CAPES AND PANAMAXES SOFTENING; SMALLER SIZE SEGMENTS FIRMING FURTHER - INTERMODAL


Chartering (Wet: Firm+  / Dry: Stable- )
The BDI has closed off the week on the red, with rates for Capes and Panamaxes softening and those for the smaller size segments firming further. The BDI closed today (19/11/2013) at 1,495 points, down by 5 points compared to Monday’s levels (18/11/2013) and a decrease of 57 points compared to previous Tuesday’s levels (12/11/2013). The VL market has gained strength for yet another week, with enquiries ex-MEG  sustaining their strong volumes and owners holding the upper hand firmly in the presence of tighter tonnage lists in the region. The BDTI Monday (18/11/2013), was at 647 points, an increase of 12 points and the BCTI at 498, an increase of 6 points compared to the previous Monday’s levels (11/11/2013)

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+  )
This past week container vessels had a strong presence within the list of reported SnP deals, with a couple of a-list owners betting on the sector through big en-bloc deals. On the tankers side, we had the sale of the “SHINYO NAVIGATOR” (300,549dwt-blt 96, S. Korea),  which was picked up for a price of US$ 22.0m. On the dry bulker side, we had the sale of the “GRAND DIVA” (76,596dwt-blt 07 Japan) which was picked up by Greek buyers for a price of $ 21.1m.

Newbuilding (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+  )
While both the volume of newbuilding orders and prices continue to climb, it seems that the Chinese government is set to further support its shipbuilding industry, by enforcing a plan that has been considered for quite a while now by officials in the country. The main measure involves a 20% subsidy off Chinese newbuildings, to those owners who decide to also scrap a vessel of fifteen years of age or older. The subsidies, the total amount of which is estimated at around US $ 750.0m, are rumored to be made available around the end of this year and beginning of 2014 and the program is set to last for two years.  This is the type of measure that boosts the local shipbuilding industry without necessarily sacrificing a healthy, in terms of tonnage, market. This measure will be of great help to all these private Chinese yards that have been struggling to stay in business, but at the same time we can’t help but wonder whether this is another way to “kick the can down the road” on a sector that over-expanded to begin with. In terms of new orders, Singaporean owner Navig8  was reported signing contracts for two firm plus two optional VLCCs (300,000dwt) at Hyundai in S. Korea, for a price of $ 92.0m each and with delivery set between 2015 and 2016.

Demolition (Wet: Stable+  / Dry: Stable+  )
While the volume of activity in the demolition market is still very far from the levels we would like to see, it is at least hopeful that prices haven't turned south again. Saying that, the weakness displayed by the Indian Rupee against the US dollar in the beginning of this past week has been quite unnerving, considering the volatility of the exchange rate during the past months. The currency has nonetheless managed to stabilize and rebound mid-week onwards, fact mainly attributed to the country’s Finance Minister pledge that both the current account and fiscal deficit goals will be met this year, which ultimately helped local demo prices to hold their levels. At the same time Bangladesh, partly taking advantage local steel prices heading north, managed to emerge as the strongest link in the demo scene of last week, with local breakers managing to snap vessels from the competition by bidding at some ludicrous levels, while Pakistan remained at the sidelines dealing with weakening currency issues itself. Average prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 345-435$/ldt and dry units received about 335-420$/ldt.
