SnP activity keeps firming on a weekly basis, with MR tonnage remaining particularly popular in Buyers investing in the sector at the moment, while on the dry bulk side we had the first Capesize sale for 2019, which compared to the last done back in November indicates a discount of almost 13%.

The newbuilding market continues to see healthy activity, with all of the most recently surfacing deals notably concerning tanker orders exclusively. The ten in total, firm and optional, orders consisting of VLCC and Aframax sized vessels could be signalling the pickup in newbuilding activity that most have been expecting during the second half of 2019 and only a few months ahead of the IMO 2020.

In one of the busiest weeks of 2019 in terms of reported orders, the appetite for newbuilding tonnage across the more conventional sectors remains evident, while despite the overall drop in dry bulk orders this year so far it seems that Post-Panamax orders remain popular among owners looking to invest in the sector.

The very healthy activity the newbuilding market has seen throughout 2018 has definitely set the bar high for the current year and although we believe that things will not be as busy during 2019, it seems that January has kicked off with an impressive number of orders. Indeed, in the list with the most recently surfacing deals, we see contracting appetite very much alive across all of the more conventional sectors, with gas carrier orders once again standing out given the recent boom in contracting the sector has seen.

Despite the smaller list of freshly inked deals surfacing compared to the week prior, contracting activity in both the dry bulk and tanker sector remains healthy indeed, with the pair of Kamsarmax units ordered by Foremost Group bringing the number of firm 2019 reported orders in this size to thirteen. This translates to an admittedly impressive 30% increase for Kamsarmax orders year to date, which comes as additional confirmation that newbuilding activity continues to find inspiration much more on expectations of a stronger market in the next couple of years and less on the performance of the freight market in the year so far, which on its own has been anything but inspirational for additional ordering.

In terms of recently surfacing orders, last week has certainly been quieter when compared to average weekly volumes throughout the first quarter of the year, with the order of four firm Handysize vessels in Japan certainly being the most notable, given that this is the second Handysize order during the year so far, which brings the total 2019 orders in the size up to eight. Compared to the first quarter of last year, this means that Handysize ordering is increased about 300%, which is quite significant especially if one compares this increase to the dramatic decrease in ordering of Capesize/VLOC vessels this years, which is estimated at -92%, outlining the difference in prevailing sentiment in the two sizes.
