FREIGHT MARKET: IS THE MARKET IN A RECOVERY MOOD? - GEORGE ILIOPOULOS
 Is the market in a recovery mood?
August is typically a time when the shipping industry takes it easy… charter-ers book their requirements early on… ship-owners go on holidays and every-thing rolls smoothly.
According to George Iliopoulos, S&N broker of intermodal, this year’s August proved to be slightly different. The market started to liven up early on and freight rates for Dry Bulkers enjoyed a small increase. The results from this small increase took no time at all to also show its face in the SnP market with activity there picking up again.
If one wonders how could this be, let’s take a moment here to remind ourselves that the BDI was stuck below 1,000 points since early June, while since early April there had been only a handful of times that the index broke above this level. As such up to now it has mainly been a few traditional shipping houses and some new funds that have been active in the SnP market during this period.
Intermodal said in its latest weekly report that, the Dry Bulk market closed off the week on a positive note, while the slight increase of fresh business coming through in most size segments has been encouraging. Despite this recent reversal though, there is still a lot of skepticism in the market.
The quick downward correction that took place on Friday and today represents either a sign of a softer market ahead or just the existence of a few bumps along the way. Either or, following the yo-yo performance of the dry bulk market during recent years, market players will need to see some longer periods of sustainable week-on-week improvements before they call this a reversal.
Broker said, rates for Capes noted the biggest increase across the board, with enquiry across both basins warming up. Despite the fact that rates improved by a lot week-on-week, there was a substantial pullback on Friday, while this week has not kicked off on a positive note either with the Baltic closed yesterday and another negative closing today for Capers.
The Panamax segment underperformed the rest of the market, with numbers moving sideways for the bigger part of the week. The Pacific Panamax remained under pressure as the days progressed, despite positive signs in the beginning of the week, while there were some improvements on the number of voyages ex-USG and ECSA, with both regions witnessing healthy volumes of activity.
According to intermodal. Rates for Supras and Handies were also stronger across the USG region as well as in the Black Sea. In the Pacific, things have also started to warm up a bit following a very quiet summer period, with Australian and Indonesian rounds achieving some very good numbers overall.
