MAERSK Line looks set to limit its fleet of 18,000 teu containerships to 20 units, but has more than a month to decide whether to exercise its option to order 10 more. The deadline on the option for the final tranche expires at the end of February, but Maersk has already said it does not expect to convert the option into an order. The decision is likely to be confirmed when AP Moller-Maersk publishes its full-year results on February 27. Speculation about Maersk s intentions was fuelled by comments in the German media that appeared to suggest that it had cancelled the order for the second series of 10, placed last summer. However, Maersk says it will take delivery of all 20 Triple-E ships ordered last year at a cost of $190m each. Maersk announced its $1.9bn order for 10 ships to be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering almost a year ago, along with options for two more series of 10. At 400 m long and with a beam of 59 m, they will be the largest ships in service. Deliveries will start in 2013. 22

The Impact of Canal Expansion on Dry Bulks 1. The USG-Asia grain trade will become more competitive through the use of larger vessels. 2. Potential for increased trade of coal to Asia/China.

The Impact of Canal Expansion on Liquid Bulks 1. Canal expansion will make Ecuador USG crude shipments more competitive vs alternative sources (e.g., ex Nigeria).. 2. The expanded Canal will be the first route choice for LNG trades between Trinidad-Chile and Peru-USG and for Shale Gas exports coming out of the U.S. destined to Asia.
