China Petroleum Corp. Set To Ship Its Oil Via Cameroon By End
Of 2012 - Official
The China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) and the Cameroon government have agreed that the Chinese firm will ship its crude from Chad through Cameroon by the end of 2012, a top Cameroonian official involved in the talks told Dow Jones Newswires Monday. "With negotiations near completion, Chadian government authorities have reached an agreement which authorizes the Chinese company to start shipping its crude oil from Chad through the Chad-Cameroon pipeline," said the official, who is member of the Cameroon-based Pipeline Pilot Steering and Monitoring Committee in Yaounde. "This is because CNPC will start production by this year's end and wants to benefit from the existing Chad-Cameroon pipeline," added the source, who preferred speaking on condition of anonymity. Last talks between CNPC and the Cameroon Oil Transport Co., the Tchad Oil Transportation Company (TOTCO), and Exxon Chad were held last November. TOTCO manages the 1,080-kilometer pipeline that runs from southern Chad and terminates at Cameroon's Atlantic coastal town of Kribi. Since its operations began in October 2003, the Chad-Cameroon has been shipping crude produced by American oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) , Chevron Corp. (CVX) and Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd. to date. China's CNPC had begun oil and gas exploration for seven-expectant oil wells in Chad in since 2003. Also, Canada's Griffiths Energy International Inc. is also in talks with Cameroon authorities to ship crude through the same pipeline. Griffiths Energy won three permits in 2011 to explore and develop oil in southern Chad, the official had told Dow Jones Newswires last month. As it is still in the exploration stage it is unclear how much crude Griffiths would be seeking to ship through the pipeline, the official had said. Some 37 million barrels of Chadian crude were shipped through the pipeline in 2011, around the same amount as were shipped in 2010. Potential alternative routes for Chad crude include north to Libya, or south to Republic of Congo through Central African Republic, although no infrastructure exists on either of these routes.

Ukrainian Grain Exports Decline 4.9%, Researcher ProAgro Says
Ukrainian grain exports fell 4.9 percent in this month’s first
nine days, ProAgro said, without giving a reason. Shipments dropped to 336,420 metric tons from 353,770 tons a month earlier, the Kiev-based agricultural researcher said
today by e-mail. Wheat deliveries plunged 55 percent to 40,480 tons, and the grain was exported to Jordan and Spain, ProAgro said. Corn shipments rose 30 percent to 286,890 tons, and the grain was delivered to South Korea, Taiwan and Egypt. Ukraine also
shipped 6,000 tons of barley to Israel. About 1.2 million tons of grains are to be shipped soon, including 768,300 tons of corn, 351,400 tons of wheat and 47,500 tons of barley, ProAgro said, citing preliminary port
figures. (Bloomberg)
Russia Wheat Exports Restricted by Price, SovEcon Says
Russia lost the latest wheat tender in Egypt because it offered the cereal for nearly 12 percent more than the winning bid
from the U.S., SovEcon said on its website. Russia’s price was $292.75 a metric ton, compared with $262 a ton for U.S. wheat on a so-called free-on-board basis with delivery in April, according to the Moscow-based agricultural
researcher. Egypt bought 55,000 tons of wheat from the U.S. in a tender over the weekend, according to Nomani Nomani, vice chairman of the state-run General Authority for Supply
Commodities. Russia’s grain stocks in the south are falling, which raised the cost, Andrei Sizov, SovEcon’s managing director, told Bloomberg in Moscow today. Traders have to buy more affordable grains from other regions further from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, which increases transportation costs, he said. The ruble strengthening also made the export
price less attractive, he said. “It is interesting that there was just one proposal of grain
from Russia in the Egyptian tender last week,” Sizov said. (Bloomberg)

In Brief: The first week after many that ended up with improved rates and some movement in the market while the BDI reached 715.
Capes: Index stopped falling and new cargoes entered the market. Both basins generated slightly more number of orders and the index has stopped falling which infused more optimism to ship owners. The average of the four T/C Routes closed the week at USD 5,227. In the Atlantic the oversupply of tonnage has kept rates flat in spite the fact that cargo volume was increased. The T/A round were at USD 4,500/5,000 and owners were not keen on fixing at such levels. Same applies for the front haul trips where not much happened either due to many open vessels and ballasters while the Tubarao/Qingdao was done at USD 19,40 levels. Pacific started the week promising better rates due to the Australia iron ore majors coming back in play. This positive feeling did not last long as during the course of the week many owners that had kept their vessels idle decided to move at the same time leading the rates to a decreasing upward slope concluding the week at lower levels than anticipated. Moreover, with China having huge iron ore stockpiles and prices having an upward trend cannot expect to have higher rates in the near future. On the period side owners preferred to fix short period at USD 12,500 levels while asking around USD 15,000 for 1 year which hold charterers from fixing. Panamax: ECSA grains pushed rates upwards. In the Atlantic Basin , the first signs of recovery were obvious last week. The T/A rounds closed close to 7000 or bit less than that depending on size , age etc. The Fronthaul rates closed at about 16,500-17,000. ECSA grains pushed rates upwards as we learnt several vessels being fixed at usd 10-11000 basis dely Singapore. For same trips vessels fixed bss dely Cape of Good Hope got mid teens plus about 400,000 balast bonus. In the Pacific Basin a few fresh Indonesian requirements and some others from Aussie in combination with the booming ECSA market improved considerably the rates. The NOPAC/AUSSIE remain aps markets but the rates are far better than last week. The Index type vessels got rates between 8000 and 9000. Best fixture we know concluded during week 5 was at usd 6,500 dop CJK. The period rated following the general trend increased also at usd 11500 for 1 year.
Supramax: Lowest levels ever in the Atlantic whereas in the Pacific Market firming up
In the Atlantic Basin we saw vessels being fixed at even lower levels than during Chinese Holidays. Vessels being fixed for bunkers only now have to pay a bonus to charterers for repositioning in better loading areas. At the end of the week we saw one vessel fixed at 3k passing canakkale for trip to USG. The rates fm USG back to Med and Continent were about 10000 aps. In the Pacific the Indonesian Coal and Nickel Ore market is impressively improved. The rates for Tess 57 type were around 9000 aps plus 100000-200000 balast bonus depending on the position, etc. We also learned some rumours for 50k dwt vessel which got 5 k dop North China for trip to Med. Vessels fixed backhaul trips to USG at USD 2000 aps South China which rates are far better when the same vessels were fixed for bunkers only. Handysize: Market did not improve in spite the increase of the BDI Atlantic was poor in orders for one more week and the TA round kept its downward trend ending up at USD 5,000. For one more week owners avoided the front haul trip as the imminent grain season at ECSA has gathered even more vessels in Atlantic. Far East and India were slow in cargoes combined with oversupply of tonnage, thus many owners preferred to stay idle instead of fixing on below their operational costs. Period rates were better than the previous week at USD 9,000 levels.

VLCC: Despite the coverage of the majority of cargoes in the Middle East, the market remains weak due to the oversupply of
tonnages aiming to cover 4 remainder shipments. This week the majority of fresh cargoes were destined to the far east with
only 6 of them heading to the west. As a result there was a further relaxation in rates for the west concluding at WS 32.
Situation was same for those aimed to the east with rates easing to WS 48,4. In the Atlantic trade focus was for the eastbound
market. Only one unit crossed the Atlantic at WS 60 whilst most units ex USG are aimed for the east. Ballast units from the MEG
were preferred for eastbound cargoes due to the negative activity in the former.
Suezmax: On the Suezmax front there was some positive activity as a result of fresh inquiry. The index increased by 2,5 points to
WS 80 - a level which remained throughout the week. This came as a result of oversupply of tonnage where charterers received
multiple offers on cargoes.
Aframax: There was a positive trend in the Aframax sector for the CBS – USG route. By the end of the week the majority of
cargoes have been fixed with rates rising to WS 135.
Products: The ballasting of Panamax units to Europe provided a better position for the remaining tonnages in the CBS – USG
route, which in connection with fresh cargoes and higher bunker prices, pushed rates upwards WS 140. In the MR sector activity
was quite numb particularly for tonnages in the CBS – USAC route and USG – TA. Nevertheless, there were some fixtures from
USG which were destined for various discharge points. In the European market, situation was not as steady due to the arrival of
ex USAC tonnages which absorbed most cargoes. As a result the market eased off at WS 150.

“Wait and See” strategy
Activity reversed this week with the BDI having a positive trend while the SNP market followed a rather negative route.
Few sales were reported across sectors whilst in some cases there was some price elasticity.
In shiptrades enquiry index there was a firm interest for bulkers most notable Handysize and Handymaxes. In the tanker
sector the situation was not promising, nevertheless MRs were once again in the spotlight
Handymax M/V “Magic Fortis” (42,512 DWT built in 1985 in Mitsui, JPN) is reported sold to undisclosed buyers for USD 4,2
Mill.
Lavinia is reported to have purchased Korean handysize resale M/V “Poseidon” (34,000 DWT built in 2011 in 21st Century,
KRS) for USD 22 Mill. Same owners were the original contractors of the vessel.
In the tanker sector the most notable reported sale has been that of M/T “Selendang Permata” (45,123 DWT built in 1997
in Dalian, CHN) for USD 8.5 Mill. The vessel was reported sold for USD 7,5 Mill in late 2011. This sale shows a further
softening in asset values, particularly in a size where price fluctuations were less vigorous.
NEWBUILDNGS
In the newbuilding market, we have seen 8 vessels reported to have been contracted.
7 Tankers (MR, Aframax, VLCC)
1 Container (4.800 TEU)
DEMOLITION
The Subcontinent in general showed a decrease of about USD 15-25 / LT this week. In Bangaldesh only a few buyers were
able to offer and finance deals. India also offered decreased levels. Pakistan for the first time this year had the lower levels
in the general geographical area. China followed the general sentiment with some buyers offering sometimes less than
USD 400 / LT.
