WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
November 28th, 2014 / Week 48
The view in the capesize freight market is rather pessimistic as the index had a fall this week of nearly 29%,
down by 887 points, accounting for the BDI’s 13% fall. The rest of the segments improved this week with
BPI increasing 6%, the BSI just below 5% and the BHSI above 6%.
The most interesting deal of the week is the en bloc sale of the 4 x 50,000 MR tankers ex-Sungdong to
Maersk Tankers. The vessels all give delivery in 2015 and the price is $34.75 million each. In the same
tonnage, even though rumor has it that the “HIGH NEFELI” (46,135 dwt / blt 2003 Korea) was previously
concluded, we understand that this commitment failed and she is finally sold to Ancora for $15 million. We
also report a pair of Turkish-built chemical tankers that were sold for $19 million en bloc.
In the dry market, the activity picked up from last week. The capesize action was focused in the “WAH
SHAN” (175,980 dwt / blt 2003 CSBC) which committed for $21 million and the “GLOBAL WINNER”
(161,121 dwt / blt 1997 Korea) which achieved $11.4 million. Even though we heard that Greeks might be
the potential buyers, we understand that the vessel has gone to Indian interests. Two kamsarmax resales built
in Tsuneishi Zhoushan have attracted some interest, as they have received an offer for $31 million/each. We
will revert the following week with updated information. Going on in the resale segment, a pair of ultramaxes
with delivery in 2015- ex Zhejiang, have changed hands for $54 million in total. Two sales in the modern
tonnage, a 2012 built supramax has been committed somewhere between $24.5-$25.5 million and a 2011
built handysize was concluded at region $18 million to Greek buyers.
In the newbuilding market, Reederei Vogemann added an order for 4+4 x 208,000 dwt bulkers in Yangzijiang
Shipbuilding for delivery in 2016/2017. The German owner is assumed to pay $56 million per vessel. JMU
has been booked for the construction of 2 x 320,000 dwt VLCC on behalf of Fredriksen Group for a price of
$96.5 million each and 2 x 80,800 dwt kamsarmaxes for the account of Wisdom Marine at $35 million per
ship. JMU is scheduled to deliver the tankers in 2017 and the bulk carriers approximately a year before.
Even though prices has seen a drop in the demolition market, we expect demand in India to pick up a little bit.
Recycling activity was more centered in Bangladesh with a pair of panamaxes sold together with a handymax
“as is Taiwan”.
