巴拿马运河拓宽 626日举行落成典礼

2016-3-25


巴拿马总统办公室24日宣布,预定626日举行巴拿马运河拓宽落成典礼。这项耗资53亿美元的运河拓宽计划原定201410月完工,但多次延宕。运河拓宽后通行量可达到原先的2.5倍。

据预测,2017年通行量或将达到3.6亿吨。新运河将很大程度上改变现有国际航运贸易航线,班轮业者将有更多的航线选择。同时将有更多的大型散货船使用运河,为散货船东的运营提供更多机遇。另外,新运河还将有利中国的能源运输。

巴拿马运河是中国从委内瑞拉运输石油的主要通道,扩建后,运载委内瑞拉出口原油的20万吨级以上油轮可以通过巴拿马运河,不必再绕行大西洋和印度洋运往中国。运输时间将从45天缩短至25天,这对油轮公司来说是个好消息。

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announced on Wednesday that the Panama Canal expansion will be officially inaugurated on Sunday 26 June.

In April the ACP will call a tender to broker the chartering of a vessel- either a LNG, a container or a tanker- that will make the navigation tests in the Atlantic Agua Clara new locks with two transits-round trip- per day in May and in June in the Pacific Cocoli locks, ACP Administrator Jorge Quijano told Seatrade Maritime News.

There will be one single transit of a neo-panamax on the day of the inauguration June 26 and commercial operations will begin in ‘full gear’ the following Monday June 27. The first transit [on June 26] will be raffled off to the top customers of the Canal, probably end of April but no later than May. The winner - as it is just the distinction of being the first neo-panamax vessel to transit the new locks - will still have to pay according to the new toll.

Four new gates for the Panama Canal arrive at the port of Colón, 90 km from Panama City, on Sept. 7, 2014 by Cosco’s MV ’Xa Ji Wan’. The new locks are part of a group of 16 gates to be used in the Panama Canal expansion works.

武汉成巴拿马船员证培训基地

2016-3-25

在武汉考取巴拿马船员证,可在全球四分之一的国际商船上工作,月薪过万元。昨从武汉航运交易所获悉,今后全国船员可在武汉直接拿巴证,开创全国先河。

近日,巴拿马海事部门相关负责人到访武汉进行商务洽谈,经现场验收,正式授权武汉海事职业技术学院为巴拿马船员证培训中心,授权武汉怡东船舶管理有限公司为巴拿马船员证考试、发证中心。

巴拿马是世界最大的船旗国,全球约四分之一的大型商船(包括一些中资船舶)均悬挂巴拿马国方便旗(简称巴籍船),船员要上巴籍船工作,必须持有巴证。目前,我国船员都是通过他国换发巴证,周期长、价格高,一艘船一年约需1万美金。

武汉新港管委会副主任李怀军表示,武汉将充分利用湖北航运机构集中、船员培训院校众多、人力资源丰富的优势,努力打造中国中西部船员招募中心、中国内河船员高端培养基地及中国高素质海员外派基地。

中远太平洋与新加坡港务集团合作

2016-3-29

图为新加坡巴西班让港区集装箱码头
成立38天后,中国远洋海运集团宣布了在码头业务领域的一项重大合作进展。
3
28日,中远太平洋(01199.HK)与新加坡港务集团(PSA)通过下属合资公司在上海签署合作协议:中远新港码头有限公司(CPT)将目前在新加坡巴西班让港区(Pasir Panjiang)

经营的两个旧泊位,置换成该港区第 34期码头的34个新泊位。

CPT
由中远太平洋与PSA20031025日在新加坡合资成立,共经营两个泊位,是中远太平洋在海外投资的第一个码头项目。中海港口于2014年底也就巴西班让港区合作与PSA开始了洽商,中远中海合并后双方与后者的合作步伐进一步加快。

中远海运集团副总经理、新闻发言人俞曾港介绍,达成此次合作是因为旧泊位启用时间较长,无论码头设施还是岸线都已经不能满足船舶大型化的需要,而新的泊位不仅能够保证1.8万至2TEU的超大型集装箱船靠泊,并将实现全自动化运行。

此次置换完成后,中远海运在新加坡经营的码头装卸能力将明显增加,承担枢纽港作用的能力将有所增强。俞曾港对21世纪经济报道介绍,预计新的4个泊位总共会有400TEU的年装卸能力,其中前两个泊位2017年开始运作。

业务之间的协同作用,成为合并后的中远海运海外拓展的重要砝码。此前中远海运集团董事长许立荣就对21世纪经济报道分析,中远中海合并后对于码头业务拓展的一个好处是,码头看重能否带来箱量,而合并后集运运力增加为码头业务增加了谈判筹码。

中远太平洋副主席兼董事总经理邱晋广对21世纪经济报道透露,在此前上市公司资产交割完成的基础上,中远和中海两大集团的码头业务整合计划于3月底完成。318日,中海码头发展资产已经注入中远太平洋,后者于24日也将佛罗伦集装箱租赁业务售出。

其实之前中远和中海在大陆以外的一些投资已经有过合作沟通,如在高雄和香港的码头业务,未来双方作为一个团队,在海外码头布局方面将更有优势。邱晋广表示。

在一带一路沿线国家,中远海运的码头枢纽布局如何考虑?俞曾港介绍,从亚洲到地中海一直到欧洲(北欧、西欧等航运主要市场),中远海运一直致力于枢纽港的寻找和发展。

除了希腊比雷埃夫斯港(尚未最终落定)已经确定将打造成为地中海东部的枢纽大港外,中远海运业在考虑在地中海西部、欧洲等其他地区进行枢纽港的布局。

码头业务合并后,中远太平洋的大部分业务仍然在大陆,海外布局有限。大概80%的箱量和盈利贡献都是从大陆的码头来的当然这和中国的经济形态(出口导向型)是有很大关系的。

邱晋广表示,但未来中远太平洋肯定将大力在海外拓展码头布局,当然这当中需要考虑到各国法律限制和风险控制的问题

振华重工获英国港口1.7亿美元设备合同

2016-3-25

上海振华重工(集团)股份有限公司(振华重工)与英国大型港口运营商PeelPorts于近日在上海正式签订一份价值1.7亿美元的合同,旨在推动中英两国未来双边贸易发展。

振华重工为实施利物浦2期码头项目提供8台船对岸(STS)Megamax港岸起重机和22台悬臂轨道式龙门起重机。PeelPorts 首席执行官魏马克 (Mark Whitworth)在为期两天的中国之行期间不但签署了金额为1.7亿美元的合同,而且还参观了振华重工在长兴和南通的工程设施。

魏马克说:中国与英国有着悠久的贸易历史,而利物浦港2期码头位于英国的中心位置,将为居住在利物浦周边240公里范围内的英国人口打造一条供应中国商品的直航贸易线路。

作为北欧运营最有效的枢纽站之一,利物浦港2期码头将为进入该区域市场提供一条最迅速、最具成本效益的路线,不只是针对运往英格兰市场的商品,还包括运往苏格兰、爱尔兰、北威尔士的商品,新开放每年吞吐量为400TEU(20尺标准集装箱计量单位)的新市场,增进两国之间的潜在贸易。

魏补充道:很高兴来到上海并与振华重工签订这份重要的协议,这对于整个利物浦港的转型以及我们所做出的努力至关重要。振华重工不只是提供起重机,他们在帮助我们完成一个能够改变整个英国物流行业的项目,利物浦港是英国第三大集装箱港口并在中英贸易中处于战略性重要地位。

振华重工设备使港口能够同时处理两艘380米长的船只,预计每个潮汐窗口进行1500 次动作。

起重机通过半自动遥控运行,减少将集装箱从港口转移到公路或者铁路所花费的时间,这意味着65%的拖运周转在30分钟内完成,95%的拖运周转在60分钟内完成。它们还能在速度超过30英里/小时和风速高达55 /小时(88千米/小时)的条件下运行。

船对岸起重机和悬臂轨道式龙门起重机机群将配备最先进的码头周边设施、一流港口和物流解决方案,包括完一个完全集成的NavisN4码头作业系统、自动闸道和ABB设备控制装置。

在物流方面,货物运输有效地减少燃料的使用量和降低碳排放量。在英国有如此连通性的港口运营商非常少,这些综合服务使货商实现最佳的端到端运费价值。

2013
年,中国成为英国第七大出口市场。中国是英国第三大进口国。英国从中国进口的商品达568亿美元(333亿英镑),同比增长6%,自2010年以来增长9%

CHARTERING- Tanker (2016-03-30)

CRUDE

The extensive delays in Chinese ports in particular continuous and pushed charterers over the Easter holidays to secure tonnage with secure itineraries. This has created a very bullish momentum, which has pushed rates up sharply in the MEG for all options. Rates MEG/East moved quickly to ws70 and last done at ws80 for MEG/China yielding about USD 60k/day. West Africa/East is following with a thinning list of tonnage in the east making charterers reach even into May laycan, propelling the momentum further for the VLCC’s. Charterers saw some resistance from Suezmax owners before the Easter holidays kicked in. Tonnage with firm positions looked to do higher than last done for Wafr/Ukc-Med voyages, and managed pushed the rates upwards 2.5-5 points to a new fixing level. The activity picked up after the holidays with charterers working up to end of 2nd decade in Wafr although the rates have remained steady off last done for the time being. The MEG are seeing firm numbers with a potential further upswing as end month Basrah liftings are coming into play in addition to uncertain positions in the Spore-China range due to bad weather and ullage. Rates in the North Sea and Baltic Aframax markets bounced back over Easter after a short-lived dip. The main reasons for rates firming again being a very busy Baltic crude program for April and fewer vessels than normal being declared short. At time of writing the list of available tonnage seems in balance with the expected cargoes, and rates should slide sideways in than short term, but with a slight potential of firming moving further into 3rd decade April fixing window. Charterers in the Med and Bsea managed to cover what they needed before Easter, without rates moving as much as expected. We are now seeing levels around ws115 being done, and as the position list is looking rather balanced, we expect the market to remain stable for the week to come.

CHARTERING- Dry bulk (2016-03-30)

CAPE

Another uneventful week with fixtures concluded at last done levels, C5 levels remain around the USD 3 mark, whilst C3 is still just short of USD 6. A couple of stronger fixtures has been concluded in the Atlantic, mainly explained by ice conditions at load port.

PANAMAX

The Atlantic activity has been reasonable taken the Easter days into account. Rates in Northern Atlantic keep steady and Pmaxes obtain low 4k while Kmax being fixed mid 4k for t/a rounds. Some charterers utilizing the favourable “low” rates locking in coa’s these days. Grain houses active booking ships. S.American grain absorbing tonnage and rates firmer for trips to Feast. Good Kmaxes fixed at high 6 and 7k+200bb to Feast. Pacific little slower after Easter and nopac round covered in the low/mid 4. Aussie/India also in the low 4k. Some medium periods typical 6-8 months covered at low 6k while 1-year Pmaxes obtain 4.8-4.9k now. Still expectations for the grain ECSA on short term.

SUPRAMAX

It is still decent activity out of the ECSA and rates are pushing up. Owners with Ultramaxes are asking USD 10k+USD 100k GBB for trip Feast whereas for Continent destination asking around USD 9k. It is not the same push out of the NCSA and owners are ballasting towards USG for cargo coverage. In the Pacific, we see some negative signs with owners fixing below 5k bss Spore for trips to full India. This is below last done but for the longer duration trips via NoPac owners are asking 5.5-6k DOP Feast rates whereas charterers are back to rating APS at lower levels. The period market in the Pacific is back above the 5k mark and owners fixing out on period in the Atlantic are closer to 6k.

CHARTERING (2016-03-30)

GAS

It has been a quiet week indeed, it feels as if the rest of the world took the same Easter holidays as Europe did recently. Only half a dozen VLGCs were fixed over the last 10 days, and typically they were fixed at floating rates linked to the Baltic index, usually Baltic average of the month of loading. A couple of fixtures loading in the USG in May have already been concluded on this basis, hence we will not know the actual rate for another 2 months. The VLGC LPG index itself paused over the Easter holidays, but it was put down to 31.25 on the first day thereafter. This is the lowest Baltic level in 6 years (April 2010). The question is whether this is as low as it gets in the current cycle - the answer to that lie with LPG pricing in comparison to other hydrocarbons as well as the Asians' appetite for the gas. We believe the index/actual fixtures will remain in the low USD 30's for a while. There is a risk owners may use the momentum of slightly improved west/east arbitrage in the last few days to increase spot rates, however, the margins are extremely thin and any increase in freight rates may close the tiny spot arbitrage as quickly as it "opened". The most recent VLGC fixtures return some USD 24,300 per day on a modern VLGC based on current Baltic level, we estimate this is somewhat below the average commercial breakeven of the VLGC fleet.

Newbuilding-General comment

Quiet newbuilding activity in all segments, and only one single order to report over the last week. Chinese yards have experienced a decline in order intake of 75.1% over the first part of the year compared year-on-year 2015. On the opposite side, Bulk Carrier scrapping has hit an all-time high in the same period, with about 165 bulkers scrapped, representing about 1.7% of the world`s bulker fleet. High numbers of Capesize and Panamax bulk carriers have also been scrapped over the past year to date, with some 2.1% and 1.8% of the respective fleets sold for demolition. Still too soon for optimism…
