Rate rises sustainable so far<br />
The global container ship charter market is in robust shape as early autumn fixing resumes,<br />
writes Michael Hollmann<br />
Fixing activity and tonnage tightness<br />
continued to beat expectations over<br />
the past month, with charter rate levels<br />
still nudging upward during September.<br />
The upward momentum decreased a bit,<br />
yet average rates for the main charter vessel<br />
sectors from 1,<strong>10</strong>0 TEU to 4,250 TEU<br />
are up 2.6% month-on-month, according<br />
to the New ConTex which climbed<br />
from 388 to 398 points over the past four<br />
weeks. Demand for large and very large<br />
gearless ships in excess of 5,500 TEU continues<br />
to be a major driver for the latest<br />
strength in the market. However, the New<br />
ConTex also reflects significant improvements<br />
for panamax and midsize vessels,<br />
with 12 month periods for geared<br />
1,700 TEU types lifted by 4.2% to over<br />
7,900 $/day and 12 month periods for<br />
4,250 TEU baby panamax types pushing<br />
up 11% to almost 9,000 $/day.<br />
Global container traffc remains on<br />
track for much-improved growth this<br />
year as economic activity based on purchasing<br />
manager indices (PMI) gained<br />
further strength across most major economies.<br />
PMI’s for the US and for Europe<br />
remain at multi-year highs and still improving<br />
while the situation in China,<br />
India and Brazil brightened up again,<br />
too, after a weaker patch in May, June<br />
and July. The result has been a formidable<br />
rise in the JP Morgan Global PMI<br />
to 53.9 points in August, indicating the<br />
strongest growth push in the world economy<br />
since early 2015. All this is good<br />
news for container shipping, of course,<br />
which is set for a 5.0% increase in cargo<br />
liftings on fronthaul routes this year,<br />
according to London shipbroker Howe<br />
Robinson. Fittingly, the idle container<br />
ship fleet witnessed another contraction<br />
to just 143 units with an aggregate<br />
capacity of 355,250 TEU in early September<br />
based on data by Alphaliner. This represents<br />
just 1.7% of the total cellular fleet<br />
worldwide. Concerns over a seasonal decline<br />
in charter demand proved unfounded<br />
so far, although there is no doubt that<br />
it is going to happen to some degree during<br />
the fourth quarter, as every year.<br />
In the largest sectors, Seaspan is reported<br />
to have already fixed a quartet of<br />
<strong>10</strong>,000 TEU newbuilding due for delivery<br />
from February 2018 for long periods. Market<br />
sources say that the ships are hired out<br />
to CMA CGM ex yard for 36 month periods<br />
at rates around 28,000 $/day. This<br />
compares favourably with other recent fixtures<br />
of even larger vessels, fixed at lower<br />
rates, albeit for shorter periods that would<br />
allow owners to re-employ them at higher<br />
rates if the market picks up in the meantime.<br />
Some 2011-built <strong>10</strong>,000 TEU tonnage<br />
got covered at 21,000-22,000 $/day while<br />
the Costamare-managed »Cape Kortia«<br />
(11,0<strong>10</strong> TEU, <strong>2017</strong>) secured a 12 month<br />
employment for transpacific trading with<br />
Evergreen at 27,000 $/day. Latest megaship<br />
