巴拿马运河拓宽 6月26日举行落成典礼
2016-3-25
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。 来自远洋航务e刊 |
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.

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。 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400万TEU(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。” 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英 里/小时(88千米/小时)的条件下运行。 来自中国工业报 |

CHARTERING- Tanker (2016-03-30)
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)
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…
