Container update 27th October, 2003

Overall it would appear a quieter market is now upon us, with many lines having already fulfilled their chartering requirements for the upcoming holiday season. Believe it is fair reflection to say that after the phenomenal surge in rate levels seen earlier in the year for 2000teu+, and lately 1700teu+, rates have peaked, and will probably remain at these levels, at least in the short term until after the Chinese New Year.
However, interest still remains high in the larger sizes with Wan Hai and PIL active recently, having taken 5 vessels 2600-3000teu for 2-3 years for rates between $21-23,000 in the last fortnight. Other charterers such as CSAV, Hanjin and Maersk were seen taking on or two of vessels apiece, with further close discussions ongoing with other parties. Interestingly there have also been an apparent number of market rumours for larger vessels being fixed so far unsubstantiated with Nordmed, Santa Elena, and Nordfalcon still available to charter maintaining pressure on charterers in this size.
The medium sizes of about 1700teu have also leveled off at around $17,000 mark for 12 months, with premiums still for shorter periods of mid/high 17’000s. Although many longer-term fixtures with deliveries well into next year were being completed in $14,000’s, there is an increasing pressure to settle for shorter term at present, as seen last week with 3 CC1600 and a BV 1700 taking 2-3 month charters. This size is much quieter than of late with some lower specified vessels now showing promptish dates, and owners are seeing a much more pronounced Far East/Atlantic divide, with some looking to move vessels eastbound to pick up better paying business rather than facing the tough Atlantic.
There will be some downward pressure exerted in the short term at least, which may actually see a slight if temporary fall prior end of this year.
However next year still looks positive reflecting better economic outlook globally, and increasing freight levels attained for most routes.
