventually break, as the source of the cheapest owners dries up, and we will likely see numbers around the USD 8.00 mark for some time. The Atlantic market is also dismal with tonnage spot and waiting/hoping for something to pop up. So far there has been little to indicate that this situation will change.
