COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The dry bulk fleet contributed around 15% of the Company’s operating revenues but just 6% of the operating profits.

In FY15, around 30% of the bulk carrier earnings were derived from the period market. In FY15, the average TCY for dry bulk vessels, inclusive of ‘spot’ and ‘period’, was approximately $9,860/ day as compared to $12,100/day in the previous year.

 

 

As of March 31, 2015, the dry bulk fleet of your Company stood at 8 vessels aggregating 0.51mn dwt, with an average age of 6.35 years as compared to 8 vessels aggregating 0.62 mn dwt with an average age of 8.5 years on March 31, 2014.

During the year, your company took delivery of:

- 2006 built Supramax bulk carrier ‘Jag Roopa’ inQ2 FY15

1994 built VLGC ‘Jag Vishnu’ inQ2 FY15

 

During the year, your Company sold and delivered the following tankers:

- 1996 builtMRtanker ‘Jag Padma’ inQ1 FY15

- 1991 built GP tanker ‘Jag Prachi’ inQ2 FY15

- 1990 built VLGC ‘Jag Vidhi’ in Q4 FY15

 

OUTLOOKFOR THE DRY BULK MARKET

 

The year FY16 is likely to be characterised by continuing weak demand and continuation of new ship deliveries. This will likely result in an “oversupplied” situation, which will continue to put downward pressure on freight rates.

 

In order to get the oversupply position into balance, we will need to see increased amounts of scrapping. The early signs on this front are encouraging with about 9 mn dwt of bulk carriers being scrapped in Q4 FY15. However, this pace of scrapping needs to continue for FY16 and FY17 in orderto have a tangible impact on fleet utilisation and as a result a positive impact on earnings.

 

The global bulk carrier order book stands at about 158.52 mn dwt or 21.4% of the fleet at the end of March

2014 as against a 10 year average of 39.9% of the fleet.
