The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) gained significantly by 20% (on a lower base) post Chinese New Year holidays to 910. However, rates are expected to remain weak due to poor offtake in cargo. The Baltic Capesize Index remained flattish for the month but the average index declined~9% on an MoM basis. Smaller size vessel indices showed vigour with Baltic Panamax, Supramax and Handymax index gaining 18.8%, 23.6% and 25.5%, respectively The Clean Tanker Index (BCTI) remained flattish on an MoM basis at around 691. However, the Dirty Tanker Index (BDTI) declined ~5.2% in March 2013. VLCC charter rates (TCY) turned positive albeit at a significantly lower level of 357. Suezmax and Aframax levels also convalesced to 6472 and 9422 levels, up 43% and 19%, respectively, on an MoM basis LPG rates remained flattish for smaller segment vessels (up to MGC-TC 35000 cbm) but VLGC rates softened up to 2% MoM. LGC segment vessel rates firmed up ~1% MoM Utilisation levels for the offshore segment remained under pressure with drillship utilisation declining 2%, semi-sub 1% and jack-up remaining flattish

Outlook Dry bulkers The dry bulk segment continued to reel under pressure amid poor off-take of iron-ore from China. As iron-ore prices remain relatively high, steel mills in China remain deterrent to restocking putting further pressure on cargo demand. Chinese imports from top four major importers continue to decline dashing hopes of revival anytime soon. Large vessel charter rates persistently remain under pressure. However, the smaller segment continues to do well due to grain cargo from Brazil. In the near term, smaller vessel segment charter rates are expected to remain range bound whereas larger vessel rates will continue to remain stressed. On the capacity supply front, we see unprecedented capacity addition in the dry bulk segment to the tune of 6.3 million dwt or 29 Capesize over the past month for 2015 delivery, taking the total order book for dry bulk to 99 million dwt for 2015. This is expected to dash any hope of revival in the dry bulk segment post 2015 if the cargo demand remains muted. Tanker VLCC charter rates revived post plummeting in February 2013. The recovery was muted on the back of exacerbating demand from the US and lower production from Middle Eastern companies. However, Suezmax and Aframax rates held steady due to stable demand from Mediterranean and Caribbean region. LPG carriers VLGC rates snapped their gain and softened ~2% whereas the LGC segment gained ~1% MoM. However, lower segment vessels rates remained flattish. LPG carrier rates are expected to remain range bound in the near term. Offshore vessels Drill-ship utilisation in the offshore vessels segment declined 200 bps to 89% whereas Jack-up and semi-sub rates remained flattish at 86% and 91%, respectively. Charter rates in the segment are expected to remain flattish in the short to medium term.

The VLCC TCY rates recovered marginally in March 2013. VLCC demand was muted due to a decline in tonnage-mile demand on account of maintenance in US refineries and pick-up in domestic production. China is expected to ramp up its refining capacity and is anticipated to be a prime mover for crude demand in future. However, in the short-term, the VLCC segment is expected to be in pain. Smaller vessels demand and supply are well poised and rates are expected to be range bound. On the capacity front, 3 million dwt was added to the global fleet in March 2013 taking the total order-book to 46.6 million dwt. Scrapping in the segment remained slightly muted with ~0.6 million tonnes (MT) going for scrapping in March 2013. Softening of crude demand coupled with fairly strong addition of capacity acts as a double whammy for the segment culling scope for any significant rate hike in the near term.

Iron ore inventory in China continued its decline remaining below the critical level of 70 MT for three straight months. With iron ore price at around $136/tonne, steel plants are keeping away from restocking. Consequently, cargo offtake is muted putting pressure on charter rates

Total Deliveries (Tankers & Drybulk) Total Orderbook (Tankers & Drybulk)
The table shows the rise in total deliveries vis--vis decline in new orders and depletion of pending order book Column B shows the trend of new orders during 2001-11. Average new orders during 2001-05 were ~52 million dwt, which got ramped up significantly to 159 million dwt over 2006-08 Column A displays the trend of total deliveries over 200111. The average delivery during 2001-06 in the tanker and dry bulk segment was 43 million dwt, which increased significantly to 97 million dwt in 2007-11 due to the enormous ordering that was done over 2006-08 (dotted box) However, subsequently with the global economic slump in late 2008 and consequent decline in demand and day charter rates, fresh enquiries and ordering declined considerably. The shipbuilding industry is currently battling dual issues of drying order book and delay/cancellations of pending orders On the deliveries front; 141 million dwt has been added to the world fleet in CY12 with dry bulk absorbing 106 million dwt and tankers 35 million dwt. For the rest of CY13, ~85 million dwt is expected to join the global fleet. Of this, dry bulk is expected to add 62 million dwt and tanker 23 million dwt. For March 2013, 6.3 million dwt in the dry bulk segment and 3 million dwt in the tanker segment have been added to the world fleet Cumulative new order to the tune of 12 million dwt was recorded in tankers and dry bulk till February 2013 with break-up of 6 million dwt in dry bulk and 6 million dwt in tanker Total pending order book (till CY15) is still strong with ~146 million dwt yet to be delivered. The order book break up at the end of February 2013 stands at 99.0 million dwt for dry bulk carriers and 46.6 million dwt for tankers
