DRY BULK MARKET RETREATS AGAIN ON HIGHER SHIP SUPPLY - NIKOS ROUSSANOGLOU, HELLENIC SHIPPING NEWS


In further evidence of a latest round of dry bulk shipping misery, the industry's benchmark fell for the 11th straight session yesterday, as the influx of new building vessels continues to plague the market. The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) was down by 31 points to 916 points, with the Capesize market facing the biggest losses. The relative Baltic Capesize Index (BCI) was down by 4 percent to 2,098 points, while the average daily earnings were downy by $876 to $13,545. Additionally, the Panamax market was also down by 1.34 percent to 737 points. Panamax average earnings was down by $76 to $5,904 daily. Average daily earnings for handysize and supramax ships were down to $6,089 and $6,761, respectively.

According to the latest weekly report from shipbroker Fearnleys, commenting on the Capesize market, "after a couple of weeks rally, rates have been dropping throughout this week. West Australia is presently at very low 9s, compared to close to 11 end of October. Fronthaul which was excess USD 24 at the same time is presently around USD 20 (for December dates), with a lack of fixtures being concluded and some prompt/unfixed ships outside Brazil. There is a good demand for period ships, but rates are generally too low to attract owners´ attention, as they keep the recent "mini-boom" fresh in mind" the shipbroker noted.

Meanwhile, in the Panamax market, "the trend from last week continued into this week with little transatlantic business entering the market and plenty of ships looking for same. Some grain cargos for end November/beginning December destined for China are still being quoted, but at lower volumes than expected. Fhauls are now paying around mid 13k for Cont delivery or USD 14k + USD 400k bss APS USG. In the eastern hemisphere we still see a fairly active market with Indonesian coal still being shipped. The latter is however under pressure mid-week with plenty of ships competing for the same cargos. Pacific rounds are now being paid around USD 7k. The period market is not too active at the moment but still some short period deals being done in the mid 7´s for 4/8 months" said Fearnleys. In a separate report, shipbroker Shiptrade & Services noted on the Supramax markets that "Supramax market is steadily losing its pace, with the BSI Index closing at 669, a 30-point decrease compared to last week. Trips from ECSA to Med/Cont pay around USD 8,5/9000 and in comparison to Week 44, the number of cargoes from ECSA to FEAST has been substantially decreased. Fronthauls from USG to FEast pay around mid teens, whereas for delivery BSea to FEast could see numbers starting from 5 digits. On the positive side, prompt tonnage supply at ECSA is relatively low and owners are optimistic that the rates will increase in the next weeks. In the pacific supramax market, the Indonesian coal to S.E Asia and India and has set the pace, as the demand for vessels ex NOPAC and N.China has been substantially decreased. NOPAC rounds were seen closing at aps USD 7000 + 300k ballast bonus. Large, eco Supras are being fixed at around USD 11000 basis delivery Singapore.

For another week, the Indian Iron ore market has been quiet too, with ECI-China rates at levels around USD 4000 and for WCI-China at USD 3000. Regarding fertilizers from Red Sea to India there has not been any substantial difference compared to Week 44, with cargoes being fixed at levels around USD high teens. Richards Bay coal terminal fixtures were closed at USD 8000 + 200K ballast bonus on an aps basis. Short period rates for large Supras are hovering around USD 9000 but with not much activity being seen" it said.

Finally, in the Handy markets, Fearnleys said that "the Atlantic market continues to remain weak with rates further softening on FH. Rates from USG to Feast were around USD 14k and Black Sea to Feast about USD 10k. USG-Skaw-Passero rates are around USD 9k. The Pacific market remained stable with rates mostly unchanged with fair amount of cargoes and tonnages. For Indo-India, large eco Supra now fixed at USD 11k for dely Singapore. Nopac also fixed bss APS at USD 7500 + BB USD 325k. Indian iron ore market remains quiet with less activity on WCI & ECI. WCI-China rates around USD 4k and ECI-China around USD 3k. RBCT rv fixed at APS USD 8k + BB USD 200k. Red Sea fertilisers to India are fixed high teens. Not much activity seen on short period and rates around USD 9k for large Supra" Fearnleys concluded.
