SHIPPING MARKET INSIGHT
 Going through a relatively interesting second half of the year so far in the ship repair sector, we are experiencing a volatile climate of different speculations on how the repair market will react to the upcoming regulations and the ongoing relatively low freights. The parameters of a successful repair plan are increasing in numbers and complexity, while Owners are trying to have the most potential trading options available for the charterers.
The still ‘immature’ deadline – September 2017 – posted by IMO on the implementation of the Ballast Treatment System convention is reminding us the dry-dock congestion faced two years ago, when the US Coast guard was exercising similar strategies. The dilemma for the Owners remains the same “to bring the dry-docking date forward or not?”. Being in the same position yet again, shipping companies are reacting more conservatively this time around, trying to first exhaust all possibilities to escape from the terrifying regulations. Certificates de-harmonization is one of the proposed solutions.
Together with Owners, Flags, Classification Societies and Port State Controls are also collaborating in parallel. The scene remains blur since instructions by IMO’s last convention (MEPC 70), carried out at the end of October 2016 are once again rolling further down the line the final decision of whether a further postponement should take place or not, decided to be discussed again during the next convention (MEPC 71) that will take place in April next year. Nevertheless, while considering the above, ship repair facilities are expecting a bottleneck closer to the implementation date, feeling uncomfortable to maintain their already offered enormous discounts and exposure to future commitments.
On top of the BWMS, there are other regulations that are also exerting a lot of pressure on proper repair planning. Panama Canal's new, larger locks have forced a lot of Owners to urgently proceed with mooring arrangement modification. This modification can be either take place at the shipyard or afloat at anchorage. Another regulation that is going to shake the current situation a lot is the approaching stricter emission control regulations, which are setting different standards for the engine makers and vessel’s operators. The implementation of a global 0.5 per cent on sulphur emission will be carried out in 2020. Strategic decisions may be taken in advance by Owners on the perspective to use scrubbers or shifting to alternative fuels such as LNG, which may result in major structural and mechanical modifications.
Despite the above speculation, as of now, the second half of the year is about to complete with repairs workload being slack and with strong shipyards keep investing in enhanced repair facilities. Owners are trying to get the full advantage of the excellent prices still offered by repair yards, starting to recognize that the pricing paradise may not last for ever.
Another factor that may impact the price levels offered in the repair sector during next year may be the percentage of those newbuilding shipyards that are now considering getting involved in ship repair business that will actually do so. In the absence of actual contracting, which has dramatically decreased since last year, the number of those shipbuilding yards that decide to get a piece of the ship repair action might actually be substantial to intensify competition significantly.
