Not sure if NOL is into breadbulk an heavylift ocean cargo but overall improvement will ultimately aids freight rates recovery.
Breakbulk, Heavy-Lift Market Poised for Resurgence Peter T. Leach, Senior Editor | Jan 22, 2014 10:48AM EST The market for breakbulk and heavy-lift ocean cargo is emerging from the doldrums it experienced last year. Although a backlog of global industrial projects carried the heavy-lift sector through 2012 and construction of new pipelines and wind farms in the U.S. filled inbound multipurpose breakbulk vessels that year, demand largely dried up in 2013. But the picture is brightening, and the market is positioned for a significant recovery in 2014 and 2015. ?2013 was a lackluster year,? said Bob Sappio, president and CEO of Rickmers Group in the Americas. ?While it?s probably not boom time yet, what has gotten everybody so excited is the outlook for 2014 and beyond.? The excitement in the project cargo business is the sheer number of chemical, petrochemical, refining and other projects being planned for construction along the Gulf Coast from New Orleans to the Mexican border. ?The number of projects, whether ammonia plants or refineries or power plants, is monumental,? Sappio said. That?s on the coast alone, and doesn?t include all the breakbulk and heavy-lift cargo that will move through Gulf ports destined for energy-related projects being built in Montana and the Dakotas to handle the boom in natural gas fields being developed by hydraulic fracturing. Houston is at the center of all the new developments. ?It?s truly boom time here in Texas,? said Len Waterworth, executive director of the Port of Houston Authority. Energy and petrochemical companies have announced plans to invest $35 billion in plants lining the banks of the 52-mile Houston Ship Channel and may invest almost twice that as the gas boom develops further. Many of the investments are geared to retrofit those plants, which once processed petroleum imports for the domestic U.S. market, to refine domestic natural gas into products for export. ?The industry is excited about the import of components, the machinery and the modules needed to build these refineries,? Sappio said. ?If you talk to anyone, like GE or the forwarders, they are all bullish about 2014 and beyond.? Heavy-lift carriers also are benefiting from investments by foreign steelmakers in the U.S., including Luxembourg-based Arcelor Mittal, which in November agreed to acquire the ThyssenKrupp plant in Alabama, and India?s Tata Steel, which is building a plant in the U.S. to take advantage of cheap natural gas. Tianjin Pipeline, the biggest Chinese investment in the U.S., has started construction on the first phase of a $1.3 billion plant in Corpus Christi, Texas, to build steel pipes for oil and gas pipelines. Beyond the U.S., the outlook for the global project cargo market also appears to be picking up. Offshore oil fields are being developed in Mozambique. New projects are under way in Southeast Asia and South America. Although the market for breakbulk cargo has dwindled in countries such as Brazil, which imposes high protectionist taxes on imported steel and forest products, this has spurred investment by global steelmakers to build plants in the markets they serve. The timing for construction of all these projects comes as the breakbulk and heavy-lift carriers come to the end of the multipurpose vessel orders they placed in happier times, when it looked like global projects would keep these new vessels filled. ?When you put that bullish demand projection against what it looks like in the supply of MPVs, all of a sudden from a ship operator?s perspective things are looking pretty good,? Sappio said. The multipurpose vessel orderbook begins to decline precipitously in 2014 and 2015, so as demand increases, fewer new vessels are being delivered. Supply and demand will come into equilibrium in the latter half of 2014, and after 2014 vessel space may not be enough to meet demand for all these new projects. That will lift freight rates, which have been flat to down over the last year and plunged many ship operators into the red. ?Everybody is getting creamed right now from an earnings standpoint on the breakbulk side,? Sappio said. ?The cost of fuel is still relatively high, and up until now demand has been anemic and there have been plenty of ships.? Rates may continue to be under pressure at the beginning of the year, but in the second half when volume accelerates and delivery of new multipurpose vessels tails off, the sector will recover more rapidly than others. ?Breakbulk people want to make money again, so they are going to wait a while before they start ordering,? Sappio said. ?Hopefully, before the industry begins to order again, everybody will allow rates to stabilize and get healthy again. They will allow demand to be firmly in place.? Contact Peter T.

JOC ? Maritime News ? International Freight Shipping
JOC Economist: Growth in US Containerized Imports to Rise in 2014 Bill Mongelluzzo, Senior Editor | Jan 17, 2014 3:37PM EST U.S. containerized imports are projected to increase 6 percent in 2014, up from 3.5 percent growth in 2013, according to Journal of Commerce economist Mario Moreno. Moreno told a JOC webcast on the maritime industry Thursday that the strong growth in imports will be led by auto parts, footwear and apparel ? all of which are high-volume cargoes that move by sea. Containerized exports, however, are projected to grow only modestly as Europe contends with fiscal austerity measures and the economies of developing nations experience less robust growth. Exports are projected to increase 2 percent this year, up marginally from the estimated export growth of 1.9 percent in 2013. Nevertheless, U.S. containerized imports and exports are expected to set new records in 2014, indicating that the worst effects of the 2008-09 global economic recession are finally over. Year-over-year percent change in U.S. containerized imports, 2009-2014 Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation, also sees strong import growth this year, although the retailers group is not quite as bullish as Moreno. Gold projects import growth of 3.7 percent in 2014. Holiday sales helped retailers end 2013 on a happy note. Gold said holiday sales increased an estimated 3.9 percent over the holiday period of 2012, with online sales increasing 13 to 15 percent. Retailers, though positive about growth prospects in 2014, will nevertheless face a number of economic and operational challenges. Consumer confidence and jobs creation remain a drag on growth, while legislative and regulatory uncertainties hang over the transportation industry. The evolving chassis management regime could result in equipment dislocations and shortages, and regulatory changes including federal hours of service limitations for drivers and localized clean-truck requirements could result in truck capacity shortages. Retailers are still waiting to see what impact the formation of the P3 Network involving Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM ? the three largest container lines in the world ? will have on rates and service, Gold said. The alliance will begin operations later this year if it receives regulatory approval in the U.S., Europe and China. The U.S. housing industry was a driver of growth in 2013 as existing home sales reached 420,000 units, Moreno said. Increased home sales have a direct correlation to increased imports of furniture, which is the highest-volume containerized import. After eight strong months of existing home sales in 2013, sales dropped in September, October and November. That led to a decline in furniture imports of 5 percent in November and 1 percent in December. Moreno expects home sales to grow more modestly in 2014, due to low inventory and rising mortgage rates. On the other hand, the nation?s ?resilient manufacturing sector? will add jobs and increase production in 2014, especially in the auto sector, Moreno said. The industry is forecasting total sales of 16.6 million autos and light trucks, which will result in increased imports of auto parts. Auto parts are the second largest import category, accounting for 4.5 percent total containerized imports. Contact Bill Mongelluzzo at [email protected] and follow him at twitter.com/billmongelluzzo.

While freight rate from Shanghai to US increases 3 weeks in a row that has not happened since 2012 for more than 2 weeks in a row, the Asia-Europe is trying to hold on to their gain from last GRI. Nonetheless, the rates re generally 137%-150% higher than 3 mths ago. There should be good sign that rates may be holding up and likely trend even higher. The key lies in demand and Europe's sustainable recovery and improved global trade for the impetus.
SCFI: Asia-to-Europe Spot Container Rates Erode JOC Staff | Jan 21, 2014 11:40AM EST Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, North Europe, week ending Jan. 17, 2014 Spot container rates from Asia to northern European and Mediterranean ports measured by the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index fell for a second straight week in the week of Jan. 17, following jumps of more than $200 in the trade lane because of a general rate increase. Lanes have already seen increases erode by more than half of what they gained in the week of Jan. 3. "Carriers could be starting to get very nervous that rates are falling at this pace already, amidst the rush of sailings ahead of Chinese New Year alongside a flurry of blank sailings," said Michael Rainsford, freight trader for Morgan Stanley Commodities, in an interview with the JOC. "While no announcements have yet been made about the next GRI on the Asia-Europe trade, a decline of this magnitude does increase the probability that carriers will have to announce something for March if not before. Failing this, rates will succumb to fundamentals, and assuming the return of weekly schedules to their normal state, this will not be pretty for carriers." The spot rate from Shanghai to northern European ports for the week ending Jan. 17 slipped 4.2 percent from the week before, down to $1,641 per TEU. Rates have lost $124 of the $254 increase achieved in the week of Jan. 3. However, rates are still up nearly 150 percent or $980 from the week of October 18, three months ago. The current SCFI rate to northern Europe is 21.6 percent above where it was at the same point in 2012. Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, Mediterranean, week ending Jan. 17, 2014 The spot rate from Shanghai to Mediterranean ports declined 4.3 percent from the week before to $1,670 per TEU, according to the latest SCFI data issued by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange. Rates have lost $121 of the $221 increase achieved in the week of Jan. 3. However, rates are still up 137 percent or $965 from the week of October 18, three months ago. The SCFI to the Mediterranean index is up 27.4 percent year-over-year. "In conversation with our customers that are actively trading container derivatives today, a large number have been let down by their carriers in recent weeks on pre-agreed contract rates. Shippers and NVOCCs, in the belief that they had secured space at an attractive rate for the 2014 period, were being told that carriers simply cannot move their freight at the contract price, as spot prices are buoyant and ships are full. Without sounding like broken record, this behaviour is inevitable. Carriers hold all of the cards in a market that can absorb rate increases and where the contracting mechanism does not have to be honored and rarely legally binding in nature. Those customers that are paying index rates today having fixed their net price in via a hedge are laughing. Regardless of how high spot rates go, the shipper's boxes will load as they have the power to pay index/spot on the physical, which will be compensated by their hedge," Rainsford said. "The February and March 2014 forward prices for Asia-Europe are actively trading around the levels $1,400 per TEU and $1,325 per TEU, respectively," he added. "While discounted to spot rates, these levels are proving very appealing to carriers that could be realizing that rates rarely stay around these levels for long. If the market turns sour, the decline is rapid and unstoppable. Being able to give customers the chance to pay index in a falling market while protecting revenues at these prices is attractive going into the months ahead." |

SCFI: Shanghai-to-US Spot Rates See Third Straight Increase
JOC Staff | Jan 21, 2014 11:19AM EST Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, U.S. West Coast, week ending Jan. 17, 2014 Spot container rates from Asia to the U.S. East and West Coasts, as measured by the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, increased for a third straight week in the week ending Jan. 17. Consecutive increases have not extended past two weeks since 2012. The second round of the two-stage rate general rate increase proposed by the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement took effect on Jan. 15 in Asia-U.S. lanes. Carriers including MOL, Evergreen, Cosco Container Lines and U.S. Lines adopted the proposed increase of $300 per FEU in the Asia-to-U.S. trade lanes. Shanghai Containerized Freight Index, U.S. East Coast, week ending Jan. 17, 2014 The spot rate from Shanghai to the U.S. West Coast jumped 13.1 percent, or $245 from last week to $2,111 per FEU, according to SCFI data issued by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange. This is the highest rate in this lane since early July 2013. During the past three weeks, the rate has increased $308 per FEU. Despite being two weeks ahead of an early Chinese New Year, the spot rate in the week ending Jan. 17 is still 16.2 percent below the level in the same week last year, when the rate stood at $2,520. The spot rate to the U.S. East Coast climbed 6.6 percent, or $213 per FEU, to $3,430 in the week ending Jan. 17. This is the highest rate level since the week of Aug. 16, 2013. The rate is up $323 over the past three weeks. Despite the increase, the current rate remains down 6.5 percent year-over-year, from $3,670 one year ago. Drewry?s benchmark rate for shipping from Hong Kong to Los Angeles climbed $200 in the week of Jan. 15, after remaining unchanged for three weeks. It rose to $2,086. |
