Despite the relatively positive performance of the Capes last week, there are many in

the market that are voicing serious worries regarding the prospects of these large dry

bulk carriers within the first 2 quarters of 2015, while things are not looking much bet-

ter for 2015 as a whole. With the steel industry being considerably shaken up after the

softer results witnessed out of China throughout the year, the market has found itself

once again plagued by overcapacity in terms of vessels and excess supply of steel prod-

ucts, possibly marking a further slowdown in steel production growth. Having now en-

tered the final month of 2014 and with rates in the final quarter of the year having

grossly disappointed the expectations that had accrued from the more promising final

quarter of 2013, the market has now been left in shatters in terms of market sentiment,

while the headache of the excessive order book continues to loom in the horizon.

Yet amongst all this scare mongering, there are many that see small glimpses of hope

and herald that a more optimistic scenario may well be looming. Iron ore trade and in

particular seaborne trade, has been mainly driven by Chinese demand for almost a dec-

ade now and while demand for steel production may well be faltering, it doesn’t not

look like we will see an outright reduction in demand for this vital commodity. At the

same time, with prices of the ore having dropped to consecutively record 5 year lows

over the past months, it has been Chinese internal iron ore production that has been

most at threat. Both Australia and Brazil have considerably lower breakeven levels and

can sustain their production at price levels considerably lower than their Chinese coun-

terparts. This means that as the price drops further it will likely be seaborne imports

that will have most to gain boosting their demand and as such their volumes. Further-

more the considerable iron ore inventories that have amassed in most major Chinese

ports are likely to be consumed fairly quickly by the ramped up Chinese steel produc-

tion and at the same time the average levels of port inventories will have to be raised in

order to better secure against any disruptions in production as they will be more reliant

on imports moving forward.

So maybe there is not that much to fear in the market moving forward? or is there?

There may well be an increasing rise for iron ore imports, however Australia has cham-

pioned as main supplier to China for many years and as things are looking now, they

have been gaining further ground during 2014, moving from a 51% market share in

2013 up to roughly a 58% market share now. This means that as their mines ramp up

production and gain ground in the market they will likely eat up some of the further

away competition as well, countering some of the positive effects of the higher reliance

of China on imports, as Aussie ore also takes up volume from longer haul sources as

well.

So where will we find ourselves in 2015? As things stand now it looks as a reasonable

scenario for Chinese iron ore imports to rise by around 10-15% on a year-on-year ba-

sis, while to put this number in perspective the respective number for 2014 looks close

to around 16%. Having said that, this rise in imports is possibly going to translate into a

more marginal 5% demand growth and even this figure seems to be optimistic. At the

same time the schedule of newbuilding deliveries is quite well packed with over 139

vessels currently set to hit the water within 2015, while the lower bunker prices might

add another headache as fuel consumption becomes less of an issue and many charter-

ers start to push for higher speeds and in turn further increase the total annual carrying

capacity of the Capesize fleet .

2013 2014

November 24th - 28th 2014

Capesize - A punishing week for Capes as the tumble in freight rates continues and

each fixture looking to be softer then its respective previous. There seems to be

little activity out there and interest amongst charterers is looking to be fairly low.

The Atlantic basin was the one to see the most dramatic drops as there was little

activity reported out of S. America, while position lists in the basin seemed heavy.

The Pacific was slower to see corrections on last done, however here too things

were dropping and tonnage availability ex-Australia started to mount.

Panamax - With position lists fairly tight for the first half of December, Tha Atlantic

basin was quick to show firmer numbers this week, with keen interest from both

the US Gulf and NW Europe. Things in the Pacific did not look so rosy as cautioned

remained for most charterers who preferred to wait it out, rather than rush in to

book their requirements. This slower flow of inquiries pushed for further correc-

tions on most routes in the region, though owners seemed to be holding their

ground gaining confidence from the bullish Atlantic basin.

Supramax - Despite a small improvement on a week-on-week basis things moved

fairly slow this week in both basins. Things seemed to heat up slightly towards the

end of the week, with promise of more activity to emerge from ECSA over.

Handysize - A fair influx of fresh inquiries and some clearing of excess tonnage that

had amassed, helped owners push for better levels. The Pacific seems to be the

main driver at the moment, however there could be a slight spill over effect to be

seen over the coming days.

Crude Oil Carriers - It was the Vls this week to show a more bullish face, as demand

in the Atlantic started to heat up taking out most of the promptly available tonnage

in the market and boosting sentiment amongst owners who seemingly pushed for

serious rates hikes as things progressed during the week. Things were not as firm in

the Suez and Afra markets, where notable corrections were seen in most trades as

the previous week’s momentum started to slowly lose steam during the week. Nev-

ertheless rates are still holding at fairly good levels and with demand spiking for

VLs, there has been further improvement in overall sentiment.

Oil Products - Mixed messages this week for the products markets, with both clean

and dirty products showing both disappointment and signs of improvement. On the

side of the DPP routes there was a slight improvement in the Far East, while lower

bunker prices was the only thing helping push for more positive figures in the West.

CPP routes were doing much better as demand started to spike from the U.S. .

Reported Transactions

Another week of minimal activity in the traditionally more active mar-

ket segments of the Dry Bulk and Tanker markets. With such uncer-

tainty being rife in the market, owners are still taking a more cautious

approach to the prospect of placing new orders. On the other hand,

the recent drop in steel prices could soon start to put a downward

push on prices offered by shipbuilders, while with the slowdown in

activity noted these past couple of months they will likely use any

drop in price as a strong marketing point to entice further interest

amongst potential buyers. The only thing that will likely continue to

hold things back in terms of lowering prices is likely to be any risk

exposure of higher steel prices come day of procurement for the

booked contract by the shipbuilder.

For now interest is mainly holding strong for some of the more exotic

ship types such as offshore vessels, while the Gas market continues to

hold interest amongst many new investors both from within the in-

dustry as well as from outside.

November 24th - 28th 2014

Last week in the Dry Bulk segment there were reports that the

Capesize “PACIFIC TRIANGLE” (185k, 2000, S. Korea) was commit-

ted in the region of US$ 17.0m by Turkish buyers Besiktas. At the

same time the 3 years younger “WAN SHAN” (176k, 2003, Chinese

Taipei) was picked up by undisclosed buyers for a price of US$ 21.0m.

In the tanker sector we had the sale of the “DL BELLFLOWER” (100k,

2003, China) which was sold to Chinese buyers ZPMC for US$ 18.5m

with intention to convert it to a gantry crane transporter.

Further to our previous week report the two Zhejiang resales were

the Zhejiang ZJB-402 and Zhejiang ZJB-403 both with delivery with-

in 2015 and not the Zhejiang ZJB-401 as was reported.

With sentiment still remaining at the “bottom of the bucket” offered

prices were still dropping in the Indian Sub-Continent. The large

availability of cheep steel is likely to hold as the market ceiling for

now, leading little no speculation for an imminent improvement and

limited appetite for deals from both the side of the sellers as well as

from cash buyers which seem to fear of further price drops in sight.

The reality is that the availability of demo candidates that has been

witnessed during the past months is likely to be an extra factor for

further drop in scrap prices and while the freight markets have yet to

show signs of recovery scrapping older tonnage will always seem like

a promising option.

In terms of rumored deals , the General Cargo ship “Bright Fu-

ture”( 6,025dwt, 1,976ldt, built Japan ‘76) received a fairly competi-

tive price of USD 395/ldt with destination Bangladesh.

Earnings before taxes at the nine month stage have tripled at NordLB

to €364m ($454m), up from €108m last time round, even though ship-

ping clearly remains a headache at the prominent German ship lender.

Losses in its shipping and aviation segment rose 24% to €182m, and

given that aviation was profitable, the combined figure masks the ex-

tent of the bank's problem.

Nor does relief seem immediately likely, as a negative comments

about the shipping industry in the interim report make perfectly plain.

Hanover-based NordLB allowed €474m in shipping and aircraft loan

loss provisions for the period. Its non-performing loan ratio rose

slightly to 3.9% at the end of September, from 3.7% at the end of

2013. Source: Lloyds List
