marks the beginning of spring.The longer days will come inhandy at Shipping 2011 where you will have plenty of timeto participate in the conference program and panel discus-sions, catch up with former classmates or colleagues, talkwith a Navy Seal, Commodore or Admiral, meanderthrough high tech exhibits, conduct business, network andstill have plenty of time to share a meal or drinks.
Come hear what the leaders of INTERTANKO, INTER-CARGO, IACS, USCG and International Chamber ofShipping have to say. What are the new maritime opportu-nities in wind energy or the LNG trade?Who will take homethis year’s Plimsoll Awards or the Halert C. ShepheardAward? With the recent deaths of American civilians andthe capture of a Danish family with children, are there anynew methods or policies to deal with the ever-expandingpiracy in the Somali Basin? Can the UN be successful indeveloping a comprehensive approach to combating piracyand the underlying causes? Come join the discussions.
The spring forward theme continues with daylight savings;a reminder this weekend the U.S and Canada will set theirclocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 13. Europe willfollow suit on Sunday, March 27 and Australia will adjustclocks on April 3. This reminds me of a quote by MichaelAlthsuler, “The bad news is that time flies. The good newsis that you’re the pilot.” I hope you’ll make time for Shipping2011!
Best regards,Beth Wilson-JordanPresident

Continuing on the education thread, I attended the mini-conference put on by the Mississippi Valley Trade andTransport Council in New Orleans earlier this month.Although several CMA members were in attendance, gen-erally the crowd was a brown water community plus manycargo interests, especially coal exporters. Having beenwith several shippers/charterers in my career, for me thebest part is meeting people with whom I have worked, orwho work for companies with which I have worked. I enjoyhearing what is happening outside my own sphere of activ-ity and always come away with new information and per-spectives. Check out their program at:http://www.mvttc.com.
I try to attend a number of conferences each year frankly toget ideas for our own Conference as well as recruit futurespeakers, and/or members, and/or exhibitors. I am thankfulthat the Board holds the same opinion as I that this is goodfor our organization as well as the industry.
By the way, I’ll also attend a meeting of the NationalAssociation of Maritime Organizations in Washington nextmonth. The focus there will US ports, the latest regulations
FROM THE EDITOR
It is March and to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare "TheConference is the thing".You have hopefully read the latestprogram --- it has been greatly updated from the one wemailed. Some speakers are in different time slots, thereare more speakers and all of them are stars. Really, theseare important people in their own spheres, and we greatlyappreciate their sharing their knowledge and time. I strong-ly suggest you make an effort to attend as many sessionsas you can, to browse the exhibits – more than last year -and enjoy the camaraderie at the various receptions.
Our stalwart (not deterred by snow) February luncheoncrowd was educated and informed about the protean ship-ping markets and the speed of change that we face in the21st Century by Justin Yagerman, Director of EquityResearch – Transportation & Shipping - at Deutsche BankSecurities. His presentation was very interesting as reflect-ed in the question and answer session that followed. I hopewe can get him back again next year.
from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the con-tinued cutting of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)dredging budget. In late April I have been invited to speakat a conference in Paris on sustainability (economic as wellas environmental) of the shipping industry. Although I’ll berepresenting CMA the expenses will be covered by theorganizers. Bottom line – CMA’s reputation continues togrow.
I hope to see you and chat a bit at Shipping 2011.Donald Frost

The offers made early boats an upward course pursue,
And even those with outward salt no longer are taboo.
The Market for a month ahead is steady at a rate
Which Merchants call their limit, and at more prefer to wait,
So little is there doing that the Fixture List looks bare,
The Editor prints “Glossary of Freight Terms” in despair.
The holders of the promptest boats now break out in white
spats,
Or else they join that mystic group of Men WhoWear Black
Hats:
No need for them to wait in queues their business to per-
form,
Firm offer slips are showered on them like snowflakes in a
storm.
They will not talk of options, and are most particular,
A deaf ear turns to U.K./Cont., and only knows A.R.
And this goes on until a rumor flies one morn –
“It’s raining in the Argentine, prompt orders are withdrawn.”
And even freights for forward dates are very few indeed –
The Owners now get busy as they see the rates recede.
This is the Broker’s darkest hour, for him there is no rest,
He daily dreads to get a wire – “Authority at best”.
And as the rates go lower still, some old friends re-appear,
Like clipped oats, and seeds as wheat, and even
Necochea.
No longer Owners shun the Med., they welcome Adriatic,
Whilst orders with two ports discharge make them quite
ecstatic:
The unfixed Ballasters arrive and anchor off shore,
And many an Owner bows his head, and murmurs
“Nevermore”.
But lower rates bring out more trade, Owners capitulate,
And prompt boats take what they can get, although their
loss is great.
But then without a warning and reasons quite unknown,
The Market shows improvement with firmer undertone.
The Brokers with their owners once again communicate,
And several boats leave out the next day in ballast for the
Plate.
MARKET COMMENTARY
By Donald Frost
As we know tramp shipping markets are cyclical, and while
we are experiencing the down side of the latest cycle, we
can learn from previous cycles. As you chartering practi-
tioners of long experience know, ballasting isn’t a dirty
word even if it is painful to order. In that vein I present a
poem, “The Ballad of the Ballaster” describing how they
handled Plate grain cargoes back in the day.We are now in
the Plate Season. I wonder how many of you remember the
situation described below. If not back then, how about
now?
THE BALLAD OF THE BALLASTER
Author unknown
The MERCHANT listened glumly to his Chartering Clerk’s
report,
And heard that boats were getting scarce, with outward
sailings short.
“We must attract the Ballasters” would they get on the job,
If we should offer six pence more – in case of need, bob?
The Clerk replied, “I can but try, let me investigate.”
And went upon the Baltic where the Brokers congregate.
“O vessels come and fix with us, if you desire trade.”
The Brokers pause and listen to the Merchant’s serenade.
And Owners hear by telegram, or maybe by phone,
That things are looking up a bit – there is a firmer tone.
Of course they say to pay it pay they want a higher rate –
Yet several boats leave out next day in ballast for the Plate.

CMA ELECTIONS 2011
Each year half the Officers and about half the Committee
Chairs are elected. As always, elections are held on the
occasion of the Annual General Meeting to be held this
year April 28th. The Board Nomination Committee, having
been announced last month, has unanimously approved
the following slate for voting at the AGM in April:
Vice President: Molly McCafferty
Secretary: Antonios Backos
P&A: Ian Workman
Education: Margaret Faucher
Molly, Ian and Margaret are incumbents. We will publish
some short bio information on Tony next month for those
who might not know him. Save the date (April 28th). We
have something more than an election planned.
CMA MEMBER HONORED ATFORT SCHUYLER
It is not often that I get the very pleasant opportunity to
write about a King’s Point graduate being honored at my
alma mater, the State University of New York Maritime
College at Fort Schuyler. The fact that he has been long
time member of CMA and a friend makes the news all the
more significant to the CMA family.
I am happy to note that BLT Chembulk Group, represented
by Jack Noonan, President of BLT Chembulk Group,
together with Mark Barker, President of Interlake
Steamship Company and Tom Merrrell, President of
General Dynamics, America Overseas Marine, will be hon-
ored at the Admiral’s Scholarship Dinner at Fort Schuyler
Tuesday evening May 3, 2011.
I hope to see many members of CMA at that event.
Congratulations Jack!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
by Jonathan Feffer
JF Maritime
John Gapper's view of the Jones Act in the (London)
Financial Times of February 24th is timely but omits men-
tion of larger components of US flag trades subject to the
Jones Act, and alludes only briefly to the reasons for the
current state of the US flag shipping industry.
The major element of US coastwise trade is the carriage of
petroleum and petroleum products, chiefly the latter. Only
the Hawaii and Puerto Rico container vessel trades must
comply with the Jones Act; Jones Act vessels are not
required for service to Guam.
The US flag fleet is comprised of US-built vessels trading
in Jones Act trades, and non-US-built vessels, US owned
and crewed, which carry dry bulk, container, and tanker
cargoes generated by the US government. These include
AID cargoes of grains and military supplies. Maersk ,
Horizon, and others, operate non-US-built US flag vessels
in these trades.
Carriage of petroleum products along our coasts -- from
Alaska to the west coast, from US Gulf ports to other ports
on the Atlantic coast and Puerto Rico -- must be in Jones
Act vessels. This fleet is comprised of tankships and
tug/barge units built in US yards.
Therein, however, lies the problem. Shipyards in the US
lack the infrastructure and ability to compete with yards in
the far-east on a cost and efficiency basis. A series of
tankers, built recently in shipyards on both US coasts, were
of non-US design with some foreign built components, yet
cost upwards of twice -- some say thrice -- the cost of con-
struction in their home yards.
A recent effort to build three innovative tankers in a US Gulf
yard ended in failure, with a loss to the companies involved
8
-- owners, builders, and prospective users of the vessels --
of about $350,000,000.
Further, the tankers that are in service are fitted with main
engines (large slow-speed diesels) built abroad, as the US
does not have the infrastructure to build, or even under
license as most other ship building nations can, machinery
of this standard.
Arguments to abolish the Jones Act for the coastwise
tanker and container trades cannot prevail as the existing
fleet is mostly modern and a two tier system which might
allow non-US-built vessels in Jones Act trades is impracti-
cable. However, there is a trade, as yet almost completely
non-exploited, where non-US-built vessels should be per-
mitted: this is the contiguous, coastwise trade of container
and trailer cargoes between US ports.
This program, strongly advocated by the US Maritime
Administration, and aptly named Marine Highway, has
failed to come to fruition, despite serious interest on the
part of container lines seeking feeder ships to move con-
tainers from the major terminals, and from truckers and
others seeking to remove trucks from the highway system.
Efforts in this trade have not succeeded, or cannot get
underway, as the cost of entry is too high if US built vessels
must be employed.
It should be noted as well, in the context of the FT article
which bemoans the presence of non-US vessels in the US
international container trades, that aside from US govern-
ment generated cargoes, none of the considerable US
grain and coal exports is carried in US bottoms, and virtu-
ally all crude oil and petroleum products imports likewise
are carried in non-US vessels.
Sadly, we must recognize that shipbuilding is yet another
industry which has moved offshore.
Editor’s Comment—
Members are encouraged to respond in writing to the CMA.
This is an important issue.
POST CARD FROM NIGERIA
Editor’s Note: This is the second part of an article startedlast month. This month Emeka, our CMA member, tells usabout living in Nigeria and its maritime activities.
By Onyenuforo Emeka Cyriacus
Nigeria today has over 150 Million people that are starting todemand imported goods which move through the country’smajor ports – Lagos, Port Harcourt, Bonny (inshore) andCalibar. The imports in-turn boosts the activities of compa-nies like Conoco West Africa, ICM-CMA, Hull Blyth, Sea-trucks and any aspiring international body wishing to invest.
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency(NIMASA), is committed to the use of global best practicesin the maritime services in Nigeria. Their areas of focusinclude Maritime Safety Administration, Maritime LabourRegulation, Marine Pollution Prevention and Control,Search and Rescue, Cabotage enforcement, ShippingDevelopment and Ship Registration, Training andCertification of Seafarers, and Maritime CapacityDevelopment.
While we have educated and experienced people unfortu-nately this is an area where the country must improvequickly. We have many Nigerians who are highly experi-enced and trained professionals, but opportunities to usethose skills are rare. Many jobs are filled with quacks anduneducated individuals who have been given positionsbecause they know someone in the government. Eveninternships are hard to find.
If you want to do business in Nigeria the most importantstep before entering our market is to find reliable partnerswho know the ports and how things are done in our socie-ty. A good and reliable contact makes the businessprocess very easy.
Although it could be rare or difficult to find the right personsor group, but taking your time will open your eyes to theright links.We can still boast of very competent individualsand groups into the industry and outside who can assistyou during the process. The country’s market can be quiteprofitable to any shipping company or individuals who havedecided to invest.

IS THERE A“NEW NORMAL?”
By Donald B. Frost
The 17th Annual Shipping Conference sponsored by thejoint Hellenic and Norwegian - American Chambers ofCommerce was held early last month at the Waldorf-Astoria in NewYork. It was a new venue for them and quitea bit roomier than earlier editions that I have attended.Thisyear’s title was “Challenges and Opportunities for theShipping Industry: Is there a New Normal?”
After our own Conference in March, every year I find thisevent perhaps the most thought provoking. Judging fromthe attendance numbers, as well as the stature of thosespeaking and attending, I would say the 2011 edition wasvery successful.
You can find the program athttp://www.hellenicamerican.cc/events - look for PastEvents and click on Tuesday Feb. 8, 2011. I recommend toyour reading the reviews of the event by journalistic stal-warts such as George Weltman’s at Marine Money’sFreshly Minted (Feb. 10th), and Barry Parker’s for CapitalLink’s Shipping Weekly Markets Report (Feb 14th).
Personally I especially enjoyed the first panel moderatedby Blaine Collins of DNV which asked “How will increasingenvironmental regulation impact the shipping market?” Thepanelists, Charles Anderson, President, SKULD NorthAmerica, Eric Fabrikant, VP Seacor Holdings Inc., JeffLantz, U.S. Coast Guard, Clay Maitland, ManagingDirector, International Registries and Arild Wegener,Counselor (Industrial Affairs) Norwegian Embassy, all hadimportant messages that I wish you all could have heardand questioned. The juicy part of conferences is the Q&A(as you will find out at Shipping 2011, March 21-22-23) andthis panel was not only knowledgeable, but also quiteengaged in the larger issues --- commercial reality vtoday’s environmental imperatives.
I listened carefully to all the presentations and even askeda question or two, but I did not hear anything that made mefeel that there really is a New Normal (--- whatever that is)and if there is one, whose is it. I heard a lot about capitalmarkets, the growing influence of China and India and adebate as to whether M&A (mergers and acquisitions) willreturn to the shipping market.
These issues impact Shipping, as an industry, and its busi-ness model. In that context it is a new normal. We haveseen a huge increase in privately held ship owning compa-nies in the last ten years and an unprecedented (i.e.- thinkback to say before 1990) awareness of public sectorfinance of shipping as an industry or asset class. We havenew players in the freight markets on both the owning andshipper’s side and we have new criteria to judge the mar-kets – Indices and derivatives. So there is a New Normal,but in many other respects though it seems that as a cycli-cal business we may not have learned anything from theterrible shipping depression of 1981-1987.
Many of the same topics broached in February will beaddressed at CMA’s Shipping 2011 which leads me toremind you that the speed with which events are occurringaround the world is shocking, yet these events affect us.Take the time to invest in real face to face discussions withus at the CMA Shipping 2011 event, March 21-23, HiltonHotel, Stamford, CT (http://www.shipping2011.com).
EYES & INDUSTRY FOCUS ONTHE CMA SHIPPING 2011
Just a short note now that the Shipping 2011 show is justaround the corner, March 21-23, 2011 at the Hilton Hotel,Stamford, Connecticut (http://www.shipping2011.com), toshare some updates with you so that you and your col-leagues get the absolute most out of the event.
There will be some 2,000+ guests, speakers, exhibitorsattending the show at the Stamford Hilton. In that crowdare undoubtedly many of your clients, counter parties, sup-pliers and industry colleagues.We really hope that you cantake full advantage of their visit. It is because we have sucha dynamic community that the event attracts the world.One cautionary bit of advice, Greenwich and Stamford'srestaurants do book up around the show so if you arethinking of a dinner, it is good to plan early.
We hope you will encourage your colleagues and employ-ees if they are not already planning to attend, to swing byand visit the exhibits, meet business partners in the Hotel.Today's environment means getting the most out of theproducts and services that help you in your business andmany of those vendors are with us, with new ideas, ener-gy and solutions. Networking is so valuable, especially ifyou don't have to step on a plane to do it!
10
And, if you have young staff that might not ordinarily get toattend a major conference, Tuesday is a big day for the nextgeneration as Cadets from all the major maritime acade-mies will be with us for the annual job fair, and as we arealways looking to encourage the next generation the posi-tive experiences of your young staff can mean a great dealto those still in school.
There are of course serious seminars on markets, newopportunities, regulations and chartering. Receptions takeplace every night and there are dynamic lunches and ofcourse the Commodore Gala celebrating Angeliki Frangouon the Wednesday night.
The industry's trade press are all here, so if you have cor-porate news to share, growth plans to celebrate, reach out,they are all here and extremely supportive.
It is a once a year event, that focuses the eyes of our indus-try on Connecticut, on our community. We are proud of allthe support we get from so many quarters and truly hopethat you will be able to make the very most of it.
If we can help you do that in any way, please just let usknow and visit http://www.shipping2011.com to learn moreand to register.
