DRY BULK MARKET IS STILL MAINTAINING ITS UPWARD DIRECTION


Chartering (Wet: Stable- / Dry: Firm+)
Despite the fact that rates for Capes didn't continue their crazy ride this past week, the Dry Bulk market has maintained its upward direction, with rates for Panamaxes and Supras firming at the back of a busy Atlantic. The BDI closed today (01/09/2013) at 1,994 points, down by 9 points compared to Monday's levels (30/09/2013) and a decrease of 27 points compared to the previous Tuesday's levels (24/09/2013). VLs managed to sustain their levels from the week before, as demand from China has kept things alive, while the Suezmax segment is still struggling with oversupply of tonnage in key regions. The BDTI Monday (30/09/2013), was at 584 points, a decrease of 1 point and the BCTI at 546, an increase of 17 points compared to the previous Monday's levels (23/09/2013).

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+)
It seems that owners are rushing to secure second-hand tonnage in anticipation of a further freight recovery that might take place during the last quarter of the year but also in order to secure a piece of the asset play that is already taking place, representative example of which is the "STAR FORTUNE" (170,974dwt-blt 1999, Japan) that was sold for $15.0m back in June and was rumoured being sold again at $17.0m this past week. On the tankers side, we had the sale of the "PACIFIC POLARIS" (47,999dwt-blt 04 , Japan), which was picked up by Greek buyers, for a price of US$ 17.2m. On the dry bulker side, we had the sale of the "TOSA SEA" (92,500dwt-blt 10, China), which went to Greek buyer, Empire Bulkers for a price of $ 20.0m.

New building (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+)
Bring on the Bulkers !!! The majority of new building orders that are being reported are still very much reflecting the renewed faith in the Dry Bulk sector that is bringing along some much needed business for Chinese yards that are evidently gaining the lion's share from these orders.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding in China has only today revealed securing orders of six VLOCs, including options, which in addition to recently exercised options will add another $ 817.0m to the value of its order book for this year so far. In terms of concluded deals, Last week, in another vote of confidence to Chinese yards, Greek owner, Star Bulk Carriers was reported placing an order for two Newcastle maxes (208,000dwt) at SWS, along with two Ultramaxes (61,000dwt) and another two Newcastle maxes (209,000dwt) both at NACKS, with deliveries set between 2015 and 2016.

Demolition (Wet: Firm+  / Dry: Firm+)
"The Return of India" could well be the title in last week's demolition scene and what a comeback this has been. It seems that the move of the Reserve Bank of India to increase its repurchase rate has finally started feeding through market sentiment, which has been very supportive of the Indian Rupee. The local currency has recovered significantly against its US counterpart luring cash buyers away from the side-lines and back into action. The bids currently coming out of the Indian sub-Continent, have surpassed every expectation, with almost all deals being negotiated above 400$/ldt. Demand also appears to be quite impressive, as it seems that breakers'  appetite has been growing bigger following all these weeks of inactivity. At the same time breaking yards in China have missed the spotlight this past week both because of the surge in the Indian Sub-Continent bids but also due to upcoming holidays that start today. Chances are that the recess will further widen the price gap between China and the rest of the demo markets at least for the short term. Average prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 375-415$/ldt and dry units received about 365-405$/ldt.
