What is 'outsized losses' and will it wipe out NOL profit for 2013 ?
Ship Ahoy: NOL veers towards profits recovery in 2014 The worst may be over. According to CIMB, despite the likelihood of outsized losses in 4Q13 following a dramatic fall in spot rates over the past few months, the worst may be over for Neptune Orient Lines and a brighter year lies ahead in 2014. Here's more from CIMB: By end-2014, NOL would have completed the vast majority of its vessel charters that were entered into in the pre-GFC days. As a result, we believe the group will largely achieve its desired cost base next year, and we expect it to turn a small profit of less than 1% net margin. Despite expectations of better earnings in 2014, its near-term share price upside will likely be capped by the possibility of outsized losses in 4Q13. We recommend investors stay on the sidelines for now. |

don need to worry so much, government had poured in US $4Billion to renew fleet to more competitive cost model. So now is the question  on how much transpacific trade can help ship to shed cost and improve profit margin since half of group revenue come from US. Last year is changing the fleet for asia - Europe this year it is the turn for transpacific. Expect further  5-8% reduction in operating cost.  | ||||

At least expecting NOL to be profitable for the full year and continue to see cost reduction and improving operating efficiency and cash management.
Hope to will stay above 1.065 henceforth as that's when it cuts above its 20d and 50d MA while its 100d MA is above 1.075.

US 3Q GDP revised upward from 3.6 to 4.1. If the economy continue it upward momentum , we could be in a bull market for shipping stocks in 2014 due to revived consumers demands from US . Ship fortune is heavily tied to US economy, when US good ship good. But don expect too much fron ship 4Q result since rate had been fixed to the low rate for the entire 013 contracts. What count is the  rate  ship get in next May contract renewal.

Your daily insight into the shipping world Shipping confidence at three year high: Moore Stephens By Charlie Bartlett from London Moore Stephens surveys have found that overall confidence levels in the shipping industry are at their highest in over three years, buoyed by ?encouraging? freight rates. November 2013 saw the average confidence level rise to 6.1 out of 10, the highest since the 6.2 recorded in August 2010. However, increases were only demonstrated by owners, from an average of 5.8 in the August 2013 survey to 6.2 in November. Confidence among managers dropped from 6.2 to 6.1, and charterer confidence fell from 6.3 to 5.7. Respondents also showed a wavering of confidence in Asia, dropping from 6.1 to 5.9, compared with Europe, which exhibited a jump from 5.9 to 6.1, despite a previous survey in which one respondent remarked that ?the best people now are going to Singapore instead of coming to London.? Confidence in North America, meanwhile, increased dramatically from 6.0 to 6.6. ?There is, for the first time in a long while, a general feeling of optimism,? one respondent noted. ?The economic indicators, both small and large, all over the world, are pointing in the direction of recovery. We cannot expect it to reach the same levels as in 2007/2008, but a sustainable level of confidence is much better than skyrocketing markets because the higher you climb the lower you might fall.? Other positive observations from those surveyed included ?some good signs of?a growing global economy, including the US and the EU? ?[growth] in Asia, and in Brazil and Russia? and ?an increase in the use of gas as an alternative energy source, with many countries developing infrastructure and facilities to facilitate distribution.? More sceptical responses included concern regarding excess shipbuilding capacity ?which, coupled with the entry of new investors, will lead to a continuation in the current oversupply of tonnage and low rates?. One respondent wrote: ?We need to convince owners to stop building ships, especially tankers.? One respondent even claimed: ?All non-operator-owned container ships need to be removed from the market, so that oversupply can be corrected.? Moore Stephens shipping partner, Richard Greiner called the results ?A clear indication that [markets] are perceived to be improving?: ?The findings of this latest survey provide more good news for the shipping industry. It is now 15 months since we recorded a decline in shipping confidence. There is an old adage which says that confidence is contagious. If that is true, shipping certainly seems to have caught the bug.? |

PUBLISHED DECEMBER 20, 2013 A merry, lucrative, 'best since crisis' Christmas for retailers in Europe PRINT |EMAIL THIS ARTICLE Dare to buy: Optimism in Spain, where consumer confidence last month reached its highest level since late 2011, has prompted retailers to hire 5 per cent more staff than last Christmas. - PHOTO: REUTERS [BERLIN] Retailers in Europe are predicting their best Christmas since the financial crisis, though optimism is laced with caution in the face of rising e-commerce and early discounting in a fragile economic recovery. Record unemployment and shrinking disposable incomes over the past few years have kept the brake on consumer spending, which generates about two thirds of gross domestic product. But retailers are drawing confidence from signs of improving shopper sentiment as they negotiate the key Christmas period. The average family budget for Christmas gifts across Europe should rise this year for the first time since 2008, gaining 0.7 per cent to about 450 euros (S$779), though it remains below pre-crisis levels, a survey by consultants Deloitte showed. The biggest gain is expected in Germany, with average spending up 6.7 per cent in Europe's biggest economy. Spanish families, despite unemployment still at 26 per cent, are forecast to lift festive spending by one per cent on last year, after a 4 per cent decline in 2012, but still-gloomy Greece, Italy and Portugal are expected to remain in negative territory.
