1 Week 7 Tuesday 17th February 29 Weekly Market Report Sale & Purchase Newbuilding Secondhand Demolition Chartering World Economy News President Barack Obama today signs into law one of the largest pieces of legislation in U.S. history, a $787 billion behemoth that combines massive tax breaks and government spending designed to resuscitate the moribund U.S. economy. The size of the new law and its speed moving through Congress -- it was approved within weeks of Obama s inauguration -- place it among the most significant legislative accomplishments since President Franklin Roosevelt overhauled the U.S. government in his first 1 days, historians and political analysts say. The package contains roughly $3 billion in tax breaks for individuals and businesses, more than $25 billion in direct aid to distressed states and individuals, and almost $2 billion to modernize and improve the nation s infrastructure. Obama, who will sign the legislation in Denver, the city where he accepted his party s nomination in August, said it will save or create about 3.5 million jobs. (Bloomberg) Energy & Commodities Oil prices slid and base metals retreated on Monday as concerns about the outlook for the global economy were underlined by a bigger-than-expected downturn in Japanese economic activity in the fourth quarter. ICE April Brent lost 71 cents at $44.1 a barrel while Nymex March West Texas Intermediate dipped 46 cents to $37.5 a barrel. Noting that crude oil stocks in the developed world have reached record highs for this time of the year, analysts at Goldman Sachs said additional supply cuts were needed to rebalance the market. Goldman said that in the absence of further supply reductions, the surplus in the crude market would transmit into product markets (petrol and heating oil) as improved profit margins for refineries would encourage product stocks to increase. The International Energy Agency warned that the global oil market could face another serious supply crunch from 21 as oil producers have delayed investment projects due to the current weak state of demand. Also warned that the collapse in oil prices and global economic recession were slowing investment in alternative energy sources such as renewable and nuclear. (Financial Times) Shipping News Singapore s Neptune Orient Lines on Tuesday became the first container shipping company to forecast full-year losses for 29 after it revealed fourth-quarter container volumes were 14 per cent below those for 27. The company, whose APL shipping line operates the world s seventh largest container ship fleet, said it expected the full year to reflect those in the last three months of 28. (Financial Times) Containerships continue to flood into layup with nearly 4 box vessels now idle, new figures show. The data has sparked fears overcapacity will blight the sector for up to five years. AXS-Liner says 392 containerships, with a capacity of 1.1 million teu, are now idle. This is a sharp rise from 33 vessels, or 8, teu only two weeks ago. AXS says the figure, equal to 8.8% of total capacity, is the highest on recorded, way above the 3.2% seen in March 22 and the 5% reached in 1986 when the whole fleet of US Lines was frozen. (Tradewinds) Chartering (Wet: Stable / Dry: Stronger) For the past week, on the Dry market, the BDI was on Friday (13/2/29) 1,98, +266 points up from end of previous week s levels.

The Newbuilding market remains almost standstill, with demand lowering to zero levels and prices softening. The newbuilding expansion noticed in the last couple of years has resulted into a large orderbook and full yards. The problem of oversupply and the global economic crisis is pushing owners away of newbuilding projects. This week two newbuilding orders were reported: -Atlantska Plovidba switched 1 Capesize order to 2 Chemical tankers of 5,4dwt each from STX with delivery 4q211, for an undisclosed price and unknown if there is any extra cost involved. -Volga Shipping ordered 1MPP vessels of 5,dwt each from Qingdao Hyundai SY with delivery 21/211 for 12$m each.

6 Demolition Market The demolition market continues to attract shipowners. Demand remains more or less stable and supply grows. Prices continue to fluctuate, even though market fundamentals and sentiment remain steady. The only negative factor for the past week was the softening in steel prices.

Although they present very picky and focus their demand on tankers and large dry units. This week Bangladeshi breakers have acquired the tanker Retalink III (4,999dwt-2,19ldt-built 1979) for 258$/ldt.
