SHIPPING MARKET INSIGHT - GIANNIS ANDRITSOPOULOS
IntermodalDuring the duration of the first half of the year, the dry bulk market saw intense buying interest that boosted SnP prices significantly. We saw a number of Greek buyers showing intense interest in 15-year old Supramax and Panamax vessels, which led values in some cases to appreciate even more than 50% in the time span of seven to eight months. Indeed the quick reversal in second hand prices showed its first signs in the very beginning of the year, when a sudden psychology boost post New Year’s on the back of an improving freight market pushed the price of 2005 built Panamax from USD 7.3m at the end of February to around USD 10.0m about two weeks later on.

The momentum in second-hand prices was so strong that throughout the downward correction of freight rates during the second quarter, asset values moved downwards a bit but resisted very well nonetheless. The number of transactions that took place during this time was evidently smaller, as Sellers didn’t seem ready to give in the pressure and some had to withdraw their vessels waiting for a positive correction of the market. A representative example during the past weeks is that of the Panamax bulkers M/V ‘BULK MONACO’ (76,596dwt-blt 08, Japan) and the M/V ‘UNICORN OCEAN’ (78,888dwt-blt 08, Japan), the owners of which were unsatisfied with the offers they received and decided not to sell.

The Capesize market also witnessed a similar trend following the sale of the M/V ‘YURITAMOU’ (180,184dwt-blt 07, Japan) at USD 23.4m in May. The M/V ‘IVS CABERNET’ (177,173dwt-blt 07, Japan) that came up as a sale candidate following the former sale, saw very limited buying interest and the highest offered it received was in the mid USD 16.0m, which led to its withdrawal from the market.

As far as Supramax vessels are concerned, we could say that Chinese candidates are currently the most tempting deals. Indeed, 10-yr old Chinese Supras are now sold at less than USD 9.0m, while a few days ago a Japanese Supra built in 2003 was sold at USD 8.0m.

With the increased asset values on the dry bulker side, many ship owners with diversified fleets have also focused on the tanker market and in some cases on containers as well. The MR segment has witnessed increased SnP interest during the past months, with traditional tanker owners opting for 15-yr old vessels, as prices in that particular class were seen relatively more attractive. Despite this revived investing in the segment though, the pressure on behalf of perspective Buyers is still present, with the market showing a lack of direction at the moment. There are currently some “private” units marketed, belonging to Sellers who appear willing to only sell at levels in line with the market.

Looking at the Aframax/LR2 segment, Sellers here are slightly more confident, as Buyers, in this case, appear more determined to approach their ideas. With regards to the newbuilding market, despite the increased order book in the bigger tanker sizes, there is still a very healthy number of orders being reported pretty much on a weekly basis, with notable interest in S. Korean MRs and Aframaxes/LR2s. Whether this trend will resume throughout the remainder of the year is early to tell, although we won’t be surprised if that proves to be the case given what we have seen during the first half.
