Very large crude carriers are losing $6,761 daily on the benchmark Saudi Arabia-to-Japan voyage, more than yesterday’s $6,482, figures from the Baltic Exchange in London showed. The current return is the worst since Aug. 31. Lower Middle East oil production reduced VLCC cargoes by as many as 12 a month, London-based shipbroker E.A. Gibson said in an e-mailed report. Still, the combined carrying capacity of the world VLCC fleet will expand 5.3 percent this year, below demand growth of 5.9 percent, according to Clarkson Plc, the biggest shipbroker. “Tonnage is in plentiful supply for the remaining February program” of cargoes, Gibson said. There’s “not a sign of any recovery for owners.” VLCCs began losing money on the benchmark voyage on Jan. 24, the exchange’s figures showed. The ships, each able to hold 2 million barrels of crude, earned money in only four sessions in the third quarter on the journey. The exchange’s assessments fail to account for owners’ efforts to improve returns by securing cargoes for a voyage’s return leg or by reducing speed to burn less fuel, known as slow-steaming. The price of fuel, or bunkers, the industry’s biggest expense, gained 0.4 percent to $654.77 a metric ton, staying at the highest since Oct. 2, figures compiled by Bloomberg from 25 ports showed. Fourth Decline Charter rates for VLCCs on the benchmark route slipped 0.2 percent to 31.19 Worldscale points, the exchange’s figures showed. That was the fourth drop in a row. The Worldscale system is a method for pricing oil cargoes on thousands Distribution : daily to 250250+ active addresses 11-02-2013 Page 2 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2013 – 042 of trade routes. Each individual voyage’s flat rate, expressed in dollars a ton, is set once a year. Today’s level means hire costs on the benchmark route are 31.19 percent of the nominal Worldscale rate for that voyage. The Baltic Dirty Tanker Index, a broader measure of oil- shipping costs that includes vessels smaller than VLCCs, rose 0.3 percent to 640, according to the exchange. It stayed at the highest since Jan. 25.

Speaking exclusively to Maritime CEO, Richard Sadler, the ceo of the 252-year-old institution, said: “We intend to continue to aggressively pursue suitable acquisitions.” In the past four years LR has spent £170m acquiring specialist energy companies. Sadler is aware of “significant” changes coming to the classification business in the coming years. “The recent merger of DNV and GL just reinforces that view,” he said. LR’s focus, Sadler said, “will be on providing leading-edge technology advice and solutions at a competitive price”. With green technology to the fore in shipping at the moment, Sadler echoed recent comments made by LR’s marine director, Tom Boardley, that it is important not to mix facts with ambition. “There is no doubt,” Sadler said, “that the fuel efficiency of vessels is being improved and emissions are being reduced by using different fuels. We have leading expertise in all these areas.” To this end, in the past two years, LR has announced the creation of two global technology centres – in Southampton and Singapore – which represent a commitment of more than £120m. LR is actively looking into the use of methane, fuel cells, the next generation of LNG fuelled-ships and other innovations as shipowners and regulators alike increasingly clamour for eco solutions to shipping. “It is an exciting time,” Sadler said, “a time that is reinforcing why technology and our new technology centres are critical to our future business success.” On growing the group’s revenues, Sadler said: “We have plans to grow our business everywhere,” Distribution : daily to 250250+ active addresses 11-02-2013 Page 3 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2013 – 042 citing the group’s latest financial figures which show the growing importance of the Americas and Asia as a balance to LR’s strong Europe, Middle East and Africa bases. Specifically, Sadler spoke of his hopes for Brazil. “We are conscious of opportunities in Latin America, particularly Brazil, where I have just joined a UK government trade delegation, reinforcing our commitment to that country,” he said. Despite the bullishness for LR’s own global expansion, the classification boss was honest in his assessment for the immediate outlook for the shipping industry. “For shipping,” he concluded, “the next 12 months at least will see vessel supply exceed any increased demand from a rising global economy.” Source: Maritime-CEO The JOHN P LABORDE anchored off Haifa – Photo : Peter Szamosi © PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR MAILBOX, DUE TO NEW POLICY OF THE PROVIDER, YOUR ADDRESS WILL BE “DEACTIVATED” AUTOMATICALLY IF THE MAIL IS BOUNCED BACK TO OUR SERVER If this happens to you please send me a mail at [email protected] to reactivate your address again, please do not write this in the guestbook because I am not checking this guest book daily.

Ice I vessels are allowed to carry out ice navigation only with the assistance of icebreakers, vessels with Ice2 class and over are allowed to carry out non-escorted voyages upon icebreaker’s permission and recommendation or with icebreaker’s assistance. Tug and tow vessels or non-reinforced vessels are not permitted to ice navigation. 15 icebreakers are deployed for operation in Russian part of the Gulf of Finland in winter navigation of 2012-2013, including 14 diesel-electric icebreakers of Rosmorport FSUE and one nuclear icebreaker of Atomflot FSUE.

  • International Law and the Arctic Michael Byers and with James Baker Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-04275-9 - International Law and the Arctic Michael Byers and With James Baker Frontmatter More information International Law and the Arctic Climate change and rising oil prices have thrust the Arctic to the top of the foreign policy agenda and raised difficult issues of sovereignty, security, and environmental protection. Improved access for shipping and resource development are leading to new international rules on safety, pollution prevention, and emergency response. Around the Arctic, maritime boundary disputes are being negotiated and resolved, and new international institutions, such as the Arctic Council, are mediating deep-rooted tensions between Russia and NATO and between nation states and indigenous peoples. International Law and the Arctic explains these developments and reveals a strong trend toward international cooperation and law-making. It thus contradicts the widespread misconception that the Arctic is an unregulated zone of potential conflict.
