Following the Chinese regulatory authorities’ rejection of the proposed ‘P3 Alliance’, Maersk Line and MSC have signed a new 10-year vessel-sharing agreement (VSA) to cover the mainlane East-West trades: Far East - Europe, Transpacific and Transatlantic. Dubbed ‘2M’, the agreement will include around 185 vessels of a combined 2.1m TEU, operating on 21 services. Maersk will contribute around 110 ships, accounting for 55% of total ‘2M’ capacity. The partnership will have a smaller market share than the aborted ‘P3 Network’, accounting for an estimated 35% of Far-East Europe capacity. The carriers will terminate all other VSAs on the mainlane trade routes. Under a standard VSA, Maersk and MSC will operate their ships independently, as well as having separate sales, pricing, marketing and procurement functions. The duo hope to start their partnership in early 2015, subject to regulatory approval. According to the latest CTS data, the volume of European box imports from Asia rose by 13.2% y-o-y in May to 1.37m TEU. This brings volumes in the first five months of the year to 6.17m TEU, a 8.0% y-o-y increase. On the backhaul leg however, trade reportedly expanded by just 2.0% y-o-y in May, to hit
0.58m TEU, bringing year-to date volumes to 2.85m TEU, a 1.5% y-o-y increase. Meanwhile, according to US customs sources, volumes on the eastbound Transpacific trade rose by an estimated 6.8% y-o-y in May to 1.13m TEU, bringing the total in the first five months of the year to 5.36m TEU, a 5.1% y-o-y increase.

According to the Shanghai Containeri-sed Freight Index, spot rates for boxes shipped from Shanghai to Europe fell to $1,302/TEU on the 11th July, down from $1,416/TEU at the start of the month. So far this year the rate on the route has averaged $1,277/TEU, 17% higher than the full year 2013 average of $1,090/TEU. Meanwhile, Shanghai-Mediterranean rates fell to $1,567/TEU on 11th July down from $1,700/TEU at the start of the month. Elsewhere, freight rates for boxes shipped from Shanghai to the US West Coast sat at $1,824/FEU on 11th July. So far this year rates on the route have averaged $1,900/FEU, 6% lower than the full year 2013 average of $2,028/FEU. Meanwhile, spot rates to the US
East Coast were recorded at $3,598/FEU in early July and have averaged $3,331/FEU so far this year, marginally above their 2013 average of $3,285/FEU. Non-mainlane freight rates continue to enjoy mixed fortunes. According to the SCFI, Shanghai-Santos rates rose to $1,314/TEU on 11th July, their highest level since February and more than double the June lows. However, the ytd average on the route of $1,009/TEU remains 27% below the 2013 average of $1,384/TEU. Elsewhere, Shanghai - Melbourne rates sat at $622/TEU, down 24% on their 2013 average. However, box rates to Lagos have averaged $1,895/TEU so far this year, just 2% down on their full year 2013 average of $1,926/TEU. In the opening six months of 2014, container throughput at the port of Singapore reached 16.5m TEU, a 4.4% y-o-y increase. Meanwhile, handling at Hong Kong totalled 11.3m TEU over the same period, a rise of 5.2% y-o-y.

Idle Containership Fleet
% of total fleet capacity, TEU
Source: CRSL, AXS Alphaliner
Total containership capacity in lay-up stood at 0.24m TEU by mid-July, according to data from Alphaliner. 131 idleships account for 1.4% of overall containership fleet capacity. However, charter owned tonnage accounts for 90% of the idled capacity, including 49 charter owned ships of 1,000-1,999 TEU, and37 of 500-999 TEU. The US Federal Maritime Commission granted unanimous approval for the CKYHEcarriers (COSCO, K-Line, Yang Ming, Hanjin, Evergreen) to discuss the expansion of their cooperation to Transpacific and Transatlantic trades. The alliance has been operating on Asia-Europe trades since Q1 2014, and, while most of the lines have existing slot-sharing agreements on US routes, they will now begin to explore a more formal alliance.

Supply/Demand
Outlook
Global container trade is currently projected to expand by 6.0% in 2014, with 6.7% growth forecast for next year. Mainlane trade growth is expected to hit 5.0% this year, with European and US import growth proving spritely so far this year. Far East-Europe volumes are currently projected to register growth of 6.2% in full year 2014, while eastbound Transpacific trade is projected to grow by 5.4% over the year. Non-mainlane East-West trades are expected to improve following a lacklustre 2013, and are projected to expand by 5.8% this year to 21.3m TEU. Elsewhere, total North-South volumes are forecast to grow by 5.7% in 2014. Meanwhile, total intra-regional trade is expected to grow by 6.9% this year, with the largest component of global trade - intra-Asian volumes - projected to grow by 7.7% to 48.2m TEU. Global container capable supply is expected to increase by 4.8% this year. As such, it looks likely to be outstripped by global demand growth. The amount of capacity in lay-up has fallen seasonally to 0.24m TEU, the lowest for three years, but 82% of this is charter owned tonnage, surplus capacity that helps to supress rates in the charter market. Meanwhile, freight rates on individual trade lanes remain volatile, and are largely determined by the management of supply growth, which itself is dictated by the speed of cascading down from the mainlanes as high-capacity ships are delivered apace. However, improving demand overall, along with the elevated levels of scrapping (0.28m TEU was sold for demolition in 1H 2014), should help to alleviate some of the supply pressure over the course of the year. In addition, the still thin orderbook in the smaller sizes could be good news for the charter market in the medium-term.

• The containership charter market continued to see a relatively healthy level of activity in the second half of June and into July. In the Post-Panamax sector, a number of relets found employment, with a robust level of demand and a falling number of idle vessels. Demand also held solid in the Caribbean feeder market which has proved stable so far this year. Overall however, the Asian market continued to account for the largest share of fixture activity, although a significant portion of these deals have been the renewal of existing contracts. The 2,000-3,000 TEU market has seen the bulk of activity here, with periods typically flexible up to six months. • In the Post-Panamax sector, the guideline 3-yeartimecharter rate for a 9,000 TEU containership was $39,500/day in June, slightly higher than the full year 2013 average of $37,625/day. Meanwhile, the guideline 6-12 month 4,400 TEU Panamax charter rate rose to $8,750/day in June, exceeding the 2013 average of $8,696/day. In the smaller sizes, the guideline rate for a gearless 2,750 TEU boxship rose slightly to $7,250/day, with the guideline rate for a geared 2,500 TEU vessel at the same level.

• Summer in the Northern Hemisphere has seen a marked slowdown in contracting activity in the containership sector. At the start of July Arkas Line ordered an additional two 2,500 TEU containerships at Zhejiang Ohua. This follows their initial order for two units in April, taking the series to four vessels. Delivery is scheduled for 2016 and 2017. • In the PCC sector, K-Line placed an order for two 7,500 ceu vessels at Japanese yard Toyohashi Shipbuilding. The ships are scheduled to be delivered in 2017. So far this year, 16 PCCs of a combined 102,200 ceu have been ordered. This includes 12 ships of 7,000+ ceu, two vessels of 3,800 ceu, and two smaller ships of 2,000 ceu each. • In the MPP sector, 33 vessels were contracted in the first half of 2014, all at Chinese shipyards. 22 of these ships are of 12-12,500 dwt, while four very large 55,500 dwt MPP vessels were contracted at Taizhou Kouan in April, with delivery set for 2016-17.

• Twelve containerships of a combined 23,205 TEU were sold for demolition in June, bringing the total in 1H 2014 to 104 ships of 281,128 TEU. This included 14 Post-Panamax ships of a combined 68,944 TEU and 35 Panamaxes of 3,000+ TEU with a totalling 139,960 TEU. Current projections suggest that 0.50m TEU of boxship capacity will be scrapped in 2014, with 0.37m TEU expected to be sold for demolition in 2015. • The average age of the containerships sold for scrap in the first half of 2014 was 21.2 years, including 24 ships of less than 18 years old. In comparison, the average age of boxships scrapped last year was 22.8 years. • An early July emergency budget in India has cut import duty from 5% to 2.5%, which may lead to a $10-15/ldt increase in demolition prices there. Alternative scrapping locations are likely to struggle to compete with the expected boost in prices.

• In early July, Singapore-based Pacific International Lines raised $241m in the bond market as part of a medium-term note programme of up to $800m. The first issuance for a three year bond was oversubscribed, with the yield of 5.9% below the initial guidance of 6.25%-6.375%. PIL’s finance raising comes as it gears up for expansion in the emerging markets of Africa (which accounted for 40% of its revenue in 2013) and the Middle East, with a two pronged strategy of investing in new fuel-efficient vessels as well as retro-fitting older ships to allow for slow steaming. The privately owned group made a loss of $66.1m in 2013, following a profit of $178m in 2012. PIL blamed last year’s losses on the soft freight rate environment along with weak orders for Singamas, the world’s second largest container manufacturer in which it has a 39% stake. • The Clarksons Liner Share Price Index stood at 257.2 points by early July, having declined by 3.0% since the start of 2014.

• Supported by improving European consumer demand, FarEast-Europe headhaul trade volumes have displayed strong growth so far this year, and are currently projected to expandby 6.2% in full year 2014 to 15.1m TEU. This would representthe fastest annual growth since the bounce-back year of 2010.Meanwhile, on the other key mainlane route headhaul Transpacific trade volumes are currently expected to grow by5.4% this year to 14.6m TEU, which would also be thestrongest growth since 2010.
• The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has ruled that theUS illegally imposes tariffs on some products imported from China and India, including steel and solar panels. However,the US argues that the tariffs combat the artificially low pricesthat are supported by overt and hidden subsidies to state-owned industries. As part of an ongoing series of tradedisputes, the US is expected to appeal the ruling.

• Terminal operators Bollore and APMT have secured loans totalling $272m to develop Abidjan’s second container terminal. Once completed, the new facility will have a berth length of 1,100m and an annual capacity of 2.1m TEU.
• Dutch dredging specialist Van Oord has started deepening the River Mersey as part of the project to develop a new deep-water container terminal for the port of Liverpool. The new facility, named ‘Liverpool 2’ is scheduled to open in 2015, and is designed to handle large Post-Panamax vessels, although it faces competition from established hubs Southamp-ton, Felixstowe and the new Thames Gateway.
• Europe’s largest two container ports, Rotterdam and Hamburg, were suffering from congestion and delays in June and into July. The finger of blame was pointed at larger containerships, which are creating unprecedented volume peaks at the terminals. In addition, in today’s high bunker price environment, when faced with a late-running service, operators are reluctant to burn excess fuel in an attempt to catch up.
• The 18,270 TEU ‘Madison Maersk’ became the largest containership to call at Nansha (Guangzhou) in the Pearl River Delta. The Triple-E vessel made an off-schedule stop, loading and discharging more than 12,000 TEU during its 28-hour stay. The port’s South China Oceangate terminal has a quay length of 2,100m and is equipped with 22 ultra-large container cranes.
• Container handling at major Indian ports increased by just under 4% y-o-y in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014-15, with total volumes at the country’s 12 state owned ports reaching 1.94m TEU. Nhava Sheva handled 1.1m TEU over the period, a 6% y-o-y rise, while traffic at Chennai port reached 0.38m TEU, a 2% y-o-y increase.

Container Commentary
The rejection of the proposed ‘P3 Alliance’ by Chinese regulatory authorities, on the grounds of poten-tially excessive market share on key trade lanes, again raises the issue of consolidation in the container-ship market. This month we look at the fleets of the top ten boxship operators, and look at how concen-trated the containership sector really is.

A Consolidated Sector In terms of operation, the containership industry is the most consolidated part of the major volume sectors. At the start of July 2014 the top ten container lines in the world operated a fleet of 11.6m TEU, equivalent to 66% of total fully cellular capacity (17.6m TEU). These carriers have been responsible for deploying over 75% of total additional capacity since July 2009, when their share of total fleet ca-pacity was 62%. As a result, the combined deployed fleets of the top ten carriers have expanded by 48% over the last five years, compared to growth amongst smaller lines of 25%. Fleet growth has been unevenly distribut-ed, with some carriers pursuing fleet ex-pansion more intensively than others. The Big Three (Too Big for P3!) Above all, one thing jumps out from the graph, how much larger the ‘big three’ carriers are than the rest of the top ten. Maersk (no. 1 operator) has seen its op-erated capacity expand by 35% over the last five years to 2.7m TEU, accounting for 14% of total capacity growth, while its market share slipped slightly to 15.4% from 15.9% in July 2009. Meanwhile, CMA-CGM’s (no. 3) fleet grew by 56% over the same period to 1.6m TEU, ac-counting for 11% of total fleet growth, and increasing its market share from 8.0% to 9.0%. However, in terms of actual capaci-ty growth, MSC (no. 2) has contributed most, its operated fleet expanding by 62% since July 2009 to reach 2.5m TEU. Accounting for 19% of all boxship fleet growth over the period, MSC’s share of the fleet has risen from 12.0% to 14.1%.
Together, these three carriers operated 6.8m TEU at start July 2014, equivalent to 38% of the overall containership fleet, a share that has risen from 36% in July 2009. Their combined fleets have grown by 49% (2.2m TEU) over the last five years, accounting for 45% of all boxship fleet growth. Even without P3, they re-main the biggest fish in the sea. Mergers & Alliances Smaller carriers have also explored paths towards a larger market share. The forth-coming merger between Hapag-Lloyd and Chilean liner company CSAV will create the world’s fourth largest carrier.
1.0m TEU is currently operated by the pair, 6% of the containership fleet. Mean-while, the expansion of both the G6 Alli-ance, and the CKYHE group of carriers, to Transpacific and Transatlantic trade lanes, in order to provide full East-West coverage, demonstrates another trend in increased cooperation. Compared to many other shipping sec-tors, containership operation is relatively consolidated. Despite the collapse of P3, the big three carriers together have a significant and expanding market share. In addition, across the liner sector, opera-tors continue to pursue closer ties through mergers and alliance building.
