Pana - Prices slipped across the curve at the start of the week with oversupply of tonnage kicking around in the East. Prices was generally traded in a tight range with the week ending a touch stronger on Panamax. Post index market was very quiet with more bids coming in towards the end pushing the market up on Friday. Iron Ore The iron ore market opened strongly for the week, however volumes are lower than what was seen last week as traders attempted to gauge the next directional move. The market was relatively quiet towards the end of the week with little physical news, but we see more buyers as sentiment began to shift slightly. Fertilizer Prices in the International Urea market continue to hold stable as participants gauge physical market direction and upcoming end user demand. We also saw some volume done on DAP Tampa contracts with highest done at 480, closing at 470 ending the week. Yuzhnyy Urea has been rather quiet this week, as participants are on a cautionary tone, awaiting signs from end user markets. Bunker Fuel Despite a growing appetite for fuel oil, power consumption in Japans power sector is expected to decline this year which caused projected demand to dip 2 to 3% from last year. Japan is expected to restart more nuclear power plants and reduce the use of oil to generate electricity. Cash differentials for 380 cst fuel oil continued to plunge over the past week as there is lower demand from Chinese teapot refiners and utility providers after weeks of stock piling ahead of the Lunar New Year.

Dry Bulk Market - Weekly Highlights


The Dry Bulk market looks like its determined to cover for all the December losses as it closed positive for a third week in a row, with the index firming significantly from Wednesday onwards. The main driver behind this upward movement was the Cape Market, with rates firming on all main routes and with transatlantic fixtures offering the higher premium differences. Panamaxes didnt have a good week with freight rates for both basins feeling the pressure of tonnage oversupply. The Supra market also closed negative this week, with the only notable positive exception being that of rates offered for the Atwerp - Skaw route. Handies on the other hand managed to firm across both basins, with the most notable increase in rates offered for US Gulf to Skaw-Passero fixtures.

We mentioned last week how expectations for more stimulus from central banks have uplifted the commodities markets. Today the Bank of Japan has started a policy meeting that is expected by the majority of analysts to result in the announcement of additional stimulus. China also announced that its GDP for the last quarter of 2012 rose by 7.9%. Iron ore prices softened last week but some correction downwards was almost expected as traders rushed to lock profits after the recent rally. At the same time coal prices are expected to remain low as production for 2013 is estimated to increase significantly, while demand that has been mainly supported by Asia, doesnt look like firming any time soon.

Weekly Tanker Market Opinion


OPEC Moving to Tighten Market, as Demand Rebounds
In todays Oil Market Report (OMR), the International Energy Agency (IEA) provided a revised outlook that suggested a tighter oil market than orginally assumed, with rising demand estimates pushing against a decline in OPEC output. Indeed, with OPEC crude production having remained well above 31 mbpd during the first three quarters of 2012, global supply outpaced demand by 1.4 mbpd during that period. Those comfortable inventory builds are coming to an end for the moment, however, as the agency has hiked its oil demand forecasts, citing more rapid growth in Chinese oil demand. With OPEC already cutting its crude production by 0.65 mbpd since October, to 30.64 mbpd in December, the cartel has moved reduce supplies and cede market share to rising North American production. Additional OPEC cuts may pressure the tanker markets during 1h13, but rising demand expectations are suggesting a stronger end to the year, as dirty tanker fleet growth slows significantly.

in Chinese economic indicators. As fears over OECD economic conditions have subsided and as Chinese growth has resumed, the IEA has boosted their estimates for 2012 and 2013 global demand growth by 0.30 mbpd and 0.10 mbpd, respectively, since the November 2012 OMR. This places the IEA 2012 demand estimate 0.24 mbpd higher, at 89.83 mbpd, and the 2013 outlook 0.34 mbpd higher, to 90.76 mbpd. Upwards revisions to Chinese demand growth estimates were responsible for 59% of this recent, two-month boost to global demand numbers, while other non-OECD Asian economies contributed another 27% share of the forecast revision. After signs of economic weakness in mid-2012, highlighted by flat yoy growth in crude runs and electricity generation, Chinese macroeconomic and oil statistics rebounded during 4q12, contributing much of the upside surprise in oil demand during the quarter.

Source: IEA After being forced to cut their oil demand growth estimates during most of 2012, from concerns over global GDP growth, the IEA has begun to raise its demand forecasts during the past two months. Their growth outlook bottomed out during the Autumn, based upon continued concerns over the European sovereign debt and solvency crisis, chaotic US fiscal policy and apparent weakness

Source: IEA These higher global demand estimates for 2013 have only provided a modest uptick in the call on OPEC crude for the year, as rapidlyrising North American liquids production has partially offset the demand gains. For 2013, the IEA estimates for the call on OPEC crude has risen by only 0.11 mbpd since November, to 29.96 mbpd, as the non-OPEC supply forecast has increased by 0.23 mbpd. This small move in the expected call on OPEC crude, however, masks some seasonal shifts in crude demand that could influence the dirty tanker market. During the recent cycle in IEA forecasts,

oil supply pain for the dirty tanker market is nearing its conclusion. Still, with an impulse of dirty tonnage supply during 1q13, from 2012 deliveries pushed into 2013, these remaining OPEC cuts and traditional seasonal weakness should heap additional punishment on the dirty tanker markets this spring. The recent start-up of the first 200 kbpd crude distillation unit at the Saudi Aramco-Total 400 kbpd joint venture refinery in Jubail should reduce Saudi Arabian crude export availability, as should the seasonal recovery in regional electricity demand.

Weekly Tanker Market Opinion


the agency expectation for the OPEC call during the seasonallyweak 2q13 have remained stable near 29.2 mbpd. This had always suggested trouble for the VLCC market, as a series of OPEC production cuts seemed necessary to balance the market and stem the global stock builds. Even allowing for a traditional build during 2q13, the previous OPEC crude production levels above 31 mbpd suggested more than 1 mbpd of output cuts. With OPEC already cutting to 30.65 mbpd in December, according to IEA statistics, the cartel has removed 0.60 mbpd of output since September and has moved partially towards a level that would stabilise inventories during the year. Meanwhile, much higher IEA global demand estimates have pushed up expectations for the 4q13 call by 0.5 mbpd since the November OMR, to 30.6 mbpd. This is significant, since earlier estimates as low as 30.1 mbpd for 4q13 would have implied OPEC crude production as low as 29.5 mbpd during the quarter to provide finally a seasonal stock draw. This would have suggested that OPEC reign in their crude production to this level in early-2013 and maintain well into 2014.

Source: Poten After surging in November on a jump in AG fixture levels, VLCC TCE earnings have softened during the past two months, as the level of fixtures has slid. This has reflected the realities of lower production and export availability, as well as shifts in regional VLCC ownership. Lower OPEC crude production, led by swing producer Saudi Arabia, should continue to pressure VLCC earnings lower during the Spring. If this harsh rate environment encourages owners to scrap additional tonnage, then the improving demand environment in late-2013 could support the market just as fleet growth slows and possibly contracts. Conversely, if owners do not embrace demolition this year, then forward prospects will dim.

OPEC Crude Output

Source: IEA This lower, 29.5 mbpd level of OPEC crude output would have placed additional, severe pressure on the dirty tanker markets. With the IEA boosting demand estimates, especially for late-2013, the OPEC crude demand outlook is appearing less dour now -although still hardly stellar. This would imply that OPEC could now cut production to 30.3 mbpd during 2013 and still achieve desired inventory balances, with small draws during the Northern Hemisphere winter months. Given the level of strategic inventory building in non-OECD countries, this level of global build should prompt sufficient tightness in OECD stocks. Then, additional demand gains into 2014 might allow some recovery in OPEC volumes. At the very least, this forecast environment provides a floor for the dirty tanker rate carnage. With OPEC already producing at 30.65 mbpd in December, the cartel is near the level at which it can stabilise production and achieve its goals -- suggesting that the

Tanker Market - Weekly Highlights


VLCCs, Aframaxes lead 2012 tanker market improvement
Average earnings across the key tanker classes marked a return to year-on-year gains during 2012, paring losses observed during 2011. The key VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax segments recorded a 31% y/y rise in earnings, led by strong gains of 28% and 57% in the VLCC and Aframax classes, respectively. VLCCs benefitted from an early boost in ton-mile demand during 1H12 as Eastern nations reduced imports of crude from Iran ahead of mid-year sanctions implementation and a narrower Brent/Dubai price premium, stoking greater numbers of long-haul voyages on the WAFR-FEAST and CBS-FEAST routes. A simultaneous 1H12 rise in Middle East VLCC cargoes materialized on the back of renewed efforts by Saudi Arabia to allay fears over any prospective crude supply constraints resulting from reduced export volumes of Iranian crude also aided the market by prompting greater heavy crude imports at the USG area. Though during 1H12 the greater corresponding long-haul AG-USG chartering activity was largely attributed to inventory building at Port Arthur, TX, ahead of Motivas 325,000 b/d expansion, y/y demand gains on the route remained through 2H12 despite a halting of the expanded refining capacity during 2H12 due to corrosion issues. Overall, ton-mile demand growth in the VLCC sector expanded by 10.8%, y/y, following a 32.9% y/y growth rate during 2011. Net y/y fleet growth rates of 6.2% and 7.0% during 2012 and 2011, respectively, improved prevailing overall supply/demand ratios in the sector, as evidenced by the rise in earnings in the sector to $22,500/ day during 2012 from $17,600/day during 2011. Aframaxes earnings growth led the tanker sector, rising to an average of $15,700/day during 2012 from $14,500/day during 2011. Mediterranean market demand benefitted from a quicker than expected recovery of Libyan crude exports which expanded Libyadriven spot market activity in the region in excess of pre-war levels after charterers reduced period cover over the course of the war. In the Baltic Sea market, the inauguration of BPS-2 and its Ust-Luga terminus in the Gulf of Finland boosted monthly Aframax volumes in the region by as much as 144% from October, when phase 1 of the system progressed into full operations when compared to the months preceding the systems test phase between March and September. In the Caribbean market, total Aframax demand rose by 10.1%, y/y. The demand gain is inclusive of a 6.1% y/y gain in cargoes from the Caribbean area to points in the US, despite stronger competition from Suezmaxes, for which regional activity rose 36%, y/y.

SHIPPING MARKETS
while those to Singapore were untested but are presently assessed at $4.33m (LS) a $50k gain, w/w. Suezmax The Atlantic Suezmax market was under continued negative pressure this week on slower activity and a further supply/demand imbalance. Rates on the WAFR-USAC route shed 5 points to conclude at ws57.5. In the Black Sea market, rates on the BSEAMED route shed 7.5 points to settle at ws60.0, despite weather related delays at Novorossiysk since Tuesday. The delays are reportedly expected to continue through the weekend, but only a small number of loadings appear to have been prevented from loading thus far. Assuming that cargo loading operations resume on Monday, an impact on rate progression is unlikely. Aframax The Caribbean Aframax market saw little movement this week as an oversupply of units continues to hamper owners ability to command higher rates on the back of continued weather and ullage delays at the USG area. The CBS-USG route was unchanged at the ws85 level throughout the week. Though an improvement in rates appears unlikely during the week ahead, with some units having disappeared from position lists towards the end of the week, negative pressure is also likely to be limited. The European Aframax market saw modest negative pressure this week as overall vessel availability prevented owners from holding on to earlier rates. The NSEA-UKC route eased 2.5 points and the MED-MED route shed 2.5 points to ws77.5, despite weather delays in the Black Sea. Panamax The Caribbean Panamax market saw an uptick in activity which allowed rates to pare the previous weeks losses. The CBS-USAC route gained 5 points to conclude at ws110. With owners remaining bullish, sustained activity during the week ahead should see rates extend this weeks gains. Despite gains in the Caribbean market, rates in the European market eased on a slower pace of fresh activity. The CONT-USG route dropped 5 points to conclude at ws97.5. With TCEs in the Caribbean and European markets now within ~$400/day of each other, ballasting between markets is unlikely. MR The Caribbean MR market remained active this week, led by sustained exports from the USG area. Some 18 units are presently on subjects for USG liftings after charterers made a late-week push to cover requirements ahead of the US holiday weekend. Some charterers were also looking at taking units on USG-FEAST voyages to capture a potential Naphtha arbitrage, but ultimately no fixtures materialized on the route. Rates on the USG-TA route were volatile, closing around ws100 but with recent fixtures having recently concluded both above and below this level. The European MR market was under negative pressure as units came free off voyages from the USG and an uncertain gasoline arbitrage. The Cont-USAC route dropped 10 points to conclude at ws160.

Tanker Market - Weekly Highlights


THE TANKER MARKETS VLCC The VLCC market was observably slower this week across all markets as charterers awaited stem confirmations before progressing more concertedly into the February Middle East program and West Africa cargoes were impacted by a slower Nigeria exports program. Mounting negative pressure on rates, which had been building through most of the week culminated towards the end of the week with rate declines on key Middle East and West Africa routes after a single Middle East cargo received upwards of 8 offers. Near term downside appears greatest on the AG-USG route as owners are keen on the onward triangulated trading prospects given present triangulated Westbound trade earnings of ~$25,900/day versus AG-East voyages which are presently yielding ~$18,800/day. We note that owners remain highly resistant to lower rates, which has provided some limit to downside. Historically, January is a relatively strong month, but with MTD earnings averaging some 25% below the January 2012 levels, owners remain keen to keep rates strong as forward rate progression remains uncertain with TD3 FFA indications presently in backwardation. Though the two recent months Middle East cargo programs have remained well below the 2012 monthly average of 127 and the 1H12 average of 132, the 26 observed VLCC fixtures from West Africa during December was well above the 2012 monthly average of 23. Given the fact that units coming free in the Far East tend to weigh on both Middle East and West Africa positions, the ability for the share of West Africa exports serviced by VLCCs to remain high will likely be a key driver of the market given the higher ton-mile demand relative to the AG-Far East route. Middle East There were 20 fresh fixtures reported in the Middle East market this week. Rates to the Far East shed 1.9 points, w/w, to an average of ws41.5. TCEs on the route averaged ~$20,900/day, a w/w loss of ~$3,300/day. Rates to the USG eased 1.6 points, w/w, to an average of ws41.5. Triangulated Westbound trade earnings dropped ~$1,400/day, w/w, to an average of ~$25,500/day. To date, 117 January and 18 February Middle East cargoes have been covered. With the January program now appearing to have likely concluded early at this level, some 10 units will carry over into February dates and be compounded by a further 28 units coming free through the first decade of the month. Against this, we project 20-22 cargoes through the same period of time. We expect that rates will remain under modest negative pressure through the coming week accordingly, though a faster pace of fresh cargoes as charterers progressing more aggressively into the February program could limit or delay negative movements. Atlantic Basin The Atlantic basin was much quieter this week with just 7 fresh fixtures reported and more than half of these emanating from West Africa, and all bound for points in the East. Rates on the WAFR-FEAST route eased 2.5 points to ws40.3. TCEs on the route averaged ~$18,300/day. In the Caribbean and North Sea markets, rates posted modest gains on the back of tighter position lists. In the former, positions were particularly tight for February dates prompting rates to West Coast India to rise to $3.8m (LS)

The newbuilding business remains hot for the first month of the year with investors being also willing to conclude S&P transactions in the secondhand market and dispose their vintage tonnage at the current favoring scrap prices. The third week of January ends with lower volume of newbuilding deals but with higher value contracts for the construction of large sized vessels, fewer reported demolition transactions at firm scrap prices and appetite for secondhand purchases in the bulk carrier and tanker segments. Overall, 19 transactions reported worldwide in the secondhand and demolition market, down by 61% week on week due to a 53% decrease of secondhand purchasing activity and 74% lower scrapping vessel removals. At similar week in 2012, the total S&P activity was standing 69% higher than the current levels, when 32 transactions had been reported and secondhand ship purchasing activity was 15% higher than the ordering business. The highest activity has been recorded in the newbuilding market with 30 new orders reported, while secondhand purchasing activity has been centered more on vintage tonnage than modern vessels. SECONDHAND MARKET The week ended with S&P transactions in all main vessel segments with focus on small vessel sizes of vintage tonnage. In the bulk carrier segment, there was an activity in the handymax segment for vessels of more than 15yrs old. The most modern S&P transaction took place in the handysize segment for a vessel of 32,400dwt built 2003 Japan for about $10,5mil with special survey passed. In the tanker segment, two S&P transactions reported in the very large crude carrier segment for vessels built 1993 and 1997 sold for about $21mil and $26,5mil respectively.

Overall, 14 vessels reported to have changed hands this week at a total invested capital in the region of US$ 146 mil , 5 S&P deals in the bulk carrier, 3 in the tanker, 2 in the gas tanker, 2 in the liner and 2 in the container segment. In terms of the reported number of transactions, the S&P activity is down by 53% from last weeks activity, due to a 58% weekly decrease in the purchase of bulk carriers and 81% decrease in tanker purchases. Comparable with previous years weekly S&P activity is almost at similar levels, when 15 vessels induced buyers interest at a total invested capital of about $219,02mil with tankers holding 53% of the total volume of S&P activity. In terms of invested capital, the tanker segment appears as the most overweight segment by attracting about 39% of the total amount of money invested with the purchase of 2 VLCCs and one handysize vessel.

NEWBUILDING MARKET

In the newbuilding market, the third week of January concludes with slower business from previous weeks but with interesting news for the upcoming construction of large sized vessels under negotiations. In the container segment, Seaspan is sealing an agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries for the construction of up to ten 14,000 TEU boxships including a time charter agreement

at CSSC Jiangnan shipyard. The first very large crude carrier is scheduled to be delivered at the end of 2014 and the other two in the first and third quarter of 2015. In addition, US listed -Nordic American Tankers is under the process of ordering two suezmax tankers in Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea for delivery from late 2014 at an expected cost of about $56-$57mil each, including option for further units. In the product segment, Stena Bulk of Sweden has declared an option for two more sophisticated vessels of 50,000dwt for construction at Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) for its vegoil activities, extending the series to eight sister vessels from its initial order of six vessels placed in May 2012. The newbuilding cost is estimated in the region of $40mil each with delivery in late 2015. In the gas tanker segment, Bonny Gas of Nigeria has reached an agreement with South Korean shipyards for the construction of six 170,000 cum LNG carriers, four will be built in Samsung and two in Hyundai for delivery in 2015-2016. In addition, Spore-based BW Maritime has signed a contract with Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea for the construction of a LNG floating storage regacification unit of 170,000 cbm at an undisclosed contract price with delivery in 2015. A company official stated in Fairplay: We are not strangers to the LNG business. We want to increase LNG activities as this is our strategy going forward. BW noted that it has a good relationship with South Korean shipbuilders and that it chose Samsung, the second-biggest among South Koreas yard groups, because it offered an attractive proposition. SHI also has a proven track record in delivering LNG vessels to some of the worlds biggest LNG players, it added. BW has been investing in the LPG and LNG sectors. In the last 18 months, we have had six LPG acquisitions, and we ordered two LNG carrier newbuildings, BW explained. The Singaporean owner declines to reveal either the price of the newbuilding or future employment of the vessel. In the container segment, Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea has won the order for five 14,000 TEU containerships, including an option for five more, for Canadian shipowner Seaspan to be chartered on a long term contract with Taiwans Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. The order is valued at about $600mil and vessels will be delivered from the beginning of 2015. The ships will measure 368m in length, 51m in width and 30m in depth, HHI said. The vessels will have electronically controlled main engines for fuel efficiency and HiBallast seawater treatment systems, HHI added. DEMOLITION MARKET In the demolition market, Bangladesh and India have remained very active for the first weeks of January with aggressive prices above $400/ldt, while China is in very close proximity with the Indian subcontinent region before the Chinese New Year. During 2012, 1291 vessels are estimated to have been sent to the scrap

In the gas LNG tanker segment, China Shipping Group and Mitsui OSK are expected to conclude an agreement for the construction of up to eight 174,000 cum LNG carriers before the Chinese New year with HudongZhonghua shipyard of China with a total value of about $1,5bn to service the Australia Pacific LNG project. In addition, Bonny Gas of Nigeria has reached an agreement with South Korean shipyards for the construction of six 170,000 cum LNG carriers, four will be built in Samsung and two in Hyundai for delivery in 2015-2016. One more interesting newbuilding deal emerged for South Korean shipyards under the current freight market recession and uncertainty of worldwide shipping demand for the construction of new vessels in the main vessel segment. Spore-based BW Maritime has signed a contract with Samsung Heavy Industries of South Korea for the construction of a LNG floating storage regacification unit of 170,000 cbm at an undisclosed contract price with delivery in 2015. Chinese yards are still benefiting from newbuilding deals in the very large crude carrier tanker segment under the countrys strategic plan to establish a giant VLCC pool of 50 very large crude carriers. Following Decembers order of last year from China Ocean Shipping Group for the construction two 308,000dwt tankers in Dalian Shipbuilding, China Merchant Energy is said to have now ordered three very large crude carriers with an option of three more at CSSC Jiangnan shipyard. Overall, the week closed with 30 fresh orders reported worldwide at a total deadweight of 2,252,500 tons, posting a 33 % week-on-week decline from previous week due to a 900% decline in contracting activity for bulk carriers and 1800% downfall in the demand for the construction of special projects. In the gas tanker segment, there has been a remarkable 700% week-on-week increase from strong LNG orders placed at South Korean Shipyards, while in the container segment the massive postpanax order from Seaspan lifted the weekly contracting activity by 600%. This weeks total newbuilding business is up by 131% from similar weeks closing in 2012, when 13 fresh orders had been reported, 2 for bulkers, 6 for tankers, 1 gas tanker and 4 special projects. In terms of invested capital, the total amount of money invested is estimated in the region of more than $2,25bn, 17 newbuidling deals reported at an undisclosed contract price, with a hefty amount invested in the offshore segment from the placement of a contract in Chinese yard, CIMCs Yantai Raffles for two semisubmersible drilling rigs from Frigstad Deepwater of Cyprus at a total cost of $1,3bn. In the bulk carrier segment, Ultrabulk of Denmark will build kamsarmax vessel of 81,000 dwt in Tsuneishi yard of Japan and it would charter the vessel for up to 13 years upon its delivery at end2014.
