WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
April 23rd, 2010 / Week 16
The BDI remained practically unchanged being pushed upwards by the BCI and at the same time being dragged downwards by the BPI. The capesize market is showing signs of improvement and although there is still very little or no period activity the spot rates are about 8% higher this week, being shade below US$ 25,000 per day.
On the dry side, apart from one 2000 built handy all of our reported sales are for Vessels older than 10 years old, and a few of them around the 25 year old mark. As values for the more modern tonnage are increasing there are fewer owners willing to pay up. They either look for older tonnage or take a wait-and-see attitude.
On the tanker side.................

Hvis de europæiske økonomier kommer ud af recessionen, og den kinesiske import endnu en gang viser en overraskende stor stigning, og - så kan 2010 gå hen og blive et ganske godt år på tørlastmakedet. Det vurderer Klaus Nyborg ifølge Lloyd's List.
Danske Nyborg er topchef i det store tørlastrederi Pacific Basin Shipping*** med base i Hongkong.
I et interview med avisen peger Nyborg på den fortsat stærke vækst i Asien, og at det er et spørgsmål om tid, før de vestlige økonomier vender tilbage.
Ifølge Nyborg har tilgangen af nye tørlastskibe i første kvartal været 50 procent mindre end forventet.
"Bjerget af nybyggede skibe vil måske ikke være så svært at bestige, når det kommer til stykket," siger Klaus Nyborg til Lloyd's.

In what could be seen as an overly optimistic view, yet fully justified based on his arguments, Mr. George Grigoriadis, head of Finance & Research department at shipbroker G.Moundreas, said that the rapidly increasing coal and iron ore trade is bound to absorb any excess tonnage capacity, thus limiting fears of a looming oversupply of vessels.
In an interview with Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide, he pointed out that newbuilding delayed deliveries and order cancellations should limit this year?s new additions to the global fleet at 900 vessels the most.
Together with new factors favoring an increase of global coal trade, like China?s imports of higher quality coal, the dry bulk market is set for a year of stability, which could even turn into a positive surprise, should demolition activity pick up any time soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Spørgsmål til Mr. George Grigoriadis
1)
The freight market has been steady at around the 3,000 mark for some time now, although we?ve been seeing China?s commodity trade booming. Why is that?
2)
How do you see future dry bulk tonnage supply shaping up in the future, with regards to demand?
3)
Where do you see the BDI in the coming months?
4)
How is scrapping of older vessels shaping up for far this year?
5)
Do you think that the recent increases of India?s iron ore export tax will have a negative impact in freight rates?
6)
Is the scenario of a new huge market for ship owners in India and its coal needs materializing?
7)
Ship owners have been investing heavily both in second hand and newbuildings? Is this justified?
8)
Do you see ship prices heading up again as a result of this renewed demand?

KORT NYT: Endnu et tegn på at krisen er ved at være overstået. Denne gang fra Mellemamerika, hvor Panama har besluttet at hæve prisen for gennemsejling af kanalen med 6 - 7 procent. Det skriver Lloyds List.
En talsmand for kanalen bekræfter overfor avisen, at repræsentanter for Kanalen har været på rundrejse i Europa og Asien, for at informere de store rederier og andre maritime aktører om de forestående prisforhøjelser.
