LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS:

 

During the year the company earned revenue from the activities of technical handling of the ships, crew manning and chartering brokerage. The company has handled three cargo ships during part of the year 2009-10.

 

After experiencing 5 years of a supercharged cycle (2003-08), the dry bulk business witnessed a slump not seen in a long time in the third quarter of FY 09. In an environment characterized by extreme global economic uncertainty and fear of an impending flood of new building deliveries, FY 10 performance was very poor on a yearly average basis, freight rates were around 40-50% lower than those seen in FY 09. For most of the calendar year 2009, international iron ore and coal prices were lower than domestic prices.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE DRY BULK MARKET:

 

The Baltic Dry index (BDI) during the period was ranging between 1466 and 2998 points. The management is of the opinion that there is no scope of much recovery till the year 2011 in view of decrease in existing old vessels and delay is supply of new vessels.
