Container update 15th November, 2004 |
In the bigger size above 2000 TEU it were a few newbuildings around 2800 TEU that caught the markets attention. Tsakos has finally fixed their '05 deliveries to Evergreen at the same rate (USD 26,000) that Passat Shipping fixed recently to CSAV. More remarkable were even the four 2700 TEU newbuildings from Schoeller and Thien & Heyenga which went to GWSC for a period of 5 years at USD 22,500 but with delivery only in 2006. GWSC is supposed to replace existing tonnage in the Transpacific trade with these four units in order to maintain / secure their market share in the future. One might come to the conclusion looking at above fixtures that Owners are obviously able to achieve juicy premiums for prompter tonnage / deliveries.
In the segment between 1300 and 1900 TEU we should not fail to highlight the fixture of the Samaria for a 3 years period to Costa Container Lines at a very remarkable rate of USD 27,000. This is exactly USD 2,000 more what the comparable Hansa Flensburg, being however a bit slower, obtained just two weeks earlier. Worth mentioning are also the extensions of four Hansa C-Types with Maersk Sealand for about 2,5 years at USD 24,500. Maersk is employing those ships in their Wafrica service due to their shallow draft but very good intake.
Around 1000 TEU the extensions of the B183 Types Judith Schulte and Hansa Berlin for 3 years at usd 15,000 to PONL are as noteworthy as the fixtures of the two Interorient N/B's Olympic Racer and Olympic Sprinter which went to Sinotrans for the established period of 3 years at usd 16.100. As far as we are concerned this segment has been proven to be the most dynamic one in the last couple of weeks.
With the demand - supply situaiton still looking unbalanced for the coming months, there is an expectation that market rates will continue to increase, although perhaps not at the speed we have experienced in the first three quarters of 2003.
