THE DRY BULK MARKET KEPT MOVING SIDEWAYS LAST WEEK; SECOND HAND PURCHASES MOVING NORTH - INTERMODAL
IntermodalOnce again its Posidonia time and the biannual exhibition takes place during a very warm June here in Athens, as if the performance of the dry bulk market during this year had not given us already enough reasons to sweat.

So far in the year 234 second hand transactions on the bulk side and 113 transactions on the wet have been reported. This shows a correlation between market confidence and opportunity recognition. To be more specific there is a lack of confidence on the wet side and a clear acknowledgment of investment opportunities on the dry side despite of the dismal earnings.

Literally every bulk carrier that enters the market gets sold as long as it is built post 1997. There were particular buying patterns along the past five months. At certain times Capes were the crowd’s favorites, while during other times Handysize vessels were being sold faster than freshly baked cupcakes.

Buyers’ preference shifted from size to size. Bigger ships attracted buyers willing to take a much more substantial risk, as subsidizing their respective vessel/s for a longer period of time appeared to be a greater possibility compared to what it would be having bought a smaller vessel that was usually preferred by investors taking a more modest approach.

Clearly the scale tips towards the geared ships when it comes to total sales. But we can see that when the BDI was at its lowest level there was a lot more activity in the Capesize segment compared to the months that the BDI started correcting upwards. At the same time Supramaxes remained popular throughout all these months and demand for Handysize vessels was also more or less steady. It is interesting to see that Panamax/Kamsarmax sale candidates started seeing a rise in interest during March and April, about the same time the dry bulk index started to rise.

So what can we make out of this? Even though assumptions are often proven wrong in this market, one could say that buyers seem willing to bet big when they believe that the absolute market bottom has been reached and that psychology is at its worse. The steady preference on smaller ships like Supramaxes and Handies could also be perceived as a sign that buyers expect these to be the first ships to enjoy an improved market. The sudden increase in Panamax/Kamsarmax purchases right after the BDI started to rise could be interpreted as a rush to  acquire tonnage before asset values move up.

Let’s see how the summer months progress and how investors will react during the remainder of 2016, a year that admittedly kicked off with the worse possible signs.
