TELEPHONE: ONE EXECUTIVE DRIVE TELEFAX: 201-585-9999 FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY 07024 201-585-9998 ships@compassmar.com WEEKLY MARKET REPORT June 29th, 2007 / Week 26 In the last two weeks dry cargo freight rates rose each day (with BCI leading the way by an impressive 36% rise) to keep the summer doldrums away and we wonder what the autumn rates will look like! In the second hand market the M/V "STAMOS" 63,865 dwt / 1985 blt has apparently achieved a price of USD 26.3 million being a new high for a Panamax of this age. The newbuilding market also continues to firm and prices rose again this week. Bulkers and large container vessels are leading the way, but orders are also being placed for product tankers and others. The biggest newbuilding news this week was the removal of the 17% tax rebate on exported steel structures by the Chinese government. This will raise the cost of steel blocks built in China for Japanese and Korean yards. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) may have ordered as many as 16 x 10,000 and 12,000 TEU newbuilding container vessels totalling some $2.2 bill. Our commentary repetitively states that there are a huge number of buyers for ships in all shapes, sizes and colors and this is evident by the ever growing volume of purchase enquiries received each day.
