Market insight By George Vastardis
Tanker Chartering Broker
Despite the traditionally quieter summer period, the clean tanker market has so far experienced healthy activity especially East of Suez. Increased demand of clean products and increased refining capacity in the Middle East along with stronger global refining margins in Europe, have been boosting product trade to higher levels since the beginning of 2015.
Over the last couple of weeks, the MR market was not that active, which has resulted on softer rates. However, lack of prompt vessels along with some Charterers looking for LR1 tonnage in order to cover their MR cargoes in the MEG, started supporting rates. In brief we assess WCI/JAPAN basis 35kmt naphtha at W147.5-w150 and MEG/UKC jet fuel hovers at $ 1.8k levels, MEG/EAF basis 35kmt at w195 levels, cross MEG high300k-low400k and MEG/Red Sea firm at 900k levels respectively.
Meanwhile the Atlantic slowed down and since last week a surplus of ton-nage eventually pushed rates about 10-15 points down across the board due to lack of demand. We assess USG/Europe basis 38kmt at w105 levels, Cont/T-A at w175-w180 levels basis 37kmt and Cont/WAF at w195 respec-tively. On the other hand, cross UKC Handies remained stable at w205 basis 30kmt. Moving on to the MED, we experience more activity, which is driving rates for cross MED up to w250-260 levels due to tight tonnage lists and allows Owners to push for more.
Owners believe that MR market will further firm up or at least will stay sta-ble, taking under consideration long T/C contracts during the past months, ranging from $17k to mid-high18k levels for 6mos, 1 year or more.
The LR market has witnessed signs of increased activity East of Suez and in the Far East accordingly, which drove the market to remarkable higher levels especially on the LR2 segments. MEG/Japan reached w140 levels basis 75kmt naphtha, MEG/UKC jet fuels reached at $ 3.3m levels and due to tight tonnage we even noticed WAF ballasters sailing towards the MEG in order take advantage of the stronger market there. On the other hand the west-ern LR2 market is also witnessing healthy demand on naphtha from West to East, assessing at $ 3.2m levels loading from UKC to Japan. Unsurprisingly the Far East backhaul cargoes for LR2 jumped to 700k levels for the ex-Korea to Singapore area and to mid-high600k levels for the LR1 respectively.
Despite the semi-tight LR1 tonnage list in the MEG, somehow owners held back expecting a boost on rates as a spillover from the LR2 rally, which even-tually was the case. We noticed a progressively increase of about 5 to 10 points basis 55k naphtha for MEG/Japan at w155-160 levels, while jet deliv-eries to UKC basis 60kmt at 2.7m levels and Korea/UKC assessed at 2.85m respectively.
Over in the West, we also noticed a slower demand over the last week and eventually rates moved down to w140-145 levels for UKC to WAF basis 60kmt and the traditional 60kmt USG to Europe to around w97.5 levels re-spectively. As we expect more ballasters from USWC or USAC to be attracted to the MEG, it seems that more lucrative rates will be required for cargoes with eastern destination.
In conclusion, the CPP market seems positive in the short term, with ex-pected ups and downs depending on tonnage supply and cargo demand. Taking also under consideration the limited fleet growth for 2015 and the still unresolved situation in both Libya and Iran, it seems that the following few months, healthy rates will keep prevailing in the market .
Chartering (Wet: Soft - / Dry: Soft - )
The Dry Bulk market closed off on a negative tone as Capesize rates seem to have lost their strong momentum for now. The BDI closed to-day (07/07/2015) at 830 points, up by 15 points compared to Monday’s levels (06/07/2015) and an increase of 30 points when compared to previous Tuesday’s closing (30/06/2015). The crude carriers noted fresh loses last week, while the price of oil remained under considerable pres-sure. The BDTI Monday (06/07/2015) was at 903 points, a decrease of 95 points and the BCTI at 829, an increase of 49 points compared to previous Monday’s (29/06/2015) levels .
Sale & Purchase (Wet: Stable + / Dry: Soft - )
Activity in the SnP market eased off last week, while tanker candidates gathered most of the buying interest this time round, with a clear pref-erence in larger segments in the sector. On the tanker side, we had the sale of the “SASA” (300,259dwt-blt 01, Japan) which was picked up by Russian buyer, Murmansk Shipping for a price of $40.5m. On the dry bulker side, we had the sale of the “SPARTIA” (75,115dwt-blt 00, Japan), which was reported being sold to Greek buyers for a price of $6.5m.
Newbuilding (Wet: Stable + / Dry: Soft - )
Activity in the newbuilding market significantly decreased last week, while the most recent orders reported were exclusively, concentrated around the tanker and container sectors. Needless to say that the anae-mic volume of new orders or the fact that investors still steer clear from the dry bulk sector hardly comes as a surprise. Last week we saw the Capesize price moving further below the $ 50.0m level, touching the 2013 average price, while newbuilding prices for the entire sector re-main fragile and vulnerable to further markdowns in the following months and as long as the Dry Bulk market remains deprived of full-on confidence. At the same time and under a fairly different environment, container orders have been enjoying substantial interest, with more and more key players in the sector investing in newbuildings. Among them, the Taiwanese, Evergreen has announced the ordering of twenty new container units during 2015 with details of the first half of this order surfacing last week, adding to the already improved newbuilding activity in the sector. In terms of recently reported deals, China Shipping Devel-opment Co. has placed an order for four firm LR2s (114,000dwt) at Guangzhou, in China, for a price in the region of $50.0m each and deliv-ery set in 2017.
Demolition (Wet: Soft - / Dry: Soft - )
Things in the demolition market have taken another turn for the worse last week with prices across the board dropping below the already dis-counted levels of late and fears for a further softening in the following days washing over the market. In China, where the local stock market is in heavy turmoil, demo prices practically collapsed last week, moving down more than 10% on the back of Chinese steel prices touching their lowest levels in over 20 years as local demand for the commodity keeps waning. Steel prices in the Indian subcontinent market are also still un-der pressure, with the monsoon period keep adding to the negative sentiment of the past weeks, while despite the soft market, activity managed to sustain its volumes last week, fact indicative of certain own-ers’ will to dispose of vintage tonnage even at those low prices, while dry bulk units still had the lion’s share among those vessels that headed for scrap last week. Prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 200-370 $/ldt and dry units received about 180-350 $/ldt.

The softening of the market experienced just before July kicked off, has continued weighing down on the crude carriers market, which closed off on Friday noting a weekly decline across the board, while activity as far as peri-od business is concerned, also quietened further last week following a more active second half during the month of June. The market remained for a second week in a row focused on the developments surrounding the per-formance of oil prices , as these kept moving south, tumbling over 8% just yesterday, on the back of worries around the globe. The Greek crisis, the sell-off in the Chinese stock market and the supply glut that could be rein-forced, remain the main factors that keep casting their shadow on the glob-al demand outlook as well as crushing the price of the commodity.
Rates for VLs eased off further last week, giving up more of their recent gains, as things in the Middle East remained slow while tonnage in the re-gion was also plenty. Owners have nonetheless put forth considerable re-sistance, which could nonetheless break his week should charterers keep moving slow
The W. Africa Suezmax managed to turnaround and cover some of the lost ground during the second half of the week, while things in the Med re-mained quiet. Aframax rates remained in search of support throughout the week, while rates for Afras in the Baltic were getting crushed at the same time.
Sale & Purchase
In the VLCC sector, we had the sale of the “SASA” (300,259dwt-blt 01, Ja-pan) which was picked up by Russian buyer, Murmansk Shipping for a price of $40.5m.
In the Aframax sector we had the sale of the “ACADIA” (113,005dwt-blt 08, China) which was sold to Greek buyers for a price in the region of $38.0m.

A different picture from what we saw the previous week was painted dur-
ing the July debut in the Dry Bulk market, with the BDI closing off softer on
Friday and the Capesize segment, the main driver behind the strength the
market displayed in the past weeks, losing ground. Is the mini-rally of late
stalling before the market moves another leg up or are we most probably
going to see current levels at least until the end of the summer season? The
fact that period enquiry has stalled further this past week is one of the signs
pointing towards a more bearish view for the coming weeks, while in terms
of macro developments, the fact that the Chinese stock market has been
plummeting is definitely a big red flag with regards to the small degree of
confidence investors are currently viewing the intervention of the local
government with.
Lack of fresh business in the Pacific left Capesize rates moving sideways in
the region with period business being limited, while things in the Atlantic
were slightly better, with owners failing to support higher ideas nonethe-
less.
The Panamax segment outperformed by a lot the rest of the market, mostly
due to fresh business that kept emerging from East Coast South America
and the U.S. Gulf, while period enquiry was particularly stronger for the
segment last week. At the same time, out of the Pacific, the market was
steadier, with rates trending sideways for the bigger part of the week.
The Atlantic Handysize/ Handymax/ Supramax market improved with better
numbers being offered up until now on the back of stronger enquiry in the
USG, while at the same time the Continent was stable/positive.
Sale & Purchase
In the Panamax sector, we had the sale of the “SPARTIA” (75,115dwt-blt 00, Japan), which was reported being sold to Greek buyers for a price of $6.5m.
In the Handymax sector we had the sale of the “PACIFIC MERCURY” (49,016dwt-blt 96, Japan), which was sold to Chinese buyers for a price in the region of $4.8m.

Things in the demolition market have taken another turn for the worse last week with prices across the board dropping below the already discounted levels of late and fears for a further softening in the following days washing over the market. In China, where the local stock market is in heavy turmoil, demo prices practically collapsed last week, moving down more than 10% on the back of Chinese steel prices touching their lowest levels in over 20 years as local demand for the commodity keeps waning. Steel prices in the Indian subcontinent market are also still under pressure, with the monsoon period keep adding to the negative sentiment of the past weeks, while despite the soft market, activity managed to sustain its volumes last week, fact indicative of certain owners’ will to dispose of vintage tonnage even at those low pric-es, while dry bulk units still had the lion’s share among those vessels that headed for scrap last week. Prices this week for wet tonnage were at around 200-370 $/ldt and dry units received about 180-350 $/ldt.
The highest prices amongst recently reported deals, was that paid by India breakers for the gas tanker “SYN MARKAB” (4,444dwt-2,590ldt-blt 92), which received $485/ldt as it included 523 tons of nickel.

“Hoping for the best...
Greek voters’ decision on Sunday to back their gov-ernment in its collision with the EU and the IMF has sharpened concerns in the local shipping industry. Preparations and contingency plans to leave the country in case of total financial collapse or a tax onslaught are understood to be gathering steam.
“We’re with one foot in the third-world already,” a shipping executive told TradeWinds after a referen-dum in which more than 61% of Greeks rejected aus-terity measures demanded by the country’s interna-tional lenders. “Plan B is already in place. Many com-panies, not just small ones, can install a server and run their ships from any other country at the click of a mouse,” a second source said.
The Cyprus Shipping Chamber (CSC) already said last week that Greeks were in search of information about how the shipping system works there. But TradeWinds understands that preparations have moved well beyond that stage, with some companies having already obtained licences to start operating out of the Mediterranean island in an emergency. “We’re talking about big companies, not just small ones,” the second source said. CSC officials were not available for comment.
Other destinations discussed are London and, to a smaller extent, Switzerland and Dubai. Most players are still in wait-and-see mode but a few are said to have already decided to move: "I know for a fact that some shipping executives have enrolled their children in London schools from September," a third source said…” (Harry Papachristou, Trade Winds)
