Oil Tankers to Extend Worst Rout in Four Decades on Glut: Freight Markets


Oil Tankers to Extend Worst Rout in Four Decades on Glut: Freight Markets

The biggest glut of crude tankers in a quarter century means at least another year of losses for Frontline Ltd. and Overseas Shipholding Group as the shipping market suffers its worst rout since the mid-1990s.
Rates from Saudi Arabia to Japan, the benchmark route, will rise 78 percent to average $15,000 a day in 2012, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 10 investors, analysts and owners. While that would still be unprofitable for owners and investors in shipping companies, speculators can make money because forward freight agreements, traded by brokers and used to bet on future transport costs, are anticipating an average of $10,746 next year, from $8,449 in 2011.
“It’s still a terrible situation,” said Ole Stenhagen, the analyst at SEB Enskilda in Oslo whose recommendations on the shares of shipping firms returned 33 percent in the past two years. “People are hunkering down for a prolonged recession in the tanker market.”
Tankers ordered four years ago when rates reached $229,000 are still leaving yards, adding to the glut just as economic growth slows. The International Energy Agency cut its estimate for 2012 oil demand four times in as many months and predicts consumption will contract in North America and Europe for a second year. The six largest New York-listed tanker owners will report a combined loss of $1.1 billion in 2011 and $474 million next year, 44 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.
Maritime Routes
Returns for ship owners on the Saudi Arabia-to-Japan voyage averaged $8,449 a day this year, according to the London-based Baltic Exchange, which publishes freight costs along more than 50 maritime routes. Rates fell 46 percent to $14,272 since the start of January and were negative from August through October, implying that owners were paying clients to hire their vessels. Frontline, the biggest operator of supertankers, says it needs $30,200 to break even.
General Maritime Corp. (GMR), based in New York, filed for bankruptcy protection Nov. 17 and Hamilton, Bermuda-based Frontline said Dec. 6 it planned to split the company to avoid running out of cash. Overseas Shipholding, the biggest U.S. manager of the largest tankers, has reported losses for 10 consecutive quarters.
A second year of unprofitable rates would be the industry’s worst losing streak since the mid-1990s, according to Martin Stopford, the London-based managing director of Clarkson Research Services Ltd., part of the world’s biggest shipbroker. Losses were worse in the early 1980s, when earnings averaged about $5,000 a day, he said.
“The 1980s were a force-10 storm,” said Stopford, who is also a visiting professor at the Cass Business School in London. “What we’ve got today is a force six to force seven.”
Oil Demand
The fleet of supertankers, known in the industry as very large crude carriers, will expand 8.2 percent next year, Clarkson estimates. Global oil demand will advance 1.5 percent, according to the Paris-based IEA. The number of VLCCs jumped 13 percent to 560 since the end of 2007 and outstanding orders at ship yards are equal to 13 percent of existing capacity, Redhill, England-based IHS Fairplay estimates.
FFAs are traded by brokers including London-based Marex Spectron Group Ltd. and Simpson, Spence & Young Ltd. and also cover rates for vessels hauling coal and iron ore. The market was valued at $24 billion in 2010, according to the Baltic Exchange.
Rates may rebound more than anticipated in the Bloomberg survey should growth exceed economists’ forecasts. While the estimate compiled by Bloomberg from regional predictions is for a 2.47 percent expansion in the global economy next year, the International Monetary Fund is forecasting 4 percent.
Reduce the Glut
China will consume 5.3 percent more oil next year, almost four times the global pace, according to the IEA. The Asian nation is the biggest destination for VLCCs, according to ship- tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
Scrapping could also reduce the glut. The difference between the price of a 15-year-old tanker and the value of its steel has narrowed to $6.77 million, close to the smallest spread in at least five years, according to data from Clarkson and Simpson, Spence & Young, the second-largest shipbroker. Owners may demolish 5 percent of the fleet within 18 months, the most in nine years, Clarkson Capital Markets LLC estimates.
Owners are also slowing ships to use less fuel, their biggest cost. The largest tankers sailed at an average of 10.24 knots in November, compared with 10.93 knots a year earlier, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Reduced speeds means ships take longer to return to compete for business, effectively cutting the fleet’s capacity.
Lower Speeds
The Baltic Exchange’s rates don’t take lower speeds into account and returns for owners may be higher than implied by the bourse’s assessment.
Frontline will lose a record $243.9 million this year and $108.28 million in 2012, according to the mean of 20 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
“On paper it looks like it will be a difficult year,” said Jens Martin Jensen, the Singapore-based chief executive officer of Frontline’s management unit.
Overseas Shipholding, based in New York, will report a loss of $213.2 million this year and $137.5 million in 2012, the mean of nine estimates shows.
The six-member Bloomberg Tanker Index, which includes Frontline and Overseas Shipholding, slumped 54 percent this year. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities declined 13 percent and Treasuries returned 9.9 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Manufactured Goods
The glut also extends to vessels hauling coal, iron ore and manufactured goods. The fleet of bulk carriers will grow 10 percent in 2012, compared with a 3 percent gain in cargo demand, according to Clarkson. Capacity on container ships will expand 8.6 percent as world trade advances 5.8 percent, data from Clarkson and the IMF show. About 90 percent of trade goes by sea, according to the Round Table of Shipping Associations.
Rates for capesizes, the largest ships used to haul coal and iron ore, averaged $15,409 this year, the lowest since 2002, according to the Baltic Exchange. The cost of shipping steel boxes to the U.S. West Coast from China, a benchmark route, fell 28 percent since the start of January, Clarkson data show.
Only about 78 percent of tankers will find work next year, compared with 82 percent of the dry bulk fleet, Morgan Stanley said in a Dec. 19 report. Tankers are making owners an average return of less than 0.1 percent, according to data from London- based Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd.
The surplus is the largest since one that lasted from 1974 until 1985, said Andreas Vergottis, the Hong Kong-based research director at Tufton Oceanic Ltd., manager of the world’s largest shipping hedge fund. He expects 2012 rates to stay close to daily operating costs of about $12,000.
“Such low rates can exist for a brief period of time but they’re not sustainable at this current level,” said Nikhil Jain, a researcher at Drewry in Gurgaon, India. “The difficult period is not yet over. We’re just at the start of it.”

Shale gas in China will develop faster than expected


Shale gas in China will develop faster than expected

Shale gas and China is not exactly a novel combination of words, it has been discussed repeatedly at least since the shale gas boom in the US, but there seems to be an upswing in interest lately, so I figured its time to take a closer look.
The first thing I find of course is a range of super-optimistic headlines in the news: Is China entering a shale gas boom?Energy companies rush into shale gas developments in China,China shale gas discoveries major boost to supplyChina shale gas boom could surpass US, and plenty more of the same sort.
And the facts and happenings underlying the headlines are indeed quite interesting - 2011 seems to have been a year of positioning and getting ready for a shale gas boom; in April the first horizontal well was drilled, the entire year most of the international oil companies have been lurking around looking for their way in, Shell has drilled a couple of test wells with very promising results, several large discoveries are made, and the Chinese national oil companies are looking to buy up american fracking technology.
Still, most of the “experts” in this industry seems to believe that the shale gas development in China will be fairly slow. They expect shale gas may contribute some 16% of domestic production in 2020. It makes me wonder if they have already forgotten the development we have just witnessed in the US. And Chinas reserves are 50% larger than that of the US, enough to cover Chinese domestic demand for natural gas for the next 300 years. So why should it develop so much slower in China? I dont get it.
On the contrary, the Chinese have a proven track record over the past couple of decades of getting things done really quickly. Living in Shanghai, I get to observe this almost every day; a new skyscraper pops up over here, a new road is rolled out over there. On top of this, there is now a financial incentive for the Government to move fast when it comes to domestic shale gas production: Currently new long term supply contracts for natural gas, in the form of LNG, are being signed at 15 dollars/mmbtu and upwards. At the same time the regulated domestic price for natural gas in China is in the area of 5 dollars/mmbtu. Yes, this means that the Government, or the taxpayers, are subsidising around 10 dollars for every mmbtu of natural gas consumed in China. Poten & Partners stated in a conference in Singapore in September that they have estimated this to amount to at least 6 billion dollars per year in subsidies. When domestic shale gas can be profitably produced close to the regulated prices, you should think it would be interesting to save 6 billion dollars?
My prediction is therefore not surprising: shale gas in China will develop much faster than analysts currently project.

Great potential for cooperation between Norway and China in the LNG sector

Great potential for cooperation between Norway and China in the LNG sector

Last updated: 21/11/2011 // Norwegian companies are well positioned to support Chinese companies in the rapidly developing LNG industry, including regasification and maritime technologies. This is one of the findings of a study exploring the opportunities for cooperation between Norway and China in the LNG sector. The report will be presented at a seminar in Shanghai November 28, 2011.
The rapidly growing LNG industry in China is expected to draw on wide support from foreign companies in order to meet the demand for technologies and competencies needed to realise ambitious targets.  The study explores the commercial and strategic opportunities in China’s LNG sector, assessing the overall natural gas market in China, of which LNG is a vital part. It also identifies the key developments where Norwegian companies have experience and competencies that can help China meet its targets. The study is a co-investment by the Norwegian Embassy and Consulates General in China, as well as Innovation Norway China and DNV.
Possible areas of cooperation between Chinese and Norwegian companies identified by the study include LNG regasification solutions, small scale LNG distribution, LNG as marine fuel, LNG bunkering and ship to ship transfer, maritime technologies like propulsion and fuel tanks and standardization activities. Norwegian companies could make use of their unique experiences to benefit Chinese companies by supplying vessels and on-board equipment, as well as leading the joint-development of advanced maritime technologies. They could also provide advisory services to better manage safety and environmental risks that come with the rapid growth and change in paradigm of the LNG value chain in China.
“Norway, as a major energy nation, sees great opportunities for a wider cooperation with China. This report clearly illustrates the potential for such cooperation in the development of Chinas LNG’s sector,” says Norwegian Ambassador to China Svein Sæther.
Natural gas is an important part of China’s 12th Five Year Plan which forecasts an 8.3% share of natural gas in the country’s primary energy mix by 2015, up from 4% in 2010. To reach this aggressive target, China would need to import approximately 50 – 60 bcm of natural gas (both LNG and pipeline imports) in 2015, similar to the current import level of the European Union. By 2015, LNG imports are expected to be supported by 14 LNG receiving terminals supplied by more than 65 LNG carriers according to China Shipbuilding Economic Research Center.
"DNV has been present in China since 1888 supporting industry partners and clients with independent risk management services throughout various maritime and offshore industry cycles. This project will further help us understand how DNV can play an even more active role into the Natural Gas developments that the 12th Five Year plan will open up for ,” says Mr. Stone Zhang, Director of Operations, DNV China Energy.
Ms. Gunn Ovesen, CEO of Innovation Norway, states “We are delighted to have partnered with DNV and MFA in order to come up with relevant information for Norwegian companies operating in Asia. Norway is one of the few places in the world where a small scale LNG cluster is operational and I am glad to see that Norwegian capabilities and technologies are well positioned and asked for when these value chains now are taking off throughout Asia in the years to come”.
