Sve u svemu , čini se da će priljev novogradnji biti dosta sporiji od očekivanog , što je u skladu s već drugdje na dry bulk forumima iznesenim činjenicama.
Naravno. Nije bas vjerojatno da samo Atlantskoj kasne “Kinezi” (oba trebala stici do kraja 2007). i jedan “Vijetnamac”.[smiley]
inace, jedna mala zanimljivost iz ipoovog fearnleysa:

Blue sea thinking
By Julian Bray
Wednesday 30 April 2008
FEW could have predicted that this week freight rates would reach a record high for the year. The Baltic Exchange Dry Index touched 9,344 earlier this week, up 39% since it hit a low in January. The benchmark dry freight index is now within 2,000 points of its all-time record of 11,039 reached last November.
With such volatility and underlying market strength it is no surprise that the freight derivatives market is winning more interest from investors outside shipping.
The latest to join is investment bank UBS. However, rather that just playing the forward freight agreement market, it is launching a creative new tool aimed at attracting investors who may have otherwise been put off by the byzantine world of freight futures.
The UBS Blue Sea Index, to be launched later in May, will be a tradeable instrument that factors in shipping supply and demand, alongside commodity prices and an all important measure of port congestion.
UBS believes that the index will attract investors who seek some refuge from the volatility in financial and equity markets, but who retain an appetite for the exposure to the further expansion of China’s economy.
Underpinning this new interest in shipping is evidence of the explosive growth in freight derivatives. In 2007, the freight derivatives market more than doubled to $117bn from $55bn a year earlier, and it is forecast to climb by another 20% this year as more banks and hedge funds get into the market.
This new UBS initiative deserves to be watched as it may introduce a new level of sophistication to the freight derivatives market by opening it up to investors who are not necessarily freight professionals.
The Blue Sea Index is indeed blue sky thinking.

Tuesday May 6, 9:53 am ET
ATHENS, GREECE–(MARKET WIRE)–May 6, 2008 — Star Bulk Carriers Corp.

The vessel has been sold with her existing one-year time charter attached, at a net daily rate of USD 18,000.
