NEWBUILDING ORDERS FOR DRY BULK CARRIERS "DRY" UP
PanamaxNewbuilding ordering activity remained subdued over the course of the past week, as ship owners are wary of adding further tonnage to an already pressured market. According to the latest report from shipbroker Allied Shipbroking, “there was a small amount of rumored activity being reported this week in the dry bulk sector with two separate orders for ultramaxes emerging. At the same time interest in the tanker sector continues to mount with further orders being placed in the VLCC size segment and keen interest also seen for Suezmaxes as well.

The real story has been the Containership sectors this week, with more then ample rumors circulating of further ordering set to take place while we have seen a number of orders being placed over the past couple of days, most of which have been for several units of post-panama size. With the U.S. economy showing to have a strong momentum towards recovery and its consumers ramping up activity, it is not a surprise that we are starting to see a more positive outlook amongst investors despite the still ongoing problems caused by the large ULCVs still on order and the fast pace fleet growth witnessed over the past couple of years”.

Meanwhile, in its latest weekly report, shipbroker Clarkson Hellas noted that “further to their order placed earlier this year, Meiji Shipping have added a second 320,000dwt VLCC at JMU (Ariake) with delivery of the latest vessel in 2018. It also came to light this week that MTMM have contracted four further stainless tankers in Japan. They added two further 35,500dwt vessels at Shin Kurushima for delivery from mid-2018, taking their total orders at the yard to seven vessels (3 x 22k and 4 x 35.5k). MTMM added further newbuildings at Kitanihon with contracts for two 21,000dwt SUS tankers for delivery in the first quarter of 2018″.

The shipbroker added that “we’ve seen just one new order in dry bulk this week with a yet to be confirmed overseas owner contracting two firm 38,000dwt Handysize at Shikoku Dock. Delivery for both vessels is planned for 2017. It is worth noting that various other Ultramax orders have been reported this week however we understand these were concluded in the first half of last year and are now only coming to light. Namely, White Sea Navigation for 2 x Ultramax at Sinopacific and clients of Kymar Shipping at Yangzhou Guoyo for 1+1 x Ultramax”.

It added that “having been under discussion for some time, Maersk have now announced an order for seven firm plus two option 3,600 TEU wide beam ice class E3 North European feeders at COSCO Zhoushan. The first vessels are due to deliver from April 2017 until the end of 2017, and the options in 2018 if declared. Pricing per vessel is understood to be in the region USD 39M. In the car carrier market Hyundai Mipo announced an order for two firm 7,500unit PCTCs for delivery in the first quarter of 2017. We understand this order is from existing client Ray Shipping, taking the owners current orderbook at the yard to six vessels. Pricing was announced at USD 77.95m per vessel”, Clarkson Hellas concluded.
Additionally, shipbroker Intermodal noted that “fewer orders were reported in the market last week, with the tanker sector remaining far more popular than the dry bulk one, where the entire activity reported consisted only of a couple of Ultramax orders by Greek owners, both related to deals inked earlier on in the year. At the same time prices remained unchanged across the board, but this is not to be taken as a sign of a stabilizing market, especially when it comes to dry bulkers.

In our opinion the lack of recently reported deals in segments like the Capesize one, is the main reason behind this artificial stability, while we once more reiterate our opinion that there is more downside on the way especially as yards are bound to feel more and more pressure in this persistently low ordering activity environment. The example of Rongsheng, which has recently warned that “it might not be able to continue to operate as a going concern” is representative of the increasing pressure that is on the way for the industry. In terms of recently reported deals, Greek owner, Delta Tankers, placed an order for two Suezmaxes (160,000dwt) at Samsung , in S.Korea, for a price of $ 66.0m each and delivery set in April of 2016″, Intermodal noted.
