MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The overall scenario under which the Shipping industry operated and which impacted the various segments is

discussed below.

 

A) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

World Scenario

 

The global economy witnessed a 0.7% contraction in GDP during 2009 after registering a moderate growth of round 3% in the previous year. The performance of major economies / regions during 2009 indicated that, with he exception of China and ‘Other Asia’ which recorded positive growths of 8.3% and 2.6% respectively, the conomies of North America, OECD Europe and Japan shrunk by 2.5%, 3.9% and 5.4%, respectively.

 

China led the growth in the second half of 2009, mainly fuelled by its domestic demand with the government’s stimulus package contributing to off-set slowdown in exports; and South Korea, Singapore and India also posted significant growth. North American economy reversed the trend of contraction in the second half of 2009 with a surge in manufacturing activity on account of strong exports and inventory build-up. OECD Europe also showed a similar trend, though the pattern was not uniform across the region with Germany and Italy experiencing oderate growth while the British and Spanish economies continued to contract. Japanese economy also reversed the trend by mid-2009 after a double digit rate of decline since late 2008.

 

Although global Dry Bulk trade contracted slightly during 2009, the year witnessed a massive rebound in Chinese imports with around 50% increase and a stronger than expected recovery in trade in other countries. Deliveries of vessels were 40% below schedule and there was widespread port congestion. Together, these developments  contributed to improvement in spot rates throughout the year.

 

The global Oil trade was characterised by very weak OECD demand, which was off-set to some extent by a massive 12% increase in Chinese imports as also by strong demand in rest of Asia. Overall, the oil trade shrank during 2009 with the crude trade falling somewhat more than the product trade. The total fleet grew by around 7% during the year. The year thus witnessed unfavourable conditions with spot rates falling by around 65% from the previous year. Crude tanker spot rates touched the low levels not experienced since 2002. However, late 2009 and early 2010 brought some encouraging signs with the crude tanker spot rates maintaining a rising trend.

 

Global ‘Dry Bulk’ imports were 2.9 billion tonnes witnessing a fall of 0.5%. Global ‘Crude oil’ imports during 2009 were around 1.96 billion tonnes, 3.7% lower than in 2008. ‘Products’ imports were 0.8 billion tonnes, declining

by 2.3% compared to its previous year’s level. The total ‘Oil’ trade thus witnessed a decline of 3.3%. Global Container trade was in the region of 120 million TEUs, registering an unprecedented contraction of 7.7%.  The share of ‘Oil’ trade in the total ‘Oil and Dry bulk’ imports in 2009 declined marginally to 48.7% from 50% in the previous year. The share of ‘Dry Bulk’ trade correspondingly increased slightly to 51.3%.

 

Indian Scenario

As per the Advance Estimates of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), India’s GDP growth for 2009-10 is reckoned at 7.2%, nearly the same level as in the previous year despite the unfavourable global economic scenario. This was aided by strong growth in manufacturing and services’ sectors and a lower decline than previously expected in agriculture sector. As per another estimate, the IMF has projected India’s GDP growth in 2009-10 at 6.75% while the RBI has projected 7.5% growth. India’s Foreign Exchange reserves have increased by almost 10% from their year ago level and stood at US$ 277 billion at the end of March 2010. India’s Merchandise Exports in 2009-10 are estimated at US$176.5 billion, lower by 4.7% than the previous year mainly due to global economic meltdown. Imports during the same period were US$278.7 billion, a fall of 8.2% from last year.

 

The total Cargo traffic handled by the Major Indian ports during 2009-10 was around 561 million tonnes, increasing by 5.7%. This comprised around 175 million tonnes of POL (Petroleum and Other Liquids) remaining constant at previous year’s level, 189 million tonnes of major Dry Bulk cargoes (Iron Ore, Fertilisers, Coal) which increased by 3.7%, 101 million tonnes of Container traffic showing a substantial increase of 8.6% (however, in terms of TEUs, the increase was around 4.3% indicating that heavy weight cargo was handled at major ports) and 95 million tonnes of “Other Cargoes” (i.e. minor bulks, breakbulk etc.), which declined by 21%.

 

The share of ‘Dry Bulk’ cargo in India’s Major ports traffic was around 34%, followed by ‘POL’ at 31%, Containerised cargoes at 18% and “Other cargo” accounting for the remaining 17%. The change in the traffic pattern from the previous year indicates that the share of Dry Bulk and POL cargoes has declined with Containerised cargoes and ‘Minor bulk and Breakbulk’ cargoes increasing their share in the trade.

 

OUTLOOK

With supply of dry bulk tonnage outpacing the expected growth in demand, the shipping market in this sector is projected to weaken during 2010 with average freight rates declining by more than 20% compared to their 2009 levels. The anticipated deliveries of vessels would continue to exert downward pressure on rates through the first half of 2012, and a recovery is expected to gain momentum only in 2013.

 

In the tanker segment, crude tanker spot rates are likely to fall back relative to their high levels in January 2010, however, they are expected to remain above 2009 average levels through to 2012. Thereafter, the rates are projected to witness an upturn during the next two years.

 

The Company has formulated its Ship Acquisition Programme for the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) eriod reflecting the strategy of focusing on value-adding businesses by building on its core ompetencies so as to realize the objective of enhancing shareholder value. This Acquisition rogramme for expansion / diversification/ modernisation of SCI’s fleet envisages acquisition of 62 essels aggregating to over 2.5 million GT (4.5 million Dwt.) and includes Bulk Carriers (Capesize / anamax / Handymax), Crude Tankers (VLCC / Suezmax / Aframax, etc.), Product Tankers (LR–II / R), Offshore Vessels, etc. The Ship acquisition programme is reviewed from time to time in order o sync it with the latest trend of pricing and the conditions of charter market. During the last financial year, the company acquired a resale MR Product tanker built in a first class Korean Yard or US$ 32.9 illion (originally priced at US$ 45.2 million) from a Greek owner. The Company is lso on the look-out for suitable iner vessels. The Company believes that in the wake of erstwhile eltdown, opportunities for value buying in imited manner may come up and, the Company will onsider these proposals.

 

BULK CARRIER and TANKER

The Bulk Carrier and Tanker has been further sub-divided into two segments viz. (I) Tanker and (II) Dry Bulk.

I) TANKER

A) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENTS

World Scenario

The global credit crisis and world economic downturn in 2008-09 dramatically undermined the prospects for onnage demand for all main ship types; thus, the year 2009-10 opened amid far more negative sentiment than  year earlier.

 

In the financial year 2009-10, the shipping industry faced rough weather with tanker freight markets not being steady at all. There were huge declines in spot earnings, both for clean and dirty tankers, mainly due to (i) poor oil demand, particularly in the mature industrial economies, and resulting cuts in rude imports (ii) increased oil output from US and Former Soviet Union (FSU); in particular, a 0.58 b/d (million barrels per day) rise in its domestic crude oil production made the US less dependent on imported supplies, (iii) far faster net fleet growth (net fleet expansion was also compounded by fewer removals from the fleet, as interest in buying ‘single-hulled’ ships for conversion (to bulk carriers or FPSOs) had diminished significantly) (iv) relatively strict adherence by OPEC members to the oil output cuts that had been enacted from late 2008 onwards.

 

The fourth quarter of 2009-10 showed an upward trend in the tanker freight market as a steady recovery in oil demand (mainly non-OECD), amid bettering economic conditions, and rising offshore storage, pushed up the demand for tonnage.

 

Indian Scenario

The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth of the Indian economy. According to the Ministry of Petroleum, India has total reserves of 775 million metric tonnes (mmt.) of crude oil and 1074 billion cubic metres (bcm.) of natural gas as on April 1, 2009.

 

Under New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP VIII), 1.62 sq.km. of area comprising 70 blocks was put up for bidding.

 

Production

By the end of the Eleventh Plan, the refinery capacity is expected to reach 240.96 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa.).

• Crude oil production during 2009-10 was 33.68 mt. as compared to 33.50 mt. in 2008-09.

• Refinery production in terms of crude throughput was 160.03 mt. in 2009-10.

• The production of natural gas went up to 47.57 bcm. in 2009-10 from 32.84 bcm. in 2008-09.

 

Consumption

The sales/consumption of petroleum products during 2008-09 was 133.40 mt. (including sales through private imports) registering an increase of 3.45 per cent over sales of 128.94 mt. during 2007-08, according to the Ministry of Petroleum.

AS PER WEB SITE DETAILS:

 

PROFILE:

 

Subject was established on 02.10.1961, by the amalgamation of Eastern Shipping Corporation and Western Shipping Corporation.

 
Starting out as a marginal Liner shipping Company with just 19 vessels, the SCI has today evolved into the largest Indian shipping Company. The SCI also has substantial interests in various segments of the shipping trade. SCI’s owned fleet includes Bulk carriers, Crude oil tankers, Product tankers, Container vessels, Passenger-cum-Cargo vessels, Phosphoric Acid / Chemical carriers, LPG / Ammonia carriers and Offshore Supply Vessels. Sailing through for nearly five decades, the SCI today has a significant presence on the global maritime map.
 
As the country’s premier shipping line, the SCI owns and operates around one-third of the Indian tonnage, and has operating interests in practically all areas of the shipping business; servicing both national and international trades.
 
In view of the demand from Indian trade, the SCI has diversified into a large number of areas. The SCI is today the only Indian shipping Company operating: break-bulk services, international container services, liquid/dry bulk services, offshore services, passenger services. In addition, the SCI mans and manages a large number of vessels on behalf of various government departments and organizations.

 
The SCI has immensely contributed to the growth of India’s EXIM trade and the national exchequer, by being a net earner/saver of valuable foreign exchange.

 
Over the years, SCI has been a lifeline for the country in times of emergency and distress, by ensuring continued and uninterrupted supply of crude oil, which drives the country’s economy.


Liberalization and globalization of the Indian economy has presented the SCI with a suite of growth and diversification opportunities. The SCI’s growth has been additionally spurred on by the presence of a modern, young and diversified fleet, operated by a large pool of well trained and experienced manpower, both onshore and at sail.

 
As a profitable commercial venture of the Government of India, the SCI has an excellent track record of profitability since its inception. The SCI’s annual performance has consecutively been rated excellent for a record 18 times, under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Government of India.
 
The Government of India has conferred “Navratna” status to SCI on 01.08.2008 - enhanced autonomy and delegation of powers to the Company towards capital expenditure, formation of Joint Ventures, mergers, etc. 

 
Continued profitability of the SCI is been due to a slew of innovative and timely strategies and measures adopted by the SCI management. Amongst these include, inter alia, judicious and optimal utilization of available tonnage, by deploying it in the most remunerative sectors; commencement of new services in niche markets; identification and expeditious disposal of value destroyers or non-performing assets; forging alliances with leading market players to enhance cargo; availability and apportioning of expenses; and administrative cost cutting.
 
The SCI takes pride in being a responsible and socially committed owner, placing greater emphasis on the safety of life, vessels, cargo and the environment it operates in. Today, the SCI has evolved into a highly quality and safety conscious organization.

 
Not surprisingly, the SCI has received numerous awards and accolades from various national and international organizations for excellence in customer satisfaction, operational efficiencies, human resource training and emergency preparedness.

 
In tune with the global trend for specialization and the premium placed on core competencies, the SCI has charted a definitive course of action for the future. Thrust areas for growth and diversification focus on energy transportation, including a sunrise segment like transportation of LNG and containers. The SCI forays into new thrust areas could either take the form of direct capital investment or by forging strategic and symbiotic alliances with significant market players in the market.

 
The SCI has heralded India’s entry into the specialized field of LNG transportation, by acquiring a stake in the two Indian LNG transportation agreements contracted till date, after a global bidding process. SCI is the only Indian shipping company engaged in transportation of LNG, a vital fuel for India’s power plant and chemical / petrochemical industry. For the same purpose, SCI has formed three Joint Ventures with one vessel each. On two of these LNG vessels, SCI is managing onboard operation and technical management and the remaining vessesl is fully manned by SCI.

 
The SCI possesses all the ingredients essential for emerging as a truly world class international shipping Company. The endeavour of the management is to facilitate the release of boundless energy and initiative streams, which will be channelled for the growth and prosperity of the Company and the nation.
