Why crude tanker rates will stay low, negative for tanker stocks

The single most important indicator that affects tanker companies’ top line revenue is shipping rates, which influence profitability margins, earnings, and share prices. So traders and analysts often look at shipping rates. Shipping rates generally fall because of looser supply and demand dynamics. On the other hand, shippers can achieve higher shipping rates through tighter supply. Rates are back down again following a short-term rise On September 13, the Baltic Dirty Tanker Index stood at 583, down from 593 on September 6. The Baltic Dirty Tanker Index reflects the shipping rate for moving crude oil (unrefined oil) across the ocean based on representative routes and ship class in the spot market using time charter equivalent rates. Overall, the tanker index has remained in a downtrend since late 2009, making new lows on every bounce and trough. The index was climbing higher in July because of rising oil prices, which were driven by higher demand for oil in the United States, unrest in the Middle East, and increased shipments to China. Fewer new ship deliveries also helped. In August, the relationship between oil and shipping rates broke down, as the commodity was pushed higher because of Syria woe and supply disruptions in Libya, which don’t exactly help with oil shipments from the Middle East. Global shipments likely fell last week, given that weekly capacity growth was negative. A simple comment on data patterns Although I don’t usually comment on patterns, it’s worth mentioning here. The lower bound represents the rates the industry is trying to support. As rates come down, some companies go bankrupt while others retire old ships that are typically more expensive. So, as time passes, the industry comprises a fleet portfolio that can do business at cheaper rates. The upper bound is the level that companies will try to take advantage of by receiving new ships. When you see shipping rates break out of the current downward trend, it means there aren’t enough new ships to keep rates low anymore. Year-over-year growth remains weakOn a year-over-year basis, the Baltic Dirty Tanker Index appears to be showing some positive movement, rising from negative to positive territory in August. The year-over-year growth has since come down, and it remains to be seen whether it can help itself up from the negative territory. Analysts use year-over-year data to adjust for seasonality. Crude tanker rates will likely stay depressedBased on current trends and data from energy associations, though, non-OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) production is expected to outpace OPEC production in the next few years, which is negative for demand of crude tankers—particularly the VLCCs (very large crude carriers). Shipping companies like Frontline Ltd. (FRO), Ship Finance International Ltd. (SFL), and Nordic American Tanker Ltd. (NAT) will likely have to live with depressed rates for at least the short term—even though they may present a good investment opportunity down the road. Let’s hope rates rise before contracts expire for Navios Maritime Acquisition Corp. (NNA). Lower rates will also negatively affect the Guggenheim Shipping ETF (SEA), but it also invests in product tankers and other shipping companies that are performing better. (Market Realist)

Order Placement for Drill Ships on a Rapid Decline

The global drill ship market is shrinking this year to drag down the profits of major Korean shipbuilders. The order quantity and unit cost are all declining at the same time. According to industry sources, Korean shipbuilders have won nine drill ship contracts since the beginning of this year, which is

approximately one half of last year’s total at 17 and one-third of the volume they recorded in 2011. Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has won four contracts, and Samsung Heavy Industries has obtained five. The problem is that the market prospect is not bright for the rest of this year. Besides, the decrease in the unit cost is putting more and more pressure on the companies. The level of the price remained over US$600 million during the first half of 2013, but has dipped below US$500 million in the latter half. In particular, Samsung Heavy Industries won two drill ship contracts in July from Seadrill Draco at the price of US$1.04 billion, so the price per vessel hit a record low in the history of the local industry. “If the unit cost is around US$500 million, the margin rate is estimated to be about 5%,” said an industry source, adding, “The percentage used to be over 15% in the recent past.” Industry experts are attributing the market contraction to the current change in the pattern of petroleum production. Until recently, oil price increases and undersupply drove up the demand for drill ships, but offshore petroleum production is declining these days, whereas onshore oil production is on the rise. Technological development has increased production capacity per unit of equipment to lower the demand for oil manufacturing machinery as well. Under the circumstances, the drill ship charter fee is on a downward spiral as well. Drill ships are run on a charter basis in most cases. According to the data of Rigzone, a drilling equipment site, the daily charter fee for deep-sea drill ships is at around US$479,000 on average nowadays. It has fallen by over 12% year on year from approximately US$550,000. Furthermore, the stock prices of global drill ship companies and drilling package manufacturers are moving sideways this year. As of last week, the stock prices of Vantage Drilling, ENSCO, and Transocean have fallen by 3.2%, 6.0%, and 3.9% each. Although those of NOV and Noble Drilling have gone up 12.0% and 8.4% compared to the beginning of the year, the rates of increase fall short of that of the Dow Jones Index at 15%. “The drill ship market is closely connected to crude oil production trends, and it cannot be denied that the current environments are far from optimistic,” said a securities analyst, continuing, “It seems that things will not turn better for the time being.” (Business Korea)

World's most 'eco-friendly' cargo ship to use its own hull to sail

Norwegian speed-sailing entrepreneur Terje Lade plans to build a cargo container ship with a difference: the giant hull of his 'Wind Ship' (Vindskip in Norwegian) is designed to channel air similar to how a sail does, in order to fairly drastically cut fuel use and have the big ship sail itself using ocean wind power.Lade has estimated that the Wind Ship would have fuel savings of an estimated 60% and emissions reductions of 80% compared to current cargo ships.The design of the Wind Ship calls for a natural-gas fired engine and a computerized sailing system that constantly calculates wind speed and direction so that the ship can channel wind along its hull - sailing not directly into the wind but rather constantly finding the most efficient 'close-haul' angle - to move forward at around 14 knots. The Wind Ship is also designed to take advantage of the wind created simply by the big boat's forward propulsion. Lade worked in Norway's oil and shipping industries but was a speed-sailing enthusiast before devoting himself to create a greener cargo ship solution. He hopes to partner with companies to build a Wind Ship within the next three to four years.Wind Ship's aerodynamic sailing capabilities have been tested at the UK's Cranfield University wind tunnel. In a documentary on Norwegian TV, Cranfield professor Kevin Knowles said at first he thought Lade and his idea were crazy, but after contemplation and seeing the small-scale model in action, he conceded that the idea has merit.

Increased activity - positive sentiment

Interest for modern bulkers is still there and continuously increasing, however, what is interesting this week is the absence

of any reported sales in the capesize sector, despite the recent rally in relevant rates. The pamanax sector has one

representative in this week?s salesboard, as the 2004 built ?Maritime Anita? changed hands for a price of $16.9 mill. to

Chilean buyers. Increased activity and interesting prices were noticed this week in the Supramax and Handymax sectors, with

6 units reported sold, most of which built in the 2000?s. Of great interest is the sale of the Imabari blt ?Santa Ursula? for

$29.8 mill. to Greek buyers, as well as the firm price the 2007 Nacks built ?Namrun? fetched ($20.3 mill.) Other than that,

the much anticipated sale of the 1997 built 4 ho/ha ?Voge Felix? for a firm price in the low 6?s with delivery in the Far East,

confirmed once more the serious existing interest for such units. In the wet sector, 3 aframaxes were sold this week, namely

the 1998 built ?Hellespont Tatina?, the 2000 built ?Kwk Esteem?, and the 2010 built ?Stavanger Bell?, while MRs are still

drawing attention, this week with the en bloc sale to Italian buyers of 4 2013 and 2014 SPP built units, as well as the one of

the 1995 built ?Eagle Gulf? for $8.5 mill.

Shiptrade’s enquiry index once more last week suffered a decline of about 8%. Incoming enquiry emails may be less but the

interest is still firm for secondhand tonnages. In the dry sector, enquiries for handysize bulkers were reduced about 15%

during the past week, Handymaxes and Supramaxes are still attracting serious interest especially those built post 2000.

Interest for Panamaxes again has showed an increase of about 10%. Furthermore the capsize enquiries were remained

almost stable as per last week with the interest being weak. Buying interest for tankers is following the trend and was slightly

reduced as well. The interest for MRs was stable firm as per previous week, in the Panamax sector, interest continues to be

on the low side. Enquiries for Aframaxes suffered a wide decline of more than 50%. The interest for Suezmaxes is on the low

side with not many buyers on the market at the moment, also same situation for the VLCCs.

NEWBUILDINGS

In the newbuilding market we have seen 32 vessels to have been contracted.

22 Bulk Carriers (Kamsarmax, Ultramax)

5 Tankers (Handysize)

5 LPG

DEMOLITION

Credit still to be given to the appointment of a new RBI governor and the Indian governmental intervention to halt the

collapse of the rupee, as it remains at better levels to the USD compared to recent weeks, although still volatile, bringing

small signs of positive sentiment again. Levels for bulkers seem to be around 370, while containers attract better prices, as

usual. Ship breakers in Pakistan are not keen to buy tonnage at the moment, especially at the levels offered by cash buyers.

In Bangladesh, prices remained stable, with some cash buyers paying better levels in order to compete with India and China,

while the latter seems to remain in the demolition market?s driving position, with local yards getting close to reaching full

capacity due to the recent buying spree in the area.
