Tanker rates are going nowhere in both the crude and product markets and we are still seeing voyage rates well
below $10,000/day levels for most trade routes worldwide. The only modern sales candidates are from the Toisa
bankruptcy fleet and it will be interesting to see where price levels settle after the eight Suezmaxes, four
Aframaxes, four LR 2's and three LR 1's product tankers find buyers.
Vintage bulk carriers are flooding the S&P markets as Sellers are looking to capture the price levels that we have
seen over the last several months (but there have been fewer sales post Chinese New Year). There are still
unconfirmed reports that the China Maritime Safety Administration will soon reduce the age limit for imported
ships from maximum 18 years to maximum 15 years.
The Panamax bulk carrier market is a good example - there are at least fifteen late 1990's built Panamaxes
currently for sale. Another factor that limits the number of buyers is that ship finance is almost impossible to
obtain for the vintage vessels and there are not many cash buyers.
