THE DRY BULK MARKET HAS LOST SOME OF ITS STEAM THESE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS: INTERMODAL


Chartering (Wet: Softer-  / Dry: Softer-  )
The Dry Bulk market has lost some of its steam these past couple of days although hires, especially for the larger Capesize vessels, are still holding at relatively good levels. The BDI closed today (07/01/2014) at 1,876 points, down by 75 points compared to yesterday’s levels (06/01/2014) and a decrease of 401 points compared to the pre-Christmas closing (24/12/2013). The tanker market was a touch softer these past couple of days. Nevertheless, this small correction is relatively minor compared to the rally seen during the last days of 2013. The BDTI Friday (06/01/2014), was at 1,006 points, an increase of 9 points and the BCTI at 607, a decrease of 9 points compared to the pre-Christmas closing (24/12/2013). 

Sale & Purchase (Wet: Firm+  / Dry: Firm+  )
Despite much of the industry being distracted by the Holiday festivities, a number of owners took this perfect opportunity to swoop in and act, securing a number of vessels before the market strengthens any further as they believe. Prices as such witnessed a further increase during these past two weeks, and although are still on the low end compared to their most recent historical levels, they are now at well above (on average +30% Y-O-Y gain) the absolute lows of early 2013. On the tankers side, we had the enbloc sale of the “VALCONE” (109,060dwt-blt 09, China) and “VALPIAVE” (109,060dwt-blt 10, China) which were reported sold for a price of US$ 28.0m each. On the dry bulker side, we had the sale of the “ST. ANDREW” (82,000dwt-blt 13 S. Korea) which was picked up for a price of $ 6.8m.

New building (Wet: Firm+  / Dry: Firm+  )
Despite many yards having relaxed their marketing activity as they closed off the year, there was still significant interest amongst several buyers allowing for further deals to emerge over the Christmas break. The New Year now seems to be on a good foot and as prompt delivery seems to no longer be an option for most of the top tier yards, this seems to serve as a further market catalyst, propelling both interest and in turn prices for new building orders. What’s even more notable from this most recent rise in prices is that you are currently paying a significant premium to what you would have played a year back and in turn you receive a longer wait until delivery. This is what most owners had been fearing while, it is also what has helped prime prices for resale units and in turn prices for very modern second-hand vessels. In terms of new orders, Russia’s Yamal LNG, handing over a tender for 16 ice-class LNG carriers(170,000cbm) to Daewoo of S. Korea, for a reported price of $ 300.0m each.

Demolition (Wet: Softer- / Dry: Softer-)
Despite the intense competition and further price hikes that we witnessed during the last month of 2013, things seemed to slow down as we switched over to the New Year. Both the Bangladesh and Pakistan market lost their strong foothold and firm prices leaving Indian breakers with a chance to secure high profile tonnage with less competition and at slightly softer prices to what they probably would have paid around a month prior. Only China was looking to hold firm despite having not seen any significant activity in terms of deals concluded. There is still a significant gap between China and the Indian Sub-Continent, something which now looks to likely hold for the upcoming months as well. Average prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 350-445$/ldt and dry units received about 340-430$/ldt.
