1 Week 15&16 Tuesday 21st April 29 Weekly Market Report Sale & Purchase Newbuilding Secondhand Demolition Chartering World Economy News Worldwide losses tied to rotten loans and securitized assets may reach $4.1 trillion by the end of 21 as the recession and credit crisis exact a higher toll on financial institutions, the International Monetary Fund said. Banks will shoulder about 61% of the writedowns, with insurers, pension funds and other nonbanks assuming the rest, the Washington-based lender said in a report released today on the state of the global financial system. The fund projected losses of $2.7 trillion at U.S. financial institutions, an increase from its estimates of $2.2 trillion in January and $1.4 trillion in October. Without fiscal stimulus and other government action, banks will probably curtail lending in coming months, worsening the most severe global slump in six decades, the IMF said. Even with forceful state policies, the deleveraging process will be slow and painful, the fund said. Stabilizing the financial system remains a key priority and, although progress is being made, further policy efforts will be required, the fund said in its report. Without a thorough cleansing of banks balance sheets of impaired assets, accompanied by restructuring and, where needed, recapitalization, risks remain that banks problems will continue to exert downward pressure on economic activity. (Bloomberg) Energy & Commodities Base metals fell on Tuesday, extending their recent correction, while oil dropped by more than $1 a barrel after a sharp fall in the previous session but gold rose amid renewed uncertainty about the health of the banking sector. The International Monetary Fund warned that the global financial sector faced total losses of $4,1bn as a result of the credit crisis and urged governments to take bolder steps to shore up institutions, including bank nationalisations where necessary. Risk appetite weakened after the IMF s warning which had an impact across the entire commodities spectrum. Among the base metals, copper dropped 3.5% to $4,415 a tonne while aluminium eased.6% at $1,433 a tonne and nickel lost 4.4% to $11,498 a tonne, lead fell 2.5% to $1,425 a tonne, zinc slipped 2.8% to $1,435 a tonne and tin traded 1.2% lower at $11,9 a tonne. In energy markets, crude oil prices resumed their retreat after sharp falls in Monday s session which were prompted by concerns about elevated stock levels in the US and the impact of the global economic recession on demand. ICE June Brent lost $1.3 at $48.83 a barrel. Nymex May West Texas Intermediate, which expires at the close on Tuesday, sank to $44.55 a barrel. The June WTI contract, the benchmark from tomorrow, dropped $1.11 to $47.4 a barrel.

The challenging chartering environment as well as the overall shipping, economic and financial fundamentals are placing both sellers and buyers in a wait and see mode.

7 Demolition Market The demolition market continues to weaken, with prices falling to even lower levels. The oversupply of tonnage gives buyers an advantage in negotiations. On the other hand, the available capacity at yards is at record low levels and there are more ships chasing very few open yards. Overall, it is safe to assume that it is a buyers market at the moment. For the last couple of weeks, Bangladesh has faced the most dramatic fall in prices, offering now around 29$/ldt for wet and 24$/ldt for dry tonnage. The only sale reported this week in Bangladesh was the aframax tanker Kourion (87,219dwt-14,389ldt-built 1985), which fetched 3$/ ldt. Should the sale of ships in to Bangladesh remain limited, we can expect some improvement in demand and prices in early May. Wet Dry Indicative Demolition Prices ($/ldt) Markets Week Week ±% Bangladesh % India % Pakistan % China % Bangladesh % India % Pakistan % China % India continues to dominated in terms of sale volumes, winning the majority of demo tonnage coming into the market. However, the overwhelming supply of tonnage and lack of competition from neighboring countries meant that local recyclers have little incentive to compete for tonnage and offer higher prices. This week Indian breakers have acquired the handysize bulker Blue Master (28,876dwt-9,88ldt-built 1971) for 265$/ldt, the mini bulk Crystal Ace (1,538dwt-8,112ldt-built 1983) for 237$/ldt, the Roro Rio Enco (7,246dwt-7,374ldt-built 1978) for $/ldt and the Roro Morning Sonata (7,45dwt-6,352ldt-built 1984) for 22$/ldt. After several weeks of offering rather firm demolition prices, this week Pakistani ship breakers have made a price adjustment seeing their demo prices down to about 28$/ldt for wet and 24$/ldt for dry tonnage. This week, Pakistani breakers have bought the handysize bulker Dorset (23,22dwt-5,528ldt-built 1978) for 275$/ldt and the mini bulk Ormiston (16,62dwt-7,125ldt-built 1979) for 261$/ldt. China seems to be the only market this week that actually showed prices improvements, offering now around 21$/ldt for wet and 18$/ldt for dry tonnage.
