Since its inception, this Forum has been a top-level link between the International and Chinese shipping, financial and business

communities by featuring industry leaders, debating latest market trends, and exploring business opportunities.

The Forum will explore cooperation and business opportunities in these areas and will also highlight the significance of

Shanghai as a Global Maritime Hub.

Shipping has been navigating the challenges of Covid-19 while ensuring the global supply chain remains uninterrupted.

topics such as:

Financing, Leasing and Private Equity

Dealing with Chinese Shipyards

Navigating in and out of Chinese Ports

The increasing international presence of Chinese Seafarers

Optimizing Cargo Trading with China

Exploring joint venture opportunities, optimizing technical & commercial ship management

Also, issues of critical significance to the industry such as availability of marine fuels, technology & digitalization, IMO 2020 and

decarbonization, and issues affecting the global economy and trade and the global commodity and energy markets.

Activity levels in the European market is picking up, and with less availability of the smaller vessels

freight levels seem to have bottomed-out. The larger pressurised vessels have gained traction due to an

active East Mediterranean and Black Sea market, and continuing exports from the usual Middle East

facilities. No change in the newbuilding orderbook with four pressure vessels for delivery in 2020 and

nine in 2021 that will join the international fleet.

Key Market Updates For Container

Shipping

By James Catlin -September 14, 2020

Quite some time ago, we noted the emergence of a

bifurcated container shipping market: One where

oversupply of ULCVs, which are confined to the

Asia/Euro routes, would keep larger container

shipping rates under pressure while the mid to

smaller classes would benefit from a shrinking

orderbook and a wider variety of trading options.

This proved to be the case for quite some time up till

the impact of C19. It was at that point where demand

destruction became the overriding market trend

taking down all classes in an indiscriminate fashion.

Idle capacity rates are a key gauge for

containerships and for a brief period we surpassed

those horrific 2016 levels.

Source: Clarksons SIN

But things appear to be rebounding nicely with

utilization rising sharply over the past months,

bringing with it rising rates.

Source: Clarksons SIN

In fact, the Shanghai to US West Coast freight rate

just hit a high not seen in well over a decade.

This is all welcome news, but is this trend

sustainable?

The objective of the Capital Link Maritime Indices is to enable investors, as well as all shipping market participants, to better track the performance of

listed shipping stocks individually, by sector or as an industry. Performance can be compared to other individual shipping stocks, to their sector, to the

broader market, as well as to the physical underlying shipping markets or other commodities. The Indices currently focus only on companies listed on

US Exchanges providing a homogeneous universe. They are calculated daily and are based on the market capitalization weighting of the stocks in

each index. In terms of historical data, the indices go back to January 2, 2005, thereby providing investors with historical performance.

There are seven indices in total; the Capital Link Maritime Index comprised of all 45 listed shipping stocks, and six Sector Indices, the CL Dry Bulk

Index, the CL Tanker Index, the CL Container Index, the CL LNG / LPG Index, the CL Mixed Fleet Index and the CL Maritime MLP Index.

The Index values are updated daily after the market close and can be accessed at or at or www.MaritimeIndices.com. They can also be found through

the Bloomberg page “CPLI” and Reuters.

Market Analysis

It is undoubtedly a period in which investment sentiment across the

whole spectrum of economic activity has been severely hit. A global

recession for 2020 is now a certainty, with the only question and debate

being as to its scale. At this point and in line with all this, global trade

has posted a massive decline this year, with estimates from the WTO

pointing to an annual drop of between 13% and 32%. Given these dire

circumstances it is of little surprise that newbuilding appetite for dry

bulkers has hit rock bottom, with the number of new contracts this year

having slumped to the second lowest figure on record for the past

decade.

Newbuilding activity plays a key role in describing future market

expectations and thus it has always been insightful to examine its trends

and patterns deeper. Nowadays, interest for new orders has been

limited, given the lack of confidence in the market. Putting down the

numbers, as at 1st September 2020, the total dry bulk orderbook

comprises of 614 vessels. This number is much lower than the

respective figures for September 2019 (870 units), 2018 (863 units),

2017 (664 units) as well as 2016 (1043 units). This drop is vastly

justified by the demand and supply balance that has been shaped by the

pandemic, but has also been in the making for some time prior to this.

During the period Jan – Aug 2020, 67 units were ordered, compared to

98 placed during the same period in 2019, 141 units in 2018 and 72

units 2017. However, is the longer-term outlook for this sector in line

with this decreasing trend noted in in the year so far in terms of

newbuilding orders?

To answer this question, we could further scrutinize the potential future

demand and supply fundamentals for this sector. Beginning with the

demand fundamentals, it is important to state that the majority of

forecasting models available are pointing to a significant rebound in

global trade from next year onwards. However, given where we are

today, it is likely that this rebound will just return things to pre-pandemic

levels. On the other hand, it may well signal the beginning of a longer-

term rising pattern for global trade. The average growth in total

merchandise trade from 2010 to 2019 stands at 2.8%, on par with what

we have seen for the average annual fleet capacity growth over the past

5 years. This shows that the two sides of this precarious balance are in

a close “confrontation”. Here it is interesting to disclose another two

crucial, though highly controversial points. The current orderbook to fleet

ratio is at around 5.7%, its lowest point for the past decade, while the

overage fleet (vessels above 20 years of age) to tal fleet ratio is

currently at 9.3%. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the FFA market

right now is pointing to a backwardation, with future BDI levels presently

being below what we are seeing in the spot market. At the same time

the cost-benefit analysis of placing a newbuilding order is heavily

depending on its price (though technical aspects also play a major role).

Current newbuilding prices are at historical lows, yet when stacked up

against the current second-hand prices, the investment opportunity

“glimmer” quickly fades away.

All in all, it is fair to note that the newbuilding market has been

considered for some time now as a threat to the shipping market

balance and a significantly risky investment decision. It will be

interesting to see if this belief starts to shift, possibly leading to a ramp

up in new orders during the final quarter of the year, or if the current

slump will continue, with shipbuilders shifting their hopes on a rebound

to be noted in 2021.

Dry Bulkers – Spot Market

SHIPPING MARKETS

Capesize - The downward correction continued for yet another week, with

the BCI 5TC figure losing a further 6.2%. The negative pressure was rather

attuned across all of the benchmark trade routes, given the uninspiring

trajectory in fixing activity. For the time being, the Atlantic region seems to

be the most under pressure, given the limited cargo availability and the fact

that the overall market was in clampdown throughout the past week. All-in-

all, despite the limited (so far) correction, the market is showing troubling

signs in terms of how strong the final quarter can prove to be.

Panamax - Things moved on the negative side here too, as of the past

week. The BPI TCA figure lost 10.9% of its value on a w-o-w basis, with

demand for tonnage across all main routes experiencing strong downward

pressure. Despite the good start to the week, the Pacific market lost

traction, with the uninspiring mineral trade putting pressure on freight rates.

Moreover, inline somehow with the bigger size segment, the Atlantic trade

was also problematic, given the relatively large amassed tonnage

availability in the region.

Supramax - The general negative pressure also hit the freight market here,

with the BSI TCA losing 3.7%. Things remain rather uninspiring, given the

lack of fresh enquiries, as well as, the limited activity in many of the

benchmark trades.

Handysize - In a very short period of time, the market has reached once

again a periodical “ceiling”, seemingly unable to push through at this point.

However, even with the small correction noted during the past week, the

market is still sustained at year-to-date high levels.

Tankers – Spot Market

SHIPPING MARKETS

Crude Oil Carriers - A week with mixed signals in the crude oil tanker

market, with downward pressure though prevailing, pushing the BDTI 2.9%

lower w-o-w. On the VL front, owners finally witnessed a rebound, with

increased demand from the MEG playing a pivotal role. The positive vibe

was not transferred to the other segments. Suezmax freight rates posted

an overall decline, sourced from the lack of fresh enquiries in key regions

such as the WAF and Black Sea/Med. The same negative pattern was also

seen in the Aframax front. Activity remained subdued in almost all key

trading routes with limited cargo being available. The largest losses were

noted on the BALTIC-UKC route, where WS rates fell by 13.8%.

Oil Products - On the DPP front, it was a week with no clear direction, as

gains were posted on some routes such as ARA-USG, with a healthier

demand-supply balance. On other routes though, earnings posted losses

due to limited available cargoes. On the CPP front, things were less

positive, with interest from the charterers side being weak, while several

units remained unfixed.

SHIPPING MARKETS

On the dry bulk side, a fair boost in the SnP market was noted as of the

past week, given the strong number of units changing hands. At this

point, we see movement across all main size segments, suggesting a

rather equally shared buying appetite in the sector. Notwithstanding this,

activity seems limited for more vintage units, for the time being at least.

All-in-all, on the back of a more bullish sentiment and freight returns

during the final quarter of the year, we may well see a more vivid SnP

market taking shape in the coming months.

On the tankers side, activity seems to be in a mediocre state over the

past few days or so. The uninspiring track from the side of earnings can

be seen as one of the main culprits for the softened appetite of late.

During the past week, we saw volumes concentrated on the medium to

smaller size units, as well as, of age older that 15 years. For the coming

period, a lot will depend on how realized returns respond as we

approach the end of the year.
