During the year, the Company made an application to the Honorable High Court of Judicature at Bombay for approval to a Scheme of Amalgamation whereby all the assets and liabilities of Tolani Private Limited. and Tolani Bulk Carriers Limited. (Transferor Companies) as of 1st April, 2013 (Appointed Date) will be transferred to the Company (Transferee Company). The Scheme of Amalgamation was approved by the High Court on 27th June, 2014. The amalgamation will be Effective from the date a copy of the Order will be filed with the Registrar of Companies by the Transferor Companies and the Transferee Company.

In consideration for the Amalgamation, the Company will upon the Scheme becoming Effective, issue and allot on a proportionate basis 14 (Fourteen) 7.5% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs. 10/- each for every 1(one) Equity share of Rs. 10/- each held in Tolani Bulk Carriers Limited.

With the approval of the Scheme by the Honorable High Court as of 27th June, 2014, the effect of the Scheme has been recognized in the financial statements for the year.

 

OPERATIONS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

During the year, the Company’s income from operations stood at Rs. 2,545.100 million compared to Rs. 1,972.490 million of the previous year. Net Loss after tax was Rs. 343.320 million against Net Loss of Rs. 1,087.280 million of the previous year. The dry bulk market continued to operate with historically low freight rates in the first half of 2013. However, the sentiments in the second half of 2013 improved, mainly driven by increasing Chinese steel production and restocking of iron ore inventories as well as grain exports from the US Gulf and the Black Sea. The upturn in the trade growth and the resultant commodity shipments contributed to the improved freight rates. The first quarter of 2014 also began on a better note than the first quarter of 2013. The pick up, on the back drop of recovery in global trade and economy have contributed to improved revenues of shipping companies, including thes. The Company also disposed off some of its non-core assets during the year, which also contributed to prop up the revenues. The Company, incorporated in 1974 completed its 40 years of operations in 2014. Since the beginning, the Company has successfully navigated through changing environment, inherent to the cyclical nature of shipping industry. The Company has made remarkable progress over the years and is rated amongst one of the leading bulk cargo ship operator with strong fundamentals.

 

The Companys focus has been in:

 

(i) achieving optimum utilization of its vessels;

(ii) quality maintenance of all its vessels and equipments;

(iii) ensuring operational safety of all its crew and officers;

(iv) achieving low operational costs;

(v) strict compliance of environmental regulations and rules;

(vi) professional management of its technical operations and crewing;

(vii) obtaining competitive rates for financing;

(viii) develop and maintain good relationship with charterers, brokers and agents.

 

The Directors believe that the Companys efforts to constantly bring in improvements in operations, technology up gradation, improving the skills and talent of its employees will further consolidate the Companys operations and performance in the years to come.

 

MARKET TREND AND ANALYSIS

 

The Shipping Industry continues to face challenging times on the backdrop of uncertain freight rates and increasing operating costs. Ship values and freight rates have started to rebound, marked by economic recoveries in several nations. After years of turmoil, it appears that the dry bulk shipping is in the path of recovery. However, this could be under cloud from the rising new ship orders and the high level of new building deliveries from past orders.

 

A chronic oversupply of ships has been one of the major reasons for the depressed condition in shipping over the years. Hundreds of ships were ordered, when the Industry was booming. However, it now appears that the order books have started to dry up and the pace of new deliveries have shown marked reduction. During the year 2013, the bulk carrier fleet grew at 4.3% compared to 8.4%, 10.7%, 10.4% and 7.3% during the years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

 

The importance of China to the shipping is second to none. However, the growth of Chinese economy has been showing signs of weakness over the years. A stable and improved Chinese economy is vital for a sound shipping market. The strengthening of the US and improved conditions in Eurozone and Asian Countries augurs well for Global trade and International Shipping. Looking ahead, the global merchant fleet growth in 2015 is expected to remain below the tonnage demand growth of 5-6 %, indicating improved freight market conditions.

 

On the domestic front, the people of India have elected a new Government at the Center with a massive mandate. The new Government has promised greater focus on infrastructural development and intents to bring in policy initiatives in this regard. The positive steps will encourage new investments in power and coal sector. The roads and ports sectors are also expected to see increased activity with new projects being given a fillip. Infrastructure development is critical for improving the economic potential of the country and the Indian Shipping Industry will extend all support to the Government in its efforts.
