Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines IRISL resumes its container liner service to Northern Europe

With the call by the container ship Azargoun in Hamburg on 17th March 2016, IRISL – Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines – is reopening its regular liner service European Container Line (ECL) between Northern Europe and ports in the Persian Gulf following its closure in mid-2010 on account of sanctions.
The new service will be operating with 2,500teu containerships, calling at Hamburg and Antwerp, along with Genoa, Istanbul, Port Said and Bandar Abbas. The Azargoun is 207 metres long and 29.8 metres wide and was built for IRISL at what was then the Aker MTW shipyard in Wismar in 2003.

In addition, the SEVGI will be resuming the conventional liner service with multi-purpose tonnage between Northern Europe and the Persian Gulf. IRISL’s liner services will be represented in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands by the firm currently being jointly set up by Peter W Lampke & Co KG (PWL) and IRISL (Europe), namely IRISL Agency (North), based in Hamburg and with branches in Antwerp and Rotterdam.

Since the restricted opportunities for trading of recent years have generated immense pent-up demand for investment goods for the oil, automotive, chemical and energy sectors, German industrial companies, especially, anticipate an early revival in business activity. Germany is traditionally Iran’s largest trading partner in the West. Hamburg, in particular, where so many Iranians have settled and set up businesses, has for generations maintained very close and friendly relations with firms and state organizations in Iran. Prior to sanctions, the main imports via Hamburg were barley, potash fertilizers, feedstuffs and machinery. As exports from Iran, fresh and tinned fruit, yarns, other textiles, rubber and vegetables topped the list in the Port of Hamburg.

Thanks to significant quantities of natural resources – mainly oil, gas and ores – as well as an oil processing industry much expanded in recent years, Iran possesses a powerful economy. With capital that has so far been frozen on account of sanctions, this will ensure a steep revival in efforts by Iranian firms to import. Official visits by German companies and public sector delegations confirm the intense interest in expanding commercial relations with Germany. For several decades, IRISL has operated regular services with containerships and conventional tonnage. The company owns 170 vessels. In its East Asia service, for instance, IRISL deploys ships with a capacity of 6,500teu. Additional liner services to SE Asia are run with 2,200 to 2,500teu ships. IRISL also runs container services from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean as well as East Africa.

Asia-Europe container rates down 80%

Spot rates for containers shipped by sea from Asia to Europe continue to decline on the slow pace of the European economic recovery and the sluggish flow of exported industrial products from Asia.
hj.jpg
hj.jpg (87.28 KiB) 10802 keer bekeken
The fee per 20-foot container has ranged between $200 and $250 since late February — 80% cheaper than the recent peak in late December and well below the rate of $1,400 to $1,500 thought to be the break-even line for the shipping industry.

Shipping companies are negotiating fiscal 2016 contracts with major cargo owners, and falling spot rates are one factor dragging contract prices lower.

The equivalent of 1.37 million 20-foot containers was shipped in January, down 1.8% on the year, according to the Japan Maritime Center. Cargo volumes topped those of a year earlier for the first time in 10 months this past December but promptly began declining again.

Terrorist attacks in Europe have hurt the region’s tourism industry. “If this effect ripples over to consumer spending, it could have an impact on container shipping volumes,” warns Yasumi Kudo, president of the Japanese Shipowners’ Association.

Drewry: Container Shipping Approaching Crucial Trigger Point in 2016

Further expected container shipping liner losses throughout the first half of 2016, exacerbated by the awful prevailing spot and contract freight rates will lead to a major trigger point at some stage later this year. This will happen either through radical capacity management at the trade route level and/or a much more sensible and logical approach to commercial pricing, according to the latest Container Forecaster report published by global shipping consultancy Drewry.

Global rate levels are no longer sustainable and with the lines’ GRI mechanism soon to be defunct on European trades due to new EU regulations that are about to be implemented, carriers will need to find new tools.
dw.jpg
dw.jpg (76.67 KiB) 10592 keer bekeken
Drewry estimates that global freight rates will deteriorate further this year while at the same time carriers will no longer be able to reduce costs at the same pace, given that the main advantages of lower fuel prices have already been realised.

At the moment, ocean carriers continue to cling to the vain belief that the lower slot costs of the 14,000 teu and 18,000 teu vessels will bring them success. However, Drewry’s contention after a recent study is that the hoped for economies of scale are much reduced after vessels of this size are deployed.

The three months grace just given to beleaguered HMM does nothing to dispel the myth that ocean carriers are made of bullet proof material. Asking shipowners to bail them out by drastically cutting charter rates is a sign of the times. Having focused on the cost side for so long, it is vital that carriers turn themselves to the revenue side of the equation if shippers are to have a sustainable container industry.

Some 66 void sailings in February in the major east-west trades did nothing to prop up freight rates. A global idle fleet that hit one million teu (5%) by March also seemed to do little to sentiment. Drewry even heard anecdotally that spot rate levels from Asia to the West Mediterranean reached as low as $5 per 40ft.

While global handling growth is forecast to reach an estimated 2.1% in 2016 and this is by no means back in 2009 negative territory, the industry could get very ugly by the second half of this year if current commercial trends continue. Drewry believes a trigger point will be reached when more radical action on the capacity front will have to take place.

Neil Dekker, Drewry’s director of container research added: “This inflection point will only deliver any kind of market stability if carriers start to use their in-house rate profitability models and offer commercially sustainable freight rates. Ocean carriers should be looking at revenue per teu rather than industry load factors. In a world where overcapacity is a given on every trade, headhaul load factors of, for example, 85% need not be considered a disaster by any means. With 2.6 million teu of new capacity to be delivered by the end of 2017 this kind of load factor and potentially even lower is the new reality, so get used to it.”

Suez Canal in 30% rebate US East Coast - Asia bound containerships

The Suez Canal Authority is offering a 30% rebate for containerships transiting canal from US East Coast ports and destined for Asia.
The rebate applies to vessels sailing from New York and ports to the south of it on the US East Coast and then calling in Asia at Port Klang, Malaysia and ports eastwards according to Alphaliner’s weekly newsletter.

The rebate applies to vessels leaving New York after 7 March and is initially valid for 90 days. The rebate is aimed at recapturing traffic from the US East Coast to Asia that has opted sail via the Cape of Good Hope on the backhaul even though the distance is 12,412 nm compared to 10,117 nm via the Suez Canal given lower bunker prices and avoiding paying the canal tolls.

“The longer sailing distance is compensated by slightly higher speeds so that the rotation durations are not much affected. The detour is a viable option on the backhaul legs which are less transit time sensitive than headhaul legs,” Alphaliner noted.

The analyst said that six out nine Asia – US East Coast services had been returning to Asia via the Cape of Good Hope since late 2015.

Maersk May Swallow Hyundai Merchant

Business Korea reports that rumours are now rife in the container business world that Maersk could swoop on Hyundai Merchant Marine and subsume its activities into their own business.
hy.jpg
hy.jpg (74.53 KiB) 10077 keer bekeken
The report says that recent moves by Hyundai Merchant Marine to join the 2M alliance led by Maersk and MSC, it is predicted that the Korean company will be taken over by Maersk 'if it ever gets on its feet again'
Even though it is still a prediction, if the prediction becomes a reality, it is highly likely that the sell-off of Hyundai Merchant Marine will receive strong backlash with a mounting criticism that the government sold a major national flag carrier for a giveaway price.

*****
According to the shipping industry and creditors, a prediction is spreading that Maersk will discuss ways to buy equities in the Korean shipping company with the Korean government and the Korea Development Bank after its normalization.
“If the price is right, there is no reason for not selling Hyundai Merchant Marine to Maersk,” a government official said.

The takeover rumor surfaced as Hyundai Merchant Marine announced that they were negotiating over joining the 2M on June 23.
