Market insight By Vassilis Logothes Research Analyst For some me now the Dry Bulk market has been severely affected by Chi- na’s slowing GDP growth rate that occurs in the background of increased supply of dry bulk tonnage. Daily rates for Capes are now well below $10,000 from over $200,000 in 2008, while the BCI index reached its historic low at 311 points during January 2015. Hence, it comes as no surprise that numerous shipowners consider the dem- olion market as a possible soluon to dispose of old large sized vessels that fail to cover their operang expenses at market’s current levels. But to con- clude a perfect storm, the steel market, that is the main driving force behind prices offered by cash buyers and recycling yards for the acquision of vin- tage tonnage for demolion, is currently under strong pressure as well. The laer stem from increased exports of cheap Chinese steel that is not ab- sorbed domescally and has flooded the Indian sub-connent. Moreover, prices offered by recycling yards are also negavely affected by the large volume of bulkers that are available to be sold for scrap. The aforemenoned situaon has resulted in prices offered nowadays for wet tonnage to range from 210 to 390, depending on the desnaon, and for dry tonnage from 210 to 370. Just a year ago prices ranged from 310 to 500 for the dry tonnage and 325 to 510 for the wet, a difference of more than 100 dollars per ltd. Nevertheless, the situaon in the Dry Bulk market for the Capes is so difficult that we have seen a large number of vessels finding their way to recycling yards even at these low price levels. In May alone, 15 Capes have been sold for scrap, while the same number of Capesize vessels went for scrap during the enre first five months of last year. This is something that generally characterizes the market as demo acvity across all segments is higher to the one observed last year. At this point in me and given the situaon in the Dry Bulk market one should expect the increased trend of vintage bulkers heading for demolion to connue up to the point where the freight market reaches a more viable equilibrium regarding supply and demand of tonnage. Having in mind the large volume of the Dry sector orderbook this will definitely take some me and at the same me it will come as no surprise if current demo price levels slide further. Nonetheless, and despite any addional price soſtening that could be due, the demo market is expected to connue witnessing healthy acvity, as long as the situaon in the Dry Bulk market remains tricky. Chartering (Wet: Soſt- / Dry: Stable + ) The Dry Bulk market moved sideways last week with the geared sizes sll performing beer compared to the bigger segments. The BDI closed today (02/06/2015) at 591 points, up by 2 points compared to Monday’s levels (01/06/2015) and an increase of 7 points when compared to pre- vious Tuesday’s closing (26/05/2015). Soſter enquiry in both the Middle East and W. Africa regions pushed rates for the crude carriers market down last week, while we expect things to stabilize in the following days. The BDTI Monday (01/06/2015) was at 848 points, a decrease of 53 points and the BCTI at 692, an increase of 37 points compared to previous Friday’s (22/05/2015) levels . Sale & Purchase (Wet: Soſt- / Dry: Soſt- ) SnP acvity noted an impressive slowdown across all sectors last week, signalling that this summer season we might be due to witness even soſter acvity than what we usually do throughout this period every year. On the tanker side, we had the resale of CarVal’s New Times Hull 0315819 (158,000dwt-blt 16, China), which was sold to Greek buyers for a price in the region of $59.5m. On the dry bulker side we had the sale of the “SMARTY” (45,499dwt-blt 00, Japan), which was sold to for a price in the region of $6.0m. Newbuilding (Wet: Stable - / Dry: Stable - ) The end of spring season found the newbuilding market in the same unchanged stage of the past months, with weak acvity and non- existent dry bulk ordering prevailing, while conversions and opons are sll making up a good part of the most recent reported deals. Prices appear to have momentarily stopped their downward movement but we reiterate our opinion that there is more room for further correcons during the summer season, where slower acvity usually prevails. At the same me, the trend of converng bulker orders seems to be holding strong. Orders that were placed following the good market the sector enjoyed back in the end of 2013, connue to trouble owners behind them and it seems that a big part of those who sll can, will opt for con- verng their order usually to a tanker one, while without trying to sound too pessimisc, we hope history won’t repeat itself and whatever tanker orders - original ones or conversions - are currently being placed, won’t come back to haunt their owners a couple of years down the line as it is currently happening with big bulkers. In terms of recently reported deals, China Shipping Development placed an order for four firm LR2s (115,000dwt) at Dalian, in China, for a price of $52.0m each and delivery set between 2017 and 2018. Demolion (Wet: Soſt - / Dry: Soſt - ) Demolion prices in the Indian subconnent appear to have stabilized for now, following a month of significant discounts that have leſt the market with a lower new normal in terms of acvity volume and price levels matching the year’s lows back in the beginning of March.

Market insight By Vassilis Logothetis Research Analyst

For some time now the Dry Bulk market has been severely affected by Chi-na’s slowing GDP growth rate that occurs in the background of increased supply of dry bulk tonnage. Daily rates for Capes are now well below $10,000 from over $200,000 in 2008, while the BCI index reached its historic low at 311 points during January 2015.

Hence, it comes as no surprise that numerous shipowners consider the dem-olition market as a possible solution to dispose of old large sized vessels that fail to cover their operating expenses at market’s current levels. But to con-clude a perfect storm, the steel market, that is the main driving force behind prices offered by cash buyers and recycling yards for the acquisition of vin-tage tonnage for demolition, is currently under strong pressure as well. The latter stem from increased exports of cheap Chinese steel that is not ab-sorbed domestically and has flooded the Indian sub-continent. Moreover, prices offered by recycling yards are also negatively affected by the large volume of bulkers that are available to be sold for scrap.

The aforementioned situation has resulted in prices offered nowadays for wet tonnage to range from 210 to 390, depending on the destination, and for dry tonnage from 210 to 370. Just a year ago prices ranged from 310 to 500 for the dry tonnage and 325 to 510 for the wet, a difference of more than 100 dollars per ltd.

Nevertheless, the situation in the Dry Bulk market for the Capes is so difficult that we have seen a large number of vessels finding their way to recycling yards even at these low price levels. In May alone, 15 Capes have been sold for scrap, while the same number of Capesize vessels went for scrap during the entire first five months of last year. This is something that generally characterizes the market as demo activity across all segments is higher to the one observed last year.

At this point in time and given the situation in the Dry Bulk market one should expect the increased trend of vintage bulkers heading for demolition to continue up to the point where the freight market reaches a more viable equilibrium regarding supply and demand of tonnage. Having in mind the large volume of the Dry sector orderbook this will definitely take some time and at the same time it will come as no surprise if current demo price levels slide further. Nonetheless, and despite any additional price softening that could be due, the demo market is expected to continue witnessing healthy activity, as long as the situation in the Dry Bulk market remains tricky.

Chartering (Wet: Soft- / Dry: Stable + )

The Dry Bulk market moved sideways last week with the geared sizes still performing better compared to the bigger segments. The BDI closed today (02/06/2015) at 591 points, up by 2 points compared to Monday’s levels (01/06/2015) and an increase of 7 points when compared to pre-vious Tuesday’s closing (26/05/2015). Softer enquiry in both the Middle East and W. Africa regions pushed rates for the crude carriers market down last week, while we expect things to stabilize in the following days. The BDTI Monday (01/06/2015) was at 848 points, a decrease of 53 points and the BCTI at 692, an increase of 37 points compared to previous Friday’s (22/05/2015) levels .

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Soft- / Dry: Soft- )

SnP activity noted an impressive slowdown across all sectors last week, signalling that this summer season we might be due to witness even softer activity than what we usually do throughout this period every year. On the tanker side, we had the resale of CarVal’s New Times Hull 0315819 (158,000dwt-blt 16, China), which was sold to Greek buyers for a price in the region of $59.5m. On the dry bulker side we had the sale of the “SMARTY” (45,499dwt-blt 00, Japan), which was sold to for a price in the region of $6.0m.

Newbuilding (Wet: Stable - / Dry: Stable - )

The end of spring season found the newbuilding market in the same unchanged stage of the past months, with weak activity and non-existent dry bulk ordering prevailing, while conversions and options are still making up a good part of the most recent reported deals. Prices appear to have momentarily stopped their downward movement but we reiterate our opinion that there is more room for further corrections during the summer season, where slower activity usually prevails. At the same time, the trend of converting bulker orders seems to be holding strong. Orders that were placed following the good market the sector enjoyed back in the end of 2013, continue to trouble owners behind them and it seems that a big part of those who still can, will opt for con-verting their order usually to a tanker one, while without trying to sound too pessimistic, we hope history won’t repeat itself and whatever tanker orders - original ones or conversions - are currently being placed, won’t come back to haunt their owners a couple of years down the line as it is currently happening with big bulkers. In terms of recently reported deals, China Shipping Development placed an order for four firm LR2s (115,000dwt) at Dalian, in China, for a price of $52.0m each and delivery set between 2017 and 2018.

Demolition (Wet: Soft - / Dry: Soft - )

Demolition prices in the Indian subcontinent appear to have stabilized for now, following a month of significant discounts that have left the market with a lower new normal in terms of activity volume and price levels matching the year’s lows back in the beginning of March. Wheth-er the summer season will continue in the same mood is too soon to tell. Breakers in Bangladesh and Pakistan will focus on the outcome of their countries’ respective budgets, both due before the end of the week. Should rumors for increased tax on the industry are announce, this will normally affect both prices and breakers’ appetite to acquire tonnage. On the other hand things in India seem to be slightly better, and this is evident in the presence of sales involving Indian breakers, who now seem a bit encouraged by the revival of both local steel prices and the Indian Rupee. Prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 225-385 $/ldt and dry units received about 210-370 $/ldt.

Chartering

It’s been a while since we last saw rates across the crude carriers market witnessing similar discounts in just a week’s time, as one of the main char-acteristics of the past months has been the strong sentiment, which has been lifting the market up even at times when favourable enquiry was not there. As the number of Middle East cargoes significantly reduced last week, rates in the region followed course, with the spillovers quickly weigh-ing down on the rest of the market as well, pushing rates south across al-most all key trading routes. Bunker prices on the other hand kept siding with owners, while activity in the period market remained evidence of the still strong fundamentals of the market despite this recent decline.

The VL market closed off on Friday with further reductions being noted and despite the fact that rates for both the Eastbound and Westbound voyages kicked off the week with signs of a stronger market, while we expect the market to stabilize in the following days.

The W. Africa Suezmax market also remained on a downward slope last week, with even less fresh business circulating compared to the week prior, while this in the Med also slowed down mid-week onwards.

With minor exceptions, the Aframax market was also under pressure last week, with cross-Med and cross-UKC activity slowing down following a busy end of April and the Caribs Afra softening on the back of limited business.

Sale & Purchase

In the Suezmax sector we had the resale of CarVal’s New Times Hull 0315819 (158,000dwt-blt 16, China), which was sold to Greek buyers for a price in the region of $59.5m.

In the chemical sector we had the sale of the “CHEM ORION” (10,307dwt-blt 98, Japan), which was sold for $6.5m.

This has been another week that the Dry Bulk market failed to offer any

positive surprises, while the BDI, which is still faring below 600 points, hard-

ly moved compared to the week prior. The smaller size segments once

more outperformed the market, while on the period front we saw slightly

improved enquiry across all size segments. The summer season is not kick-

ing off with too much promise for a positive reversal in the market and

despite the fact that there has been a lot of talk in regards to China’s iron

ore inventories, with reports seeing opportunity for Capesize rates, we still

maintain the view that a more dramatic fall in Chinese iron ore stockpiles

needs to take place before we start talking about changing fundamentals

for the segment.

The Capesize market moved sideways last week, with both the spot and the

period market seeing improved levels of activity, but rates seemed stuck

around last dones, with no significant improvements being noted as the

market slid into the weekend and holidays taking place as this week kicked

off slowing down things further.

The Panamax market remained very quiet last week with rates moving

downwards across both basins, while fresh orders from the ECSA during the

second half of the week managed to improve sentiment just before the

week came to a close.

The Atlantic Handysize/ Handymax/ Supramax business was moving side-

ways last week, with certain owners becoming a bit more optimistic on the

back of fresh enquiry out of the USG, while the positive sentiment was also

supported by some decent fixtures reported in the Far East.

Sale & Purchase

In the Panamax sector, we had the sale of the “DOMINA” (73,593dwt-blt 07, China), which was reported being sold for a price of $9.3m.

In the Handymax sector we had the sale of the “SMARTY” (45,499dwt-blt 00, Japan), which was sold to for a price in the region of $6.0m.

The end of spring season found the newbuilding market in the same un-changed stage of the past months, with weak activity and non-existent dry bulk ordering prevailing, while conversions and options are still making up a good part of the most recent reported deals. Prices appear to have momen-tarily stopped their downward movement but we reiterate our opinion that there is more room for further corrections during the summer season, where slower activity usually prevails. At the same time, the trend of converting bulker orders seems to be holding strong. Orders that were placed following the good market the sector enjoyed back in the end of 2013, continue to trouble owners behind them and it seems that a big part of those who still can, will opt for converting their order usually to a tanker one, while without trying to sound too pessimistic, we hope history won’t repeat itself and whatever tanker orders - original ones or conversions - are currently being placed, won’t come back to haunt their owners a couple of years down the line as it is currently happening with big bulkers.

In terms of recently reported deals, China Shipping Development placed an order for four firm LR2s (115,000dwt) at Dalian, in China, for a price of $52.0m each and delivery set between 2017 and 2018.

Demolition prices in the Indian subcontinent appear to have stabilized for now, following a month of significant discounts that have left the market with a lower new normal in terms of activity volume and price levels match-ing the year’s lows back in the beginning of March. Whether the summer season will continue in the same mood is too soon to tell. Breakers in Bangla-desh and Pakistan will focus on the outcome of their countries’ respective budgets, both due before the end of the week. Should rumors for increased tax on the industry are announce, this will normally affect both prices and breakers’ appetite to acquire tonnage. On the other hand things in India seem to be slightly better, and this is evident in the presence of sales involv-ing Indian breakers, who now seem a bit encouraged by the revival of both local steel prices and the Indian Rupee. Prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 225-385 $/ldt and dry units received about 210-370 $/ldt.

The highest price amongst recently reported deals, was that paid by Indian breakers for the Container vessel “AT 14” (9,868dwt-4,539ldt-blt 92), which received $385/ldt.

Finance News

“Bahri wins sukuk OK

The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) has won approval of its latest fund-raising effort.

The country’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) an-nounced that it has approved a sukuk, the Islamic finance equivalent of the bond, for the shipowner.

“The total offering size will be determined at a later stage by the company,” the authority said.

However, executives said last month that it was plan-ning a SAR 3.9bn ($1.04bn) Islamic bond offering, according to Reuters.

The cash grab comes after Bahri announced last week that it is ordering five VLCCs at South Korea’s Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries. The deal, first reported by TradeWinds in April, includes options for five more vessels.

The Saudi shipowner said the firm VLCC newbuildings are due for delivery during 2017. No financial terms were disclosed.

77-ship fleet

Led by chief executive Ibrahim Abdulrahman Al-Omar, Bahri controls a fleet of 77 tankers, bulkers and ro-ros.

The company has recently signed a 10-year agree-ment with South Korea’s S-Oil Corporation.

Under this agreement, it will transport crude oil car-goes on VLCCs from the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea to Ulsan in South Korea.” (Eric Martin, Trade Winds)
