CAPESIZES
Another dull, flat day for the big ships with the Australian majors
still sidelined over cyclone issues.
Port Hedland was said to be evacuating with Cyclone Lua expected to
make landfall Saturday. The Port Authority had been expected to
evacuate all vessels at 4.00pm today in response to the cyclone which
was earlier said centred 400 nautical miles northwest of the port.
Four loaders for BHP Billiton will be closed and one for FMG. There
was no news of Rio Tinto but it sources said it would likely close its
four loaders in Dampier.
Otherwise the 194,000-dwt 1986-built Kassos Warrior agreed a
reasonable $12,500 daily plus a $200,000 bonus for a trip from Goa to
China, but a charterer as not disclosed.
The Mosel N, 122,311-dwt 1995-built spot Singapore fixed on
subjects for an east coast Australia/South Korea cargo, but details
were not disclosed. Some brokers said Dong-A fixed the ship others
that it was STX Pan Ocean.
The Pacific Resource, 180,000-dwt 2010-built, which sailed Rizhao
13 March was rumoured fixed, but details were not disclosed.
In the Atlantic, Vitol was said to have now fixed a 2-11 April
160,000-tonne 10% coal cargo from Bolivar to Dangjin possibly the
Swiss Marine relet China Act 151,688-dwt 1995-built open Immingham
22-25 March at a rate said to be in the low $27.00 range.
Trafigura was linked with the Rio Tinto relet Mineral Beijing
174,083-dwt 2004-built spot Gibraltar for a 3-18 April cargo from
Bolivar to Dangjing. Some said the rate was in the low-mid $25.00s
others that it had been done on timecharter at $25,000 daily.
SVS has the Nord Pyxis 2010-built 114,5000-dwt on subjects for a
20-25 March 110,000-tonne 10% coal cargo from Baltimore and Hampton
Roads to Redcar at $11.50.
PANAMAXES
It remained repetitive to say but the Argentina/Brazil market
remained the driving force in the Atlantic supporting the fronthaul
trades. There was talk of charterers prepared to take ships dop
Continent or Mediterranean, but little has been reported fixed.
Transatlantic rates have yet to show substantive signs of
improvement for Panamaxes although some of the struggling Post
Panamaxes have now gone but at rates that for now cap levels for those
ships left behind.
Rates in the Pacific area were largely flat and may possibly ease
although there was still reasonable demand in Southeast Asia and
Australia. The NoPac remained positional.
Again with rates from Argentina/Brazil still firm more owners
appeared willing to risk the ballast rather than face current rates.
With paper values drifting there was more of a reluctance to commit
to period business although GMI took the thirsty 79,328-dwt 2010-built
Shinyo Ayush from Jintang 20-21 March for 4 to 7 months trading at
weak $9,250 daily.
In late trade there was talk that Bunge has taken tonnage for
period as have other grain houses, but details were lacking.

The Epson Trader, 82,656-dwt 2007-built prompt River Plate went on

The Genco Vigour, 73,941-dwt 1999-built 20-25 March east coast South

at a strong $16,000 daily plus a $650,000 bonus.
ArcelorMittal has a 20-30 March 70,000-tonne 10% coal cargo on
subjects from Norfolk to Rotterdam. The charterer had been aiming to
fix at $12.00.
The Elbe 2001-built 75,259-dwt open Stade spot has gone but some
said this was for in-house business.
Transatlantic rates remained flat although some of the Post Panamax
weighing on the market have now fixed, although the rates they have
agreed have kept a cap on rates for others.
The Oldendorff relet 2011-built Ao Hong Ma 92,500-dwt Dunkirk 16-18
March was linked with Atlantic Coal and Bulk on subjects, but it was
not clear which business although the ship is able to breach IWL.

Taranto at $8,000 daily or the equivalent.

for a trip from Fangcheng prompt for a trip via Australia and Persian
Gulf with redelivery Red Sea at $10,500 daily.
There had been a report linking EBC with the ship at this rate for
PMO redelivery this rate, but this proved inaccurate.
The 76,499-dwt 2007-built Genco Raptor was fixed for passing Taiwan

range at $7,250 daily but a charterer was not reported,.

$8,500 daily.
The Alkyon 74,875-dwt 2001-built spot Singapore was rumoured close
to fixing, but details were not disclosed.

trip to South China at just $5,000 daily plus a $110,000 bonus.
