THE FUTURES FOR THREE YEARS WAS AT AROUND PANAMAX/US$ 14,000 PER DAY & SUPRAMAX/US$ 14,000 PER DAY - VISTAAR


COALspot.com - The freight market continued to soften further with all segments down except for the handy size which was marginally up by 10 points. However the Supramax in the Far East/SE Asia was quite firm beginning of the week with charter rates up by about 3-4000 per day, however softened towards later half of the week. Seems the reason could be because of shipments out of Indonesia end of April and approaching Easter holidays.

The BDI was down by 3.20 pct and closing at 1,254 points, whereas cape index was down by 1.53 pct and closed at 1,540 points. The panamax index was most affected which was down by 9.05 pct and closed at 1,377 points. The Supramax index was down by 0.93 pct and closed at 1,401 points, whereas the handy size index was up by 0.75 pct and closed at 802 pct. The market appears will continue to be soft next week also.

The average charter rates was at Cape/US$ 6,547 per day , Panamax/US$ 11,024 per day , Supramax/US$ 14,645 per day and Handy size/US$ 11,985 per day.

The Supramax index in the feast (S6 route) softened further by 1.71 pct (down by 248 points) and closed at US$ 14207 per day (last week US$ 14455 per day). The EC India/China (S7 route) also softened slightly and was down by 0.50 pct (down by US$ 71 per day) and closed at US$ 14071 per day (last week US$ 14142 per day).  The S6 and S7 routes likely to be soft soft week also.

The futures for three years (2011-2013) was at around Cape/US$ 16,500 per day, Panamax/US$ 14,000 per day, Supramax/US$ 14,000 per day , Handy size/US$ 11,250 per day.

The congestion in EC Australia reduced to 37 vessels this week (last week 60 vessels). The vessels waiting at main coal loading ports were at Hay point/4, DBCT/18, Gladstone/4, Abbot Point/1, New Castle/9, Port Kembla/1 vessels. On the WC Australia iron ore vessels waiting reduced was at 35 vessels (last week 33 vessels).

The waiting at Indian ports for coal vessels was quite normal.

The crude oil prices softened a bit and closed at US$ 124.04 per barrel (last week US$ 123.44 per barrel). Bunker prices also softened and closed at US$ 672.00 pmt (last week US$ 673.50 pmt) for IFO 380 cst ex Singapore on 22nd April 2011.
