Shipping 2005, just two weeks away, will surpass even last
year’s show in almost every category. The number of participants; the number of presenters; the number of cocktail
parties; etc. The Conference has earned the distinction as
“North America’s Premier International Shipping and Trade
Conference and Exposition”. We are also pleased to note
that the Seamen’s Church has recently selected the CMA
to be the 2005 recipient of the Silver Bell Award, the highest honor in our industry. Where do we go from here?

at that for now. I’ll express our thanks at a more fitting time
when we can celebrate, rather than just acknowledge, our
appreciation.

FROM
THE
(London tanker brokers have been quite vocal about this).
The entrance of Money Market players into these markets
eases the liquidity and some of the signature risk.
EDITOR
As you will see in these pages, everyone at CMA has been
very busy as we approach Shipping 2005. The Conference
Program and the Show takes a huge amount of organization, and as the fame of our event spreads, so do the
expectations that we will excel. Come and judge the results
for yourselves.
Of course, fueling these developments is the huge (by shipping’s scale) number of Wall Street Initial Public Offerings
(IPOs) currently launching new publicly traded shipping
companies and pumping hundreds of millions (billions?) of
dollars into the already quite heated sales and purchase
markets. Is today’s IPO market a replay of the mid 90’s
Junk Bond debacle? Join in the debate. This too will be an
issue we will discuss in detail at Shipping 2005.
The announcement by the Seamen’s Church Institute of its
2005 Silver Bell Award (June 9, 2005) to CMA is not only
an honor for the Association, but also a recognition of our
members, volunteers, supporting organizations and vendors who have worked so hard to build CMA over the last
20 years. Thank you all.
Shipping is often said to be a “mature” industry --- there is
little change. That of course has never been true but the
rate of change rivals those in Silicon Valley now.
MEMBERSHIP NOTES
Our February luncheon speaker, Ted Petrone of NAVIOS
Corp (the company whose president, almost 22 years ago,
made the commitment to start CMA as it is today), spoke
about how the paper markets (Index driven derivatives and
Forward Freight Agreements or FFAs) influences the physical freight markets for both dry bulk and oil tankers. It was
personally gratifying to me to introduce Ted, who is both an
old friend and a fellow alumnus of the oldest maritime
school in the United States. It was great seeing so many
brokers who managed to get away from their desks in what
is a very time demanding market. Our collective thanks go
to Ted, but my personal thanks go to those who made the
effort to come. I hope you can make the Monday afternoon
(March 21) MARKETS session of Shipping 2005 where we
will try to put the issue of FFAs into still a larger context.
Welcome back to some old members, we have missed
you. Also we are very happy to have some new members,
some of whom we know very well.

Ted’s remarks were clear and compelling. However, you
really have to be a player today to fully appreciate the
changes that are happening in the freight markets. These
same changes were noted at the Hellenic and NorwegianAmerican Chambers of Commerce joint Shipping
Conference in February. I salute the Chambers for a very
good program. Here are few things I took away from both
presentations.

Paper markets move faster than physical markets thus tend
to effect spot as well as future rates. Supply vs. demand
used to determine price. Now supply vs. demand merely
determines Trend. Liquidity and signature risk in the FFA
markets are the most notable problems slowing the growth
of paper markets (which, by the way, is forecasted to reach
$20-25 BILLION in 2005). Money market players (Wall
Street types and hedge funds) are moving into the paper
shipping markets and many people are concerned.

four if you arrived Sunday, or five if you got here Saturday
or are staying through Thursday, or even more than that if
you live here all the time.
Some things you need to know about Connecticut if you
haven’t been here since last year.
Johnny K’s Essential CMA Shipping
2005 Dining & Entertainment Guide
Firstly: You still can’t smoke in very many places, despite a
concerted campaign by the local maritime community to
have this law overturned by flagrantly ignoring it,
Connecticut and especially Stamford and Greenwich are
smoke-free. This means no smoking in taxis, restaurants,
bars, public libraries, sporting goods shops, bookmakers,
Korean spas, churches (of any denomination) or cigarette
shops.
“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four.
Unless there are three other people.”
Orson Welles
You find yourself skipping excitedly from your airport limo,
negotiating the rather intimidating rotating doors of the
Westin with the ease and sure-footedness of a man, or
woman, who is no stranger to the international shipping
conference circuit.
Secondly: Public transport seldom goes exactly where you
want to. While on occasion it does go nearby, it would seem
that there is no cash incentive large enough to persuade
bus or train drivers to make even the slightest of detours.
So we highly recommend taxis as the best form of ground
transportation. Driving oneself, while fine in theory, should
be undertaken only in the direst of emergencies, and then
only with a native speaker in the car.
No sign of jetlag for you, you check-in effortlessly and are
swept to your room by a veritable phalanx of bellhops,
concierges and helpful house-boys. Tokyo last week;
Rotterdam next; Stamford, Connecticut is simply another
waypoint on your unceasing mission to ease the wheels of
international maritime trade.
Ahead of you is what promises to be three days of client
meetings, 6am business breakfasts, industry dinners, indepth conference sessions, noteworthy networking and
very constructive contact building. But, should you find
yourself without dinner plans over the next few days due to
unforeseen client cancellations or arrests, we have compiled this handy guide.
Thirdly: Local currency - those of you visiting from Europe
will no doubt have realized that your money goes even further than it did last year! Don’t be embarrassed about this,
nor shy about splashing it about like a sailor on shore
leave. The local economy could certainly use it. The organizers of Shipping 2005 would be happy to accept the odd
dry sherry, lunch or dinner from our European guests. You’ll
also notice that things are much cheaper over here.
Namely, Timberland shoes, golf clubs, tinned vegetables,
men’s casualwear, Budweiser, house-plants and cigarettes
- though of course you have to risk pneumonia by standing
outside to smoke them, and it should be noted that medical
care is certainly not cheaper over here.
Devised to ensure that no moment of your visit to Shipping
2005 is wasted, this helpful dining guide should enhance

Great wine!
Now we’ve covered the basics, let’s move on to the good
stuff. What to do for dinner? Sunday through Wednesday
nights are by their very nature a little quiet in Stamford, but
the true shipping professional is never daunted by days of
the week. Maritime Professionals treat Sunday through
Wednesday as everyone else’s Friday and Saturday nights.
It’s a well known fact that Friday and Saturday nights out
are for amateurs and should be studiously avoided.
So, the key to your Sunday to Wednesday evenings out will
be making an early start of it, try to get where you’re going
6
by seven’ish, to ensure enough time for cocktails, dinner
and after-dinner drinks. This can be achieved by not straying too far from the hotel. I would suggest either Stamford
or Greenwich. Both towns will offer you a choice of eateries and drinkeries all within walking distance of each other.
If you find yourself without an invitation to one of the
soirees going on after cocktails at the Westin, I would suggest gathering a group of friends, a taxi and heading to one
of the following fine eating establishments. Do not plan on
going to Paradise on Monday or Tuesday nights as the
entire restaurant is booked for private shipping parties.
Eclisse has a private shipping party on Monday night and
Bennett’s and the Indian Harbor Yacht Club have them on
Tuesday nights, though I believe they are in private rooms
so the restaurants will be open.
Last year we launched the Greenwich Marine Club, a
lounge bar at the Westin that catered to those wanting to
party ‘til 1am. We are building it again this year and will feature live DJ’s, Ping-Pong and ever changing back projections. The GMC will be open from 10pm ‘til late Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you
there on at least one, if not all of the nights! All are welcome.
A Word on Recuperation….
If by Tuesday the rigors of Shipping 2005 are beginning to
take their toll on you, I can highly recommend a visit to
“Montana for Men” on Bank Street in Stamford. Frequented
by a large number of the local shipping community,
Montana offers the ultimate in gentlemen’s grooming. The
standard haircut is preceded by a very relaxing and revitalizing shampoo, scalp and face massage and hot towel
treatment. The straight razor shave is the best outside of
Manhattan and you can’t beat their manicures and eyebrow
waxing. They also feature a huge selection of hair and
grooming products, beer on tap and it is a gentlemen only
salon. It opens at 11am and an appointment is strongly recommended. Montana for Men, One Bank Street, Stamford

Conclusion
I recall that in my 2004 guide I concluded the following,
which I believe still holds true for 2005:
One:You can’t do business when you’re asleep; so sleep as
little as possible over the three days of the show. Two: Payper-view movies are as much an integral part of your hotel
room as pillows and the mini-bar. Therefore, your employer
should not begrudge you sampling the entire selection on
offer. And finally: I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our guests this year and thank you all for supporting Shipping 2005 and the Connecticut Maritime
Association. Equally importantly I would like to thank our
members, local, national and international for their support
not only with Shipping 2005 but throughout the year.
Without your support none of what we do would be possible. I look forward to seeing as many of you that can make
it for cocktails on Monday at the Westin from 5:30pm ‘til
7:30 pm and of course every night of Shipping 2005 from
10pm onwards at the Greenwich Marine Club at the
Westin.

For good reason the Panama Maritime Conference VII was
focused on this critical issue. The people of Panama are
currently debating whether or not to support an expansion
of the Canal to accommodate what is referred to as “PostPanamax” ships. There are substantial benefits and substantial costs. A strong case in favor of the expansion was
made by Ruben Arosemena, Vice-President of Panama
and Administrator of the Panama Maritime Authority, and
by Alberto Aleman, the Administrator of the Panama Canal
Authority.
THE CHINA BOOM FROM
ANOTHER ANGLE
Last week I represented the CMA at the Panama Maritime
Conference VII in Panama City. Taking place in the middle
of the Panamanian summer, I half expected the conference
would be relaxed and casual. I was mistaken. It was serious business, starting with the keynote address by the
President of the Republic of Panama, Martin Torrijos.
It was an excellent conference, but this article has more to
do with my fascination with the expanding Chinese economy and its impact on shipping. The link between the two
will soon become clear.
Interestingly, Captain Wei Jiafu, President and CEO of
COSCO, attended the conference and gave a speech entitled “Economic Impact of the Canal Expansion on
Shipowners and World Trade”. Suffice to say that Capt.
Wei encourages the expansion of the Panama Canal to
increase the container carrying capacity of vessels transiting the canal.
For the past 20 years the Chinese economy has grown at
a reported rate of 9%. For not quite that long the shipping
markets have been enjoying the benefits of that growth
through an increase in the export of manufactured goods
from China and an increase in the export of raw materials
to China.
At the Gala Dinner on the final evening of the conference
Vice-President Ruben Arosemena presented Capt. Wei
Jiafu with the Panama Maritime Excellence Award. In his
acceptance speech, Capt. Wei proudly announced a four
point cooperation agreement he had signed earlier in the
day with the Panama Maritime Authority, signaling
COSCO’s developing presence and investment in Panama.
It was clear that smart people are doing smart things.
World trade is up, together with a demand upon the
Panama Canal to carry more of that trade. Panama of
course is enjoying the economic benefits from the world’s
dependence on the Canal. But those benefits are limited
by the capacity of the Canal itself. A panamax can get no
bigger than a panamax, and there are just so many vessels
that can transit the Panama Canal each day, month, year.
There is only one solution if Panama is to meet the challenges posed by the increasing demand: The expansion of
the Panama Canal.
To be sure, there is more to it than just the movement of
containers through a strategic waterway. The Chinese
cooperation in Panama is just one example of the widely
reported spread of Chinese influence in Central and South
America where the raw materials needed to fuel the
Chinese economy are located. It is no surprise that
Chinese President Hu Jintao and Vice President Zeng
Qinghong have spent much time in the region, building
relationships with bilateral agreements and investment
projects. For good reason, they have been well received in
the capital cities of Latin America.

It’s a long haul from South America to China and back. The
shipping markets must be pleased with current developments in Central and South America. The Panamanians
appear to be.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S INCOME – ports, ships and
commerce.
POSTCARD FROM
WASHINGTON, DC
Increasingly shipping is publicly financed so stockholders
and banks are very concerned that media coverage of an
incident might jeopardize their interest. So, in trying to raise
public consciousness of what we do right, we are also getting into helping organizations like NOAA whose services
reduce our exposure to navigational hazards.
March 2, 2005
Each year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) – a part of the US Department of
Commerce – holds a “Stakeholder Forum” which draws
people from a wide range of users of NOAA’s services. The
two that you might be most familiar with are the weather
service and the National Ocean Service (NOS) which
includes charting and mapping of US coasts and harbors
as well as publication of tide tables and other aids to
mariners.
Necessity is no longer just the mother of invention – she is

MEMBER NOTES/
UPCOMING EVENTS
I was invited to DC for this year’s workshop at which people from the sciences including ecosystems, climate,
weather and water, and commerce and transportation
gather together to establish priorities for programs.
Transcending all of NOAA’s programs, just as those of
NASA and similar agencies, is a significant education mission. It was during lunch that I had a conversation with a
woman who simply radiated grace, and wisdom. I later
found out that she was a VP of a small college in Baltimore.
The topic was educating young people. My focus was the
Bridgeport, CT Aquaculture School that CMA supports.
Here is an e-mail I sent to her the day after the DC workshop.
The US Government announces its intention to engage the
private sector, particularly the maritime industry, in the
national initiative to plan, design, deploy, operate, maintain
and then utilize the data delivered by an Integrated Ocean
Observing System (IOOS). An IOOS Industry Day will be
held in Washington D.C. 18 March 2005. Attendees must
register in advance. For more information:

******************************************************************
“Good day Dr. ThomasI enjoyed speaking to you and the other education people
yesterday. As was said by Ms. Lee of EduTech, the competition for the attention of children and adults alike is brutal
in our society.
The 2005 National Maritime Salvage Conference, sponsored by the American Salvage Association (ASA), is
scheduled to take place November 1-3, 2005 in New
Orleans, LA.
The first day, Tuesday, November 1, will offer a training
seminar focusing on marine salvage, wreck removal, and
harbor clearance operations as they relate to port security.
My interest in education, as in NOAA, is focused on the
shipping industry. Like Rodney Dangerfield, “We get no
respect”. However, like GE, we too bring good things to life
– everyone’s! Yet no one knows it. We are invisible. Only the
accidents make the news.
The conference program for Wednesday, November 2 and
Thursday, November 3, 2005 will include a discussion of
Maritime Security, Wreck Removal, Harbor Clearance,
Firefighting Contracting, U.S. Salvage Regulations and the
International View of the Salvage Industry, Incident
Command Structure (ICS), Responder Immunity, Salvage
and the Environment, Places of Refuge, Training and
Safety, and more.
I reason that if ship owners and operators are going to be
known for their mistakes or made to pay for accidents
beyond their control, why not make their contributions to
society known as well? And what of the times that they get
painted with a broad and oily brush for something that they
have no responsibility for? For example, the Congress of
the United States does not properly fund agencies and
services that for the first 150 years of our nation’s existence
supported the single industry that produced ALL OF THE

After more than three millennia shipping is emerging as an
industry and less a commodity or a mysterious service to
industry that no one really understands. Today shipping and
its markets are on the lips of investors, financial people, shippers, governments and even the media.
However, just as freight rates have risen to reflect surging
demand for ships, new or long submerged realities are forcing
ship owners, operators and shippers to deal with vexing problems and the unknowable future. Many of these issues are
serious regulatory and “pocketbook” concerns about which
only ship owners really know and understand. It is in the
industry’s handling of these thorny, often seriously challenging, issues that our leadership and control of our own destiny,
now and in the future, will be measured. These are issues for
discussion in ’05.
The great thing about the CMA is that the conversation and
opportunities to do business are equally abundant in the halls,
in and around the diverse, professional exhibits. Social events
within the exhibit area on Monday, Tuesday and leading up to
the Gala Reception and Dinner on Wednesday, assure that you
can initiate and conduct a year’s worth of important business
in two and a half days all in one location. Plus it is simply fun!
Please take a few minutes to look over the schedule of events
and program, which has been graciously and thoughtfully put
together by a wide range of industry professionals, to meet
what is felt are the challenges of today and the opportunities
of tomorrow.
Come, enjoy, do business, get a sense of the markets, and
most importantly, be a part of articulating and managing the
future. Welcome to the 21st Century!

9:15 AM – SESSION 2 – SALON A
Major Classification Societies and IACS have invested tremendous time and
effort in recent years to create a new era of “more robust” ship structure. As
this effort progresses it is being integrated with IMO decisions to adopt broad
“Goal Based Standards” for all ship structure. The result will be new tankers
and bulkers (and eventually ships of all types) designed and constructed to
new and more technically rigorous standards than previously.
As the common rules for tankers and bulkers are likely to be implemented in
2005, it is timely for all in the shipping community to become acquainted with
this revolutionary ship design change, which should be a major improvement
in ship safety.
