  • Box market abandons hope of charter rates recovery
    IF the containership charter rates had followed their theoretical trend line, the downward slide in rates which persisted throughout 1996 should have begun turning back upwards by May this year.
  • Phosphate freight eases in light trade
    BUSINESS has been limited for freight of phosphate and bauxite on board panamax dry bulkers over the past week and though there were at least two bauxite cargoes expected to be fixed ahead of the weekend, not much else has surfaced.
  • Customer choice
    TIME was when a marine administration was a government department charged with regulating shipping that flew its flag, which it did with varying degrees of efficiency. The "traditional" maritime nations called the shots internationally and the owners that used them were largely nationals of those countries. It was unlikely that those owners would ever think of themselves as the "customers" of those marine administrations, even though they would invariably be taxpayers. A different culture - possibly even language - seemed to apply.
  • Another year
    IT now seems certain that European Union member states will decide to retain existing levels of shipyard subsidies for a further 12 months, a decision that will be received with a certain amount of relief by European shipbuilders worried sick about the plummeting currencies of the Far East. There are some stalwarts who will maintain, as thay have done for years that to maintain this charade is to perpetuate the global shipyard surplus and that somehow the circle of dependency must be broken.
