THE VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
Full report can be viewed on the Market Reports tab at the following link: www.compassmar.com
The BDI closed at 608 today which is its lowest level in 28 years. The BDI was last at this level on August 21st
1986 after rebounding from an all-time low of 554 on August 6th 1986. This week a positioning voyage was fixed
at ZERO dollars per day! The Kamsarmax M/V "STAR ANGELINA" (82,981 DWT/Built 2006 at Tsuneishi in
Japan) reportedly fixed basis a delivery Sual, Philippines with January 28/31 dates, then a trip via EC Australia
redelivery Brazil at $0.00 for the first 60 days, thereafter $2,000/day. This type of charter has been rarely used
since the down market of the mid-1980’s.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reported this week that Chinese shipyards had a 14.2%
drop in newbuilding orders for 2014. However, the total Chinese orderbook still has 148.9 mill. DWT to be
delivered.
Investors are keen on the tanker space and stepped up big-time to buy shares at the Euronav (symbol: EURN) IPO
on the New York Stock Exchange this week. Euronav has a fleet of 52 vessels made up of 26 VLCCs, 23
Suezmax tankers, and two FSO's. The offering raised close to $230 mill. and reportedly was oversubscribed by 3
to 1 and the underwriters exercised their over-allotment options in full. It will be interesting to see how many of
the private equity investors such as Diamond S (Wilbur Ross, First Reserve Corp, and others), Ridgebury Tankers
(Riverstone Holdings), Principal Maritime (Apollo Group), GENMAR (Oaktree Capital Management), etc. bring
their tanker fleets to the IPO market in 2015.
Have a good weekend.
