DRY BULK MARKET KEEPS EXHIBITING SIGNS OF WEAKNESS THIS WEEK - NIKOS ROUSSANOGLOU, HELLENIC SHIPPING


The dry bulk market seems to be unable to climb at new highs this week, showing signs of weakness, across most ship types. Yesterday, the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) was down by 0.21% to 1,406 points, with panamaxes falling by 1.62%, while Capesizes were stronger, rising by 1.31% to 1,859 poins (Baltic Capesize Index).

According to shipbroker Fearnley’s latest weekly report, in the Capesize market there were “continuous spikes in the Pacific with rates upto USD 8 pmt for West Australia/China being fixed end last week, however charters quickly managed to control the development and got rates down to 7.75-7.85 range. This is still the going rate after a 2 digits number of fixtures concluded at these levels so far this week. In the Atlantic the owners turned more bull after a good number of fresh enquiries last week, but for this week rates have remained steady. However, a shortlived improvement is expected. Period marked is unchanged, with short period rates around low 10,000s”.

In a similar report, Shiptrade Services mentioned that “the week commenced with the transatlantic rates on high pressure, and we could see a BCI type vessel fixed at USD 6.000 per day. During Tuesday we saw some new stems into the market and a couple of vessels fixed at levels around USD 10.000 per day, which seems to be the new benchmark for this route. In the Brazil-China route we could scarcely see any fixtures reported. In the Pacific, the market was more active. In the Australia – China route we saw about 10 vessels fixed for this trade, and rates fluctuating between USD 7.50 pmt – USD 7.85 pmt” said the shipbroker.

On the panamax market, Fearnley’s said that “the Panamax market and especially the Atlantic basin continued to soften this week. The tonnage list is increasing and the fresh cargoes are lacking. Transatlantic business are being fixed at ard USD 16,500 about USD 1,500 down from last week. We still see a healthy demand from ECSA with grains for direction Feast and the rates are stable at ard USD 24,500 daily bss Cont/Med delivery. Apart from the somewhat healthy fronthaul market, both hemispheres are softening with prompt open vsls popping up which again has a negative influence to the rates. For Pacific rounds the vsls are being fixed in the region of USD 13,000 while the backhaul business has been quiet. The period market has been fairly active with a couple of short periods being reported at ard USD 15k with Feast delivery and a one year deal was concluded at USD 13,375 daily” the shipbroker mentioned.

In its report on the Supramax market, Shiptrade said that “in the Atlantic region rates remained in the same levels like the week before with a high demand ex USG and ECSA. We witnessed a fixture ex USG to Feast on a modern vessel, M/V Jin Zhou (50.000 DWT/01’) fixed at USD 28.000per day for trip to F.East. Rates for fronthaul trade were at levels around USD 20-21.000 per day bassis delivery W.Africa, and rates for Transatlantic round is around USD 15-16.000 per day. In the pacific the week began with a big difficulty and softening rates. It has been reported a 57.000DWT vessel fixed delivery S.Korea for a trip via Australia back to china for USD 9.500 per day For trips ex Nopac, a 53.000 DWT vessel has been reported fixed at USD 9.500 per day + 335.000 ballast bonus bassis aps Nopac. Demand for Nickel ore carries is still here, but rates have also softened a bit. Vessels are fixed around USD 12.000 per day bassis delivery N. China”, concluded Shiptrade.

Finally, on the smaller Handies front, Fearnley’s sees signs of a good balance between cargo/tonnage, but a more uncertanty the coming week as ballasters are entering the Atlantic basin from South Africa/India range. “The Pacific market is a bit busy with increase in Indo-India activity. For Indo-India, Supras in North China are getting close to 11k. Nickel-ore rounds are getting firm rates in low-mid teens. Very quiet on the iron ore front due to monsoons, WCI-China rates slided to 11k and from ECI around 9k. Few ECI tonnage seen for Indo-India biz at usd 12k. Red Sea, ferts on Handymax/Supras are fixed at very mid 20´s pmt on voyage basis to WC India. Period deals done at 14-15k for large Supras” concluded the shipbroker’s report.
