1 WEEKLY MARKET REPORT November 12th, 2010 / Week 45 Another week in the red with the capesize market dragging the BDI to the 2,300 point mark. The BDI lost over 7% whilst the capesize was down almost 10%. The panamax segment was the only sector that managed to end the week positively gaining 2.65% but early gains between Monday and Wednesday were eroded by the end of the week. Despite the market's negativeness, activity remains relatively high with a good number of purchase enquiries for bulkers of all sizes and ages. There are a large number of Far Eastern buyers looking for mid 80's built handymax bulkers however, these buyers are tracking the market downwards and they are not willing to pay the asking prices. Therefore, there is a large number of these ships in the market and they are not getting sold and thus the prices are coming under pressure. On the more modern tonnage (mid/late 90's onwards) prices seem to be holding for the time being. Notable sales reported are the sale of the MEDI CORK (53,5 Dwt / blt 2004 Japan) sold to Vietnamese buyers for US$ 33.8 million and a capesize re-sale (180,000 dwt / delivery December 2010 Daehan Korea) sold to Greeks for US$ 63.5 million. Activity in the tanker market is very limited as the freight market is very negative and there are few buyers willing to move. Prices are under pressure and only the serious sellers are able to find buyers. A prime example is the sale of the product tankers MOUNT OLYMPUS and MOUNT MCKINNEY (both about 40,000 dwt and built 2003/2004 respectively in Japan) at US$ 24.5 and 25.0 million each. These are favorable prices for the buyers. We are also reporting a large en bloc deal of US$ 174 million which Stolt Nielsen paid for 4 large stainless steel chemical tankers (two of which Stolt had on charter with purchase options which they exercised. There is little activity in the demolition market however, the sale of two capesize bulkers (blt 1981 and 1989) in China is perhaps a sign of things to come for the elderly capesize bulkers which are struggling to find good employment and have surveys coming up. At least the prices were in excess of US$ 400 per ldt providing a good incentive for the owners to sell. Bangladesh is still inactive and thus Pakistan remains the preferred option for the tankers which are seeing numbers in the high 460's level. WeberSeas, Weekly Market Report Page 1 of 11
