MARKET REPORT WEEK 37 BASED ON SALES AND PURCHASES OF VESSELS WEEK ENDED FRIDAY 12 TH SEPTEMBER 2014. The BDI has now enjoyed 7 weeks of overall improvement albeit not collectively but mainly attributed to a firm capsize market (BDI +2.25% w-o-w, BCI +2.54% w-o-w). So far well performing Panamax, faced a severe correction -6% w-o-w with Supra being almost stable +0.9% w-o-w. We are more skeptical for the Handy market, historically it is the most stable market, but during 2014 has a very poor performance. This week alone Handy lost considerable gains made the previous week and finally dropped by -4.7%. We are convinced that a 4 th quarter will be stronger compared to 2 nd and 3 rd quarter 2014, but we keep our reservations as its duration and dynamic. On the S+P front, buying interest is available for almost all type of tonnage and sales are concluded when Sellers are really ready to phase the current market. A relative slow down on activity may partially be attributed to the Asian holidays. As usual for the last couple of years, US Funds are still active, especially for large and distressed shipping deals. With the current financial environment we will not be surprised to see much more tonnage (both individually as well as collectively) being offered for sale from the Banks. In case that happens, the effect on prices would largely depend on the freight market. For the time being, in the bulk sector the rate of decline in values is slowing whereas in the tanker sector prices are stable with a slight increase for popular tonnage (Aframax or MR) due to competition. Demolition market remains slow albeit few sales reported at high prices. Bangladesh scrap yards look more active, given shortage of tonnage recently committed. Pakistan Buyers though are more willing to pay more competitive prices, especially for large tonnage of interest, albeit demand for new tonnage may soon elapse. Indian prices remain volatile but optimism has return that a further improvement could be on the way. Finally, Chinese scrap yards remain quiet, mainly due to the upcoming holidays season. 1
