WEEKLY SHIPPING MARKET

REPORT WEEK 6
WEEK 6 (6th February to 12th February 2016)

Market Overview

Bulkers
For one more week Dry Bulk market follow the negative trend of the last months. Situation has been affected as well from
Chinese New Year holidays which put the market in slower rhythms. Nevertheless there are still some buyers willing to
acquire younger tonnages at lower price levels, taking advantage of the finance pressured sellers.
M/V Spring Zephyr (181k dwt, 2010 Blt, Imabari) sold at $21,5 mill to Messrs Carval Investors price which remain in line with
last week's sale of one year younger capesize M/V Obelix (181k dwt, 2011 Blt Imabari) at $22,5 mill to Messrs Alpha
Bulkers. Owners of M/V Bulk Singapore (177k dwt, 2005 Blt Namura) decided to withdraw her from the market and focus on
the sale of their 2006 Blt Capesize Bulker M/V Shin Sho (177k dwt, 2006 Blt Mitsui). It is remarkable to emphasize on the sale
of M/V Falcon Trader II (54,9k dwt, 2009 Blt Oshima) which was committed at $7,8 mill while 2 years older M/V Federal
Baffin (55k, 2007 Blt Oshima) sold 1 week before at similar levels.

Tankers
On the Tanker sector s&p activity was quite with few sales being reported. Lr1's M/T Lorelei & M/T La Boheme (73k dwt,
2007 blt Stx S. Korea) committed to Greek buyers at a price of $28 mill creating a new benchmark in the sector. Understand
that M/T Ocean Mare (160k, 2006 blt Namura) invited offers on Monday. According to rumors she is still negotiated at a
price in the region of high $20's. While M/T Bm Bonanza (105k Dwt / 2007 Blt Sumitomo) and M/T Isis ( 116k dwt, 2007 Blt
Universal) are still for sale, it will be interesting to see the new benchmark for 9-10 years old Aframaxes.
Furthermore one more Aframax was placed for sale M/T Dubai Attraction - (115k dwt / Blt 2011 Hanjin S. Korea) adding one
more in the growing list of Aframaxes for sale.

levels at region $220 - $240 per ldt. Understand that about 25 Capesize Bulkers and 50 Panamaxes have been demolished
since the begging of the year.

Dry Bulk Chartering


Friday has arrived, Golden Week festivities are closing to an end and shipping professionals around
the world are slowly but surely preparing themselves for the upcoming weekend. Week 6 signed off
with positive signs(or maybe not?),as for the first time since December 24th, 2015, the Baltic Dry
Index scaled by 1 point to 291 points. Panamax ECSA/Feast grains activity looks certain to blame for
this (as February marks the beginning of the harvest season for the South American exporting
countries) and the related fixtures are here to prove it, their majority being concluded in the
mid/upper usd 6,000s plus usd150/175,000 ballast bonuses.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the rest of the market where the downward trend
continues, an ongoing result of Chinas trepid demand for imported raw materials and the oversupply
of tonnage. Capesize iron ore activity is back on the books after the festivities, yet the 4 mining
majors (Vale, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals Group) continue to call the shots, paying
usd 2.85 pmt fioex West Australias Pilbara region ports and usd 5.60 pmt fioex Brazils Tubarao port
to North Chinas port of Qingdao, all for end February dates.
Two index-linked period fixtures also surfaced today. Pacific Panamax fixtures are being reported in
the low usd 3,000s to mid usd 2,000s range (always subject to delivery point and destination),
whereas Supramax activity continues to revolve around Indonesian coal, with APS rates ranging
fromusd1,500 to usd3,000 daily into South East Asian countries, China and India. Atlantic activity saw
a number of fronthaul Ultramax fixtures being concluded in the usd mid 6,000s range ex US Gulf and
usd 7,000 plus a usd 70,000 ballast bonus ex ECSA, both with Far East redelivery. Mild activity on the
Handysize segment, with fixtures ex Black Sea being reported in the low usd 1,000s and usd 2,000 for
Continent and Spanish Mediterranean destinations respectively
