Don't ignore fleet age and new market dynamics, says Dorian

LPG

Older vessels can make room for new, and cargo demand is rising,

says one of the world's leading VLGC owners. The very large gas

carrier fleet includes more than 40 vessels over 20 years old, which

would be ideal candidates to be displaced if the influx of new

tonnage is not completely absorbed by increased demand, according

to leading VLGC owner Dorian LPG.

IN THE NEWS

Contributed by

Barry Parker Barry Parker is a financial writer and

analyst. His articles appear in a number of

prominent maritime periodicals including

Lloyds List, Fairplay, Seatrade, and

Maritime Executive and Capital Link

Shipping.

New York Maritime Inc. (NYMAR) hosted a session billed as “The Oracles

of shipping: A look at 2016”. kicking off its schedule of events for the new

year. A quick brush-up on Greek lore suggests that the wisdom imparted

by the ancient Greek oracles, most notably from Delphi, required some

parsing; ie it was not “actionable” at the outset. So it goes with NYMAR;

there was a lot of knowledge on the panel, but some review and

interpretation is necessary the wisdom of NYMAR’s sages may need

further evaluation, and interpretation. Like everything with shipping, there

are nuances. What a great event though. The investment bank Jefferies

provided both the venue, and the moderator- shipping banker Jeff Pribor.

The panel of Oracles covered the entire waterfront- ranging from drybulk,

tankers, containers, banking with a splash of offshore oil and marine

insurance.

Bob Burke, the Chief Executive Officer of Ridgebury Tankers, was looking

ahead to clear sailing in both the crude and product tanker sectors, which

he described as “inter-related”, “unless the orderbook is overheating.” He

talked about the entire oil distribution system being clogged, noting that

1.5 million barrels/ day of crude oil production in excess of demand must

be stored, including on tankers. The lifting of the Iranian embargo may

have been mentioned- if so, for just a millisecond and I missed it- its

possible impacts are presently confounding tanker market watchers as

the hires have backed down. There’s uncertainty concerning cargo flows;

how fast will Iran ramp up (some experts suggest that they can get to

500,000 barrels/ day quickly)? And then we have that Iranian tanker fleet-

will those vessels come onto the spot market, and if so, what exactly is

their deliverability? Or, will those holding barrels in storage continue to

hold them? We invited opinions on the Iran situation from experts on

economics and statistics related to vessels; nothing heard back. By the

way, Mr. Burke continues to look for a low oil price throughout 2016; he

was at the low end of the range in a poll of the Oracles on the likely oil

price at end 2016; guesses ranged from $25/barrel to $60/barrel. Mr.

Burke also opined on the newly allowed U.S. crude oil exports, saying that

with they would bring no benefit to the tanker market right now- with the

price of U.S. oil (West Texas Intermediate) at parity with the worldwide

market (Brent oil). Based on this view, the spread would probably not

deviate too far from parity- so if this line of Oracling is correct- don’t look

for headlines in the shipping media, or the mainstream media, on the topic

of U.S. crude exports.

A U.S. Merchant Marine Academy classmate of Bob Burke’s, maritime

lawyer Peter McLauchlan, partner in the Houston law office of Gardere

Wynne & Sewell LLP, talked about the energy space, where there is

something like “$70 billion of active bankruptcy filings” as participants in

all aspects of production, including the offshore energy sector, restructure.

It was not all doom and gloom. When talking about big offshore projects

(such as those undertaken by the energy majors in the Gulf of Mexico), he

acknowledged that “…multi-year projects just don’t stop.” The panel also

included insurance representative Joe Hughes, from the Shipowners

Claims Bureau- the managers of the American Club (based downtown),

who talked about insurance being “…a bright spot for shipowners”- with

relatively benign increases in recent years.

Kevin Kennedy, another classmate of Burke’s from Kings Point (and later

a colleague at GE Capital, where Burke worked prior to striking out on his

own) who is now Managing Director of container shipping fund packager

MC Seamax, described a gloomy outlook for the container sector, which

he described as “driven by oversupply”. Mr. Kennedy, who was

Shipping Oracles event- an overview

previously the CFO at Seaspan, waxed enthusiastic on shipowners who

charter vessels out…”the liners generally pay”. He noted a bifurcation

among listed companies, with dividends to shareholders being sustained

by some, in spite of the weak markets.

The Oracles also delved heavily into ship finance, which was what much

of NYMAR ‘s membership, heavily involved in finance and capital raising,

had really come to hear. Banker Martin Lunder, from Nordea, emphasized

his bank’s participation in a large tanker financing, but acknowledged that

“…we’ll be busy with amendments and waivers…” when it comes to

drybulk, a sector clearly in trouble. The question of new capital sources

for shipping is often discussed at such venues as the industry has been

taking $100 billion of new debt each year, according to his numbers. Mr.

Lunder said that Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) have filled part of the

funding vacuum as shipping banks have pulled back; The panelists then

discussed the impact of professional investors owning ships; Kevin

Kennedy noted much more liquid markets for trading debt than previously

(indeed such liquidity has been the cornerstone of various “loan to own”

schemes that have enabled a number of once high flyers to restructure,

and live to fight another day, albeit with different owners).

Distressed selling of assets is another topic that comes up frequently at

such events. The moderator, Jeff Pribor , postulated what might happen

in the realm of asset sales, where non-emotional private equity investors

are involved. Unlike family businesses, the traditional model for shipping

company ownership, professional investors might not be positioning for

the next cycle (unlike closely owned companies which will wait out bad

markets before handing off the helm to the next generation). Lambros

Papaeconomou, an excellent analyst and, these days, a top shipping

journalist, implored companies to recognize their problems, and then

suggested that: “Chapter 11 is not the worst thing…” for companies that

are restructuring their debt.

Hamish Norton, President of Star Bulk Carriers (and previously a shipping

banker at Jefferies) summarized drybulk with a well known Monty Python

skit that evokes images of the Black Death, on a video clip. No

Powerpoints for this group! After the chants of “…almost dead…” Mr.

Norton added that the market is as bad as Mr. Petros Pappas (a longtime

shipping man, now the Chairman at Star Bulk, a listed entity) can

remember.

So, what to make of the Oracles, and all the folks in the standing room

only conference room who came to listen to them? Yogi Berra quotes, like

difficulties forecasting the future, come quickly to mind. But the evening

was about much more than predicting oil prices (there was some of that)

and levels of the Baltic Dry Index. New York has a vibrant community of

finance, legal and other specialists who are devoted to maritime

businesses. But, despite adversity plaguing parts of the market (not all),

the culture is “half full”, rather than half empty, full of clever professionals

who can see the positives in the murky atmosphere that true Oracles must

breath from, and turn them into real action.

Weekly Market Report Market Analysis

With the big news this weekend being the lifting of Iran’s international

sanctions, the crude oil market was spooked by the prospects of further

supply glut hitting the scene, while many see this 12 year low in crude oil

prices being only a small chapter in the upcoming developments to be

noted over the course of the year.

During the course of the past 12 months, crude oil supply brought about

mainly by the decision by OPEC members has created one of the

biggest and longest price drops in the history of crude oil trading. This

strategy, which has been in part to help OPEC members regain market

share, has come at a great cost and despite all efforts many of the

targeted high priced oil producers continue to operate. It is by no

coincidence that the U.S. announced that it would lift its ban on oil

exports, allowing its excess production from shale oil to spill over to

other markets.

In the midst of all this OPEC now forecasts that oil supply from non-

member countries will post a decline of 660,000 barrels per day within

2016 (almost double its previous forecast) as the new price reality of

below US$ 30 a barrel (the price fell to US$28 a barrel which is the

lowest recorded since 2003) squeezes ever more producers out of

competition. Yet many in the market see this as only a start to further

price drops, with many quoting a new price norm of around US$ 20 per

barrel. This in part will surely be supported by the supply impact of

500,000 bpd coming into play within 2016. At the same time estimates

for demand within 2016 is set to be close to the 1.26 million bpd, a

notable slowdown from the 1.54 million bpd estimated for 2015.

All this turns up the heat on most of these OPEC member countries

many of which have seen a large chunk of their cash reserves sapped

and most of their generous welfare systems (most notably in recent

news reports the situation faced by Venezuela). Saudi Arabia as well as

the rest of the five Gulf Cooperation Council members have announced

that they are preparing to announce considerable spending cuts in their

annual government budgets, while many expect an even tougher year in

terms of their earnings. All this points to extended tensions that will arise

during the next biannual meeting of the OPEC members, while it will be

hard to ascertain the true success of their original decision back in 2014.

What is becoming ever certain now is that it will be hard to head back to

the hay days of US$ 80-140 per barrel, while the recent advancements

in oil production brought about by the technologies behind shale oil has

meant that production is more flexible to price changes then ever before.

The big challenge moving forward will be a demand one, with strategic

reserves by most countries having peaked to some of their highest

levels ever, it is difficult to see were all this new excess supply will be

absorbed. What’s more is that despite the fact that energy commodity

prices have dipped by so much, there is still plentiful efforts being put on

new technologies which provide ever higher efficiencies in consumption,

leaving all to believe that we will likely see a stagnation in demand over

the coming years. This stagnation is by no means limited to the OECD

economies but is likely to effect the fast paced emerging economies as

well, as they leapfrog straight from their low oil consumption per capita

onto oil consumption dictated by energy efficient technologies which are

equally available. After all, all new cars purchased in China or India are,

if not on par, of almost equal energy efficiency ratings as the ones being

bought in the U.S. and Europe.

Dry Bulkers – Spot Market

SHIPPING MARKETS

Capesize – Despite the poor market conditions there seems to be still

plenty to lose under the current market affairs, with great losses noted on

all routes while some even reached half their quoted rate from a week prior.

Things have now gotten into “dire” territory and talks of lay up have flared

across the market once more.

Panamax - Despite reporting of good fixing volumes in most areas, there

was little to be done to stop the downward trend that has become the

defacto state of the market since the final quarter of 2015. The Atlantic

basin continued to push down hard with charterers having seemingly

pushed rates to below US$ 3,000pd for Atlantic round voyages.

Supramax - Here too we noted a good level of activity being seen this

week though the poor sentiment that has swept across the sector over the

past couple of months leaves owners little bargaining power, even under

cases of improved demand. Charterers have bee noted to take a hard

stance over the past month, often dropping their offered rates within a

couple of minutes in favor of ever lower rates.

Handysize - Handies were able to hold their position slightly better the

most of the other size segments in the dry bulk space, though here to the

overall trend was a downward one. Improved activity helped slow down the

drop while in parts of the Atlantic basin it was even able to support a slight

upward revision week-on-week.

Tankers – Spot Market

SHIPPING MARKETS

Crude Oil Carriers - It seems as though the recent drop in crude oil prices

has caused a bit of a disturbance in the market for crude oil tankers, with

demand dropping notably during the past couple of days. Although this may

well have been a temporary shock influenced in part by the lifting of the

sanctions on Iran, there has started to emerge a sense that the January

program may well fall short on expectations keeping these new downward

revised figures in place over the next two weeks give or take.

Oil Products - On the basis of mixed emotions in the crude oil space,

product tankers have also felt a halt in their previous upward momentum,

with demand slowing down this week giving a sense that the market held

over flat in terms of given rates. However with the given repositioning that

has been reported in the market this past week, expectations are that

things may turn around soon possibly giving ample room for another round

of freight rate improvements over the coming weeks.

On the dry bulk side, there was a fair amount of activity being reported in

the capesize sector, with a number of deals indicating to another

softening in prices. With talks now mounting in terms of putting up

tonnage for cold lay-up, it looks as though things are set to get even

tougher over the coming days with further price drops now clearly in

sight.

On the tanker side, there was a slight calm with lower then average

volume seen in reported transactions, while there still seems to be a

strong holding for the firm prices to continue. Freight rates may have

stumbled slightly this week, yet it looks as though there is still firm

demand out there for tonnage. Expectations are not for any great

increases in terms of pricing, especially given the fact that more and

more will be driven towards the new ordering option given the price gap

quoted under the current market.

VLCC spot rates were in free fall last week, down 41% to about $52,000 per day, and were down even further over the weekend. During the

first several weeks of the year, there has been a drop in Middle Eastern spot fixtures down to an average of 17 contracts relative to 19 per

week in December. However, this Mid-January fall in rates is seasonally typical. In fact, for 7 of the 8 last years, following strong rates in early

January, spot VLCC rates fell into mid-late February. Refineries ease their buying activity ahead of the spring maintenance season, causing a

temporary reduction in tanker demand. Thus we would not anticipate the weakness in rates to persist. However, we also do not believe there

is likely to be an instant rebound to December levels. This week's lifting of Iranian sanctions should result in growing oil volumes from Iran,

but as we have noted extensively in the past, the nation's underutilized domestic fleet should initially more than make up for incremental

volume, resulting in no material impact on international tanker demand. Also, while the potential for floating storage to take advantage of

contango in the oil prices is possible, at the moment the six-month spread in Brent prices is slightly lower than $5 per barrel. We estimate at

current time charter rates the spread would need to be closer to $7 per barrel to see floating storage develop. Consequently, we would expect

VLCC spot rates to stabilize in the near term before gradually rising in the spring.

Breakup as Backup What is the scrapping potential of the crude fleet?

Tanker owners are currently doing fairly well, certainly compared to

their colleagues in the dry bulk market. However, history shows that

such markets do not last forever and when the downturn comes, it is

important that the supply side can respond quickly. The tanker

orderbook is not excessively large in historical terms but still requires

a sizable demand increase to maintain a balanced market in the

coming years. Scrapping is the other variable that influences the

supply side of the equation and the question is: What is the potential

for scrapping to help balance the market in the coming years?

The tanker fleet is fairly modern, following the single hull phase out of

the early 2000’s and the ordering wave during the great commodity

boom from 2004 to 2008. This is illustrated by relatively modest

scrapping in the last several years (Fig 1).

There are an estimated 92 crude tankers of Aframax size and larger

that will be 20 years and older by the end of the year. The current

VLCC fleet consists of 653 vessels with an additional 128 (20% of the

fleet) on order. 26 of the trading VLCCs will reach an age of 20 years

or older by the end of this year and could be considered potential

scrapping candidates in the coming years to offset the fleet growth.

The Suezmax fleet consists of 426 tankers with 129 vessels (30%) on

order but only 21 vessels were built prior to 1997. For Aframaxes, we

are adding older coated tankers to the crude fleet as these vessels

are more likely to be employed in the dirty trades as the economics of

maintaining the coatings worsen, especially in a poor market. The

Aframax fleet has 594 crude tankers and an orderbook of 92 vessels

(15%). The number of Aframax tankers older than 20 years is about

half the orderbook at 45 crude tankers including five coated tankers.

Ship owners will continue to trade vessels as long as they feel they

can do so profitably. A major decision point is when the vessel needs

to perform a special survey, typically when it reaches 20 years and

again at 22.5 years and 25 years of age. The special survey of such

older vessels often requires the investment of up to several million

dollars in steel, coatings, etc., dependent on the condition of the

vessel. When these special surveys come due during a poor market,

owners are more likely to sell the vessel for demolition.

In order to assess the likelihood of tankers heading for the scrap

yard, it is useful to examine the employment opportunities of such

tonnage. AIS data shows that the vast majority of these vessels are

trading East of Suez. With the exception of 8 PDV Marina Aframaxes,

involved in Venezuelan crude trades, and some Eastern

Mediterranean and Black Sea voyages, most of these vessels rarely

show up in the Western hemisphere, where terminal operators are

often stricter on age limitations. During the last couple of months,

about 21 of these tankers were predominantly involved in IntraMiddle

Eastern trades. Of the remaining tankers, 23 vessels have been

trading predominantly from the Middle East to Asia, mainly India,

China or Korea. Another 10 vessels were employed in Intra-Asian

trades.

Another way to look at the data is to examine the special survey

dates. Based on Q88 data and estimates, we project that 47 tankers

will have a special survey due in 2016 and an additional 17 in 2017.

In 2018, 23 tankers will have their next special survey (and likely

some of the vessels with a survey in 2016). For four vessels, Q88

data states that their next surveys are in 2019 and later. If the market

remains strong in 2016, most, if not all, of the scheduled tankers will

undergo their special survey, and in the years thereafter, a smaller

number will face the decision.

We forecast a continuation of the strong market for 2016, as high

crude production will continue to require transportation and

inefficiencies related to high oil inventories persist. After this year, we

foresee weakening freight rates as deliveries increasingly affect

tonnage supply and oil inventories start to wind down. Based on the

profile of the fleet, it does not look like there are enough scrapping

candidates to offset the deliveries and quickly support the rates.

VLCC

The VLCC market was markedly weaker this week with rates in the

Middle East and West Africa markets falling sharply with those in the

Caribbean market following suit after a lag. Demand in the Middle East

market rose modestly, rising to a tally of 25 from last week’s 22 while

that in the West Africa market remained uninspiring with just two

observed. The January Middle East loading program came to an

abrupt end with just 114 cargoes (below our expected range of

117‐122), which contributed to the negative pressure. More importantly,

demand for February West Africa stems by Asian buyers has remained

soft, which was reflected this week in the sustaining of light VLCC

chartering activity. The lower West Africa demand reduced the number

of units drawn from the Middle East market; this contributed to a wider

supply/demand imbalance which was augmented by the appearance of

more units on position lists (including a number of previously “hidden”

positions) as well as the continued presence of disadvantaged units

(recently ex‐dry dock, newbuildings, older units), which proved taxing on

owners.

We note that with the January program concluded and just two

additional January positions likely to be drawn to the West Africa market,

the surplus of Middle East positions has driven up to 18 units. This

represents a strong increase on the implied surplus as viewed just a

week ago and a considerable increase relative to 2015‐end month

average of nine surplus units – as well as the most overall since

September 2014. The near‐term demand outlook soured after

indications as to the Basrah loading program materialized and showed a

light first‐decade (despite a stronger overall daily supply rate), which

further compounded the impact on rates. As a result of these factors,

the market witnessed a 45% w/w contraction of average earnings to

~$57,299/day. Despite the extent thereof, earnings are only a modest

14% below the 2016 average which represents a strong disconnect from

the wide supply/demand imbalance. While we believe that February

loadings will ultimately lead to a tighter balance and stronger rates by

mid‐February, the present balance suggests that further rate losses are

likely to materialize in the interim.

Middle East

Assessed rates to the Far East averaged ws68.8 (basis 2016 flat rates),

off 44.9 points, w/w, while corresponding TCEs lost 44% to an average

of ~$60,742/day. The present assessment of ws57.5 yields

~$48,964/day. Rates to the USG via the Cape lost 18.2 points w/w to an

assessed ws48.5. Triangulated Westbound earnings dropped 17%

w/w to an average of ~$97,082/day while present assessments yield

~$84,141/day.

Atlantic Basin

Rates in the West Africa market continued to trail those in the Middle

East and the WAFR‐FEAST route lost 24.3 points w/w to an assessed

average of ws86. Corresponding TCEs dropped 25% to an average of

~$76,123/day. The present assessment of ws70 yields ~$60,030/day.

The Caribbean market was more active this week; however, with more

units appearing on position lists and the earlier demand lull having left

more units uncovered rates were under negative pressure which was

compounded by some ballast units from Asia considering voyages from

the Caribbean instead of the Middle East. This saw rates on the

CBS‐SPORE route drop $1.25m to $6.50m lump sum.

Suezmax

The pace of demand in the West Africa Suezmax market was largely

unchanged from last week with the fixture tally rising by one to

fourteen. While the final decade of the January program has been more

active than the prior two (26 final decade vs. 16 and 18, respectively, for

the first and second decades), the Suezmax‐oriented cargo volume for

the month stands 14% below the 4Q15 average as the region’s spot

market serviced exports appear to have declined by around 650,000

b/d. The slower Suezmax demand for January loadings has left a

greater number of units available as charterers progress into February

dates which – together with softer rates in the Black Sea and Caribbean

markets – exerted negative pressure on rates this week. The

WAFR‐UKC route shed 12.5 points to conclude at ws97.5 and given the

growing supply/demand imbalance is likely to observe markedly lower

rates from early during the upcoming week as this becomes more

apparent to participants.

Aframax

Rates in the Caribbean Aframax market commenced the week stronger

on last week’s elevated demand and a measure of date‐sensitivity for

early cargoes worked this week, which boosted rates for some cargoes

with carryover effects for participants working normal dates. However,

as the week progressed, demand levels moderated – this week’s

regional fixture tally of sixteen represented a 35% w/w decline – and

some earlier fixtures failed leading to a small number of prompt positions

and an easing of rates from the week’s earlier highs. Having touched as

high as ws135, the CBS‐USG route concluded at ws130, representing a

weekly gain of 12.5 points. Lingering uncertainty over fog‐related port

closures in the region likely prevented a further late‐paring of the week’s

gains; once the full impact on itineraries is better known at the start of

the upcoming week, the extent thereof is likely to prove influential on the

direction rates take at the start of the week.

Panamax

Rates on the CBS‐USG route commenced the week with a correcting of

last week’s observed gains, losing 10 points to ws140. However, with

demand remaining fairly active this week, rates gained modestly to

conclude at ws145. With supply/demand levels appearing balanced,

rates should remain around through the start of the upcoming week.

MR

The USG MR market commenced on a particularly strong note as

charterers rushed to cover requirements following the holidays. Though

activity levels eased by mid‐week, the week concluded with a fixture tally

of 45 – representing a seven‐week high. Of this week’s tally, five units

were bound for points in Europe (+1, w/w), 24 units were bound for

MR

The USG MR market was slower this week, leading rates to ease from

last week’s late gains. A total of 24 fixtures were reported, including

three bound for points in Europe (‐ 40% w/w), 15 were bound for points

in Latin America and the Caribbean (‐48% w/w), and the remainder were

for alternative locations or have yet to be determined. Due to fresh rate

gains in the European market, units freeing on the US East Coast were

more firmly oriented to ballasts to Europe (which was particularly true for

ice‐classed units given greater ice coverage in the Baltic area); this led

to a reduction of available USG positions with the two‐week forward

view thereof dropping 18% w/w to 28 units. This likely factored into a

halting of USG‐area rate erosion by the close of the week. The

USG‐UKC route lost 10 points at mid‐week and settled at ws100 while

the USG‐CBS route lost $15k to conclude at $510k lump sum. Soaring

PADD 3 distillate inventories (EIA data shows a 2.3 Mb/d build last

week) have failed to support greater Europe‐bound cargo flows given

high inventories in Europe, which could continue to limit export demand

during the upcoming week (but could simultaneous limit overall export

demand destruction as refineries progress into seasonal

maintenance). Meanwhile, surprisingly sluggish US gasoline demand

– the first two weeks of 2016 have shown a 5.8% y/y decline – could

also limit trans‐Atlantic gasoline voyages from Europe and thus ballast

interest from USAC positions (last week gasoline inventories in the

PADD 1B Central Atlantic sub‐region rose by nearly 3 Mnbbls). On this

basis, the pace of forward seasonal rate erosion could be relatively

muted during the upcoming weeks with only modest downside potential

during the upcoming week for ex‐USG voyages likely.

TANKER TIME CHARTER ESTIMATES* (pdpr) - Non-Eco

tonnage

Tanker Comment: Few worrisome news coming out of the

East seems to point out that demand for oil has slightly fallen

but as oil prices tumble traders rushing to buy the plentiful of

oil out there hoping prices will recover at least in the near

term making a small profit on the margins. VL spot rates

now falling well below 100k reaching around 70k but as the

cold weather finally sweeps in the Northern Hemisphere,

most Owners remaining optimistic.

DRY TIME CHARTER ESTIMATES* (pdpr)

Dry comment: One wonders how much lower the Capesize index can

actually go – never underestimate the market on how high or low it can

reach. Aussie – China rounds have now seen $2.80. As for the

Panamaxes and Supras the in the Pacific rates not much better as 1tct’s

have reached the $3k mark. In the Atlantic basin ships will only receiving a

small premium but smaller tonnages due to flexibility on trading seem to be

more popular these days especially as commodity prices continue to fall.

Short period rates in the Pacific today have fallen below the 5k mark as we

speak across the board.

FFA DRY – With the physical market in a freefall, FFA traders not optimistic at all especially as stock markets in Asia continue falling with

more bad news coming out of China and demand for commodities not as strong as people thought.

FFA WET – Despite the market still healthy and strong many feel a little bit of profit taking is perfectly normal. Fundamentals haven’t

changed and weather on the Owners side, but is it enough to keep the demand strong with so much supply of oil out there. FFA traders

taking a step back for now before buying anything yet.
