CAPESIZE MARKET WILL BECOME EVEN TIGHTER - JEFFREY LANDSBERG


COALspot.com : While it is no secret that current capesize availability has become tight and has caused capesize rates to surge, availability is set to become even tighter in the near future once Drummond coal cargoes return to the market (when the strike is resolved) and also due to the very large amount of Brazilian iron ore cargoes that have continued to surface.  So far this week, 10 capesize vessels have been chartered to haul Brazilian iron ore cargoes.  This is a very large amount, and already exceeds the robust 9 capesize vessels that were chartered to haul Brazilian iron ore cargoes during all of last week.

The last time that 10 or more capesize vessels were chartered to haul iron ore cargoes in a single week was the Week Ending November 16, 2012.  Chinese demand for imported iron ore is currently very strong, which is helping capesize rates to surge.   However, the capesize market will again benefit from the current level of activity as spot capesize availability will find itself even tighter in the near future.  It is extremely encouraging for the capesize market that so many capesize vessels have recently been chartered for long-haul Brazil to China iron ore exports.  In addition, Atlantic basin spot capesize availability will become even more tight whenever the Drummond coal strike officially comes to an end.

For the capesize market, near term prospects remain encouraging.  There will be fluctuations whenever there are brief dips in Chinese demand, but overall we believe in the weeks and months to come there will be days when average daily capesize rates easily increase by over $3,000 in a single day.  That’s the beauty of dry bulk shipping.  Demand for vessels is quite inelastic and not very responsive to changes in prices.  When a charterer needs a vessel, he (she) needs a vessel.  And when spot vessel availability is tight, an environment is created where freight rates are prone to large increases.  With some many capesize vessels recently being chartered to haul long-haul Brazilian iron ore cargoes -- and with an increase in Drummond coal cargoes being poised to re-emerge in the market at some point like in the near future -- the already tight capesize market will become even tighter.
