Iron Ore-China steel futures rise for 2nd day, ore firm Shanghai rebar futures rose for a second session on Tuesday, supported by expectations a brisk construction sector will continue to prop up demand and output in top market China. Iron ore prices were benefitting from the resilience in China's steel prices, with spot rates staying firm although some mills are exercising caution in replenishing inventories, waiting for price dips before buying. The most-traded rebar contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained 0.3 percent to 4,828 yuan a tonne by the midday break. Global crude steel output rose 11.5 percent from the previous year to 127.477 million tonnes in July as China's production remained strong, data from the World Steel Association showed on Monday. While total world output was down slightly from 127.746 million tonnes in June, the figure was still near the record 129.865 million tonnes produced in May. China's crude steel output hit 59.3 million tonnes in July versus a record 60.245 million tonnes in May. "China steel production has surprised people on the upside this year," Macquarie analyst Colin Hamilton told Reuters Insider. "The strength is in the construction sector... In China 55 percent of steel goes into infrastructure and construction, it is still at that stage of urbanisation and industrialisation. There is still plenty of growth to come." While global steel output this month may steady at current levels due to holidays in Europe and the Middle East and with China's output stabilising, production elsewhere may drop, said Steel Market Intelligence analyst Michelle Applebaum. "We suspect that production in North America and Asia will be down overall, as weak pricing and summer holidays have hastened summer maintenance outages and slower production overall," Applebaum said in a note. CAUTIOUS BUYING The strength in steel prices is boosting demand for iron ore, the key ingredient in making steel, although some mills are buying cautiously. "Prices are still quite high so unless it's necessary for mills to replenish their inventories, they would choose to wait and see," said a shipping manager for an iron ore trading firm in Shanghai. Data showing China's factory sector is likely to slow slightly for a second consecutive month in August as sluggish overseas demand sapped new orders is one cause for caution. HSBC's China Flash PMI, designed to preview China's factory output before official data is released, edged up to 49.8 in August, from July's final reading of 49.3. But that still left the index a touch below the 50-point mark that demarcates expansion from contraction in activity. HSBC publishes its final China PMI index for August on Sept 1. Offers for Indian 63.5/63-grade ore rose a dollar to $186-$188 a tonne, including freight, on Tuesday, although quotes for Australian material were steady, with Newman fines at $181-$183, according to Chinese consultancy Umetal. The ongoing monsoon season as well as congested ports have disrupted shipments out of India, the world's No. 3 iron ore supplier after Australia and Brazil.

"In one week, you can only see four to five cargoes from India when normally it's around 8-10 shipments," said the shipping manager. "But we are expecting some low-grade iron ore from India tomorrow, for 58 percent Fe and below." Iron ore with 62-percent iron content rose 50 cents to $177.80 a tonne on Monday, matching a level reached on Aug. 9, according to The Steel Index. Metal Bulletin's 62-percent reference price eased 11 cents to $177.33 and a similar gauge by Platts IODBZ00-PLT was steady at $179.50. (Reuters) Heidmar targets ETA Emirates Trading Agency’s (ETA’s ) shipping empire is under fire in the US following the collapse of a commodity swap contract with Heidmar. The Connecticut-based pool operator is looking to claw back over $7.7m by way of a “Rule B” attachment order that names the Dubai-based tanker and bulker owner and three of its foreign affiliates as defendants. (click HERE to read the complaint in full) According to court documents, ETA has failed to settle monthly payments tied to a bunker swap contract penned in 2008, which the company used as a hedge against risk associated with fluctuations in the marine fuel oil market. “If the floating commodity reference price was above the fixed price for the month, Heidmar owed an amount to ETA based on the price difference and the quantity; if the floating commodity reference was below the fixed price, ETA owed an amount to Heidmar based on the price difference and the quantity,” the lawsuit explains. Heidmar claims the owner breached a “Special Payment Schedule Agreement” it forged on 1 February 2009 whereby ETA promised to pay a minimum of $500,000 per month until the contracts were satisfied. The operator is looking to freeze cash and other assets controlled by ETA and Dolphin Maritime of Cyprus in addition to Panamanian affiliates Queen Marine and Emperor Marine, entities which made payments to Heidmar on behalf of the parent at various times during the swap contracts. While ETA-linked debts, freight and hire credits have landed in the crosshairs, funds held by the Registry of the Court at a New Haven, Connecticut branch of Bank of America and by Hedimar subsidiary Sigma Tankers, appear to be the plaintiff’s primary targets. As TradeWinds has reported, there was a time when ETA was considered the rising star of the Middle Eastern shipping universe but the company was hit hard by the financial crisis in late 2008. Since then, it has been mired in a string of lawsuits from other shipowners over defaults on charter hire and cancelled contracts. The actions have unravelled ETA’s complex corporate hierarchy and the reorganisation of its global empire, which helped the company shield its assets from creditors when financial difficulties began to unfold in 2009 and 2010, Heidmar claims. Headquartered in Dubai, ETA controls a fleet of 34 bulkers, tankers and products carriers, according to data from Clarksons. (Tradewinds)

In Brief: Indices continued the upward movement as a result of the sharp increase on the capesize market, and the other sizes followed the same way. At week’s closing, BDI gained 156 points, BCI gained 413 points, BPI gained 68 points, BSI gained 71 points, and BHSI gained 7 points. Capes: A positive week across both basins with rates continuously rising. In the Atlantic we noticed that many new enquiries have entered the market for both Transatlantic and Fronthaul. In the Transatlantic trade, rates improved from USD 10.000 per day of last week, close to USD 14.000 per day for BCI type vessels. On the Brazil/China route, rates began from USD 19.50 pmt at the beginning of the week, and climbed up to USD 22.00 pmt towards week’s closing. In the Pacific region, the iron ore majors were also active and covered about 15 vessels for the Australia/China trade. Rates improved from USD 8.25pmt up to USD 8.75 pmt basis. Panamax: Activity increased across both basins and rates followed the same trend. In the Atlantic many cargoes emerged the market which seemed to be in good balance with the available tonnage. Rates for Transatlantic round started from USD 14.000 per day and continued rising closer to USD 15.000per day. On the Fronthaul trade, rates moved upwards close to USD 22.000 basis Continent/Mediterranean sea delivery, while some vessels opening USG were indicating levels around USD 25.000 + 500.000 ballast bonus. ECSA was not as active as it used to be, since the grain season comes to an end. In the Pacific activity improved too, mostly driven by the Indonesian coal exports for end August dates. Rates for Pacific improved close to 10-11.000per day, while some Charterers were willing to pay up to USD 12.000 basis S. China delivery for a trip to India. Rates for NOPAC improved significantly with vessels reported fixed at levels close to USD 11.000 per day basis delivery N.China/Japan range. (M/V Achilles 76878/04’).

Supramax: Activity remained in good levels.

In the Atlantic region, market was tight especially for prompt tonnage. USG market remains strong with rates for East Med., direction at USD mid twenties, while for F.East direction fixtures reported at USD 30.000 per day. On the ECSA, rates for trips back to Continent/Mediterranean were at USD 14-15.000 basis West Africa delivery, or the equivalent ballast bonus on APS basis In the pacific, Indonesia remained the driving force with coal and nickel ore to China. Rates for Pacific round improved closed to USD 12.000 per day, and in some cases fixtures reported at higher levels close to USD 14.000 basis N.China delivery for trip via Indonesia with Nickel ore back to China. Handysize: Market followed the same trend. In the Atlantic basin we see the usual cargoes ex Mediterranean to ECSA, and many grain parcels ex Black Sea. Many of the cargoes are destined for N.Africa, while there were also many going towards East, for those who could consider the G.O.A transit. On the ECSA market grain parcels were not plenty and same happened also with the sugar parcels. In the Pacific basin, Indonesia lead the way with many stems of coal to China and India. Ex N.China, there is still plenty of clinker to destination Bangladesh, and some fresh inquiries of steel parcels to S.E.Asia.

In Brief: The European Debt still concerns the Markets and especially the EU which is trying to find solutions to deal with the

present situation. Despite the global economic problems, commodities saw an increase in prices but this was not mirrored at the

freight rates of the tanker market, with many Shipowners and analysts discussing the prospects of continuance of the current

market levels and if so, for how long. Furthermore the price of Crude oil finished the week with no differentiation whatsoever.

VLCC: Owners in the n the Middle East where looking for the end of August and the beginning of the September cargoes to

witness an increase in demand, which unfortunately this has not happened yet. West Africa cargoes have found Eastern interest

and the rates were pushed slightly for trips to East coast India. Atlantic cargoes have not been easy to find and therefore rates

remained steady. Cargoes from the Caribs to West coast India increased slightly and towards Singapore remained relatively steady

due to competition.

Suezmax: Cargoes to the east where steady, although Western cargoes did not do so well. West Africa cargoes finished the week

with by WS 65 to US gulf and 70 for Europe and Black sea / Europe cargoes to the US Gulf finished the week at WS 57.5

Aframax: The sentiment was not positive for Cargoes to the East and hopes are that business will be better by next week. Med

cargoes move in low levels while in the Caribbean the week started positively, although in the weeks end Owners where seeing

WS 115.

Products: LR1’s in the Middle East enjoy upward trends due to the lack of tonnage positioned there, furthermore they seem to be

saving the day in the region also for LR2 rates, but this situation is frustrating. LR2’s had a disappointing week regarding Naphtha

cargoes with supply not being very promising for September for the time being. MR’s remain firm despite some signs of

weakening levels to the Far East. Med tonnages have not shown any signs of change although cross med cargoes are improving.

Continent cargo inquiries have shown positive signs.

Mixed feelings…..

The overall sentiment remained the same with a small number of reported transactions. The Tanker sector has shown

signs of significant price reduction, with the price of USD 36 million paid more than a week ago for a 2000 built VLCC being

on the low side, compared to the last done VLCC which was sold for USD 51 mill a few months ago. Furthermore, the Dry

sector shows small signs of activity and one can presume that Buyers are taking their positions for their next purchases, as

prices levels have also been reducing during the last few months.

Highlights of the week are:

It seems that SK shipping is the buyer of M/V “Conches” (about 180.000 dwt built Sungdong Korea 2011) for USD 58 mill

with a TC attached at USD 26.000 / day.

Market information regarding the sale of a “Samho” owned resale Capesize built 2011 Imabari with Delivery Q4 2011 to

“Cyprus Maritime” for USD mid 40ies is contradicting. While the general feeling is that the vessel has been committed,

others report that this is not the case. Whichever is true, this provides new prices for buyers of capesize resales with

prompt delivery, bringing their prices from USD 56 mill paid in March to the mid 40’s today.

Movement on the panamax sector has been notable this week. The M/V “Samho Nicole” (about 77.000 dwt built Namura

JPN 2007) seems to have found a buyer for region USD 26 million, much less than the original asking price of excess USD 30

mill earlier this summer. Furthermore, the M/V “Coral Sea”( about 74.000, Tsuneishi JPN built 1997) seems to have found a

buyer for USD 15.8 mill.

Enquiries from the Far-East have been increasing, as buyers show an increasing interest for Handymax and Panamax

Bulkers built mid / late 80ies, nevertheless interest for modern vessels is still there. Furthermore, Buyers from the same

geographical region are showing an increasing interest for LR1 and Aframax tankers built late 90ies as well as modern ones.

European buyers are more interested for modern vessels, with further interest remaining for 90ies tonnage mostly in the

Dry sector, as European tanker owners seem to be more interested in modern tankers.

NEWBUILDNGS

In the newbuldings market, we have seen 17 vessels reported to have been contracted.

15 Bulk carriers (Supramax, Kamsarmax, Capesize)

2 LNG (155.000 CBM)

DEMOLITION

This week continued the weakening trend and indicative prices softened further. Bangladeshi and Indian buyers were not

very eager to discuss for new tonnages. Pakistani buyers were not eager to discuss and offer on previous levels and

followed the weakening trend. The Chinese market remained stable with some buyers discussing vessels for deliveries in

South China.
