2017-3-15
2016年6月18日,振华重工启东举行50000吨级半潜船“振华33”下水暨命名仪式。
2017年3月14日,我国首艘军民两用五万吨级半潜船“振华33”号在江苏启动投入使用,据悉,该船建成投入使用后,可以实现万吨级舰船靠泊中转倒运、直升机海上中继保障、舰船海上应急抢修和后送等多种功能。无锡联勤保障中心某航务军代处技术动员处副处长黄浩介绍说,这艘船从设计到建造完工历时两年零三个月,是我国目前吨位最大的贯彻国防要求民船,与常规航母相当,具有海上装、运、卸、修等多种功能。
据了解,这艘军民两用半潜船科技和自动化水平很高,建造工艺复杂,目前世界上只有中国和荷兰等少数国家可以自主设计建造。
据媒体报道,这艘船就是“振华33”号,由上海振华海洋工程集团有限公司下属单位启东公司为振华海服集团建造。
据了解,“振华33”船为钢质、流线型船艏、方艉的三岛式半潜运输船,举力5万吨,总长227米,船宽43米,主甲板面积7700平方米。该船吃水10米,半潜吃水(最大潜深)27米,是目前振华重工最大的一艘半潜运输船。
2016年6月18日,振华重工启东海洋工程股份有限公司为“振华33”举行了下水暨命名仪式。2017年2月27日,该船完成试航及下潜试验项目,成功归来。这个项目的成功也意味着启东公司特种船舶的建造能力迈上了新的台阶。 |

CHARTERING- Tanker (2017-03-15)
CRUDE
After the sharp downward correction in rates for the VLCC’s we are now in the ‘interim-month-period’. Activity therefore measured even after the BOT stem confirmations for April came out. The disparity in rates between modern and old ships remain whilst rates for the longer voyages like Wafr/East have been better maintained. Elsewhere its subdued with ample tonnage and rates likely to remain under pressure for the time being. Last week was a game of patience for the Suezmax owners, key owners maintained their bullish stance as they sensed they had the charterers backed into a corner, several weaker candidates were rapidly picked off thinning the list. The game changer was in the 3rd decade in Wafr where rates accelerated from the mid ws80’s up to ws100 quite rapidly. There was further resistance as a batch of cargoes to S-Africa were shown together proving tricky . Early April dates for cargoes have been slow in appearing in order to dampen the momentum and allow new positions to materialise. The Bsea and Med have mirrored the Wafr trend and have now slowed with a more steady sentiment prevailing. The outlook for the week ahead has the potential for a softer landing. Expectations for higher Aframax rates in the last decade of March came to a sudden end with last week lack of activity. Ice tonnage is ample and as such charterers will seize the opportunity to push rates down. However, this downward correction could be a short lived one as we expect rates to recover already again next week on the back of higher activity end month. In the Med and Bsea cargoes have been moving under the radar as owners have tried to keep lower rates hidden from the market. After a couple of owners managed to score a very good W120 for prompt and short voy’s from Algeria and Libya to Spain, we are again seeing the more normal x-Med and Bsea/Med trips going in at ws107.5 levels. The Bsea April stems came out this week, and with few Afra stems and a gap of up to three days out of CPC mid-month, we expect a downward correction of the market.
CHARTERING- Dry bulk (2017-03-15)
CAPE
The Capesize market is showing strength. The main driver is the Brazil and SAfrica market where demand is strong and the number of ballasting vessels are limited. The Brazil to China market is presently at around USD 16 pmt and vessels on North Continent are being fixed at USD 26-27,000 on tct for same. This is putting pressure on the Transatlantic market as well. The South Africa to China market is above USD 12 pmt level. The WAus to China market have not been too active, as BHP have been absent from the market for the last week. Pac tct market have pushed though, and is presently around USD 16,000 - as most owners are looking to ballast towards the better Atlantic market, creating competition for the WAus market.
PANAMAX
The week has been very quiet so far for the Panamaxes. Most charts holding back, as index turned negative mainly due to the lack of business reported. In Nopac LME’s were fixed in range of USD 10,500/ 10,750 dely North china while for 1 year period USD 10,350 was reported dely Seasia. Ecsa remains strong with Kmsx fixing at USD 11,000 dop dely Paradip while TA looks slightly softer much lead of lack of activity. FFA still seen a good volume with q2 trading in a narrow range of USD 9,750 -10,250 . Overall market feels softer and we might see lower rates across both basins in the near term.
SUPRAMAX
The Atl market faced less activity from the USG whereas at the Cont tonnage seemed to tighten up with more cargoes emerging. Despite this it was few fixtures as owners tended to wait and see. Ultras on fhaul from USG to Far East remained around 21k daily. Bigger Supras from Cont for TA got 11k and same to WA ca 14k. At end of the last week the Pacific market slowed down, the same trend has continued into this week. Indo rv’s to China is paying owners around high USD 10k-11k for Supras with Spore delivery, while for Nopac rv’s Supras are getting fixed at around low 9k for with redel ECI/Bdesh. From MEG to ECI/Bdesh ows are achieving around low USD 14k and China to India trips are paying around high USD 8k.
CHARTERING (2017-03-15)
GAS
This week has been more active for the largest LPG carriers, and we have seen more cargoes being discussed in most loading regions. There were a few fixtures at rates marginally stronger than last week’s talks, however, it is probably fair to say that the downwards BLPG trend has stopped and we may see a modestly stronger freight market in coming days. More than anything else the Far East CFR market has remained strong and still pays spot premiums CFR cargo) above indexes. The overall sentiment from the Tokyo LPG seminar last week was probably more positive than expected as far as LPG supply and demand is concerned when producers/exporters and importers at large presented bigger figures than what keen listeners had anticipated. The recent fall in crude oil prices have taken down HFO prices as well and owners have enjoyed better voyage returns caused by the 10% reduction in bunker costs – that equals approximately 1 USD/ton nominally MEG/Far East at current market levels.
