CAPES TOUCHING RATES NO ONE BELIEVED COULD BE ACHIEVED IN 2013 - INTERMODAL


Chartering (Wet: Stable- / Dry: Firm+ )
The Dry Bulk market is the gift that keeps on giving these days. With rates for Capes touching numbers no one believed could be achieved in 2013 and the rest of the segments following, the positive sentiment has overtaken even the most skeptic ones. The BDI closed today (24/09/2013) at 2,021 points, up by 74 points compared to Monday’s levels (23/09/2013) and an increase of 281 points compared to the previous Tuesday’s levels (17/09/2013).

While rates for Suezmaxes unsuccessfully tried to find their footing this week, Eastbound demand seems to have brought some balance in the VL’s, while Afras found support from revived activity in the North Sea. The BDTI Monday (23/09/2013), was at 585 points, a decrease of 3 points and the BCTI at 529, a decrease of 29 points compared to the previous Monday’s levels (16/09/2013).

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+ )
Activity on the SnP front has considerably slowed down this past week. While the confidence on the potential of the MR sector is receiving more confidence, we believe that dry units will receive more interest in the coming days following the rally that is still taking place in the freight market.

On the tankers side, we had the en-bloc sale of the “SPP SACHEON S5122” (50,300dwt-blt 13, S. Korea), the “SPP SACHEON S5123” (50,300dwt-blt 14, S. Korea), the “SPP SACHEON S5124” (50,300dwt-blt 14, S. Korea) and the “SPP SACHEON S5125” (50,300dwt-blt 14, S. Korea), which went to Italian buyer Scorpio, for a price of US$ 37.75m each. On the dry bulker side, we had the sale of the “YANGZHOU DAYANG DY4028” (63,500dwt-blt 14 China), which was picked up by German buyer Oldendorff for a price of $ 26.5m.

Newbuilding (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+ )
Activity in the newbuilding market is sustaining its pace, with interest spread equally across bulkers and tankers. This past week there was also a fair number of Gas orders being reported, revealing the increased faith in the LPG sector and consequently its trade. Nonetheless and despite the popularity of such niche sectors, newbuilding prices for vessels haven't made any notable increases, at least for the time being.

On the contrary we keep watching prices in the dry sector moving slowly but steadily higher and should the freight market continue its current performance we expect the trend to last. In terms of concluded deals, Greek owner, Eletson Corporation, was reported placing an order of five Gas carriers (12,000cbm) to Hyundai Mipo, S.Korea, at a price of US$ 36.6m each and with delivery set between 2015 and 2016.

Demolition (Wet: Firm+  / Dry: Firm+ )
Last week the Reserve Bank of India has made a decisive move in its effort to support the local currency, by boosting its benchmark repurchase rate to 7.5% from 7.25%. This is the first increase since 2011 and one which most economist didn't expect. As the Indian Rupee has been weakening against its US counterpart, reaching consecutive historical lows only recently, the need for support has been expedited even after the Federal Reserve has committed to continue its bond purchase at the current levels, which practically means that the economic recovery is still very much fragile and therefore any rate increases at this stage can be harmful.

Despite the rate hike in India, the Rupee hasn't enjoyed any substantial upside yet, fact that is worrisome for the demo market amongst other things. Nevertheless, at least for now, breakers appear to have taken these news positively, as prices across the board picked up, with the Indian Sub-Continent witnessing the bigger increases as expected. Average prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 375-405$/ldt and dry units received about 365-385$/ldt.
