Shipping Update
Further material improvements in September - March winter average rates expected:
Average TFDE winter rates increased from around $40kpd in 2016/7 to $60kpd in 2017/8. Further material
increases expected over next 2-3 years.
Expected seasonal softening to negatively impact 2Q TCE - will be around half 1Q levels.
New production and widening trading margins once again driving up ton miles and absorbing vessels.
Notable increase in period cover requirements. Trend expected to accelerate in 2H.
Market remains structurally short of vessels. Increasingly difficult to order a vessel to deliver before 2021.
