LY MARKET REPORT January 9th, 2015 / Week 01 WISHING YOU A HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2015. Like the previous week, all of the indices were in the red throughout this week. The BCI suffered another heavy loss shedding nearly 32% to finish at 311. The BPI lost nearly 8% but what was different this week was that the BSI and BHSI suffered larger losses than what was expected, namely 9.5 and 8.6% respectively. Overall the BDI fell to just over 700 points losing 8% for the week. Activity in the secondhand market is definitely more active in the tanker sector where we report a good number of sales. Most notably the VLCC "YANGTZE FRIENDSHIP" (310,444 dwt / blt 2008 Japan) was sold for US$ 61.8 mill to Hong Kong buyers. The older Greek controlled VLCC "PATRIS" (298,500 dwt / blt 2000 Korea) achieved the very good price level of US$ 40 mill which was paid by Modec (probably on the back of a conversion project). Teekay purchased 5 Chinese built aframaxes built in Hudong between 2010 and 2011 for a total of US$ 230 mill. Scorpio sold their 2 sistership LR-1s "STI HERITAGE" / "STI HARMONY" (74,000 dwt / blt 2008/2007 Japan) for US$ 61.3 mill enbloc. In the dry sector, Greeks have purchased a kamsarmax resale from Scorpio delivering Tsuneishi Zhoushan during April 2015 for US$ 30.7 mill. The capesize "NORDTRAMP" (171,199 dwt / blt 2001 Japan) was committed for US$ 17 mill whilst the supramax "VERDI" (58,758 dwt / blt 2007 Tsuneshi Zhoushan) achieved US$ 15.5 mill to Greeks. We also report the handysizes "DIAMOND OCEAN" (31,931 dwt / blt 2007 Japan) sold for US$ 11.6 mill to European buyers and the "VENTURE BULKER" (29,870 dwt / blt 2004 Japan) sold for a mere US$ 8.4 mill to Greeks. Newbuilding activity during the past two weeks or so was centered on the LNG sector where the Angelicoussis group converted two VLCC berths into 2 x 173,400 m3 LNGs as well as adding two more orders, all for delivery 2017-2018 in Daewoo Korea. Yamal Trade also ordered 5 x 172,400 m3 Arc7 type ice classed LNGs at the same yard for delivery 2019. One more VLCC was ordered by China Merchants Group in Dalian for delivery 2017. We also note that Frontline 2012 exercised 2 x 111,000 dwt LR-2s in New Times. In the container sector we also took note that Quantrum Scorpio Box exercised its options for 3 x 19,200 TEU containers at Samsung Korea. WeberSeas, Weekly Market Report Page 1 of 9
