DRY BULK MARKET HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF STABILITY - INTERMODAL


Chartering (Wet: Stable+ / Dry: Stable-)
The Dry Bulk market has shown signs of stability this past week, with the sole exception of Capes, rates for which continued to correct downwards for a second week in a row.

The BDI closed today (22/10/2013) at 1,847 points, down by 31 points compared to Monday’s levels (21/10/2013) and a decrease of 116 points compared to the previous Tuesday’s levels (15/10/2013). VLs succeed another weekly boost, with demand holding steady, while the North Sea blessed Aframax rates that surged on the back of short ballasting lists in the region. The BDTI Monday (21/10/2013), was at 621 points, an increase of 35 points and the BCTI at 498, a decrease of 14 points compared to the previous Monday’s levels (14/10/2013).

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Stable+ / Dry: Stable+)
SnP activity has surged this week with the majority of the deals concluded involving dry tonnage. The latest firing up in buying interest for second hand bulkers continues to boost price levels in the segment. On the tankers side, we had the sale of the “DIAMOND ATERNITY” (107,500dwt-blt 11, Japan), which was picked up for a price of US$ 31.1m. On the dry bulker side, we had the en-bloc sale of the “CAPE KESTREL” (161,475dwt-blt 93 S. Korea) and the “GRAFTON” (122,292dwt-blt 96 S. Korea) which were picked up by Ukrainian buyer, Vista Shipping, for a price of $ 12.5m and $ 8.0m respectively.

New building (Wet: Firm+ / Dry: Firm+)
Activity on the newbuilding front is keeping its pace, with the majority of the deals coming to light this past week being for dry tonnage. Although we are trying to be as realistic as possible regarding this recent boost in new building prices for dry bulkers, the truth is that most of the contracts that are being inked lately are steadily done on firmer and firmer prices, creating a higher market average for almost all sizes in the sector.

Some of the most recently reported orders for Capes are displaying a clear trend that we should be soon moving into the mid $ 50s million territory for the segment, having us think that from that level the figure could easily jump to the $ 60.0m area, especially for earlier slots should demand continue to be strong and the freight market improve further in the next twelve months. In terms of new orders, Greek owner Alpha Tankers & Freighters was reported placing an order of four firm Capesize vessels (180,000dwt) at Hyundai Mipo, in S. Korea, for a price of $ 56.5m each and with delivery set between 2015 and 2016.

Demolition (Wet: Stable- / Dry: Stable-)
Activity in the demolition market has considerably slowed down this week. Nevertheless, this didn't have any immediate impact on prices, which remained stable across the board. As it has been happening lately, cash buyers have managed to conclude a small number of deals above market for yet another week, distorting again the image of the actual bids that are being offered on average in the Indian sub-Continent. At the same time the Indian Rupee seems to have stabilized and it's seems that this will continue to be the case at least for the short term.

Pakistan has returned from inactivity this past week, despite the holidays still taking place, scrapping a VL and at a price around 20 $/ldt higher than what is the current level for wet tonnage over there. Demand for demo candidates has remained pretty much non-existent in the Far East, with Chinese yards seeming unable to attract owners’ interest after the price gap with the rest of the breakers nations has widened again. Average prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 360-425$/ldt and dry units received about 350-410$/ldt.
