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

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.
