Demand Outlook: Iron Ore will continue to drive the dry bulk market

World steel outlook World iron ore importsChina import: CAGR (2006-12): 14.7% CAGR (2012-18): 8.2%

Steel consumption: CAGR (2006-2012): 3.6% CAGR (2012-2018): 6.0%

Trade 2005:717 mtTrade 2012:1,180 mtTrade 2018: 1,749 mt

On demand side – China is expected to continue to dominate. Iron ore imports are expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2012-18.

On supply side, Australia and Brazil would continue to dominate. Whilst some Iron ore expansion plans are being reviewed in the current demand downturn, many of the major miners continue with their expansion plans.

India, a major iron ore exporter, is expected to decrease its exports and increase steel production.

South Africa is likely to become the third largest exporter, replacing India. Longer distances will increase the tonne-miles.

Demand Outlook: Thermal Coal driven by electricity demand

Rising electricity demand in developing Asia is expected to be the main driver of growth in thermal coal imports. Import demand is projected to be relatively weak in developed economies, as a result of comparatively weaker

economic growth and greater access to natural gas. Thermal coal exports : Indonesia and Australia continue to dominate.

• Colombian exports are expected to increase, which reflects the relatively low cost of production, high energy and low sulphur content of Colombian coal.

• South African exports are forecast to increase as the expansion of rail infrastructure supports increased capacity at the Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

• Mozambique has slowly started exporting coal and will become a significant coal exporter in the long term.. Botswana a long way to go before becomes a significant coal exporter but very likely to become one.

Demand Outlook: Coking Coal driven by steel production

Global coking coal trade expected to grow at a CAGR of 3% The primary driver will be an increase in steel production in China, Coking coal import of China is expected to

witness a CAGR of 16.1% between 2012-2018. EU-27 and Japan to grow at a moderate rate of 3.3% and 1.8% in the next five years. With the investment of Vale, Rio Tinto and many other producers, Mozambique is anticipated to play an

important role in Coking coal export. As Shale gas becomes an influential factor in the US energy mix, the US will become an important coal exporter.

India’s power sector drives the coal demand in India. In 2011-12, Indian power utilities generated non-coking coal demand of 460 million tonnes, 14% more than that in 2010-11. In the year 2011-12, demand for total raw coal in India was close to 696.0 million tonnes. On the contrary, total coal production reported 532.8 million tonnes with a gap of about 163.2 million tonnes.

Overall, non-coking coal demand has been growing at a CAGR of 9% since 2006-07 compared to 6.7% CAGR of coking coal. It is reflective of the fact that thermal power generation has grown at a much faster rate compared to steel production capacity growth in India.

The Coal production all over India during the period 2011-12 was 532.8 million tonnes as compared to the production of 532.7 million tonnes the year before. In 2012-13, however, production of 574.4 million tonnes of coal is targeted. Since 2005-06, production has grown at a CAGR of 4.6% compared to 7.6% growth in demand. Consequently, the demand and supply gap in India has been continuously widening. In 2012-13, as per Government of India estimates, the demand and supply gap is estimated to be very close to 200 million tonnes.

With marginal growth in 2012-13, coal import is expected to increase in coming years.

Coal price and freight rate had a nose dive in 2009

We would argue that the co-relationship that existed between thermal coal price and freight rates and coal impots became more prominent as newly designed Eco- Vessels with fuel efficient engines are introduced , which give significantly better voyage economics.

Next slide shows a sound relationship between price/rates and coal imports to India

High co-relationship between cost of imports and import volume

In terms of pure distance, when coal is imported at the west coast of India, there is hardly any difference between importing from Indonesia or South Africa

When coal is imported at the East coast of India, there is signifcant difference in distance between South African cargo and Indonesian cargo

Freight rates plunged in 2009 giving rise to a sharp decline in cost involved in shipping coal to India

Though rates are expected to improve from next year, they might remain low for next few years making imports a good alternative to domestically sourced coal

Assessment of shipping options

Time CharterSingle Trip CharterPeriod Charter

Chartering ships on period time charter basis allows the ship owner to calculate the forward cash flow situation more accurately than with the majority of other chartering options. Variable on port and fuel costs

Bareboat Charter

Bareboat charter is similar to period time charter with the added cost of providing for vessel’s operating expenses.

Vessel OwnershipNewbuildingSecondhand

Vessel ownership would provide a hedge against freight volatility, but it requires a considerable capital outlay as well as ship management capabilities. Vessel ownership for longer-haul voyages would require extensive commercial operations to maximise utilisation of the vessel by securing backhauls and potential triangulation voyages. Vessels can be bought and given to vessel management companies to operate it.

There are a number of shipping options which can be chosen for securing freight. The options can vary from spot charter to time charter or vessel ownership depending on the scope of requirements, financial capacity, market conditions etc.

Essentially, charterers can secure freight services on one of two bases. They can either fix vessels to carry a specified cargo (or cargoes) between one or more loading port and one or more discharge port, or they can hire ships for a specified period of time. This choice of charter type influences the division of legal and operational responsibilities and, consequently, financial liabilities between the owner and the charterer. In this context, the term “owner” also includes a disponent owner (i.e., a person or company which has commercial control over a vessel's operation without owning the ship as in a bareboat charter). There are effectively four shipping options:

Voyage CharterSingle (or Spot) CharterMultiple (or COA) Charter

Both offer good scheduling flexibility to the charterer, but spot charter rates are dependent on spot markets and therefore can be very volatile. COA on the other hand, would ensure stable costs through length of COA, but could be variable over duration of project.

Charterers can secure freight services on two bases – for a specified cargo between ports, or for a specified period

Vessel chartering options

Summary of various charter types

Source: Drewry Maritime Advisors

Fixtures can be primarily be done on two basis: CFR basis (cost and freight) , that is method of selling cargo where seller pays for loading costs and ocean freight. FOB basis (free on board) method of selling cargo excluding ocean freight and insurance, but including loading costs.

There are mainly two bases of fixtures – CFR and FOB basis

 Charter types Single Voyage Charter COAs Time Charter Vessel Ownership

Scheduling Great Flexibility High Flexibility Low to medium flexibility Low flexibility

Quantity One voyageCan be any quantity, but for risk management, size should be split up

Limited by vessels’ operational constraints

Limited by vessels’ operational constraints

Time One voyage at a time

Any duration (normally 12 months),but for risk management, length should be limited or linked to port/fuel Costs

Can be any duration (from trip time for a round voyage to7 years)

Life of the vessel

Cost Variable and Volatile – dependent on spot rates

Stable over length of COA, but variable over the length of the project. Faces risk of under or over-performing the market

Stable for length of time charter,but variable over length of project. Variable on port and fuel costs. Faces risk of under or over-performing the market

Stable. Dependent upon when purchased, but typically stable cost over the long term. Variable on port and fuel costs.

Management Highly operational intensive Medium operational intensity Medium operational intensityHigh operational intensity, although some functions can be outsourced

    Strengths Weakness Opportunity Threat Operational Requirement

Short Term Commitmen

t

Spot (or voyage) Charter

(1) Offers great flexibility while scheduling

(1) Freight Cost is highly variable and volatile, dependant on spot rates.

(1) Freight markets expected to remain low over the next 2-3 years.

(1) Port congestion or natural disaster could affect availability of ships, and/or push up freight rates.

Small Team of 3-5 required to look at ship chartering and handle operations including coordinating with port agents and liaise with port authorities and facilitate the associated paper work

COA (any duration, but usually fixed for 12 months)

(1) Offers great flexibility while scheduling

(1) Is prone to fuel and port costs volatility. The charter party would tend to have a Bunker adjustment clause.

(1) Can fix vessel to transport cargo from designated loading port to various destinations and allow to sell CFR

(1) Port congestion or natural disaster could affect availability of ships, and/or push up freight rates.

Small Team of 3-5 required to look at ship chartering and handle operations including coordinating with port agents and liaise with port authorities and facilitate the associated paper work

Long Term Commitmen

t

Long Term Time Charter

(1) Freight Rates are stable over the length of the charter

(1) Is prone to fuel and port costs volatility

(1) Book vessel at the lower end of the shipping cycle and use to sell CFR cargoes

(1) Current oil prices are very volatile, and could push bunker prices quite high in the next few years.

(1) Requires medium to high operational capabilities.

Consecutive Voyage Charter (CVC)

(1) Freight Rates are stable over the length of the charter, but can vary over the project duration

(1) Is prone to fuel and port costs volatility

(1) Book vessel at the lower end of the shipping cycle and use to sell CFR cargoes

(1) Current oil prices are very volatile, and could push bunker prices quite high in the next few years.

(1) Requires medium to high operational capabilities.

Bareboat Charter

(1) Advantages of vessel ownership, but without capital repayment

(1) A bareboat charterer has to meet stringent operational requirements. (2) Is prone to fuel and port costs volatility

(1) Book vessel at the lower end of the shipping cycle and use to sell CFR cargoes

(1) Current oil prices are very volatile, and could push bunker prices quite high in the next few years.

(1) Requires high operational capabilities. (2) Depending on number of vessel acquisitions, a big team would be required to fix loading and discharge programs, vessel maintenance etc

Vessel Ownership

(1) Own vessel can give lowest freight economy

Requires huge capital outlay

(1) Current asset markets are near the bottom of the historical cycle, and therefore a good time for cash rich investors to enter the market

(1) Scheduling flexibility is low, i.e., the charterer might only want fob sales

(1) Requires high operational capabilities. (2) Depending on number of vessel acquisitions, a big team would be required to fix loading and discharge programs, vessel maintenance etc
