  • World Ship Orderbook Recovery Continues
    The total world ship orderbook has continued to recover from the drop seen at the end of the March 1998 quarter. In figures recently published by Lloyd's Register (LR) in its quarterly World Shipbuilding Statistics, the total world orderbook grew by 2.1 million gross tonnage (mgt) in the quarter to end-September 1998. It now stands at 57.7 mgt -- a rise of nearly 4 percent against the previous quarter. The orderbook now stands 1.1 mgt higher than at the end of the December 1997 quarter, and shows a 7.2 mgt increase over the same quarter last year.
    New orders reported in the quarter totaled almost 8.5 mgt, returning to similar levels to those reported in March, June and September 1997, but still well down on December 1997's impressive 11.5 mgt of new orders. This quarter's 8.3 mgt of new orders are well above the 5.8 mgt reported in March 1998 and the 6.5 mgt reported in June 1998.
    Completions in the quarter remained relatively constant at around 6 mgt. This average has been maintained throughout 1996, 1997 and 1998 to date; although an increase to 6.9 mgt was recorded in March 1998, this fell back to 5.7 mgt in both June and September 1998. Japan and South Korea continue to dominate the market. Japan has pulled slightly ahead of South Korea with her orderbook now standing at 20.1 mgt, representing almost 35 percent of the total world orderbook. South Korea's total orderbook stands at 18.9 mgt, representing 33 percent of the total world orderbook. Japan's lead over South Korea was helped by securing 10 new orders for crude oil tankers totaling 1.1 mgt, compared with South Korea's 0.9 mgt of new orders for the same shiptype. Although South Korea remains the world's largest builder of vessels of this shiptype, her lead over Japan has been steadily eroded: at the end of the March 1998 quarter, South Korea was contracted to build 54 percent of all crude oil tankers on the world order book, with Japanese builders contracted to build 37 percent. By the end of the September 1998 quarter, South Korea's share had fallen to 47 per cent and Japan's share had risen to 46 per cent. The delivery schedule of the current world ship orderbook shows that some 17 percent is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with a further 50 percent expected to be completed by the end of the century. Around 38 percent of the 28.9 mgt of ships scheduled for completed in 1999 are either crude oil tankers or oil products tankers.   Offshore supply and other offshore vessels also have shown significant increases in activity since the end of the September 1997 quarter, with an increase of around 45 percent in orders in offshore supply ships. In the category other offshore, which includes floating production, storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs), there has been an increase of over 66 percent, with the total orderbook for this shiptype now at 951,988 gt.
