📣 Allied Shipbroking: "The unprecedented restrictions on Panama Canal transits that were implemented in 2023 have been steadily unwinding over 2024. Analysis of AXSMarine data shows the number of dry bulk vessels transiting the canal in each of August and September just in excess of 200, and while this is still substantially below 2022 levels (the last ‘normal’ year), it is more than three times the number of bulkers that passed through the canal in January." 👇 Check out Allied Shipbroking's full analysis below. ℹ️ As we've previously covered, the Panama Canal traffic is indeed picking up in recent months. 📊 Looking at September, in particular, the most positive trend can be extracted from the Panamax fleet's performance - vessels between 68K MT and 85K MT of deadweight. 🙌 As they were among the Dry Bulk segments most severely impacted by the Canal drought, last month was the first time since early-2023 when a year-over-year increase was registered, with 27 crossings occuring, compared to 23 in 2023. 💡 Our AXSInsights solution allows you to monitor vessel traffic through the Panama Canal and every other maritime chokepoint in real time. ✅ Find out more at https://bit.ly/3Lu0w6t
The unprecedented restrictions on Panama Canal transits that were implemented in 2023 have been steadily unwinding over 2024. From July last year through to January, the depth of Gatun Lake was more then 5% below the 1-year seasonal average, and only returned to normal levels in July this year. The eye-catching weakness of the Panamax-Kamsarmax market over the past few months has been attributed at least in part to increased transits passing through the Panama Canal. Certainly, the top chart - showing the number of dry bulk vessels transiting the canal each month—would offer some support of this. In each of August and September, the number of transits was just in excess of 200, and while this is still substantially below 2022 levels (the last ‘normal’ year), it is more than three times the number of bulkers that passed through the canal in January. In August, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announced that it would be launching a new system for booking slots, called the Long-Term Slot Allocation. The pilot of this is set to begin in January 2025 and run for a year, with packages targeting container vessels, and LNG/LPG vessels. Auctions have begun already, although we will have to wait and see if these new rules will disrupt old trade patterns just as water levels return to normal.

🏴 The Tanker Shadow fleet consists of vessels either directly connected to Russian, Iranian, or Venezuelan companies (such as Sovcomflot, NITC, PDVSA, etc.), or owned by shell companies with no track record of ship management, undertaking Russian business, loading Russian cargo, or involved in suspicious ship-to-ship (STS) transfers. 🛢️ 📊 By our estimates, over 700 active Tankers can currently be classed as part of the Shadow fleet. Over 60% of Russia's current Crude Oil exports are carried by this fleet, which itself is subdivided in a Dark and Ghost category. The average age of the Dark fleet vessels currently averages at 17 years, while the Ghost fleet is even older at an average of 19 years. 👴 📉 The increased market demand for older larger vessels has led to a practical halt of Tanker demolitions for ships over 85K MT of deadweight. Since the start of 2023, only 4 vessels of the Aframax, Suezmax, and VLCC categories have been scrapped. The last time a VLCC (200K MT deadweight) arrived at a scrap yard was in October 2022. ⌛ 💡 Our latest blog article explores in more detail the relationship between the rise of the Shadow fleet, the latest trends in the demolition market, and the effect on the overall average age of the global Tanker fleet. 👨💻 👉 Check it out in full detail at https://bit.ly/4gGMPj0
📢 The orderbook for ro-pax ferries in the large-size segment, i.e. exceeding a gross tonnage of 30,000, stood at 17 ships as of September 30ᵗʰ. Out of them, 11 were on order or under construction in China with the remaining 6 ships spread between European and Japanese shipyards. 🗺️ ⌛ With the imminent delivery of "SAINT-MALO" and "GNV POLARIS", the orderbook will further shrink. Excluding the few newbuild projects that are in the pipeline and Grimaldi Group’s planned nine-ship order, AXSRoRo doesn’t expect a double-digit ro-pax order boom in the short to medium term. 📊 🛳️ This is due to newbuild prices having gone through the roof, as container ship orderbooks have swelled exponentially lately. The Chinese shipyards building ro-pax ferries are also active in the PCTC segment, putting further pressure on prices and slots. 💰 ✅ Check out the latest news short-sea, deep-sea ro-ro freighters and ro-paxes in the latest issue of our monthly AXSRoRo newsletter and join our growing community at https://bit.ly/3XOzRqJ. 📰
🚢💨 The constantly changing GHG regulations and introductions of new methodologies and measurements, such as CII ratings, impose a sense of insecurity towards the way the maritime industry should approach CO₂ emissions. As shipping strives to reduce its carbon footprint, it's essential to stay informed about how fleet performance and future operations would be affected. ⚙️🌍 Adopting latest technologies and relying on accurate data is more crucial than ever. A thorough view of your fleet's CO₂ emissions down to individual vessels and voyages can help optimize operational strategies and ensure compliance, all while staying competitive in this rapidly evolving landscape. 💡 Our CO₂ suite was specifically designed to address these challenges and keep you on top of IMO guidelines.

📣 URSA Shipbrokers: "Based on vessel tracking data from AXSMarine, bulk seaborne iron ore exports from Ukraine have shown a notable rebound in 2024. This recovery has been driven by the reopening of maritime export routes and strong demand, particularly from China, which accounts for about 78% of Ukraine’s exports. These exports are primarily transported via #Capesize dry bulk carriers (around 77%). Vessel tracking data estimates that Ukraine’s exports in 2024 thus far stand at approximately 11.27 MMT, already representing almost 424% of the total figures for 2023 and 315% of the total for 2022." 👇 Check out Dionysios Tsilioris' detailed analysis of Ukraine's Iron Ore exports rebounding in 2024 below. 💡 You can also find out more about the tools he had at his disposal at https://bit.ly/4fZsu8j.
Ukraine's Iron Ore Exports Rebound, Below Pre-War Levels Ukraine has traditionally been an iron ore exporter, with a significant portion of its iron ore shipped to #China. Ukrainian iron ore exports are typically transported by rail to ports on the Black Sea, such as Odessa and Pivdennyi (Yuzhny), before being shipped to international markets. Prior to 2022, Ukraine's bulk seaborne exports of iron ore averaged approximately 20.77 MMT annually since 2013 (the beginning of reliable AIS satellite vessel movement data). Seaborne exports in 2021 are estimated to have reached 25.40 MMT, based on vessel tracking data from AXSMarine. However, they saw a sharp 85% year-on-year (YOY) drop to 3.58 MMT in 2022, followed by a further 25% YOY decrease to 2.65 MMT in 2023. AIS data indicates that no bulk seaborne exports of iron ore from Ukraine took place between March 2022 and August 2023. Bulk seaborne iron ore exports from Ukraine have shown a notable rebound in 2024. This recovery has been driven by the reopening of maritime export routes and strong demand, particularly from China, which accounts for about 78% of Ukraine’s exports. These exports are primarily transported via #Capesize dry bulk carriers (around 77%). Vessel tracking data estimates that Ukraine’s exports in 2024 thus far stand at approximately 11.27 MMT, already representing almost 424% of the total figures for 2023 and 315% of the total for 2022. Exports between January and August 2024 are estimated to have reached 10.25 MMT, which is around 36% lower than the same period in 2021 (January to August 2021: 16.09 MMT) and about 28% lower than the January to August average total exports for the five-year period from 2017 to 2021 (January to August 2017/2021: 14.27 MMT). Despite the rebound, volumes have not yet fully recovered due to ongoing hostilities, as Ukrainian iron ore exporters continue to face obstacles, including high transportation costs and ongoing instability resulting from the war.

📰 Allied Shipbroking: "Analysis of AXSMarine data shows China’s crude imports saw significant growth, rising 9.5% m-o-m to reach 39.9 million MT, up from 36.5 million MT the previous month, as refiners rushed to increase their run rates to meet rising demand in September. On the other hand, India’s crude imports experienced a stark decrease of 18.4%, falling to 17.5 million MT from 21.5 million MT in July, due to suppressed demand after unplanned maintenance. Overall, Asia’s imports recovered from a two-year low in July, partly due to typical seasonality driven by restocking ahead of winter, but also due to favourable pricing." 🧠 Check out Allied's full analysis of the latest trends in the Crude Oil market below: 👇 ℹ️ AXSTanker's Trade Flows module allows you to monitor any commodity worldwide. 🌐 💡 Discover the trends that matter to you at https://bit.ly/3XVmSoH.
Tankers have been faced with decaying earnings since of June, with the charter market softening under the typical lull seen over the summer period. Several weeks into September, the market appears to be bottoming out and rates are beginning to climb for the crude carriers in particular. In August, Brent crude prices fell by 6% to an average of $78.88/b amid weaker refining margins across major hubs, which reduced demand for crude. China’s crude imports saw significant growth, rising 9.5% m-o-m to reach 39.9 million MT, up from 36.5 million MT the previous month, as refiners rushed to increase their run rates to meet rising demand in September. On the other hand, India’s crude imports experienced a stark decrease of 18.4%, falling to 17.5 million MT from 21.5 million MT in July, due to suppressed demand after unplanned maintenance. With refinery maintenance season in India peaking in September, we expect subdued demand to extend through the end of Q3. Interestingly, despite the overall decline in India’s crude imports, VLCCs captured a significant market share of crude loadings, achieving the highest number of voyages year-to-date (YTD). This surge was driven by higher imports from the Middle East Gulf (up 2.7% m-o-m) and a doubling of crude loadings from the U.S. Gulf (USG). Overall, Asia’s imports recovered from a two-year low in July, partly due to typical seasonality driven by restocking ahead of winter, but also due to favourable pricing. Typical seasonality is positive for a recovery in earnings over the rest of the month and into Q3. However, OPEC has delayed a planned production increase from October, a fairly bearish signal for demand. This could be a warning sign for tanker demand over the coming period, and could become a more serious negative signal if this production increase is postponed yet again, from its new start date of the beginning of December. In the meantime, Brent has rallied over the past week and has reached the low $70s/bbl, up from recent lows of around $68/bbl, although only time will tell whether it can hold out at a level high enough to satisfy OPEC and encourage a bit more oil to flow.
