    Future prospects

    With vessel order books at record low levels, this is the first time for a long time that dry cargo shipping looks to be in a good place. If we look at publicly listed dry cargo companies, their share prices have languished and declined consistently over the last 10 years. However, in recent months most have at least doubled. Optimism is high!  https://tradeviews.net/do-you-follow-commodity-prices/

    Next big shipping boom?

    2021 has so far been a great year for the dry bulk market with Supramaxes, Panamaxes and Capesizes all experiencing decade-high earnings. We asked Carlos if this is the beginning of a boom period for shipping? After a very positive first quarter, he is “optimistic because we see growth in the world, people are coming back to hospitality, events, construction etc” in Q1 on the Supramaxes we had “97% utilization which is huge” and “cargoes are flowing from everywhere all the time with no difficulty”. In general, life is returning with governments and businesses around the world looking to recover from 2020 and he can’t see any reason not to be optimistic about the future going forward. He urged shipowners to learn from the experience of the past few years and not go crazy and order too many new vessels. Instead, he encouraged them to take advantage of the second-hand market — a message that our CEO, Mr Radziwill, has said countless times. https://ctmmc.medium.com/ctm-podcast-ep…na-d0777722bfd6

    ORDERBOOK/SUPPLY - The publicly quoted order book for the
    Supra/Ultramax segment is below 5 per cent – historically very low. In relative terms, we
    are heading towards the lowest rate of supply growth in 30 years. The average sailing
    speed has increased, showing that the market has been able to absorb this inherent
    fleet supply during a sharp increase in spot rates. This is an important indicator of a
    stronger market sentiment.
    STIMULUS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH – Continued credit growth and economic
    stimulus is expected to support the dry bulk market in 2021-23 as the effects of
    fiscal stimulus usually lags about 12-24 months. Seaborne iron ore is predominantly
    driven by Chinese demand whereas minor bulks tend to correlate closer with
    GDP. Forecasts for GDP growth in 2021 have been continuously revised upwards.
    General consensus points towards healthy levels of economic activity for 2022.
    MARKET PROSPECTS – The market outlook has turned very bullish. With the rate of
    growth on the supply side diminishing and post-COVID-19 normalisation now occuring
    in tandem with a wider commodity rally it appears that the stars are aligning for the dry
    bulk market in 2021-22. Even though ship values have started to increase, there is
    significant potential for upside should the market for ships reflect rates and values
    according to historical correlations https://ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Downl…63-81cf25291ad0

    By the looks of the historical development of BCI, there are reasons to suspect an imminent inflection point towards a subsequent upcoming hike.

    May 11, 2021 - Glyfada, Greece - Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the “Company” or “Seanergy”) (NASDAQ: SHIP) announced today that it has taken delivery of the 176,387 dwt Capesize bulk carrier, built in 2013 by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in Japan, which was renamed M/V Flagship (the “Vessel”). The Vessel was subsequently financed through a leasing agreement with Cargill International SA (“Cargill” or the “Charterer”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has chartered back the Vessel on a bareboat basis and subsequently entered into a five-year time charter (“T/C”) with Cargill at a rate which is linked to the Baltic Capesize Index (BCI).

    Financing Agreement


    The bareboat financing amount of the Vessel is $20.5 million at an implied interest rate of approximately 2% all-in, fixed for five years. The Company has the option to buy back the Vessel at any time during the whole five-year leasing period, at the end of which it has a purchase obligation of $10 million subject to certain adjustments based on the market price of the Vessel.

    Time Charter Agreement


    Under the terms of the T/C, the Vessel will earn an index-linked rate based on BCI, while the Company has the option to convert the daily hire from index-linked to fixed for a minimum period of three months to a maximum of 12 months based on the prevailing Capesize Freight Futures Agreements (“FFA”) curve. The index-linked rate will be 102% of the BCI minus $1,325 per day. The term of the T/C matches the term of the leasing transaction and has a duration of 60 months from the delivery of the Vessel to Cargill on May 10, 2021. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar…4860_ex99-1.htm
