Iron ore keeps Capesize rates high
In the first three quarters of 2014, Brazilian iron ore exports have gone up by more than 6% on a global scale and since a growth of 10% is expected for the full year, Q4 appears to be heading in the same direction, according to BIMCO. Both Australian and Brazilian iron ore exports have long been expected to
reach new heights in the last quarter of this year and the effects are becoming visible, BIMCO says. The increases in Brazilian iron ore exports opens up great prospects for dry bulk shipping, in particular the Capesize segment.
The average of the 4 time charter routes have been on the rise for about two weeks now, rising from USD 7,932 per day to more than three times as much at USD 24,176 per day today, BIMCO reports. The increase in exports are going to China, and as the world’s biggest importer of iron ore, the changes can be felt in the Capesize market. The Chinese are increasingly substituting domestically mined ore of lower Fe content with high quality imported ore and are buying more and more from abroad.
BIMCO says that the fact that the Chinese economy has showed signs of slowing down has not lowered the appetite for imported ore. Annual economic growth in China slowed to 7.3% in Q3 2014, compared to 7.5% in the previous quarter, the lowest recorded since the financial crisis. During the first nine months of this year China has imported 699.5 million tons of iron ore, marking an increase of more than 16% compared to the same period last year. Australia is still by far the biggest supplier, with more than 405 million tons of iron ore exported to China this year, says BIMCO.
Australia’s share is more than three times that of the second largest supplier, Brazil, that has so far exported around 125 million tons. Looking back on the last three years of iron ore exports to China, Australia’s share has been growing stronger every year. In 2011, 43% of the iron ore going in to China came from Australia. In 2013, it was more than 50% and for the first three quarters of this year it is just over 58%, according to BIMCO.
