Market Overview
Of the 13,084 vessels and 3,860 barges that Marcon currently tracks, 4,936 are tugs with 623 currently officially on the
market for sale worldwide, up 1.47% since February and down 1.42% from May 2015. Of the tugs for sale, 53.39% of
foreign and 95.04% of U.S. tugboats are direct from Owners. 201 or 32.26% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign
flagged, were built within the last 10 years, are newbuilding re-sales or currently under construction – compared to
35.94% at last November’s report. 70 (11.24%) are over 50 years of age. Eight have no age listed. The oldest tug
Marcon currently has listed was built in 1912 and is very last of over 1,000 first generation steam trawlers and halibut
fishers. This “old lady” is balanced by 15 newbuildings up to 8,076HP scheduled for delivery in 2016.

Tug Boat Market Report – May 2016
The majority of tugs Marcon tracks for sale as of the time this report is being
written are in Southeast Asia with 131 tugs officially on the market (142 last
report), followed by 123 in the U.S. (118), 69 in the Mid-East (51), 66 in the
Far East (76), Europe with 65 (65), 55 in the Mediterranean (60), 27 in the
South Pacific (30), 21 in Latin America (29), 20 in Africa (23), 18 in the
Caribbean (15), 14 in Canada (13), 8 in Southwest Asia (8) and 6 where
location unstated (10). CAT diesels still power most tugs for sale with
machinery in 152 or 24% of the tugs Marcon lists. This is followed by 86
Cummins, 57 EMD, 55 Yanmar, 54 Niigata, 25 Deutz-MWM and Mitsubishi,
24 each GM/DD and 19 Wartsila powered tugs. 126 tugs are powered by
machinery from other manufacturers from ABC to Zibo with, as always seems,
six Fairbanks Morse boats still on the market. In tugs listed for sale since May
2011, CAT and Yanmar powered vessels are up 5 percentage points each,
Cummins and Niigata are up 2 points each and EMD is down 3 points.
There has been a definite shift in the second-hand tug market over
the last few years with newer boats, many of which are ASDs out of
Southeast Asia and the Far East, being offered for sale. Five years
ago, only 30.63% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign flag, were
built within the previous ten years compared to 32.26% today. The
United States also then had the largest selection of tugs listed for
sale with 151 available (24.0%) tracked by Marcon (plus seven
additional U.S. flag tugs overseas). 108 tugs were located in
Southeast Asia (17.1%), 102 tugs in Europe (16.2%), Far East 83
(13.2%), Mediterranean 73 (11.6%), Mid-East 33 (5.2%) and
Caribbean 27 (4.3%). Another major shift in the marketplace is with
the Southeast Asian second-hand tug market overtaking Europe and
the U.S. in the number of tugs for sale in the region. As far as types
go - conventional twin screw tugs still prevail today with 370 (59.4%)
for sale worldwide. These are followed by 136 azimuthing tugs (21.8%) on the market, 103 single-screw tugs (16.5%),
9 Voith Schneider tractor tugs (1.4%) and five triple screw (0.8%). As a comparison and demonstrating the trend in
propulsion, five years ago 21.7% of the 630 tugs for sale were single screw, 57.1% twin screw, 17.1% azimuthing and
3.5% were Voith Schneider. As we have been saying for a while many older single screw boats have lingered too long
and are now being broken up. We now see more ASD tugs listed for sale worldwide than single screw tugs.
The greatest global changes in horsepower for sale in the last five years have been in the 2,000 – 2,999HP range with
26 tugs more available today with an average age of 28 years compared to May 2011 when the average age of the 142
vessels listed was 30 years. Tugs in the 3,000-3,999HP range declined by 11 from five years ago. Average age
increased from 21 years to 22 years, with average build date now of 1994. There are also eight fewer 7,000 – 7,999HP
tugs today (31 years / avg. build date 1985). Average age in 2011 in this horsepower range was 26 years.
Actual sale prices of all vessels and barges sold by Marcon todate has averaged 90.86% of asking prices. In 2015 actual
sales prices averaged 84.95% of asking prices, compared to
2014’s 85.65%, 2013’s 87.07% and 2012’s average 81.79%.
Four tugs were sold so far in 2016 with an average price per
BHP of $279.18 and average age of 35 years. Five tugs were
sold in 2015 with an average price of $243.20 and average
age of 34 years. Seven tugs were sold in 2014 with an average
price per BHP of $282.55 and average age of 41 years. These
are lower than 2013’s average price per BHP for a “generic” 33
year old twin screw tug of US$ 324.78. 2014 sales included
both foreign and domestic tugs and actual ages covered a
relatively narrow range from 32 to 47 years of age, whereas
2015’s sales included one foreign and four U.S. sales with ages ranging from 8 to 50 years and 2016’s to date include
one foreign and three U.S. sales with ages ranging from 19 to 50 years. We continually see updates about vessels
scrapped or repossessed and we believe that this first quarter 2016’s uptick in $/BHP is only temporary due to the
specific vessels and that prices, especially for older vessels, will continue to decline for the next few years.

Recent Marcon Tug Sales & Charters
1,700HP U.S. flag tug sold to Gulf Coast operators on a private & confidential basis. Marcon acted as sole broker in the
sale and has represented both buyer and seller in a number of previous tug transactions.
A U.S. flag; twin screw coastal / inland pusher tug was sold between U.S. West Coast
operators. The vessel was built in 1970 by Hudson Marine in Seward, Alaska, measuring
76' loa x 23' beam x 7' depth. Vessel was repowered with twin Cummins QSK19-M diesels
producing 1,320BHP, driving twin fixed pitch propellers through ZF W2400R 5.04:1 reverse
reduction gears. Boat is fitted with two 25T hydraulic Beebe winches aft with wire capacity
of 950'/800' of 1-1/8" wire plus two hydraulic bow winches and is capable of pushing 4,000
ton rock and 4,500 ton chip barges plus tending dredging projects. Her elevated
wheelhouse provides the operator with excellent vision. All four hydraulic winches can be
operated from both upper and lower wheelhouses.
A 90’ x 27’ x 12’ depth, U.S. flag tug built by Bollinger Machine of Lockport, Louisiana
in 1966 was sold between U.S. West Coast operators on a private & confidential
basis. The 1,700HP, twin screw tug is powered by twin CAT D398B diesels with
Reintjes 5.31:1 gears and fixed pitch props giving a bollard pull of abt. 21 tons and
free running speed of abt. 12kn. Towing gear consists of an Almon Johnson single
drum winch with a capacity for 1,800’ of 1.75” wire. Tug has worked for many years in
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for various operators and construction companies.
Marcon acted as sole broker in the transaction.
The Indonesian flagged, twin screw utility tug “ES Taurus” was sold to private
interests for further trading outside of South East Asia. The 87.0' x 26.2’x 11.4'
depth tug was built in 1997 by Dalian Shipyard Co. Ltd. in China and is powered
by twin Yanmar 6LAHM-STE3 engines creating 1,240BHP at 1,900RPM driving
twin fixed pitched props. The back deck comes equipped with a 15 ton SWL
tow hook, 5 ton Tadano crane and stern roller. Vessel was formerly classed
with both BKI and NKK. Accommodations are provided for six crew. This is the
second recent transaction between the parties. Marcon acted as sole broker.
The 1,700BHP “Benjamin Foss” was sold by Foss Maritime of Seattle, Washington to
private U.S. interests. The 78.0’ x 26.3’ x 11.0’ depth tug was built in 1980 by Main Iron
Works of Houma, Louisiana as Hull 352 - the first in a series of seven “Super D” class,
advanced, medium size tugs contracted in 1979. The low-profile tugs were built for
PacTow, a Dillingham Maritime Company, and Foss Maritime, also a subsidiary of
Dillingham in the 1980s, as a larger, enhanced version of the popular 1,200HP, 66’ “D”
class boats built in the mid-1960s. After delivery from the shipyard, “Benjamin Foss”
remained in the U.S. Gulf for six months working for Foss’ new Gulf Coast service until
returning to the Pacific Northwest with a new 30,000bbl bunker barge. The tug since
worked in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and on the Columbia River performing ship assists and as a line-haul tug.
“Benjamin Foss” is powered by CAT D398s developing a total of 1,700BHP at
1,225RPM, with CAT 7261 4.65:1 gears, 76” x 76” fixed pitch props in kort nozzles and
flanking rudders. This gives her a bollard pull of abt. 26.4 short tons. Towing gear
consists of an Intercon SD-150 single drum winch with a capacity of 2,000’ of 1.5” wire
and a Foss Mk.2 bow winch with 150’ of 1.125” wire. Another former “Super-D” tug, the
“Pacific Patriot” (ex-Pacific King) was sold from other sellers by Marcon in 2014. Marcon
acted as the sole broker in the “Benjamin Foss” sale, which is the fifth Foss tug sale or
charter brokered through Marcon in addition to various barges and other equipment.
Three 5,000HP plus twin screw and ASD tugs continue to be fixed on previously arranged long-term charters in the
U.S. and Latin America. Marcon International, Inc. has brokered 1,399 vessels and barges for sale or charter over the
past 35 years including 317 tugs totaling 985,507HP, 76 AHTSs total 364,668HP and 36 inland pushboats (80,780HP)
in addition to 222 deck barges (1,28,186dwt), 151 tank barges totaling 7,780,835bbl (abt. 1,111,548dwt), 127 inland &
ocean hopper barges (328,071dwt) plus many other vessel and barge types. Several additional sales are pending.

Worldwide Number of Tugs Slips
The worldwide number of tugs has fallen for the first time since we began tracking it January of 2007, with a decline of
0.60% since February 2016, but is still higher than one year ago by 2.40% and by 23.79% five years ago. While
information in IHS Fairplay Sea-web only covers “sea-going” vessels over 100GRT, there are many tugs either under
that tonnage or in inland service. According to Sea-web, as of April 29, 2016, there were 17,917 “sea-going” tugs over
100GRT worldwide, up from 17,497 in May 2015 but down 107 vessels from February 2016. Total horsepower is
48,267,578BHP, down 1,811BHP since February. Even taking into account flags of convenience, the largest national
fleet of tugs over 100GRT still sails under Indonesian flag with 3,516 tugs totaling 7,367,976BHP. However, this is a
decline of 1,037 tugs and 255,164BHP since February. The U.S., as the second largest national fleet of tugs, operates
1,489 “sea-going” tugs over 100GRT, or 8.31% of the world market, totaling 5,094,832BHP (10.56% global BHP).
Average age of tugs worldwide is 21 years with the U.S. flag “sea-going” fleet now at 34 years (built 1982). The
“Unknown” flag group has grown to 1,760 tugs, 9.82% of the world market, or 2,970,210BHP, which indicates to us
that more tugs may be falling off the radar screen or IHS Sea-Web may be changing their criteria.

At the time of our May 2015 tug market report, the average horsepower for
the world’s 17,497 “sea-going” tugs was 2,647BHP with an average year
built of 1993. Today’s 17,917 tugs have an average horsepower of
2,694BHP, with an average year built of 1996 – a slight improvement in HP
and age. The U.S. fleet in May 2015 included 1,474 “sea-going” tugs with an
average horsepower of 3,364BHP and an average year built of 1979.
Today’s U.S. fleet has increased to 1,489 tugs with an average horsepower
of 3,422BHP and a year built of 1982, i.e. an average age of 35 years,
which also shows a very gradual replacement of the older, lower
horsepower tugs - most notably with higher horsepower and more efficient
twin screw AT/B tugs and azimuthing shipdocking and escort tugs.
Breakdown of U.S. “Sea-Going” Fleet
Following is a breakdown of the U.S. sea-going tug fleet as of May
2016, according to IHS Fairplay Sea-web, compared with February
2016. As of May 2016, the U.S. domestic tug fleet consisted of 1,489
“sea-going” tugs totaling 5,094,832BHP. The U.S. flag fleet increased
by five and total horsepower by 33,671BHP. High horsepower and
large tugs are easy to track, but Sea-web has data on only 50 U.S.
tugs under 999BHP. As most “under 1,000HP” U.S. tugs are below
100 GRT, they are not included in the Registry. Not counting
pushboats, there are eight to nine hundred additional small tugs in
U.S. coastal waters.

Of the 1,489 U.S. tugs in Sea-web’s, 187 have unknown engines. 496, or 38%
where type is known, are powered by EMDs; 409 (32%) by CATs; 109 (8%) by
General Motors / Detroit Diesels, Alco and Cummins have 4%, Fairbanks Morse
and M.T.U. (Rolls Royce) are tied with 3% each and Wartsila has 2% of the
market share. 372 (25%) and 797 (54%) are conventional single and twin screw,
respectively. The remaining 21% are 260 azimuthing, 37 triple screw and 23 Voith
tractor tugs.
Five years ago, of 1,492 U.S. flag tugs, 401 or 32% were powered by EMDs, 363
(29%) by CATs and 211 (17%) by General Motors / DD. We can see that EMDs
gained 6 percentage points and CATs gained 4, while GM/DDs fell by 9
percentage points from five years ago. In regards to propeller types, today there
are 78 fewer single screw, 13 less twin screw, 61 more azimuthing and one less
triple screw tug versus the fleet statistics in May 2011.

th
According to “Fairplay Newbuildings”, as of 29 April, there were
6,369 ships over 299GRT on the World Orderbook, down 146 from
February and down 310 from newbuildings one year ago. Of the total
number on today’s orderbook, 604, or 9.48%, are tugs or “towing /
pushing” vessels, down from 610 in February. This is, of course, down
from a peak of 768 in
October 2008, but still
an impressive number.
674 of today’s
newbuildings, down 34
from February, are
OSVs and 289, down
15, are “Offshore –
Other”. Of 604 tugs
listed by Fairplay under construction, China PR leads the order book
with 145 tugs being built, same as February. They are followed by

Briggs Marine and Environmental Services, the Fife, Scotland-based leading supplier
of offshore services, ordered a Damen Multi Cat 2712. One of the largest models in
Damen’s extensive Multi Cat range, the 27.27m x 12.45m x 3.90m depth / 2.70m draft
Multi Cat 2712 is an exceptionally versatile workboat capable of taking on almost any role
in the coastal environment. Designated the “Forth Warrior”, the new Multi Cat, Hull
571726, is currently being fitted out at Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld in the
Netherlands. Special equipment being installed includes a DPS-1 system for use in
activities such as windfarm support and a four-point mooring system for diving operations,
featuring removable winches each capable of holding 320 meters of wire. Like all Damen
Multi Cats, the 2712 provides spacious deck space for carrying equipment, complete 360°
visibility from the deckhouse and a shallow draught for operations close to the shore.
Other roles for the “Forth Warrior” will include anchor handling, dredging assistance and
vessel support. This is the third vessel that Briggs Marine has purchased from Damen in
recent years. The first was the 26.0m x 11.5m x 3.5m“Forth Jouster” Multi Cat 2611 built
in 2008, a slightly smaller version of the 2712, and the second the 61.2m x 13.8m x 6.0m, 60 tonne bollard pull anchor
handling tug supplier “Kingdom of Fife” also built in 2008. Since its delivery, the “Kingdom of Fife” has been working on
Briggs’ £100 million contract to provide maintenance and mooring support for the UK’s Royal Navy. The Forth Warrior
th
is due for delivery in June and will be deployed in the UK and beyond……. On 20 January, Corima, part of the Italybased Gesmar Group, held an official handover ceremony for a Damen ASD
2810 tug. The festivities were attended by invited guests that included
representatives from Ancona’s port and city authorities. The family-owned
Gesmar Group is the largest towage operator in the Adriatic Sea. The Group’s
scope of activities reach to providing harbor assistance duties at eight Italian
ports in addition to towing, escorting and offshore towage, safety and FiFi
duties at several offshore oil terminals. Following the on-time and on-budget
delivery in November 2015, Corima mobilized the new 28.67m x 10.43m x
4.50m tug “Musone” in the Port of Ancona, where it provides support services
for two oil terminals and one SPM for large tankers, operated by API Refinery. The “Musone” represents an important
investment for the area and will contribute to the local economy of the Ancona. In addition to its role in the oil industry,
the Port of Ancona also handles significant numbers of containers and dry bulk cargo. It is also an important location
for the ferry and cruise industries. Corima’s acquisition of the new tug was necessary due to infrastructure
developments at the Port of Ancona. “This fleet renewal was required because the new port entrance makes it more
difficult to maneuver there,” informs Riccardo Vitiello, Corima President and Managing Director Gesmar Group.
“’Musone’ will replace one of our twin screw tugs, giving the fleet more flexibility and power.” Damen’s ASD 2810 is a
versatile design: one that is suited to harbor-based duties as well as operations in open water. The vessel’s twin CAT
3516-HD engines deliver 1,865 kW resulting in a 60-tonne bollard pull. Corima’s tug captains will put that power to
optimum effect in what Mr Vitiello describes as the ideal towing arrangement,
combining Tractor tug with ASD tug. “I think that the best towing configuration
is to have a Tractor tug at the bow of the vessel and an ASD at the stern of
the vessel. This way both tugs work heading forward.” Since delivery,
“Musone” has been operational at both the Port of Ancona and the oil
terminal, Mr Vitiello goes on to say. “The feedback I have received from our
tug masters has been very positive. They have many years’ experience on a
Damen 3110 so they have good criteria when comparing these tugs. They
have found the ‘Musone’ much faster and more responsive during
maneuvering.”…… On 4 February 2016 the South African Navy took
delivery of a second South African-built Damen ATD Tug 2909 at the naval base in Simon’s Town. Escorted by SA
Navy's existing six tugs, “Inyathi” was welcomed into the fleet with a traditional
sail past. “Inyathi” – meaning buffalo – is the second Damen ATD Tug 2909 in
a two vessel replacement contract awarded to Damen Shipyards Cape Town
(DSCT) after a transparent tender process. The first, named “Imvubu” –
meaning hippo – was delivered in July 2015. The two new tugs will be
deployed for towing, mooring and fire-fighting operations for the South African
Navy’s current and future fleet of vessels under all-weather, heavy sea,
restricted visibility, day and night conditions within confines of the Southern
African ports and in coastal waters. “Inyathi” and “Imvubu” join two Damen
Stan Tugs delivered in 2006 by DSCT, then known as Farocean Marine.

Fratelli Neri S.p.A has taken delivery of a Damen ASD Tug 3212. The new
32.7m x 12.10m x 5.35m vessel, “Luisa Neri”, was handed over from
th
Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam in the Netherlands, on 25
January 2016. The vessel represents two firsts: it is Fratelli Neri’s first
Damen newbuild tug and it is the first ASD tug in the Mediterranean with a
Damen render-recovery winch. Damen is renowned for its quick delivery
times and this contract further reinforces that fact: the smooth process from
contract to delivery taking just 5 months. With the vessel built for stock,
Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam carried out the final outfitting
works to bring the “Luisa Neri” up to client specifications. These
modifications included, amongst other things, the installation of a deck
crane and all equipment necessary to comply with FiFi 1 notation, Oil Recovery notation and Italian flag. As one of the
largest tug owners in Italy, Fratelli Neri will be putting the “Luisa Neri” to use in its home port of Livorno. “With some
tight turns, Livorno is well known for being quite a challenging harbor to operate in,” comments Damen Regional Sales
Manager Andrea Trevisan. “The ‘Luisa Neri’ has the power – just over 80 tonnes of bollard pull – the maneuverability
and the right equipment to handle these difficult escorting duties though.”
“Luisa Neri” is powered by a pair of CAT 3516C-HD diesels developing a total 6,772BHP at 1,800RPM driving Rolls
Royce US-255 P30 CP 2,800mm props. She is classed RINA I +Hull, +Mach Escort Tug; Supply Vessel; FiFi-1 – Water
spray, Oil Rec., Unrestricted Navigation.
The vessel is provided with a Damen render-recovery winch on the fore deck and a Damen tow winch on the aft deck.
Both winches are designed and engineered by Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam and produced by Damen
Marine Components. These winches allow operators to work in the toughest offshore conditions. The render-recovery
winch on the fore deck is a double drum anchor/towing winch, with 200 meters of Dyneema towing wire on each drum.
The winch is directly driven by two Hägglunds hydraulic motors connected to the main shaft. The aft towing winch is a
single drum towing winch, with 750m of wire on the drum. The winch is directly driven by one Hägglunds hydraulic
motor connected to the main shaft. Because the winches are not provided with gearboxes the design is very compact,
robust and maintenance friendly. Each winch drum can be connected to the main shaft by means of a spring released,
hydraulically engaged friction clutch fitted on the inside of the stainless steel brake drum connected to the winch drum.
The use of friction clutches guarantees a safe and fast quick-release operation of the winches in all operating
conditions. Each winch drum can be connected to the deck by means of a hydraulically released, spring engaged band
brake fitted on the outside of the stainless steel brake drum connected to the winch drum. An accumulator with
sufficient capacity to release the band brakes several times is installed in the hydraulic system to guarantee a safe and
fast quick-release operation of the winches in all operating conditions. The maximum brake holding capacity is 200
tonnes. In addition to the forward mounted anchor / rendering-recovery winch, her towing gear consists of a 200 tonne
brake hydraulic single drum winch aft, a Mampaey 100T SWL tow hook and a 5T capstan.
Damen’s ASD Tug 3212 has excellent sea-keeping characteristics, maneuverability and is optimized for operations in
exposed waters by numerous features. The design consists of a large freeboard and more pronounced V-shaped
frames in the lines of the fore ship. This, in combination with a more raised forecastle deck, ensures a relatively dry
working deck. Providing high dynamic stability, the vessel’s deep skeg, bilge keels and relatively low wheelhouse
ensure low accelerations for increased comfort, safety and sea-keeping performance. The fendering system has a
large contact area to assure low static contact pressure and large energy absorption capacity: This guarantees a low
dynamic contact pressure during impact.
Like Damen Shipyards, Fratelli Neri is a proud familyowned company with a long history. Damen’s origins go
back 89 years. Neri’s activities began at the end of the
th
19 century when Costante Neri was involved in the
coal trade from the U.K. He expanded operations with
acquisition of a 65HP coal-powered tug to offer salvage
and wreck removal services. While Fratelli Neri has
previously taken delivery of a Damen Stan Tender 1905
and two second-hand Stan Tugs 2608, “Luisa Neri” is
their first newbuild Damen tug. Marcon previously fixed
one sale and two longterm charters on behalf of Fratelli Neri.

Serco Group contracted Damen Shipyards Group to build a
powerful new tug to support the Royal Navy’s two new aircraft
carriers at Portsmouth Naval Base as part of its contract to provide
Marine Services to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (UK
MOD). The vessel will be the first of its type under the UK Flag. The
Damen-built ART (Advanced Rotortug®) 80-32 tug will have the
maneuverability, power (80 tonnes bollard pull) and towing flexibility
needed to support the 280m, 70,600mt displacement Queen
Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers, the two largest ships ever
commissioned for the Royal Navy. “HMS Queen Elizabeth” and
“HMS Prince of Wales” are currently under construction at Rosyth on
the River Forth in Scotland. Construction of the tug is already well underway and Serco expect to take delivery of the
vessel in early 2017. Serco currently provides a wide range of marine services to the UK MOD operating out of
Portsmouth, Devonport and the Scottish west coast sites at Greenock,
Faslane and Kyle of Lochalsh. This includes passenger ferry, towage and
nuclear safety support for the Royal Navy and visiting foreign Naval
submarines and ships; oil spill response; weapons range safety vessels;
pilot transfer; fuel/water/sullage/sewage; diving training support craft,
including therapeutic recompression capability; worldwide support to
military training; and NATO Submarine Rescue System, training and
deployment platform. Serco is the UK’s largest operator of British flagged
vessels and this new vessel will bring its total fleet to 115, of which 31 will
be Damen-built. The Damen-built ART features a patented Rotortug®
propulsion system consisting of three azimuthing thrusters which provide enhanced omni-directional maneuverability,
and the benefits of a fully redundant and precise machinery
configuration. Serco has also specified a number of modifications to
the Robert Allan Ltd. design to enable her to support the huge aircraft
carriers. These include a double drum render/recovery aft winch for
redundancy and a foldable mast for safe working under the flight deck
overhang. Furthermore, like the previously built tugs, Damen is fitting
the 32.9m long tug with grey fendering to match the livery of Royal
Navy vessels, thus preventing marking of the hulls. They will also be
installing controllable pitch propellers instead of the usual fixed pitch
propellers found on other ART 80-32 vessels…… The first of a series
of three ASD TUGs 2810 Hybrid was navigated into the Den Helder harbor by the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) on
Saturday, February 20th. This hybrid tug that bears the name “Noordzee” is almost 29m long and is the first standard
hybrid tug supplied by Damen that the RNLN will employ. The contract for the three ASD tugs emphasizes the good
cooperative partnership that exists between Damen and the RNLN, as well as their shared vision. Both parties believe
in a durable future and have chosen a sustainable option with the ASD TUG 2810 Hybrid. At this time, the RNLN has
four conventional tugs in Den Helder at its disposal. However, these older vessels do not have sufficient power to tow
new ships such as the “HNLMS Karel Doorman”, “HNLMS Rotterdam”
and “HNLMS Johan de Witt”. Furthermore, the old vessels still make use
of normal propellers with rudders with a restricted maneuverability and no
longer fit the vision of sustainability that the RNLN has for the future. The
state-of-the-art ASD TUG 2810 Hybrid is one of Damen’s standard tugs
and, with its hybrid propulsion system, is powerful and durable. The
vessel is provided with two rudder propeller units for optimum
maneuverability and is able to sail on full electric power by means of a set
of batteries and also diesel-electric on the generator set. When full pull is
required, both main diesel engines are used, giving a maximum bollard
pull of 60 tonnes, ensuring that all heavy duty tug jobs can be realized. The RNLN was explicitly looking for a standard
tug which was very environmentally friendly, as well as being powerful enough to realize heavy operations. The Navy
contracted Damen for the project due to the fact that hybrids and sustainability are standard design concepts for
Damen. In total, the RNLN, in cooperation with the Swedish Navy, has ordered five vessels, including the hybrid tugs.
The two additional Swedish tugs are also of a standard design, but designed for operations in icy waters. The Noordzee
was sailed by the RNLN from Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania to the port of Den Helder. The two other ships, the
“Waddenzee” and the “Zuiderzee” will be delivered in mid-March and mid-June.

SAAM S.A. has placed orders with the Damen Shipyards Group for two ASD Tugs
2411. SAAM is based in Chile from where it offers towage, logistics and port services
in South, Central and North America. With a fleet of nearly 200 vessels it is the
largest such operator in the region. At 24m in length the ASD 2411 is a compact yet
powerful vessel with a maximum bollard pull of 70 tonnes and can be found in
operation all over the world. Sturdily built to a state-of-the art design, they are highly
maneuverable and exceptionally reliable. Damen and SAAM have known each other
for many years. A joint venture between SAAM and Smit ordered an ASD Tug 2913
in 2015 for operations in Panama. Additionally, SAAM operates three Damen Stan
Tugs purchased between 1995 and 1999. These were ordered through René
Berkvens, then Damen sales manager responsible for Chile and now CEO of the
Damen Shipyards Group. SAAM representatives flew to Damen’s shipyard in
Vietnam, where the two vessels had been built and were then being held in stock, to
inspect them. The contract was signed the following day for delivery just three
months later, including all the required modifications. The representatives selected
the Damen vessels based on their combination of high build and service quality,
flexibility and fast delivery times. Damen is also arranging the transport from Vietnam
on a heavy lift vessel and is supplying a number of additional services including crew training in Chile. The duties of the
vessels will be Harbour operations in Chile. Mr. Pablo Caceres, Fleet Technical Manager of SAAM Towage,
commented: "It is very exciting to introduce these two ASD 2411 tugs to the fleet of more than 185 tugboats that SAAM
operates today around the Americas. We are looking forward to seeing the performance and high operational
effectiveness for which Damen is well known and, of course, to seeing our clients appreciating these qualities as
well."……Iskes Towage & Salvage took delivery of a new Damen ASD
2411 in November 2015. In its first 100 days, the tug has been performing
vessel assistance duties in the locks and canals around the Dutch Ports
of Amsterdam and Ijmuiden. Three months after delivery of the “Venus”,
the captain and crew give their comments about the new member of the
fleet. Home to a cross-section of industries, the two ports see a wide
variety of vessel types and sizes. For Iskes Managing Director Jim Iskes,
combining power with minimal dimensions was an important factor. “We
needed a compact tug that could work in the Ijmuiden locks – but also a
versatile one that could handle anything.” Talking about the vessel
acquisition process, Mr Iskes’ experiences with Damen are clear: “You call them with what you want and they organize
it. Then you get the key and you’re on your way. Of course, any new build has problems to start off, but Damen sorts
them out. It’s top quality – what every ship owner really wants.” The Damen ASD 2411 combines advantages of various
tug designs. It has an impressive 70-tonne bollard pull for a 24m tug. The “Venus”, part of Iskes’ twelve-strong fleet
operating out of Amsterdam, has assisted a wide variety of vessels since her delivery. In fact, her first ever job was
helping a 280m bulk carrier out into the open sea and her second was handling a small fishing trawler. The vessel’s
captain, Auke de Haan, has worked for Iskes for six years, mainly on larger, but less powerful, tugs however. “I had my
doubts about working on this relatively smaller tug, but these have turned out to be unfounded. We work a lot over the
bow, towing in reverse, but her stern rises nicely out of the water with great course stability. She’s very maneuverable
and can handle the power well thanks to the slipping clutches. I can perform maneuvers with only 10 revs on the prop.”
While Captain De Haan is pleased with the visibility he has from the bridge, he does have some important feedback for
Damen concerning the levels of comfort there. “The bridge could be
more spacious,” he comments. “For example, there’s a good chair
for the Captain, but only a simple bench for my crew.” Below in the
engine room, Wilco Wittekoek, the “Venus’” Engineer, is well placed
to comment on how the “Venus” has performed in her first 3 months
of service. “She’s nice and quiet,” he says. “There’s quite a lot of
electronics down here compared to some of the older tugs that I’ve
worked on, but that’s unavoidable these days. And, being an
engineer, it’s a shame that you can’t do much work on the engine.
That all happens via the laptop. However, the shore support that we
get from Caterpillar is very handy. Collecting and analyzing data in
this way really contributes to keeping the ship tip-top….”

Rolls Royce azimuthing drives, developing a total of 3,344HP at 1,800RPM and
bollard pull of 38 tonnes. Tug is classed FS Ice Class 1B with the Russian
Maritime Register. Tug can reportedly break through 1m thick ice and in
addition to her normal towing duties can be used for rescue, evacuation and
firefighting purposes. A second sister-vessel is reportedly scheduled to be delivered in May of this year……Global
towage operator Svitzer signed a contract with the Damen Shipyards Group for four ATD 2412 tugs as part of Svitzer’s
ongoing fleet renewal program. All four tugs are being built at Damen Song
Cam Shipyard in Vietnam. Demonstrating the advantages to be gained
from building vessels for stock, Damen is handing over the first two
vessels just one month after contract signing. Svitzer has the first two tugs
signed up for port towage operations at its Dominican Republic joint
venture with Remolcadores Dominicanos. Damen will deliver these
vessels, to be called “Svitzer Maimon” (Hull 545012) (photo left) and “Svitzer
Beata” (Hull 545013), in mid-April 2016. The second two tugs are due for
completion in August 2016. All four vessels are of Damen’s 24.85m x
12.00 x 4.60m depth / 3.23m draft Azimuth Tractor Drive (ATD) design.
This compact, heavy duty tug yields an tonne bollard pull of over 65 tonnes
– the power originating from twin 2,100kW Caterpillar 3516C-HD main engines. A top speed of 12 knots and a powerful
aft winch, combined with Damen’s experience with tug design, make these vessels suitable for consistent and effective
harbor towage activities. Damen has a long relationship with Svitzer. In addition to building a significant part of the
Denmark-headquartered company's fleet, the two parties are also involved in developing new innovations together. For
example, the first ever Reverse Stern Drive® Compressed Natural Gas tug, in cooperation with MTU Friedrichshafen.
Six Robert Allan Ltd. RAmparts 3200W ASD tugs are presently under

A new shipbuilding contract signed between Vane Brothers of Baltimore, Maryland and Conrad Industries of Morgan
City, Louisiana paves the way for construction of three 80,000bbl AT/B units and a 55,000bbl asphalt barge. Delivery of
“Double Skin 510A” asphalt barge and first AT/B is expected in 2017, with the other two
AT/Bs to follow in 2018. Vane currently operates two 140,000bbl AT/Bs, built in 2006 and
2007 by Manitowoc Marine Group specifically for coastwise heavy-oil transport. The
AT/Bs utilize an Intercon mechanical coupler system within a notched wall to connect the
tugboat and barge. Conrad Industries’ new construction segment accounted for 89.1% of
their 2015 total revenue and the repair and conversion segment accounted for 10.9% of
2015 total revenue. For 2015, 15.6% of total revenue was Gulf of Mexico oil and gas
industry (“energy”) related, 71.1% was other commercial and 13.3% was government. This compares to 35.3% energy,
62.0% other commercial and 2.7% government in 2014. Backlog was $211.8 million at December 31, 2015 as
compared to $180.2 million at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015, 93.4% of Conrad’s vessel construction
backlog was from other commercial contracts, 5.2% was from government and 1.4% was from energy contracts.
Although 2016 is expected to be another challenging year, Conrad is optimistic about their long-term prospects after
having met these types of challenges in the past. The company continues to be confident it will continue to be
responsive to changing market conditions.
In early 2015, Robert Allan Ltd., was awarded a contract to provide four
customized versions of its distinctive RAzer series designs of ASD tugs to the
Indonesia Port Corporation, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero), commonly
known as Pelindo III. While Robert Allan Ltd. had long been very active in the
Asian market, these designs were its first directly for a company from
Indonesia, a country estimated to employ more than 2,000 tug boats. From its
Surabaya headquarters, Pelindo III manages 43 harbors in seven provinces East Java, Central Java, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, Bali, West
Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. To ensure designs especially suited
to these ports, the Robert Allan Ltd. design team visited Surabaya to observe
local ship-handling operations, and worked closely with the company’s
Operations Department on these particular requirements. The latest
development specialized RAzer series was chosen, and further customized as
the RAzer 2623, 2935, 2940 and 2960 (3, 6, 4 and 2 boats respectively) to
allow Pelindo III to provide updated towage services throughout the provinces,
and each well-suited to the demands of the individual areas. The RAZer series
tugs are high performance azimuthing
stern-drive (ASD) tugs optimized for
ship-handling and escort duties within the confined spaces of busy ports. The
design features a generous freeboard to ensure a high degree of stability, while
keeping the superstructure low and well aft to enhance safe working under the
flared hull of ships. The tugs will range from 26 to 29m in length and with
bollard pulls from 23 to 60 tonnes. Two local shipyards, PT. Daya Radar
Utama in Jakarta and PT. Dumas Tanjung Perak Shipyards in Surabaya
were selected to build the tugs. Construction work is well in progress and the
first new tug will be in service in Pelindo III’s territory later this year.

Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc., of Panama City, Florida, launched
the Robert Allan Ltd. Z-Tech 2400 Class ASD terminal escort tug “Zyana
th
K” (Hull ESG 238) for Bay-Houston Towing Co. on 19 February. The
80.0’ x 38.3’ x 15.8’ depth “Zyana K”, which is the second Z-Tech 2400
being built in a series of four, is scheduled to deliver later in 2016. Tug is
powered by a pair of CAT 3516C Tier 3 marine diesels developing a total
of 5,150BHP at 1,600RPM (B rating). These drive twin Schottel SRP
1215FP props. Towing gear consists of a Markey Machinery DEPCF-48S
50HP Fairleader electric hawser winch with a 36” wide drum and middrum brake holding capacity of 300,000lbs. The U.S. flag tug is classed
ABS +A1, Towing Vessel, AMS, Escort Service…..The sister-escort tug (photo left) and first of the four being built, the
“H. Douglas M” (Hull ESG 236) also was delivered to Bay-Houston Towing on
th
5 February, after her launching last November. The Bay-Houston Towing Co.
has been involved in ships and boats in Texas waters since Capt. W. D. Haden
joined the schooner “Mermaid” as cabin boy in 1875. The redoubtable Capt.
Haden would later purchase the “Mermaid” and sail as Master. The schooner
carried building supplies from Galveston to Cedar Bayou, Texas. Capt. Haden
began using a mule team to tow his vessel (and others) up Cedar Bayou, his
first foray into towing. In the early 1890s Capt. Haden acquired his first steam
tug, the “Rosemond”, which he used to transport reef shell on Galveston Bay. In
1948, C.R. Haden merged two Texas based towing companies Bay Towing Co.
and Houston Towing Co. into the present Bay-Houston Towing Co. The same family has owned the company for over a
century, with the fifth generation now working on the tugboats. Bay-Houston Towing Co. offers one of the most versatile
fleets of tugs in the Gulf of Mexico, offering assist and escort services in the ports of Houston, Galveston, Texas City,
Freeport, and Corpus Christi. After operating in the Gulf for the last 120 plus years, Bay-Houston Towing is planning for
their next century by investing many millions of dollars in the future……Eastern is also constructing another identical
series of four Z-Tech 2400 terminal escort assist tugs for
Suderman & Young Towing Company. G&H Towing Company is
the Owners’ onsite Representative and Agent during the
engineering, construction and delivery for both Bay-Houston and
Suderman & Young. G&H Towing Company will operate the
vessels after delivery. “Neptune” (ESG Hull #237), the second of
this series of four tugs being constructed for Suderman & Young,
th
was launched on 5 January 2016 Eastern’s Nelson Street facility
and is scheduled to be delivered during the second quarter of this
year. The lead vessel “Triton” (ESG Hull #235) was delivered in
December 2015 and is already in service in Texas. G&H Towing's fleet currently consists of eight Z Tech tugs in
operation.…… Eastern Shipbuilding delivered the azimuthing reverse tractor tug “Archie T. Higgins” (ESG Hull #176) to
th
Bisso Offshore, LLC (E.N. Bisso & Son, Inc.). on 14 December. Upon arrival in Louisiana and at the mouth of the
Mississippi River, the vessel went right to work escorting its first ship
northbound to New Orleans. “Archie T. Higgins” is the fourth 96.0’ x 34.0’ x
14.8’ depth / 14.0’ draft reverse tractor tug design delivered to Bisso Offshore
since 2007. Tug is powered by CAT 3516Cs developing a total of 4,000BHP
and bollard pull of abt. 55 tons. All are from same Z-drive tug design provided
by Jensen Maritime Consultants of Seattle, Washington. The previous three
Bisso Offshore tugs constructed and delivered by Eastern Shipbuilding Group
were the “Josephine Anne”, “Beverly B” and “Elizabeth
B”. E.N. Bisso is owned by fifth generation family
descendants of Captain Joseph Bisso who
innovatively founded the company by launching a ferry service to row people across the
Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans. The company can trace these early days back to
1880 and the oars in their logo are a salute to their origins. This enterprise quickly expanded to
employ the use of steam-powered ferries and tugs. The ferry business grew into a sizable
venture and was eventually sold to the State of Louisiana. In 1946, the company was split up
and Captain Edwin Napoleon Bisso formed his own company with six tugs and two heavy-lift
derricks, later naming it E.N. Bisso & Son.

In early March of this year, Fincantieri Marine Group (FMG) of Sturgeon Bay,
Wisconsin signed a contract for the construction of an articulated tug barge unit
(ATB) for delivery in late 2017. The contract includes an option for a second ATB
unit to be potentially delivered in 2018. The vessels will be built at FMG’s
Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding (FBS) in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The new barge will have a capacity of 185,000bbl with
dimensions of 578’ by 78’. The tug will be an 8,000HP unit equipped with new Tier IV engines to meet the latest EPA
emission standards. When complete, this new ATB will operate on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. “We are pleased
to have this opportunity,” stated Francesco Valente, FMG President and CEO. “This new contract marks an additional
expansion of our product portfolio, confirms our ability to win business with new customers in a very competitive market
and further consolidates our presence and reach in the U.S. market.” “This award increases our pipeline of new
construction to 10 vessels and provides additional stability to our business,” added FBS VP and General Manager,
Todd Thayse. “We are grateful for the confidence that our customers continue to place in our reputation for quality and
the strong shipbuilding skills of our workforce.” In November, Fincantieri Bay
Shipbuilding delivered the 6,000HP ATB tug “Leigh Ann Moran” and tank barge
“Mississippi” to Moran Towing Corporation. One more Moran AT/B unit, the
Ocean Tug & Barge Engineering “Atlantic IV” design, 5,100HP tug “Barbara
Carol Ann Moran” (Hull 776) and a 120,000bbl barge, is scheduled for the
second quarter of 2016. Five close sister-tugs have been built to this design –
“Leigh Ann Moran” (Hull 778 – 2015), “Linda Moran” (Hull 92 – 2008), “Lois Ann
L. Moran” (Hull 94 – 2009), “Mary Ann Moran” (Hull 98 - 2010, and “Pati R.
Moran” (Hull 91 – 2007). Pre-2011 built tugs were built by Washburn & Doughty
Associates of East Boothbay, Maine.
A mobile crane in late January lowered the 65,000-pound pilothouse of
the “Denise Foss” into place at Foss Rainier Shipyard on the Columbia
River in Oregon. “Denise” (Hull 021) scheduled for completion this
spring, is the second of three Arctic Class tugs under construction for
Foss Maritime and will be followed by construction of the third tug, the
“Nicole Foss” (Hull 022). The first of this class, “Michele Foss” (Hull 020)
was delivered in 2015. The 130.0’ x 41.0’ x 20.4’ depth / 17.0’ draft tugs,
designed by Glosten Associates of Seattle, Washington are being built
to specifically operate in the harsh arctic environment and reinforced to
maneuver in ice. A number of
environmental features were
incorporated into this new tug class, including a highly-efficient twin-screw
propulsion system that will be powered by two low-emission engines. Other
features include elimination of ballast tanks, to prevent the chance of

In January, Danish shipping company Thorco Shipping A/S of Copenhagen shipped a
couple of heavy tugs, of abt. 330mt displacement and 23m long, from China to Venezuela.
The tugs were built at a shipyard in South China, close to Guangzhou, and loaded onto their
148.0m x 23.4m, 19,617mtdw general cargo ship
“Thorco Isadora” (2 x 240mt cranes combi 480mt
lift) in Nansha. The client was a Venezuelan
company specializing within this field. The tugs will
be used for both for offshore purposes i.e. for oil
and gas client exploration, barging rigs, cranes
etc. as well as for port mooring operations along
the nearby Venezuelan coast line. The tugs were
successfully discharged in the beginning of March in La Guaira, Venezuela.
Thorco is currently working on the next shipment.
Turkish transport and heavy-lift operator Tork Industrial Logistics Solutions
has delivered a consignment of six tugboats for use in an offshore terminal. The
tugs each weighed 800 tonnes and were delivered from the shipyard to the
floating dock over a period of six months. The boats measured 32 meters in
length and will be used for support services at an offshore terminal as well as
towage and firefighting purposes. A project team of 10 heavy-lift specialists from
Tork relied on two separate heavy-duty prime movers utilizing 32 axles lines for
the transportation. Tork Industrial Logistics Solutions is based in Gebze, Turkey,

The “Iron Guppy”, a new custom 20m (65') ice breaking tug designed by
Robert Allan Ltd. of Vancouver is taking shape at Hike Metal Products
Ltd. in Wheatley, Ontario. The tug is under construction for Ports
Toronto and will replace the 1961 vintage, 18.53m x 5.64m, 560HP single
screw tug “William Rest” (photo lower right) built by Erieau Shipbuilding &
Drydock Co. Ltd. which has served the port well for many years. “Iron
Guppy” was named by Waterfront Elementary School students from a long
list of names developed by students from kindergarten up to Grade 6. The
new tug carries over some of the old
tug's characteristics such as size,
power, and single fixed pitch propeller that the crew have become accustomed
to. With a special ice breaking bow it will be able to break at least 6 inches of ice
continuously and up to 10" ramming. It will be powered by a single 750HP Cummins
QSK19-M engine turning a 53" five-bladed propeller. Bollard pull will be 6 tons. It is
arranged for a crew of up to 6 persons and is fitted out as a "day boat" with a large
crew lounge and pantry but no overnight accommodations. The wheelhouse will
have excellent visibility all around including to the quick release towing hook on the
aft deck. Delivery is expected sometime in June 2016.
Last November, Havyard Ship Technology AS named its newbuilding Hull
122, the ice breaker “Aleut”, two years after signing the contract with the
Russian shipping company FEMCO for the design and construction of three
sister-vessels for long-term operation in the Arctic under extremely low
temperatures. The 86.7m x 19.5m x 9.0m depth / 7.25m draft “Aleut” is the
first of the Havyard 843 Ice Icebreaking offshore vessels being built to
operate under some of the harshest
conditions imaginable supporting the
Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora
Sea between the Russian mainland and Novaya Zemlya (1720 map lower left) in the
Russian arctic. In addition to being an advanced anchor-handling vessel with
platform supply functions, the 2,600mtdw “Aleut” is designed and built to operate
under extreme arctic conditions. Among other things, the DP-2 dynamically
positioning ship has icebreaker class and with her two 3,000bkW Bergen
B32:40L6A and two 4,000bkW Bergen B32:40L8PCD diesels, she has the engine
power that allows it to break one-meter-thick ice at 3 knots, and a de-icing system
so that it can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.
“Aleut’s” maneuverability is enhanced by two 1,000kW bow and two
1,000kW stern thrusters. Another of the ship's extreme qualities is its
ability to ram into and break ice ridges with 8m-thick ice under water.
During the sea trial, the speed was measured at 16 knots and bollard pull
at 201 tonnes. Accommodations are provided for 34 persons. Vessels are

A new class of RAstar escort tugs has been initiated by Sanmar
Shipyard of Tuzla, Turkey and Robert Allan Ltd. Sanmar A.Ş. delivered
the Robert Allan Ltd. designed RAstar 3200W escort tugs “Civitavecchia”
(Hull No. 55) and “Saraceno Primo” (Hull No. 56) to Italian tugboat
operator Italtugs S.p.A. to close out the very busy tug-building year of
2015. This latest delivery is the first vessel of the Sanmar Ulucay class
tugboat which is based on the RAstar 3200W design. The tugs were
constructed at Sanmar’s Tuzla facility. The RAstar Offshore/Escort Tugs
designation is reserved for a unique class of ASD tugs, designed with a
sponsoned hull form, a concept
originated by Robert Allan Ltd. 20
years ago, and which has been proven in both model and full-scale testing to
provide significantly enhanced escort towing and sea-keeping performance.
Motions and accelerations are less than half those of comparable sized “standard”
tug hulls. It is interesting to note that others are now attempting to emulate this
concept. “Civitavecchia” and “Saraceno Primo” are the first of the latest evolution of
the remarkably successful RAstar tug series, now entering its 20th year of ongoing
progressive development. Robert Allan Ltd. worked very closely with Sanmar A.Ş.
to develop this new class of 80-90 tonne bollard pull tugs, targeted at the European
market. The new RAstar 3200W class design was tailored to provide ultimate
operational flexibility and a level of safety and redundancy not achievable with a
smaller vessel. Specific features include a very low profile, wide beam, and
shortened forecastle deck while maintaining the sea keeping and escorting
capabilities of the RAstar class. With
space and volume at a premium,
accommodation, locker, and deck
arrangements were optimized for utility. Unique additions include a bow
thruster and deck crane to aid in oil recovery operations. With an
emphasis on technology and quality, this class of tug was fitted with top
of the line equipment and constructed with crew comfort as a priority.
True workhorses, these vessels have been designed to carry 210m³ fuel
oil and 63m³ potable water for extended endurance, estimated upwards
of 2,700nm cruising at 11 knots.
Tugs are powered by a pair of 2,555bkW MAN-B&W 7L27/38 main engines
developing a total of 6,472HP at 800RPM and driving Rolls Royce 2.8m dia.
US 25 CP azimuthing props. Towing gear consists of a high performance
200 tonne brake tow winch aft for salvage & towing, a 90 tonne SWL tow
hook, heavy duty tow bitt and 100 tonnes SWL flush gob eye. Forward is a
200 tonne brake, double drum, high-performance escort winch, escort
staple, quick release tow hook for towing & ship assist operations off the
bow and two vertical anchor windlasses. A FiFi1 class fire-fighting system by
FFS is main engine driven via Kumera gearboxes and feeds two monitors at
the forward end of the bridge deck and a water spray system. On sea trials,
both tugs demonstrated excellent maneuverability and directional stability,
achieving bollard pulls of 85.0 tonnes and 81.1 tonnes respectively ahead
and astern and free running speeds of 14.9kn and 14.8kn ahead and
astern. Tugs have been classed RINA C +Hull, +Mach, Escort Tug, FiFi
Ship-1, Water-Spraying, Salvage Tug, Oil Rec Ship – F.P. >60 deg. C,
Unrestricted Navigation, Aut-UMS, In Water Survey. Accommodation is
provided for a crew of 10 persons in six cabins, all with en suite facilities.
Italtugs S.p.A. is a relatively new (and at the same time old) tug company
recently formed from a merger of towage & port services of Augustea,
Scafi and Cafimar – all originally part of the Cafiero shipping group which
th
can trace its history in shipping back to the 17 century.

Although they have built previous Voith tractors, the “Ares” (Hull 69) is Sanmar’s first
VSP (Voith Schneider Propeller) tractor tug, of the VectRA 3000 design developed
exclusively for Sanmar by the Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd. in close
collaboration with the shipyard and Voith Turbo Propulsion. “Ares”, being
constructed for Italian tug operator Tripmare S.p.A. of Trieste, was launched in
February at Sanmar Shipyard in Altinova, Turkey. This design contains many
innovative ideas from both the builder and designer aimed at developing a costeffective VSP tug for the world market. Sanmar’s brief to Robert Allan Ltd. was to
create a VSP tug under 500 GRT which would incorporate high-speed engines, a
clutch between thruster and engine, electronic controls and be fully MLC 2006 compliant for all crew accommodation.
The challenges therefore focused on the machinery design and overall layout. “Ares” measures 30.25m in length with a
moulded beam of 13.00m, depth of 5.10m and a navigational draft of 6.30m to the bottom skeg / VSP guard. GRT is
<500 international. The most unique aspect is the propulsion arrangement. Driving the forward located Voith type 32R5 250 cycloid propellers are a pair of CAT 3516C high speed diesels, each developing 2,525kW at 1,800RPM and a
total of 6,866HP. Instead of the traditional Voith Turbo coupling, the engines are
connected to Voith 32R5EC/265-2 cycloidal propellers through a pair of Reintjes model
WAF 863 clutch & reduction gearboxes and Vulkan composite shafts. This reduces
transmission losses, increasing the overall propulsion efficiency, and enabling the drives
to be de-clutched at idle, significantly reducing fuel burn. Using high-speed engines also
significantly reduces space occupied by drive machinery and of course results in much
lower weight, allowing a finer more efficient hull for the same deadweight. Installed cost is
also significantly reduced. This machinery combination will drive the hull at a predicted
speed of not less than 12.5 knots. With a bollard pull of 70 tonnes, the VectRA 3000 can
generate escort steering forces in excess of 100 tonnes. This tug also incorporates the
new electronic Voith Remote Control™ system. This control is set up to work in a
combinator mode whereby both rev/min and pitch increase together at a pre-defined
‘ramp up’. It is believed that this is the first installation of high speed engines with VSP
drives in conjunction with the Voith Electronic Control System. Just like ASD tugs, this
combination lets the captain to clutch-off the thrusters when the tug stays at idle hence
saves fuel. Tankage includes 163m3 fuel, 55m3 fresh water and 11m3 foam. The flush deck layout is relatively
conventional for a Voith Tractor, but in compliance with Maritime Labor Convention 2006, all accommodation is on the
main deck, with two single cabins for officers, two single cabins for petty officers and one double cabin for crew, each
with private en-suite facilities. All towing, ship handling, and escort work is performed using a double drum escort winch
and escort rated staple fitted on the aft deck. The VectRA 3000 is equipped with a DMT TW-H 800kN hydraulic double
drum winch with tension indication. The winch is also provided with hydraulic operated friction clutches. First drum has
a capacity of 710m 54mm wire at 10 layers whereas the second drum has a capacity of 150m 94mm nylon rope at 6
layers. Both drums have tonne brakes. For increased operational flexibility radial type tow hooks are installed fore and
aft. As in a traditional tractor configuration, the stern is the working end of
the tug, and as such features heavy duty cylindrical fendering with ‘W’
fenders below. Hollow ‘D’ fenders protect the sheer lines and tie neatly
into the ‘W’ fenders at the bow. “Ares” is classed ABS +A1 Towing
Vessel, Escort Vessel, +AMS, Unrestricted, ABCU, Fi-Fi1, OilRec Class
2 (>60 deg C), HAB(WB), UWILD. Vessel is fully compliant with Italian
Flag and MLC 2006 regs. The vessel is also designed according to ABS
Habitability workboat (HAB(WB)) notation, which requires specific
attention to decrease vibration and sound levels. This is the first Sanmar
vessel constructed in compliance with this notation.
Danish towage specialist Svitzer ordered two additional ASD tugs from Sanmar to
service the Ichthys LNG project in Darwin, Australia. The RAstar 2800 harbor terminal
tugs will have an 80-tonne bollard pull and equipped with a render/recovery winch, aft
winch, FIFI-1 and LNG package. Delivery is scheduled for 2017 when they will join two
existing vessels in assisting LNG, LPG and condensate carriers at the port. Besides
towage, tugs will provide safety standby, emergency and environment incident response,
FiFi and salvage ops. In August 2015, Svitzer ordered six RAstar 2800-E Class ASD
tugs from Sanmar with delivery starting fourth quarter 2016. These vessels are being
built to fulfil current and upcoming new contracts in various terminal towage markets.

The first of three 70 tonnes bollard pull RAmparts 2400SX tugs, ordered May
2015 by the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates from Sanmar of
Turkey, has now entered service. “Jabal Yabsa”, which is the 16th vessel of this
well proven class, measures 24.4m in length with a moulded beam of 11.25m
and an overall draft of 5.87m. It is capable of a free running speed of 13kn.
Propulsion is provided by Caterpillar 3516C main diesel engines, each
developing 2,100kW at 1,600RPM, coupled to Rolls-Royce US 255 FP type Zdrives. The main engines also power the pumps that feed the external firefighting system, which complies with the ABS FiFi1 notation, and includes twin
FFS monitors located at the forward end of the bridge deck. The main winch, by
DMT, is mounted on the vessel’s fore deck. The RAmparts 2400 SX tug, also
known as the “Bogacay” class, is an exclusive Sanmar design from the Robert
Allan Limited team of naval architects. The design of “Jabal Yabsa” is based on
an intended low-manning operation, facilitated by a high degree of machinery
automation The ceremony took place in Fujairah in the presence of His
Highness Sheikh Saleh Bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Chairman, Department of
Industry & Economy, Government of Fujairah...... Port Otago Limited (POL) of
New Zealand (POL) entered into a contract with Sanmar
in December 2015 to build a Robert Allan design RAscal
1800 Class ASD Tugboat; 18m and 30 ton bollard pull.
POL commenced channel dredging during 2015 with the aim to have a maintained channel
depth of 14m; the work is being undertaken using the Port Otago owned and operated 58.3m x
11.1m x 3.5m dredge “New Era”. This vessel will be primarily used for maneuvering a 750m3
split hopper barge that will work alongside the dredge. Added to this the new tug will be available
as required for ship assist duties and possible external charter opportunities. The new tug will be named “Arihi”, with the
name chosen in consultation with the local Runanga representative body. “Arihi”
was last March. The RAscal 1800 Class ASD Tug design is a result of high level
of cooperation between both operational and construction teams of Sanmar and
the designers at Robert Allan Ltd. The vessel is expected to achieve a 30 tonne
bollard pull, with a speed of 12 knots. She measures 18.7m x 9.2m with a draft of
3.7m. The vessel is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C32 main engines, each
developing 970kW at 1,800RPM driving Veth VZ-900 azimuth drives with carbon
composite shafts turning 1,700mm dia propellers. The first two sister vessels of
this design are in operation at Sanmar’s own fleet. “Arihi” will be delivered to POL
in May upon completion.
Following the delivery in December 2015 of the first two 30.3m x 10.4m x
4.45m depth tugs "VB Ouragan" (Hull 82) and "VB Cyclone" (Hull 83) of a
series commissioned by Boluda France, subsidiary of Boluda Corporation
Maritima, in April the shipyard Piriou delivered two new units – the "VB
Typhon" (Hull 88) and "VB Tempete" (Hull 89). Built by Piriou Vietnam in Ben
Luc with a standard design by Piriou including Boluda’s proposed adaptations,
they will also be deployed in St Nazaire and Dunkerque. The tugs are powered
by a pair of 1,758kW ABS 8DZC diesels developing a total of abt. 4,084HP at

Construction continues on Harley Marine’s “Earl W. Redd” (Hull 34), with the hull now in
drydock at Diversified Marine in Portland, Oregon (photo left). The vessel will be fitted with the
first Caterpillar Tier 4 engine in a tug. Tier 4 standards will require significant emission
reductions of particulate matter (PM) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). PM is defined as the black
smoke/soot found in engine diesel engine exhaust, and NOx is defined as nitrogen monoxide
and nitrogen dioxide……Harley Marine has announced the construction of two new ship
handling vessels also to be built at Diversified Marine in Portland, Oregon. The tugs will be
sister class vessels to the “Michelle Sloan” (photo right) and “Lela Franco” and will enhance the
company’s fleet presence on the West Coast. The tugs will each have a length of 80’, beam
of 36’ and depth of 16’-8”, and are capable of producing 70 short tons of bollard pull. Each
vessel is equipped with two CAT 3516 Tier 3 diesels for a total of approx. 5,200HP, and two
Caterpillar C7.1, Tier 3 generators. These cutting edge engines reduce NOx and particulate matter from Tier 2 models
by 74%. The vessels are each equipped with a Markey bow winch, a barge handling stern winch, and Shibata
fendering. In addition, for crew protection, sound proofing material has been added
to the bulkheads and decks to improve the quality of life onboard the vessels. A
closed-circuit TV system will be installed in the engine rooms and can be accessed
from the wheelhouse or ashore for management to monitor. The vessels are being
built with the most technically and environmentally advanced equipment available
and will exceed all regulatory, internal and customers’ needs and expectations.
Harley Franco, Chairman and CEO of Harley Marine Services announced last week,
“It gives me great pleasure to name these two tugs after our long-time board
member, Rich Padden and the esteemed, Dr. Hank Kaplan of Swedish Cancer
Institute”. The vessels will be named “Rich Padden” and “Dr. Hank Kaplan”.
Jensen Maritime, Crowley Maritime Corp.’s Seattle-based naval architecture
and engineering firm, designed a new high performance “tractor” tug for Vessel
Chartering LLC that features some of the first Tier IV engines meeting higher
federal air emissions standards among U.S. tugboats. The multipurpose
“tractor” tug, which is being built by JT Marine of Vancouver, Washington, was
jointly developed by Vessel Chartering LLC and Jensen. The 110’ long vessel
will feature the ship assist and escort capabilities of smaller harbor tugs, while
delivering the improved towing performance and increased range of larger
ocean-going tugs. The escort capability was enhanced to provide support for
assisting large, 18,000 TEU containerships due to an increased future demand
in West Coast ports of call. The design offers the flexibility to support ship
escorts, assists and towing. The engines are designed to meet federal Tier IV
standards, which incorporate emissions-reducing performance requirements by the EPA. To meet the requirements,
the two engines on this vessel use systems that clean exhaust gases after they have left the engines. This is the third
tug designed by Jensen with engines meeting the Tier IV requirement. With new ballast water treatment requirements
on the horizon from the EPA and U.S. Coast Guard, tug was designed without any ballast tanks, thereby eliminating the
need for ballast water discharge and the potential transfer of invasive species. In lieu of ballast tanks, the tug will
transfer fuel, as necessary, in order to maintain proper trim. “The development of the Tier IV engines for this tug
demonstrates our commitment to innovative, environmentally friendly design while continuing to deliver powerful, highquality performance,” said Johan Sperling, vice president, Jensen Maritime. “This tug will meet our industry’s demands
for strong, yet nimble vessels with the quality design people expect from us.” Tug is planned for delivery in second
quarter 2017 to Vessel Chartering, a wholly owned division of Baydelta Navigation Ltd.
The vessel, which will be 40’ wide, will be powered by a pair of 3,385HP Caterpillar 3516
Tier IV engines. With an electrically powered, double drum tow winch aft by Rapp USA and
an electrically powered hawser winch forward by Markey Machinery as deck machinery, the
vessel will be capable of a 93.5 short-ton bollard pull. Both winches’ electrical power will
remove any chance of a hydraulic oil spill on deck. Tug is designed to carry up to 123,000g
fuel, 4,300g fresh water, and up to 4,500g urea, which is used for treatment of the main
engine exhausts in order to meet emissions requirements. A water maker is being installed
for potable water when out at sea. A large pilot house will provide all-around visibility, and
the deckhouse has an open feel with a large mess and lounge area along with
accommodations for a 10-person crew.

Crowley Maritime Corp.’s Seattle-based naval architecture and marine
engineering company, Jensen Maritime, was recently selected to provide
detailed design services including stability, structure and systems design for two
100’ x 40’, escort tugs for McAllister Towing of New York. The 12kn, 6,770HP
tugs will be constructed at Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc., in Bayou LaBatre,
Alabama., and are scheduled for delivery in 2017. The “Brian A. McAllister” and
the “Rosemary McAllister” will be the 31st and 32nd ocean going escort/rescue
tugboats in the fleet respectively, but will be the first that are Tier IV, meaning
they utilize high-efficiency catalytic after-treatment technology to reduce
emissions. Powered by twin Z-drive propulsion units, the tugs will have an
approx. bollard pull of 90 short tons, making them suitable for offshore service,
ship assist, escort, maneuvering and docking. Both tugs will be Load Lined and
Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping as +A1, Towing, Escort, +AMS,
and FFV-1. “Since 2001, Jensen has designed 13 tugs for McAllister’s fleet,” said Johan Sperling, VP, Jensen. “Their
continued reliance on our knowledgeable naval architecture and marine engineering services proves that we are a
trusted and effective, long-term partner for fleet development and refurbishments.”
In March 2016, the Macduff Ship Design Tweed 13 design 13.0m x 5.4m x 2.47m depth
twin screw line handler “Hamyari” (photo right) built by Sepehr Shipyard in Iran was
completed and has undergone her trials performing to expectations. This is the first
completed vessel of a total order of four which are to be built…… In February 2016, the
"Marsden Bay" was delivered and has entered service for North Tugz at Northport in
New Zealand. The 17m tug (photo left) was built by Boustead Langkawi Shipyard Sdn
Bhd of Malaysia. The vessel was originally based on the
incredibly successful "Sally Mcloughlin", however this new
design, produced to the specific requirements of North
Tugz, increased the overall size of the vessel to 17m length x 8m breadth and 3.6m
depth. Boasting an impressive 28 tonne bollard pull, the tug is driven by two CAT C32
main engines complete with fixed kort nozzles. Deck machinery comprises a forward
towing winch with 30 tonne capacity, a 30 tonne aft tow hook, 2 tonne tugger winch,
deck crane with a 2.65 tonne capacity at 7.9m, a hydraulic windlass and a capstan on
the aft port deck, making the "Marsden Bay" a highly capable vessel in the class of
small harbor tugs, more than able to carry out her standard towing, pushing, surveying
and lifting operations. The tug is classed under BV and also built to conform to the
stability regulations of Maritime New Zealand. "Marsden Bay" is designed to be
operated by a crew of two with overnight accommodation on board and large fuel and
water capacities giving the vessel a lengthy endurance……Also in February, the first
14.9m McDuff design service vessel (photo right) built by RMK Marine in Turkey was
delivered. This build is part of a larger order for five 10.10m mooring tugs, two service
vessels and two 19m tugs. The first vessel
performed to expectations at trials achieving all
the owners requirements including a 16 knot
service speed……In December 2015, Colombo
Dockyard launched their 13.0m x 5.4m x 2.47m depth twin screw tug “Femunu”
(photo left). Tug is a repeat of the successful “Fair Maid of Perth”, designed by
Macduff Ship Design and built by Macduff Shipyards in 2006……Last November,
the "TSM Chausey" (Hull 194), a third
vessel (photo right) for Thomas Services
Maritimes / Thomas Louis of Rouen,
France was completed by Machinefabriek Padmos Stellendam. The tug was
built using the same hull form of the previous 20.35m x 18.90m x 3.60m depth
"TSM Brehat" (Hull 188) developed by Macduff and built in 2013 by the same
shipyard. This new vessel has been slightly altered with a larger aluminum
superstructure allowing for extra mess, galley and accommodation space. Both
BV classed tugs are powered by twin 1,040kW Mitsubishi S12R-MPTAW diesels
driving azimuthing drives and developing a bollard pull of 32 tonnes.

Gunderson Marine, LLC of Portland, Oregon, a division of
Greenbrier Companies, Inc., has received an order from
Seattle-based Harley Marine Services, Inc. to build two
articulated ocean-going barges. The order is for two 430'
barges, each with an 82,000 barrel carrying capacity.
Gunderson most recently delivered a barge to Harley Marine in
2009, the 289’ x 78’ x 24’, 50,139bbl “Webb Moffett” (photo right).
Construction on the barges will begin by mid-2016, with delivery
of both vessels scheduled to occur during the second half of

Wärtsilä’s fourth quarter 2015 order intake decreased 8% to Euro 1,403 million (Euro
1,522), while 2015’s order intake decreased 3% to Euro 4,932 million (Euro 5,084).
Wärtsilä expects net sales for 2016 to grow by 0-5% and operational profitability (EBIT%
before non-recurring items) to be 12.5-13.0%. Jaakko Eskola, President & CEO: “A solid
fourth quarter and continued growth in service volumes supported us in reaching our
targets for the year 2015. Net sales grew by 5% and profitability reached 12.2%.
Furthermore, the quarterly order intake in the equipment businesses improved sequentially towards year end. Given
the challenging operating environment we can be pleased with our performance…….Looking into 2016, we expect
the market situation to remain similar to that seen during the previous year. The favorable development of
service activity is expected to continue, while conditions in energy markets will remain challenging and the
demand for new vessels limited due to overcapacity and low oil prices. Despite our cautious market outlook, we
remain well positioned to benefit from the trends of increasing demand for efficiency and changing energy needs.
Digitalization will increasingly drive our business, as we utilize data analytics to further optimize our customers’
operations, and our own internal processes and performance. Based on our solid order book and project pipeline, a
growing Services business and our focus on continuous improvement, we expect to see some growth in sales and
operating margins in the coming year.”
In marine markets, contracting activity remained under pressure. Low oil prices
reduced exploration and development, which resulted in a sharp decline in demand
for offshore vessels. At the same time, the shipping industry continues to suffer from
overcapacity and low freight rates. While Wärtsilä’s broad market exposure and
extensive offering enabled them to navigate the current shipbuilding cycle relatively
well, flexibility to adapt to changes in market dynamics is
needed and Wärtsilä is realigning their Marine Solutions
organization which means the reduction of approx.. 600 jobs
(announced last July 2015). The decision to adjust capacity
is never made lightly, but it sometimes becomes necessary
in order to maintain a competitive position in the global
market. A key target is to grow faster than the global GDP.
Demand in shipbuilding and shipping industries is mainly driven by developments within the global economy
and the resulting impact on trade and transportation capacity requirements. The global economy influences fuel
prices, which in turn has both a direct and an indirect impact on marine and oil & gas industries. Price, availability, and
demand for fuel drives development in the oil & gas industry, while in the general shipping industry, fuel costs increase
demand for efficient vessels. Other factors, such as shipyard capacity, newbuild prices, decommissioning and
scrapping, and interest and freight rates, also affect these industries. Global demand for new vessels drives Wärtsilä’s
Marine Solutions business, in particular ships built for seaborne cargo transport, offshore drilling, production & support,
cruise & ferry services, and for naval use. Another important driver is development of environmental regulations and the
impact on demand for optimized vessel efficiency, environmental solutions, and gas as a marine fuel. As with most
engine manufacturers, shipyards, owners & operators, following are drivers for Wärtsilä's Marine Solutions business:






Developments in the global economy
Development of world trade and needed transportation capacity
Development of gas as an energy source
Development of oil and gas prices
Development of new offshore oil & gas fields and infrastructures
Environmental regulations
During January-December 2015, 1,371 contracts for new vessels were registered (1,711), of which 230 were in the
fourth quarter (191). Newbuilding prices have been under pressure throughout 2015 due to low demand for new
vessels. Contracting activity in conventional merchant markets was slow. Weak freight rates and overcapacity
adversely affected ordering container vessels and bulkers, while low oil prices and improved earnings supported tanker
contracting. Gas carrier orders remained below the strong volumes seen in 2014, with a 92 vessel contracts registered
in 2015 (173). Demand offshore market declined from 2014, as depressed oil prices continued to limit investments in
exploration and development. The top three shipbuilding countries continued to control contracting activity in terms of
compensated gross tonnage. China and South Korea each secured 30% of confirmed contracts. Japan’s share of the
confirmed contracts improved to 27%, thanks to increased domestic ordering activity. Other countries improved their
share from the previous year, with 292 orders placed outside the top three shipbuilding countries.

For Marine Solutions, the competitive landscape remained largely unchanged in
2015. The most significant competitors in main engine markets are MAN D & T,
Caterpillar (MAK), and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HiMSEN). In propulsion
equipment, competition is more fragmented and varies by product category. Main
competitors for these products are Rolls-Royce plus propeller makers such as
Schottel and Thrustmaster. Wärtsilä’s share of the medium-speed main engine
market was 59% (63% end previous quarter). Market share in auxiliary engines
increased to 12% (9% end previous quarter). Marine Solutions’ fourth quarter order
intake totaled EUR 465 million (460). Compared to the previous quarter, order
intake increased by 14% (EUR 407 million in third quarter 2015). In the gas carrier
segment, Wärtsilä received an order to supply gas cargo handling systems to
eleven new gas carriers, as well as an order to supply cargo & propulsion systems for a new LNG carrier being built for
Saga LNG Shipping. Other noteworthy gas related orders included a contract to supply main engines, gearboxes, props
and fuel gas handling systems for a series of 15 LNG powered inland waterway barges to be chartered by Shell.
Wärtsilä also received an order to supply thrusters and auxiliaries for a semi-submersible crane vessel with two 10,000
tonnes lift capacity cranes being built by Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. / Sembcorp. for Heerema Offshore Services to install
and remove offshore facilities. With a length of 220m and beam of 102m, the crane vessel will be the world’s largest.
Marine Solutions’ January-December 2015 order intake declined 8% to EUR 1,599 million (1,746). Considering the
general slowdown in vessel contracting and further weakening of the offshore market, this was a satisfactory result.
Order intake for Marine Systems International, acquired during 2015, developed well. The gas carrier segment
represented 38% of order intake, while the conventional merchant share was 18% and cruise & ferry accounted for
15%. Special vessels represented 10%, offshore segment 8% and navy 4%. Other orders
accounted for 6%. In line with strategy, Wärtsilä received several orders for delivery of
integrated solutions. Highlights included the contract to supply engines, controllable pitch
propellers, transverse thrusters and an LNGPac gas supply and storage system to the
world’s first duel-fuelled dredger being built for DEME Group. Other significant orders
included the first new generation Wärtsilä 31 engine, which was launched in June. Interest
in environmental solutions continued to increase during 2015. During 2015, the Wärtsilä
34DF engine strengthened market position, with three major South Korean shipyards
supporting use of this engine for auxiliary applications in LNG carriers. Marine Solutions
order book at end December 2015 increased by 16% to EUR 2,558 million (2,213).
Wärtsilä has placed a strong emphasis on product and solution innovation during 2015, particularly in the areas of
efficiency, fuel flexibility, and reduction of environmental impact. During first half 2015, Wärtsilä launched several new
innovative ship designs for AHTS and platform supply vessels, for various sizes of container feeder vessels and a new
series of LNG carriers. Each design emphasizes fuel economy and performance, and come with optional versions to
meet specific needs and flexibility to choose particular features.
The outlook for the shipping and shipbuilding markets remains challenging.
Here is where the “trickle-down” theory really works. The weak short-term
global economic outlook, overcapacity, and low demand for cargo tonnage are
the main obstacles for recovery in conventional shipping markets while low oil
prices, an oversupply of oil and gas, and reduced capital expenditure from oil
companies continue to limit investments in offshore exploration and
development. When they can get the business, shipyards are squeezed on pricing for
newbuildings and they have to further put the squeeze on their suppliers. Meanwhile
vessel owners are busy negotiating extensions to existing delivery contracts, which
represents a risk to shipyard order books.
Gas carrier contracting is expected to remain at a normalized level due to the continued demand for LPG in Asia. The
outlook for the cruise and ferry segment remains positive thanks to economic recovery in Europe and the United
States, as well as increased interest for cruises in Asia. The importance of fuel efficiency and environmental regulations
are clearly visible. Increased environmental awareness and the regulatory environment is driving interest in gas as a
marine fuel in the broader marine markets.
Challenging is the right word for the market.

Caterpillar Inc. faced a tough year in 2015, reporting fourth-quarter sales and revenues
of $11.0 billion, down 22.5% from $14.2 billion in fourth-quarter 2014. The decrease was
primarily due to lower sales volume and the unfavorable impact of currency due to
continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies, with about half of the
impact from the euro. The two most significant reasons for the decline in sales in 2015 were weakening economic
growth primarily in developing countries and substantially lower commodity prices, most notably oil. While sales for both
new equipment and aftermarket parts declined in all segments, most of the decrease was for new equipment.
Sales declined in all regions. In North America, sales decreased 26% due to lower end-user demand, primarily in
Energy & Transportation, and unfavorable changes in dealer inventories, mostly in Construction Industries. In EAME
[Europe, Africa, the Middle East & the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)], sales declined 20%, mostly due to
lower end-user demand for products used in Energy & Transportation applications and the unfavorable impact of
currency, as sales in euros translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Sales decreased 36% in Latin America, primarily due to
widespread economic weakness across the region, which had a negative impact on construction and mining activity
and demand for products used in oil and gas applications. The most significant decrease was in Brazil. Asia/Pacific
sales declined 16%, primarily due to lower end-user demand for Energy & Transportation applications and products
used in mining, and lower sales in China and India. The most significant decline was in China, a result of continued
weak residential and nonresidential construction activity. In addition, the impact of currency was unfavorable as sales,
mostly in Australian dollars and Japanese yen, translated into fewer U.S. dollars. These unfavorable items were
partially offset by favorable changes in dealer inventories as dealers reduced inventories more significantly in the fourth
quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.
Sales decreased in all segments. Energy & Transportation’s sales
declined 29% due to lower end-user demand due to substantially lower
oil prices and the unfavorable impact of currency. The decline was
most pronounced in equipment used for well servicing and drilling
applications, with the most significant impact in North America,
Caterpillar’s largest market for well servicing. Construction
Industries’ sales decreased 18%, primarily due to the unfavorable
impact of changes in dealer
inventories as dealers
decreased inventories more significantly in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared
to the fourth quarter of 2014. Resource Industries’ sales declined 23%, mostly
due to continued low end-user demand. Financial Products’ segment
revenues were down 8%, primarily due to lower average earning assets and
lower average financing rates.
“Cost management, restructuring actions and operational execution are helping the company while sales and revenues
remain under pressure from weak commodity prices and slowing economic growth in developing countries. We took
tough but necessary restructuring actions in 2015 – and they were significant. I am proud that our team stayed focused
on our customers in this difficult environment. Our balance sheet is strong; our product quality remained at high levels;
we gained market position for machines for the fifth year in a row;
inventory levels have declined and are well positioned as we look
forward to 2016; and our safety levels are world class. We are
benefiting now and expect to even more in the future when markets
rebound,” said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman.
This past year was a difficult one for many of the industries and customers Caterpillar serves. Sales and revenues for
2015 were nearly 15% lower than 2014 and 29% off the 2012 peak. The two most significant reasons for the decline
from 2014 were weakening economic growth and substantially lower commodity prices. Impact of weak economic
growth was most pronounced in developing countries, such as China and Brazil. Lower oil prices had a substantial
negative impact on the portion of Energy & Transportation segment that supports oil drilling and well servicing, where
new order rates in 2015 were down close to 90% from 2014.
“We anticipated about $5 billion of the $8 billion sales and revenues decline in our January 2015 outlook as we started
the year. Actual sales and revenues were about $3 billion below that $50 billion outlook because of steeper than
expected declines in oil prices, a stronger U.S. dollar, weaker construction equipment sales and lower than expected
mining-related sales in Resource Industries,” added Oberhelman.

In 2015, CAT took substantial additional restructuring actions to lower their cost structure. As a result, restructuring
costs of $908 million were higher than anticipated when started the year. An important element of Caterpillar’s strategy
is maintaining a strong balance sheet to weather the ups and downs of the cyclical industries they serve and to support
growth when business improves. CAT finished 2015 with $6.5 billion of cash and a strong balance sheet with a
Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) debt-to-capital ratio of 39.1%, well within their target range of 30 to
45% and only slightly higher than 37.4% at year-end 2014. ME&T operating cash flow was $5.2 billion in 2015, and with
modest need for capital expenditures, helped enable a 10% increase in the quarterly dividend and about $2 billion of
share repurchases in 2015. “Fundamentally, we stayed focused in the right areas: we delivered solid cash flow,
maintained a strong balance sheet and our credit rating and increased the dividend. Maintaining our current dividend
and our credit rating is important even in these tough times – it is a high priority for the company,” said Oberhelman.
CAT has a substantial captive finance company - Caterpillar Financial Services, serving thousands of customers
around the world. Key portfolio metrics, such as past dues and credit losses, were near historic averages despite
weakness in the industries CAT serves. Reported revenues were $2.67 billion for 2015, a decrease of $212 million, or
7%, compared with 2014. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a $117 million unfavorable impact from lower
average earning assets and an $80 million unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates. Retail new business
volume for 2015 was $11.42 billion, a decrease of $1.26 billion, or 10%, from 2014. The decrease was primarily related
to lower volume across most regions, partially offset by an increase in North America. Cat Financial reported fourthquarter 2015 revenues of $648 million, a decrease of $55 million, or 8%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2014.
The outlook for 2016 Caterpillar sales and revenues does not anticipate improvement in world economic
growth or commodity prices. CAT expects world GDP growth in 2016 to be similar to 2015 at about 2.5%. While
economic growth is expected to continue to be weak, but stable, there are certainly risks. Political conflicts and social
unrest continue to disrupt economic activity in parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. The Chinese
government’s push for structural reform slowed growth and increased volatility, and U.S. monetary policy could temper
business confidence. In addition, commodity prices, oil in particular, declined substantially. Further declines in
commodity prices could negatively impact 2016 financial results. Sales and revenues are expected to be in a range of
$40 to $44 billion – a mid-point of $42 billion, reflecting a decline of about $3.5 billion from last October’s preliminary
outlook and revenues and a year-over-year decline of about 10%. The decrease from last October’s preliminary outlook
is largely a result of continued declines in commodity prices and economic weakness in developing countries.
Sales in Energy & Transportation are expected to decline 10 to 15% from 2015. Much
of the decline is a result of low oil prices. During first half 2015, sales remained at
relatively high levels for equipment used in drilling and well servicing because CAT
started the year with a substantial order backlog. Sales declined during second half
2015 as orders from the backlog shipped and new order levels were weak. That impact,
along with the further decline in oil prices, are the primary reasons for the expected
decline in Energy & Transportation’s 2016 sales. In addition, continuing weakness in
economic conditions in much of the world is expected to be negative for sales of power
generation equipment, industrial engines, marine and rail.
Sales in Resource Industries are expected to be down 15 to 20% from 2015 as a result of continuing reductions in
mining-related commodity prices and difficult financial conditions for many mining customers around the world as they
continue to cut capital expenditures in response to low commodity prices and their difficult financial positions. Sales in
Construction Industries are expected to decline 5 to 10% from 2015. In the U.S., improving labor market conditions
and relatively stable economic growth should continue to support the wider economy and construction. However, CAT
expects weakness in developing countries and lower activity in oil- producing regions to persist.
“Our outlook reflects struggling oil and other commodity markets, and continued economic weakness in developing
countries. While the U.S. and European economies are showing signs of stability, the global economy remains under
pressure. While we manage through these difficult economic times with substantial restructuring actions to lower costs,
we are also preparing for the long term. We are continuing substantial investments in R&D and our digital capabilities.
These investments will be positive for Caterpillar and our customers through connected fleets and jobsites and access
to data and predictive analytics. Investing in the future is important to improving productivity and the bottom line – for
Caterpillar and our customers over the long term. While it is tough to predict when an economic recovery will happen,
the investments we are making and the actions we are taking to lower our cost structure and improve quality and our
market position will help deliver better results when a recovery comes,” said Oberhelman.

Calling it “the next logical step in marine technology,” Crowley
®
Maritime Corporation is installing Cat Asset Intelligence
software on one of its vessels. The Voith Schneider tractor tug
“Guide”, a ship-assist vessel operating out of Seattle, is being
fitted with a custom vessel monitoring and diagnostics
solution, which will keep watch over its main engines,
generators, thrusters and critical systems 24/7. While
completely automated from data capture through analysis and
advisory recommendations for each piece of equipment, the
Caterpillar Marine Asset Intelligence team will provide advisory
and management reports including recommendations for
individual equipment, as well as additional ways Crowley can
save money and incrementally improve operations. “It’s a
robust system that does all the key monitoring and analysis we
need,” said Bill Metcalf, Vice President of Strategic
Engineering for Crowley Maritime. “We’re looking at it as the next level of management and optimization, and we want
to see how it can help us increase reliability, safety and efficiency onboard our vessels.” Unlike technologies that only
®
monitor engine performance, Cat Asset Intelligence services provide monitoring and diagnostics for an entire vessel,
including many of its critical operating systems. Dedicated Fleet Advisors then use the aggregated data and automated
analytics to provide customers, such as Crowley, with actionable advisories to increase vessel productivity and improve
equipment management. “It’s very scalable and customizable. That’s one of the things we liked about this technology,”
®
®
Metcalf said. “Plus, Cat Asset Intelligence will monitor and analyze anything—not just Cat products. That was a big
selling point as we, like many others, have a wide variety of equipment
that is critical to our success.” With the software monitoring and
analyzing Guide’s key systems, Crowley Maritime expects to see
value in a number of areas. “It can give us early warning of a
catastrophic failure so we can schedule maintenance. It can save us
time and money during the inspection process. It can help us keep our
vessels and people out of harm’s way,” Metcalf said. “We’re also
looking at fuel savings. That’s not likely to be a big issue on ‘Guide’,
because of its size and application, but it could be huge for our larger
vessels.” On smaller vessels like the 105’ x 36’ x 15’ “Guide”, which
®
operate with a limited crew, Cat Asset Intelligence software’s remote
monitoring capabilities play a critical role.
“’Guide’ is a four-man boat, which means the chief engineer also serves as a deckhand when he’s on duty,” Metcalf
said. “This technology will make his job easier. And as its accessible for our engineering staff, adding another set of
eyes on the vessel, another level of comfort for the captain and operations team.” Crowley Maritime has established a
governance committee to analyze the software’s performance onboard “Guide” and, if it proves valuable, hopes to
expand vessel monitoring and diagnostics to other ships in its fleet. “We consider Crowley Maritime an important
®
partner, and we’re working through the Cat Asset Intelligence
journey together,” said Leslie Bell-Friedel, Global Business
Manager for Caterpillar Marine Asset Intelligence. “There’s a real
team mentality in place to ensure they get as much value from
this technology as possible.” Metcalf is confident the addition of
®
Cat Asset Intelligence technology will help Crowley Maritime
maintain and enhance its reputation as a leader in the areas of
safety, reliability and efficiency. “Guide” was the third of six
“Harbor Class” sisters designed by Guido Perla & Associates of
Seattle and built by Nichols Bros. of Freeland, Washington in
1998 – on Whidbey Island. Each of the six ship assist and escort
tugs feature Voith Schneider twin cycloidal propulsion and a
hydrofoil-shaped skeg that provides greatly improved steering
control, and sea-keeping ability when the vessel is running at
high speeds in the skeg-first direction.

The MAN Group looks back at a challenging fiscal year in 2015: While the European
commercial vehicles market recovered, the situation in other regions — especially Brazil —
and in the Power Engineering business area remains tense. Although the global economy
recorded moderate growth, economic momentum in many emerging economies slowed
further over the course of the year. Russia and Brazil continue to be of great concern. In the
Power Engineering business area, the downward market had a dampening effect on the
Engines & Marine Systems and Turbomachinery strategic business units. Power Plants felt
the impact of slower economic growth and longer project lead times in key emerging economies. In the Power
Engineering business area, order intake decreased by approximately 13% year-on-year to €3.4 billion.
Cummins Inc. fourth quarter 2015 revenues of $4.8 billion decreased 6% from the same quarter
in 2014, with the impact of currency, primarily a stronger U.S. dollar, negatively impacting sales by
4%. Revenues in North America declined 2% while international sales declined by 12%. Within
international markets, sales in Latin America declined the most. Revenues for the full year 2015
were $19.1 billion, 1% lower than 2014. Revenues in North America increased 7%, but
international sales declined 11% due to lower sales in Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific. A
combination of weak end markets and a strong U.S. dollar presented significant challenges.
Quarterly industrial engine sales steadily declined, from US$ 616 million in the first quarter to US$
601 million during the fourth. 2014 fourth quarter industrial engine sales were US$ 775 million.
Rolls-Royce reported an underlying revenue of £13.4 billion for 2015 (FY 2014:
£13.9bn), down 1% at constant exchange rates. Trading outlook for 2016 remains
unchanged. Underlying 2015 marine revenues of £1,324 million were down 16%
due to weak offshore markets impacting both OE and aftermarket revenues. 56%
of 2015 revenues came from the offshore segment, followed by 24% merchant and 20% naval. The outlook for 2016
will be challenging, led by reduced demand in the offshore oil and gas markets. Warren East, Chief Executive, said:
“In the context of challenging trading conditions our overall performance for the year was in line with the
expectations we set out in July 2015. It was a year of considerable change for Rolls-Royce: in our management,
in some market conditions and in our near-term outlook. At the same time, there were some important constants:
the underlying growth of our long-term markets, the quality of our
mission critical technology and services, and strength of
customer demand for these, which are reflected in our growing
order book……Our outlook for 2016 is unchanged; despite
steady market conditions for most of our businesses it will be a
challenging year as we start to transition products and sustain
investment in Civil Aerospace and tackle weak offshore markets
in Marine.” Damen Shipyards delivered the first of a total of three
hybrid tugs of the type ASD 2810 Hybrid to the Dutch Navy at the end
of February. The delivery followed the handover by Damen of two
new sea-going Ice Class tugs to the Swedish Navy at the end of
2015. Rolls-Royce supplied Damen with a total of ten MTU Series 4000 engines and five MTU Series 2000 engines, in
addition to azimuthing thrusters for the propulsion system of the workboats. The MTU brand is part of Rolls-Royce
Power Systems. The Dutch Navy’s hybrid tugs contain a main mechanical propulsion system equipped with two MTU
16V4000 M63R engines – each delivering 1,840kW of power – plus a diesel-electric propulsion system, equipped with
a 640kW genset based on a MTU 12V2000 M41B engine, and batteries. Tugs equipped with hybrid propulsion can
operate in port and coastal areas solely on battery power generated by the combustion engine. Compared with other
tugs, hybrid versions use up to 30% less fuel and produce 40% fewer exhaust emissions. Each vessel supplied to the
Dutch Navy has a maximum bollard pull of 60 tonnes. Among their many duties,
the tugs will be given the task of towing military vessels, carrying crew and
positioning floating targets during military exercises. The two tugs for the
Swedish Navy are powered by two MTU 8V4000 M63 diesels, each delivering an
output of 1,000kW. The ICE Class workboats have a reinforced hull and are
highly resistant to abrasion and mechanical stress. As all-rounders, they are not
only designed to maneuver in waters partly covered in ice, but also to recover
torpedoes used in military exercises and tow ships, as well as carry military
equipment, drinking water, fuel, and up to 12 crew. They are equipped with
firefighting equipment powered by a 600kW MTU Series 2000 engine.

Schottel started into 2016 with a bag full of new orders. The December orders underpin the leading
role the German manufacturer plays in the tug market. 2015 was terminated with eight orders for
powerful ASD tugs and a Rotor Tug with bollard pulls from 50 to 80 tons. The orders are covering the
whole range of vessel types – tugs, four double-ended ferries, fishery patrol ships, survey vessels for
inland waterways, seismic research vessels and yachts. Again the Schottel Rudderpropeller was the
first choice of the shipowners. The SPJ was chosen thanks to its property to supply full propulsive
power even in very shallow waters. And the STP turned out to be the number one solution for double ended ferries.
Also for the conventional shaft lines with CPP Schottel could book a series of significant orders for various vessel
types. The unique Schottel NAV was selected for an inland water work vessel and it seems that this classic complete
propulsion package for “plug and play” motorizing a vessel seems to be facing a promising future after a re-launch.
The newly built M/V “Dan Reeves” was commissioned in January of 2016 for the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Little Rock District. Built by
Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc., Bayou La Batre, Alabama., overseen by the USACE
Marine Design, the 95’ x 43’ x 10’ depth / 8.5’ loaded draft vessel is designed to comply
with proposed USCG Subchapter M Requirements. Power and propulsion is provided
by two CAT C32 C rated main engines, giving 1,300HP each
at 1,800-2,100RPM, along with two Thrustmaster TM1500MZ
Z-Drives with 5.74:1 reduction gears and 4-blade, 67.75”
diameter props. Deck gear consists of four Patterson barge
winches, capstan and a Rapp Hydra Pro crane. Vessel is classed ABS +A1 Towing Vessel,
River Service, +AMS.
Ingram Barge Company of Nashville, Tennessee repowered three 170’
x 40’, 5,000HP inland river towboats - “Crystal D. Taylor”, “Robert J.
Barker” and “Kim W. Nowell” with new diesels provided by GE
Transportation. The vessels are currently powered by Alco 16-251B
diesels. GE’s 8 cylinder, 250mm bore inline medium speed (1,000RPM)
Tier 4 compliant marine diesel engine provides Ingram with more power,
faster response time, increased fuel efficiency and proven reliability all
with technology which allows Ingram to meet the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) stringent Tier 4 emissions standards without
the use of a Selective Catalytic Reduction system
(SCR) after-treatment. “GE’s 1000 RPM non-urea
engine solution drove our decision on which engines to choose for the repowers,” said David
Sehrt, Ingram’s SVP & Chief Engineering Officer. Ingram used the Tier 2 version of the 250
series of marine diesel engines to repower the towboats “William P. Morelli” (166’ x 42’, 7,300HP)
and the “Bill Berry” (145’ x 48’, 6,000HP) in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Together, the two
towboats have approximately 80,000 operating hours of proven reliability. Two of Ingram’s
towboats are currently being retrofitted with the new GE engines, and are expected to be back on
the river in August. The third vessel is planned to be completed in the spring
of 2017……SAAM has taken delivery of its first two tugs to be powered by
GE Marine. These new 80-ton RAstar 3200 terminal support tugs include
two 8L250 GE Marine diesel engines. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd. and
built at Guangdong Bonny Fair Heavy Industry Limited in China, the tugs
“Arriero” (Hull BF-2241) and “Maneador” (Hull BF-2242) will operate out of
Uruguay. Two additional vessels ordered by
SAAM and also to be powered by GE
Marine, the “Yunco” (BF-2243) and
“Huairavo” (BF-2244) will sail out of Chile.
This particular tug design, having an overall
length of 32 m with a moulded beam of 12.8 m, is very versatile and can be used in a
range of duties, from port operations and escort duties to support work for the offshore
oil industry. As part of this tug application, the 8L250 GE Marine diesel engines are
able to effectively support this range of duties by developing 2,440 kW at 1,050 RPM
driving Rolls-Royce US 255 FP azimuth thrusters giving a bollard pull over 85 tons.

The Economy, Trade & the Towing Industry
The health of the towing industry - both in the U.S. and abroad - is dependent on
trade in goods and that level of goods or commodities traded and moved
depends on economic growth. The last eight years since the 2007- 2008
financial crisis have been difficult for everyone and for all modes of
transportation – not just tug and barge. It seemed to take about two years to
recover after past downturns, from the “double-dip” of the 1980s to the collapse
of the “dot-com bubble” in 2000. This time it is taking much longer, with many
more speed bumps encountered en-route. Eight years after the 2008-9 Great
Recession I can still walk around and see many of the same shuttered store
fronts. The International Monetary Fund hit the nail on the head with the title of
their April 2016 “World Economic Outlook” – “Too Slow for Too Long”.
Global growth or world output is forecast by the IMF to be 3.2% this year, up only
slightly from the 3.1% in 2015. 3.5% is projected in 2017 and 3.9% in 2021. The
global recovery has continued to weaken further amid increasing financial
turbulence. Activity softened toward the end of 2015 in advanced economies and
the stresses in several large emerging market economies showed no signs of
abating. Adding to these headwinds are concerns about the global impact of the
unwinding of prior excesses in China’s economy as it works to transition itself to
a more balanced growth path after a decade of strong credit and investment growth, along with signs of distress in
other large emerging markets, including from falling commodity prices. While growth in emerging market and
developing economies still accounts for the lion’s share of projected world growth in 2016, prospects across countries
remain uneven and generally weaker than over the past two decades. In particular, a number of large emerging
markets - including Brazil and Russia - are still mired in deep recessions. Others, including several oil-exporting
countries, also face a difficult macroeconomic environment with sharply weaker terms of trade and tighter external
financial conditions. Growth in China and India has been broadly in line with projections, but trade growth, which the
marine industry depends on, has slowed down noticeably. The trade slowdown is related to a decline in the growth of
investment across emerging market economies, which not only reflects rebalancing in China but also the sharp scaling
back of investment in commodity exporters, particularly those facing difficult economic conditions.
Growth in advanced economies
is projected to remain modest,
in line with 2015. Unfavorable
demographic trends, low
productivity growth and legacies
from the global financial crisis
continue to hamper a more
robust pickup in activity. While a
very accommodative monetary
policy and lower oil prices will
support domestic demand, stillweak external demand, further
exchange rate appreciation especially in the United States and somewhat tighter financial
conditions will continue to weigh heavily on the recovery. The recovery is projected to strengthen in 2017 and beyond,
driven primarily by emerging market and developing economies, as conditions in stressed economies start gradually to
normalize. But uncertainty has increased and the risks of weaker growth scenarios are becoming more real. The
projected pickup in growth in 2017 of 3.5% and over the rest of the forecast horizon hinges crucially on rising growth in
emerging market and developing economies, as growth in advanced economies is expected to remain modest, in line
with weakened potential growth. Marcon stresses that the numbers projected are only estimates and regularly revised
many times after-the-fact in-line with reality – and lately those revisions are usually downwards.

When working with relatively low growth there is not much room for error and a lot of downside risk. Significant
downside risks remain and are on the rise – especially in this current environment of weak growth and events that
make those risks come more to the forefront may well trigger renewed financial turbulence.
•

•
A return of financial turmoil, impairing confidence and demand in a negative feedback loop. For instance, an
additional bout of exchange rate depreciations in emerging market economies could further worsen corporate
balance sheets and a sharp decline in capital inflows could force a rapid compression of domestic demand.
A protracted period of low oil prices could further destabilize the outlook for oil-exporting countries.
A sharper slowdown in China than currently projected could have strong international spillovers through trade,
commodity prices and confidence and lead to a more generalized slowdown in the global economy.
Shocks of a noneconomic origin - related to geopolitical conflicts, political discord, terrorism, refugee flows, or
global epidemics - loom over some countries and regions and, if left unchecked, could have significant
spillovers on global economic activity.
Another threat is that persistent slow growth has scarring effects that themselves reduce potential output and with it,
consumption and investment. Consecutive downgrades of future economic prospects carry the risk of a world economy
that reaches stalling speed and falls into widespread stagnation. Adding to this list are pressures with origins in political,
geopolitical, or natural developments.
The problem for shipping is not just the slow growth in world output or GDP. In the
20 years leading up to the last global financial crisis, international trade expanded
rapidly - at a rate roughly double global GDP. Since 2006, world trade growth has
declined – in both volume and also relative to GDP.
The average annual change in global output was 4.2% between 1998 and 2007.
The average growth in the volume of trade in goods, excluding services, during
that time was 6.9% - and many of those goods was transported by multiple carriers
and modes - increasing revenues for truckers, rail and tug and barge operators
across the world.
The slowdown in trade has been remarkably widespread. An analysis of recent
trade patterns of 174 countries by the International Monetary Fund reveals that
trade growth has weakened in an overwhelmingly majority of countries. This
holds true even after the weak growth in income and the decline in trade prices are
taken into account. The annual average growth of world trade in goods, excluding
services, predicted for 2008 through 2017 is 2.8% - and that includes the gains of
14.3% in 2010 and 6.9% in 2011 - which I consider as “I’ve been down so long it
looks like up to me” figures following the decline of 11.6% in 2009.
A recent KPMG Transport Tracker on Market Trends reports
that while trade growth traditionally outpaced GDP rates by a
factor of two to three, the ratio is now 1.5 times and expected
to remain stagnant in the coming years. This is probably a case
of comparing apples and oranges and my taking a simplistic
approach, but when I look at the numbers, the change in the
growth of world trade in goods, not just seaborne trade, has
remained below the growth in world output or GDP since 2012.
The 2015, 2016 and 2017 increases in the volume of world
trade are forecast at 2.4%, 2.8% and 3.6% respectively.
Regardless of the exact numbers and how they were
calculated, they all remain below growth in world output.

The 1990s and early-mid 2000 became the longest period of growth in American history with annual growth rates of 5%
and above for two thirds of the time and averaged 3% between 1998 and 2007. Real GDP growth in the United States
has been flat for the past two years – 2.4% in 2014 and 2015 and is expected to remain at the same level until 2017
when a growth of 2.5% is projected. First quarter 2016 U.S. real gross domestic product started off at only one-half
percent - which hopefully will prove to be temporary. Domestic demand has been weak and we are not going to see
much investment in the energy sector at the current prices of crude oil and natural gas. Even with these lackluster
figures, the forecast for economic growth in the U.S. over the next five years is higher than the advanced economies in
Europe, Japan, and Latin America – even in 2021 when growth is projected to fall back to 2.0% for the U.S. and 1.8%
for advanced economies due to lower productivity growth and aging populations.
In both the United States and Europe, the political discussion is turning increasingly inward – all you have to do is turn
on the 6 o’clock news at night to recognize this is happening. The causes are complex but certainly reflect growing
income inequality as well as structural shifts, some connected with globalization, that are seen as having favored
economic elites while leaving others behind. Fear of terrorism also plays a role. The result could be a turn toward more
nationalistic policies, including protectionist ones. In the United Kingdom, the planned June referendum on European
Union membership has already created uncertainty for investors; a “Brexit” could do severe regional and global
damage by disrupting established trading relationships. Adding to political strains in Europe is the tragedy of large-scale
refugee inflows, especially from the Middle East. Of course, a sizable fraction of refugee flows originates in violent
extremism or sectarian strife, factors that devastate source economies and threaten their neighbors. Yet there are also
natural causes of population displacement, some linked to climate change. Extreme flooding and drought from the
current El Niño is worsening poverty and displacement in a range of emerging markets and low-income developing
countries. Apart from these risks, the April World Economic Outlook also sees a further weakening of global growth
under its baseline scenario. An important cause is that demand, notably investment demand, remains weak worldwide,
but especially in commodity exporters, whose terms of trade have collapsed. China’s rebalancing process has
subtracted measurably from world investment growth and generally higher uncertainty about global growth prospects is
also a factor. Weak investment demand, in turn, has been associated with slower growth in international trade, given
the important roles played by capital and intermediate goods.
Annual growth in the world trade volume in goods, excluding services, is projected to increase slightly to 2.8% for 2016
after 2.4% growth last year. This trade is projected to increase an additional 3.6% in 2017. These are not very large
increases and there is no guarantee, but at this point I will take every positive fraction of a percent I can. To put these
numbers in perspective, average growth from 1998 to 2007 was 6.9% and the average from 2008 – 2017 is projected
to be 2.8%. World exports of goods, excluding services, are projected to total US$ 15,739 billion in 2016, down from
$16,266 billion last year. (Note that in early 2014, the world trade in goods for 2015 was projected to be $20,132 billion).

As in the rest of the world, growth in trade of goods in the United States has naturally mirrored gross domestic product.
Growth in the total tonnage of waterborne commerce was up 5.6% in 2010, but this was playing “catch-up” after a
decline of 10.8% the previous year. 2011, 2012 and 2013 percentages were, like global trade figures, all below change
in U.S. GDP. Exact comparisons for 2015 and 2016 are not available, but the tonnage of total commodities carried on
Internal U.S. Waterways declined 1 percent in 2015 after a 5.8% gain the year before and first quarter 2016 total
tonnages were down 1.3% when compared to the previous year’s corresponding quarter.

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 160,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was
unchanged at 5.0% according to a report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In April, the
unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons (7.9 million) were little changed. Both
measures have shown little movement since August 2015. The number of long-term unemployed
(those jobless for 27 weeks or more) by 150,000 to 2.1 million in April. These individuals account
for 25.7% of the unemployed. The labor force participation rate decreased though to 62.8% and the
employment-population ratio edged down to 59.7. The number of persons employed part time for
economic reasons (involuntary part-time workers) was about
unchanged in April at 6.0 million and has shown little
movement since November. These individuals, who would
have preferred full-time employment, were working part-time
because their hours had been cut back or because they were
unable to find a full-time job. In April, 1.7 million persons were
marginally attached to the labor force, down by 400,000 from
a year earlier. These individuals were not in the labor force,
wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job
sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as
unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4
weeks preceding the survey.
Regardless of how good a 5% unemployment rate sounds, especially considering the peak of over twice that in 2009, if
you take in account 1,715,000 persons marginally attached to the labor force, 568,000 discouraged workers, 5,962,000
employed part time for economic reasons and 7,920,000 officially unemployed, the U.S. still has 16,165,000
(16,334,000 last November 2015) either under employed or unemployed which is 10.17% of the U.S. civilian labor force
– although admittedly that is much better than 18.12% ten years ago. That is a waste of a good resource.
If crude oil prices stay near current levels until 2018, we are bound to see unemployment climb. Hundreds of thousands
of workers across the globe have already been cut by drillers, oilfield service companies and their suppliers /
manufacturers. As proven by the failure of the latest OPEC meeting in Doha to come to any agreement - the end is not
yet in sight. The present 5% unemployment rate is a fragile number. Overall hiring slowed in April, with the job gains
occurring primarily among professional, business services, financial and health industries. Mining employment
continued to decline and construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and warehousing,
and government showed little or no change over the month.
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, estimates that 21.491 million men and women in the EU-28, of
whom 16.437 million were in the euro area (EA-19), were unemployed in March 2016. The euro area seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate was 10.2% in March 2016, down from 10.4% in February 2016, and from 11.2% in March
2015. The EU-28 unemployment rate was 8.8% in March 2016, down from 8.9% in February 2016, and from 9.7% in
March 2015. Among the Member States, the lowest unemployment rates in March 2016 were recorded in the Czech
Republic (4.1%) and Germany(4.2%). The highest rates have been
observed in Greece (24.4% in January 2016) and Spain (20.4%).
At the beginning of 2005 a period of steadily declining
unemployment started, lasted until the first quarter 2008. At that
time, EU-28 unemployment hit a low of 16.1 million persons
(equivalent to a rate of 6.8%) before rising sharply in the wake of
the economic crisis. Between the second quarter 2008 and mid2010 the unemployment level went up by more than 6.6 million,
taking the rate up to 9.7%, at that time the highest value recorded
since the start of the series in 2000. The decline of unemployment
in the following three quarters was a deceptive sign of an end of the crisis and of a stable improvement in labor market
conditions in the EU-28. In fact, since the second quarter 2011 and until the first quarter of 2013 unemployment steadily
and markedly increased taking it to the record level of 26.4 million, corresponding to a record rate of 10.9%. Since then
the rate has started to decrease, reaching 9.9% at the end of 2014. Singapore’s unemployment rate was unchanged at
1.9% from December 2015 to March 2016. Over the same period, unemployment rate declined among residents (2.9%
to 2.7%) and citizens (3.0% to 2.6%). This was largely due to a lower labor force participation rate among youths.
Malaysia’s January unemployment rate of 3.4%, same as December 2015 and up 0.3 percentage points from last
November. The number of unemployed in South Korea totaled 1,155,000 in March, or 4.3% of its labor force, up 0.3%
year-on-year – and as far as China goes, your guess is as good as mine.

According to the OECD, G20 total international merchandise trade, seasonally adjusted and expressed
in current US dollars, continued to contract in the fourth quarter of 2015. Exports fell for the sixth
consecutive quarter (by 1.6% in Q4 2015), while imports fell for the seventh consecutive quarter
(by 1.9%). Export values fell significantly in Q4 2015 across large oil exporters including Canada (by
5.4%), Russia (2.2%), Indonesia (7.9%) and Saudi Arabia, reflecting falling oil prices and an
appreciating US dollar. In South Africa and Brazil, imports continued to contract (by 6.2% and 9.2%
respectively) to close to their lowest levels in six years. Imports also fell significantly in India (by 8.1%). In the United
States imports fell for the sixth straight quarter (by 2.7%), with exports also declining for the second consecutive quarter
(by 3.5%). In Mexico, exports and imports were down by 2.3% and 2.8%
respectively. Amongst G20 economies only China (up 0.3%) and Turkey
(3.3%) saw exports grow in Q4 2015. Imports also grew in both countries, by
1.0% and 4.3% respectively. Exports and imports by the European Union
(EU28) fell for a sixth consecutive quarter, by 1.0% and 1.4% respectively,
with exports falling in France (by 0.3%), Germany (2.3%) and the United
Kingdom (1.4%) while they remained unchanged in Italy. Imports picked up,
however, in France and the United Kingdom by 0.9% and 0.3% respectively.
For the year 2015 as a whole, G20 exports fell by 11.3% while imports
fell by 13.0%. Declines in both imports and exports were recorded in all
G20 economies in 2015. Saudi Arabia recorded the largest fall in exports
(oil, oil & oil) over the period while Russia recorded the largest fall in imports,
in both cases by more than 35%.).

According to preliminary data, the volume of world trade grew by
1.1% in February following a 1.1% drop in January. Export volume
growth was positive in both advanced economies and emerging
economies, while strong import volume growth in advanced
economies offset a decline in emerging economies. The strong performance of advanced economies’ imports was
the result of positive turnarounds in the United States and the Euro Area. Because of the volatility of monthly
trade figures, momentum is the preferred measure of trade growth. Trade momentum was 0.6% in February (nonannualized), up from 0.5% in January. Momentum was higher in emerging economies than it was in advanced
economies, both at the import and the export side. Export momentum in emerging Asia turned positive after three
consecutive monthly declines. World industrial production declined 0.5% in February 2016, following a 0.6% increase in
January. Production contracted in advanced
economies, while it expanded in emerging
economies. Production decreased in all major
advanced blocks, the contraction in Japan being
notably large. The positive turnaround in emerging
economies was due to a reversal in emerging Asia.
Global production momentum was 0.1% in February,
down from 0.2% in January. Loss of momentum in
Japan caused momentum in advanced economies to
become more negative, while it was positive and stable

The Port of Hamburg in 2015 reported higher bulk cargo throughput and strong growth
in rail and inland waterway seaport-hinterland traffic, but a downturn in container
handling. In 2015, seaborne cargo throughput in the Port of Hamburg was 5.4% lower
at 137.8 million tons. In Hamburg as a universal port, growth in bulk cargo throughput
was maintained in 2015. In this segment,
total volume of 45.5 million tons
represented growth of 5.8% on the
previous year. 2015 container handling at
8.8 million TEU did not reach the previous year’s total, falling 9.3%. The
Port of Hamburg reports around 30% local container cargo as well as
growing seaport-hinterland container transport by rail, up by 2.8%, and
by inland waterway vessels, up by 27.5%. Downturn in seaborne
container throughput is primarily attributable to lower volumes handled
with China, Russia and Poland. In total, in 2015 something over 800,000
TEU fewer than in the previous year were handled for these especially
important trading partners in container traffic with the Port of Hamburg.
The Port of Rotterdam handled roughly the same volume of cargo in first quarter 2016 as in the
same period last year. An increase in the volume of, mainly, crude oil and oil products put-through
was offset by a more or less equivalent decrease in the volume of dry bulk and containers. Total
volume of cargo handled increased by 0.2%, to 116.9 million tonnes. Port of Rotterdam Authority
CEO Allard Castelein: “The port’s throughput grew by 4.9% in 2015. Our ambition is to match this
high throughput volume in the present year. So far we are on course – but we still have three
quarters to go.” In the liquid bulk market segment, the port handled higher volumes of crude oil (+2.0%; 26.0 million
tonnes), mineral oil products (+7.0%; 24.4 million tonnes) and other liquid bulk (+2.1%; 7.8 million tonnes). Low oil
prices resulted in substantial margins for the refineries, increased refining activity and strong trade in oil products. In the
other liquid bulk segment, Rotterdam saw a slight decrease in the volume of MTBE (a petrol additive) put through the
port, and a modest increase in biodiesel volumes. The only segment that saw considerable decline in throughput
volumes was LNG (-72.6%; 0.1 million tonnes). A substantially lower volume of LNG was re-exported to non-EU
destinations in the first quarter. LNG throughput volumes are expected to recover over the remainder of 2016. All in all,
throughput of liquid bulk rose by 3.3% to 58.4 million tonnes. Key cargo types within the dry bulk category are iron ore &
scrap metal and coal. There was a sizeable decrease in the throughput of
iron ore & scrap metal (-6.1%; 7.8 million tonnes). The main cause of this
decline was the large quantity of Chinese steel dumped on the European
market. Coal put through Rotterdam increased slightly (+2.9%; 7.9 million
tonnes). A decrease in the import of raw materials for the metal industry and
the construction sector, combined with a decrease in the export of fly ash,
resulted in lower throughput volumes for other dry bulk (-18.6%; 2.7 million
tonnes). There was a slight increase in the volume of agri-bulk handled
(+1.2%; 2.5 million tonnes). All in all, throughput of dry bulk decreased by 4%
to 21.0 million tonnes. The volume of containers handled decreased by 3.1%,
to 31.0 million tonnes, and by 3.9% to 3.0 million TEU. The lack of growth in this sector can mainly be attributed to
unfavorable economic developments in China, Russia and Brazil. In addition, fewer empty containers were shipped to
foreign destinations – particularly to Asia (-14.5%) – partly as a result of the slowdown in Chinese exports. At the same
time, Rotterdam saw an increase in trade with the US, the UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.
DP World Limited handled 61.7 million TEU across its global portfolio of container
terminals during 2015, with gross container volumes growing by 3.0% on reported basis
and 2.4% on a like-for-like basis. Growth in 2015 was largely driven by European and UAE
terminals. The portfolio benefited from the ramp-up in London Gateway and the UAE
handled a record 15.6 million TEUs, representing like-for-like growth of 2.3% for the year.
Utilization at Jebel Ali remains high at approx. 90% despite softer volumes in Q42015.
Market conditions in the second half 2015 were challenging, with like-for-like gross
throughput growth flat year-on-year in Q4 2015. At a consolidated level, DP World’s
terminals handled 29.1 million TEU during 2015, a 2.7% improvement on a reported basis.
Consolidated like-for-like volumes grew by 1.7% for the year.

Total cumulative container throughput through end March at the Port of
Hong Kong was 4,410 thousand TEU, down 10.38% year-on-year for the
same 2016 period. 2015’s container throughput was 20,073 thousand TEU,
down 9.7% from the previous year. Although figures are not available for total
seaborne & river trade for March, total seaborne & river cargo throughput
for 2015 was down 13.8% from 297,737,000 tonnes in 2014 and January
2016’s was down 23.8% from January 2015. A statistic always of interest to local harbor tug operators are vessel
arrivals which in February were cumulative for this year at 14,154. This is down 0.2% over the same period last year.
The Port of Singapore put in a mixed performance in 2015, amidst weak global economic
conditions and structural changes in the maritime industry. Advance estimates show that vessel
arrival tonnage grew 5.6%, while Singapore remained the world’s top bunkering port with a 6.5%
increase in volume of bunkers sold. Container throughput and cargo throughput contracted by
8.7% to 30.9 million TEUs and 1.1% to 574.9 million tonnes respectively. This was largely caused by
the overall slump in Asia-Europe volumes, compounded by developments such as the rebalancing of
volumes across alliances agreements, and an increase in direct sailings due to lower bunker prices.
A total 517,789 TEUs at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey were
handled in March 2016, off 11.8% over the same period last year, but an
improvement over January and February 2016. The March year-to-date total of
1,496,353 was up 2% over last year. Annual cargo volumes at the Port of New
York and New Jersey in 2015 beat the previous record by more than 10%. The
port handled 6,371,720 TEUs in 2015, an increase of 10.4% over the previous
record set in 2014. Total cargo in tonnage handled at the port was 73,608 thousand
tonnes in 2015, up 1.9% over 2014, while the total dollar value declined 1.6%. The
greatest decline in both cargo tonnage and total dollar value was in exports, down
31.7% and 54.3% respectively. By far the top 2015 trading partner in total volume of imports and exports for the port
was China at 29.3%, followed by India at 6.6% and Germany at 5.3%...... Total number of containers handled at the
Port of Long Beach, California were down 26.2% in March to 464,855 TEUs from 630,084
for the same period in 2015. Fiscal year-to-date (October – September) 2016 containers
were up 6.1% to 3,398,584 TEUs. The total inbound / outbound tonnage in March 2016 was
10,667,860mt, down 25.95% from March 2015, with liquids down 23.06%, dry bulk down
20.03%, containerized down 27.21% and breakbulk down 4.26%. Calendar year-to-date
figures were up 2.02% to 36,501,957mt for all cargoes during the same period in 2015. Port of Long Beach CEO Jon
Slangerup: “The uneven global economy, industry financial pressures, weak U.S. export demand and the introduction
of mega-sized container vessels to West Coast ports have created dynamic conditions for the maritime industry that will
continue to play out over the coming year. Nevertheless, our value proposition, being the fastest and most costeffective supply route from Asia to America’s consumer markets, continues to define Long Beach and
Southern California as the multimodal gateway of choice for our shipping customers.” …… The Port of
Los Angeles handled 612,863 TEUs in March 2016, seeing total volumes decrease 22.6% from
791,863 TEU in March 2015. Total calendar year to-date figures are up 11.35% to 2,030,983 TEUs
from 1,823,954 in the first three months of 2015, recording its busiest first quarter in the port’s 109-year
history. The Port moved a total of 8,160,457 TEUs in 2015, a decline of 2.1% compared to 2014……
Northwest Seaport Alliance international container volumes through the Puget Sound rebounded strongly in 2015
with The Northwest Seaport Alliance handling more than 3.5 million TEUs, an increase of 4%. Container volumes grew
despite the slowing Chinese economy and volume declines earlier in the year during
West Coast labor negotiations. The ports of Seattle and Tacoma formed The Northwest
Seaport Alliance to strengthen the Puget Sound gateway—the third largest in North
America—and create more economic opportunities. Auto imports and container volumes
posted gains through first quarter 2016. Building off last year’s record-breaking volumes, March marked the highest
volume of auto imports in more than a decade. The 21,085 units beat the previous record from December 2002.
Meanwhile, international containers improved 4% through the first three months of the year, largely on strength of
January and February volumes. Full containerized exports were up 18% year to date to 233,102 TEUs, while imports
were flat at 311,011 TEUs. When compared to March 2015, March 2016’s international container volumes were down
nearly 22%. March 2015 volumes were particularly robust as the alliance’s harbors quickly cleared the backlog built up
during labor contract negotiations after an agreement was reached in February 2015. March 2016 container volumes
were also impacted by Lunar New Year, when factories in Asia close for one to two weeks.

April 2016 reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts suggest that
national economic activity continued to expand in late February and March,
though the pace of growth varied across Districts. Most said that economic
growth was modest to moderate range and expected growth would remain in
that range going forward. Consumer spending increased modestly. Labor
market conditions continued to strengthen and business spending generally expanded across most Districts.
Manufacturing activity increased in most Districts. Construction and real estate activity also expanded. Low prices
weighed on energy and mining output as well as prospects for agricultural producers. Overall, prices increased
modestly across the majority of Districts, and input cost pressures continued to ease. Consumer spending in most
Districts increased modestly late February and March, and retailers generally remained optimistic about the outlook for
growth over the remainder of the year. However, contacts in the Chicago District again expressed disappointment that
low gas prices and improving labor markets were not providing more of a boost to consumer spending. Most Districts
again reported job gains, with only Cleveland indicating a decline in overall employment. Energy companies continued
to reduce their workforces, with reports of layoffs coming from Cleveland, Atlanta, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Dallas.
Manufacturing increased in most Districts. The overall pace of growth was moderate in Richmond and Chicago, while
more modest in Philadelphia, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Only Cleveland and Kansas City reported declines. There
also were solid gains in construction materials (Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Chicago). Demand for steel changed little
in Cleveland and Chicago, but declined in Kansas City. Several Districts reported weak overall demand for heavy
machinery, with Chicago and Minneapolis noting softer demand for agricultural and mining machinery than for
construction machinery. Suppliers for the oil and gas industry consistently reported weak demand (Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis, and Dallas), and some contacts in Chicago and Dallas indicated they were
trying to adjust product offerings toward other industries. Expectations for future manufacturing growth were mixed. In
general, contacts' outlooks were optimistic in Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Richmond, but pessimistic in
Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Dallas. Construction and real estate activity generally expanded, and Districts generally
maintained a positive outlook for the rest of the year. Most reporting on nonresidential construction said demand
increased. Contacts in Boston said the education, health care, hospitality, retail, and office sectors contributed to its
recent construction boom.
Agricultural conditions were mixed. Contacts in Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Dallas reported poor
prospects for agricultural profitability because product prices remained low and input costs remained relatively high.
However, some relief was reported in input costs since the previous period, with lower costs for diesel, fertilizer, and
farmland rents. That said, costs for chemicals went up and seed costs remained elevated.
Natural resource reports ranged from mixed to negative. Oil and gas production continued to fall in Atlanta, Kansas
City, and Dallas, though some Districts reported signs that the declines were close to an end. Contacts in Cleveland
and Atlanta noted that natural gas prices were under pressure because the warm winter left inventories elevated.
Cleveland and Dallas reported persistently low energy prices were hurting the financial positions of energy firms. The
number of rigs operating in Marcellus and Utica Shales in the Fourth District – Cleveland, was little changed after
declining precipitously over the past year. Nonetheless, regional natural gas output remains at historic highs. Reduced
demand owing in part to the unusually warm winter boosted inventories and put further downward pressure on wellhead
prices. Because of the sharp drop in wellhead prices, asset values are being marked down, a situation which affects
credit to the industry. The end result could be additional bankruptcies. Hedges at higher prices began rolling off at the
start of 2016, exposing natural gas producers to lower prices.
Significant layoffs in the upstream segment continued. Reports indicate
that investment in pipeline and mid-stream projects moved forward, but
at a slower pace. Not much change is expected across the sector
during 2016. Kansas City – Tenth District energy activity continued to decline moderately, and expectations remained
negative. The number of active oil and gas drilling rigs declined at a similar pace as the last survey period. Most
respondents expected domestic oil production to decline this year, as a result of low rig counts and reduced capital
spending. The average oil price needed to be profitable continued to fall among local producers but remained modestly
higher than their year-end price outlook. Most producers also reported concerns about high global oil inventories and
the potential negative effects on prices. In the natural gas market, high inventory levels and continued strong production
th
weighed on prices. Demand for oilfield services in the 11 District – Dallas, remained depressed as drilling continued to
decline. The financial positions of many firms continued to deteriorate despite slightly higher prices in March,
particularly smaller firms. Further cuts to capital expenditures have become less likely, as sentiment grew that the
energy sector may have found a bottom. Outlooks remained somber for 2016, with little hope for growth before 2017.

Conditions in the energy sector remained weak in the Ninth District - Minneapolis, while mining
activity stabilized. The number of active drilling rigs as of late March in the District fell further from a
month earlier. Coal shipments on regional railroads were down from a year ago. A currently idle
iron mine in Minnesota will resume production in May; another idled mine announced plans to start
back up later this year, but did not give a date. A mine in Montana announced plans to increase
production and add up to 100 new workers. In contrast, two Wisconsin mines that produce sand for
hydraulic fracturing announced that they were laying off workers. Coal output declined in Richmond
and St. Louis. In contrast, some idled iron mines in Minneapolis reported plans to reopen soon.
San Francisco contacts reported solid domestic timber demand but those in Minneapolis indicated
that the warm winter slowed logging activity. Port activity in the Fifth District – Richmond, increased
since the previous report. In fact, some ports indicated that import volume growth set records in February before
moderating somewhat in March. Automobile imports remained strong and container shipments increased moderately.
At one port, strong import growth was driven by consumer goods, such as furniture, toys, and apparel. Port officials
said that exports had risen modestly, and one source noted an increase in inquiries regarding exporting. Outbound
shipments of agricultural and forest products, including logs, lumber, wood pulp, and paper were stronger.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, reported that the value of the goods and services
produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in
production, adjusted for price changes – increased at an annual rate of 0.5% in first
quarter 2016, down from 1.4% in fourth quarter 2015. The Bureau emphasized that the
th
first-quarter advance estimate released on 28 April is based on incomplete source data
and subject to further revision. The "second" estimate for the first quarter, based on more complete data, will be
th
released on 27 May. The increase in real GDP in the first quarter reflected positive contributions from personal
consumption expenditures (PCE), residential fixed investment, and state and local government spending that were
partly offset by negative contributions from nonresidential fixed investment, private inventory investment, exports,
and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased. The
deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter reflected a larger decrease in nonresidential fixed investment, a
deceleration in PCE, a downturn in federal government spending, an upturn in imports, and larger decreases in
private inventory investment and in exports that were partly offset by an upturn in state and local government
spending and an acceleration in residential fixed investment. Real gross
domestic purchases - purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services
wherever produced - increased 0.9% in the first quarter, down from an
increase of 1.5% in the fourth. The price index for gross domestic purchases,
which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, increased 0.3% in the first
quarter, compared with an increase of 0.4% in the fourth. Excluding food and
energy, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 1.4%,
compared with an increase of 1.0%. Exports of goods (excluding services)
increased $1.8 billion to $118.6 billion in February. Consumer goods increased
$1.1 billion. Imports of goods increased $2.7 billion to $183.3 billion. Consumer
goods increased $3.6 billion. Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines
decreased $1.5 billion. Passenger cars decreased $1.3 billion.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) research has shown a clear
relationship between economic cycles and the Freight and Passenger
Transportation Services Indexes. The Freight Transportation Services Index
(TSI) published by the BTS measures the month-to-month changes in
freight shipments by mode of transportation in tons and ton-miles
combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight
transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland
waterways, pipelines and air
freight. The February Freight TSI
decrease of 0.7% from January was due to substantial declines in
trucking and pipeline, and a smaller decrease in rail intermodal. Air
freight, water, and rail carloads all increased. The TSI decrease
paralleled a drop in the Federal Reserve Board Industrial Production
index which declined by 0.5% in February, with particular declines in
mining (1.4%) and utilities (4.0%). The ISM Manufacturing Index, though
it increased, was again below 50, indicating declining manufacturing
activity. The February Freight TSI decline of 0.7% from January left the
index below its October 2015 level and below all months from July 2015
to October 2015. The index remains high compared to earlier
years with an increase of 29.0% since the low of 94.7 in April
2009. Freight shipments in February 2016 (122.2) were 29.0%
higher than the recent low in April 2009 during the recession
(94.7). The February 2016 level was 1.2% below the historic
peak of November 2014 (123.7). Freight shipments measured
were up 0.6% in February compared to end 2015. Freight
shipments are up 12.0% in the five years from the postrecession level of February 2011 and are up 9.6% in the 10
years from February 2006.
All five major transportation modes – truck, rail, pipeline, vessel and air – carried
less U.S. freight by value with North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
partners Canada and Mexico in January 2016 than in January 2015. The total value
of cross-border freight carried on all modes fell 7.7% from 2015 to $82.4 billion in
current dollars, according to the TransBorder Freight Data. The value of
commodities moving by truck declined 1.5%, the smallest decrease from 2015 to
2016 of any mode. The value of freight on other modes also declined: vessel 37.3%;
pipeline 32.7%; air 12.8%; and rail 3.5% (Table right). A drop in the price of crude oil
in 2015 played a key role in the large declines in the dollar value of goods
shipped by vessel and pipeline. Crude oil comprises a large share of the commodities carried by these modes.
Trucks carried 66.5% of U.S.-NAFTA freight and continued to be the most heavily utilized mode for moving goods to
and from both U.S.-NAFTA partners. Trucks accounted for $28.4 billion of the $44.6 billion of imports (63.7%) and
$26.4 billion of the $37.9 billion of exports (69.7%). Rail remained the second largest mode by value, moving 15.2%
of all U.S.-NAFTA freight, followed by vessel, 5.3%; pipeline, 4.8%; and air, 3.7%. The surface transportation modes
of truck, rail and pipeline carried 86.4% of the total value of U.S.-NAFTA freight flows. From January 2015 to January
2016, the value of U.S.-Canada freight flows fell 12.7% to $42.0 billion as all modes of transportation carried a lower
value of U.S.-Canada freight than a year earlier. Lower crude oil prices contributed to a year-over-year decrease in
the value of freight moved between the U.S. and Canada. Crude oil is a large share of freight carried by vessel
and pipeline, which were down 42.5% and 34.2% respectively year-over-year.

According to the Cass Freight Index Report, freight shipment
volumes remain below 2015 levels. Freight shipments slowed to only
a 1.4% rise in March, following an 8.3% jump in February. Expenditures
for freight declined 1.0% in March—reversing a portion of the 6.3%
increase in February. Manufacturing and building construction have
been on an upward trend and have just started showing up in the
supply chain. The March freight shipments index still remains 1.5%
below the same month a year ago. March shipments have grown at a slower pace than each February for the last
couple of years, so this is not unexpected. The March 2016 index is still 6.2% lower than the December 2015 index,
indicating that the plummet in January is going to take quite some time to dig out of. On an average basis, the first
quarter of 2016 was 3.0% lower than the same period in 2015. The
Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) PMI index continued to
move up in March, posting a 4.6% rise. Notably, the index has just
passed back over the 50 index level, indicating growth, for the first
time since August 2015. This is the third consecutive month of growth
and is a sign that manufacturing may finally be recovering from its
slump. High inventories are still a big concern and will moderate
future growth. Both the New Orders and the Order Backlog subindexes increased, 13.2% and 5.2% respectively. This should
translate to higher production in April. One cautionary indicator
though: the manufacturing sector cut 29,000 jobs in March. Railroad
shipments picked up remarkably in March with a 22.2% rise in
carloads and a 19.2% rise in intermodal shipments. These follow
double digit drops in February. March figures for truck tonnage are
not yet available. Expect sluggish but sustained growth in freight.
Freight payments declined 1.0% in March on the heels of a strong 6.3%
growth in February. The decline is a departure from the trend seen in recent
years. Capacity was not an issue for any of the modes in most places, so
spot prices were flat or down. Railroads instituted price increases often in
2015 - matching the need for their services - but have been slower to do so
in 2016. Tariff rates for some goods are scheduled to increase on April 15.
Truck rate changes have been extremely moderate and most shippers are
not expecting much of a change in the first half of 2016. Slow economic
growth is not a good environment for rate increases. After falling to the
lowest levels in recent history in February, diesel prices are creeping back
up, rising 4.6% in March. By some measures the economy appears to be
in good shape. March employment figures were strong, especially for
construction, which gained 37,000 jobs, and retail, which gained 48,000.
Average hourly wages grew by 7
cents an hour, housing starts and
home sales had moderate growth, inflation is low, and February exports were
up 1.5%. On the downside, consumer spending has been sluggish;
business investment has been weak; unemployment went from 4.9 to
5.0% in March; new building permits declined in April; the dollar remains
robust in world markets (hurting our export prices); and, finally, the
Federal Reserve is divided on the next course of action. At their March
meeting, the Fed chose not to raise the interest rate, but they have said they
are planning two increases this year, timing TBD. Global economic
conditions are still weak and fragile in some economies, adding a level of
uncertainty to the U.S. economy. 2016 is turning out to be difficult to
predict. Anecdotally, however, many players in the supply chain remain
cautiously optimistic for the rest of the year.

Since demand for rail service arises as a result of demand elsewhere in the economy for the
products that railroads haul, rail traffic is a useful gauge of broader economic activity, both for
specific industries and for the economy as a whole. According to the Association of American
Railroads (AAR)’s Weekly Rail Traffic, carload traffic in April 2016 was down 16.1% to a total of
944,339 carloads from April 2015. U.S.
railroads also originated 1,028,460
containers and trailers in April 2016,
down 7.5% or 83,729 units from the same month last
year. For April 2016, combined U.S. carload and
intermodal originations were 1,972,829, down 11.8% or
264,327 carloads and intermodal units from April 2015.
In April 2016, five of the 20 carload commodity
categories tracked by the AAR each month saw carload
gains compared with April 2015. These included:
miscellaneous carloads, up 25% or 4,743 carloads;
coke, up 16.1% or 2.354 carloads; and chemicals, up
1.5% or 1,909 carloads. Commodities that saw declines
in April 2016 from April 2015 included: coal, down
39.7% or 160,624 carloads; petroleum and petroleum products, down 25.1% or 15,122 carloads; and grain mill
products, down 7.1% or 2,760 carloads. Excluding coal, carloads were down 2.8% or 19,974 carloads from April
2015. Total U.S. carload traffic for the first 17 weeks of 2016 was
4,087,620 carloads, down 14.3% or 83,729 carloads, while
intermodal containers and trailers were 4,368,132 units, down 0.8%
or 33,771 containers and trailers when compared to the same
period in 2015. For the first four months of 2016, total rail traffic
volume in the United States was 8,455,752 carloads and intermodal
units, down 7.8% or 715,985 carloads and intermodal units from
the same point last year. "Rail coal traffic continues to suffer due to
low natural gas prices and high coal stockpiles at power plants.
Coal accounted for just 26% of non-intermodal rail traffic for U.S.
railroads in April 2016, down from 36% in April 2015 and 45% as
recently as late 2011," said AAR Senior VP of Policy and
Economics John T. Gray. "We expect non-coal carloads to
strengthen when the economy gets stronger, and we think
intermodal weakness in April is probably at least partly a function of
high business inventories that need to be drawn down before new
orders, and thus new shipments, are made."
Trucking also serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, representing 68.8% of tonnage carried
by all modes of domestic freight transportation, including manufactured and retail goods. American
Trucking Association’s advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index decreased
4.5% in March, following a 7.2% surge during February and a 1.4% decline in January. In March, the
index equaled 137.6 (2000=100), down from 144 in February. February’s level is an all-time high.
Compared with March 2015, the SA index was up 2.2%, which was down from February’s 8.6% year-over-year gain.
Year-to-date, compared with the same period in 2015, tonnage was up 3.9%. The not seasonally adjusted index, which
represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 142.1 in
March, which was 10.2% above the previous month (129). “As expected, tonnage came back to earth in March from
the jump in February,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “These
things tend to correct, and March took back more than half of the
surprisingly large gain in February. The freight economy continues to be
mixed, with housing and consumer spending generally giving support to
tonnage, while new fracking activity and factory output being drags,” he
said. “In addition, freight volumes are softer than the overall economy
because of the current inventory overhang throughout the supply
chain.” The decrease is the largest monthly contraction for the index
since September 2012 (-5.3%). ATA calculates the tonnage index based
on surveys from its membership and has been doing so since the 1970s.

U.S.-flag Great Lakes freighters (lakers) moved 1,747,111 tons of cargo in March, more than
double their total of a year ago. The March float was also on pace with the month’s 5 year
average. Iron ore cargoes totaled 1,362,768
tons, again more than double the volume of a
year ago. Coal cargoes totaled 133,155 tons,
basically a repeat of a year ago. Limestone
cargoes dipped slightly to 68,275 tons, but shipments of cement
more than tripled the volume of a year ago, rising to 182,913
tons. Year-to-date U.S.-flag carriage stands at 4,068,869 tons, an
increase of 8% compared to the same point in 2015. Iron ore
cargoes are up 16%, but coal cargo have dipped 56%. Limestone
cargoes have increased 26% and cement shipments are up 71%.
Dumping of foreign steel into the U.S. market severely impacted cargo movement during the final months of 2015. Six
of the most efficient vessels in the fleet were withdrawn from service in November because of steel dumping. U.S.-flag
vessel operators on the Great Lakes committed more than $110 million to maintain and modernize their vessels in
2016. Maintenance and repair work typical of the winter lay-up period cost approx. $60 million. Projects that involve
repowering vessels or installing exhaust gas scrubbers will cost upwards of $50 million. Great Lakes shipping is a 24/7
business. The vessels stop only long enough to load or discharge cargo. As a result, the winter lay-up is the prime time
to tune up the vessels for the coming campaign. Massive power plants, some capable of generating nearly 20,000HP,
are carefully serviced. Conveyor systems, key to self-unloading vessels, will be inspected and worn belts replaced.
Several vessels will be dry-docked as required by law to allow U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping
representatives to inspect the hull below the waterline.
nd
The 2016 shipping season on the Lakes began on 2 March 2016 when Interlake
Steamship’s tug/barge unit “Dorothy Ann” / “Pathfinder” loaded 14,600 tons of iron ore
at Cleveland Bulk Terminal for delivery to ArcelorMittal Cleveland at the end of the
navigable portion of the Cuyahoga River. That much ore will keep the mill in operation
for about one day. The vessel could have delivered another 4,600 tons, but the
Cuyahoga River is notorious for silting up over the winter, and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers could not dredge until mid-May. “Pathfinder” began her career as the “J.L.
Mauthe”, a vessel designed for Pittsburgh Steamship Company. She entered service on
April 2nd, 1953 and fell into Interlake Steamship Company’s typical iron ore trade
between Duluth-Superior and various lower lake ports. By the early 1980s, the iron ore
trade was less favorable to such vessels. While the “Mauthe” continued to carry occasional loads of ore, she found
herself more regularly involved in the grain trade, although that grain trade was not enough to sustain the vessel's
activity much longer. As the 1980s and early 1990s progressed, fewer vessels were being used in this trade. In 1993,
“J.L. Mauthe” laid up in Superior. A developing trend during the early 1990s was conversion of former straight-deck bulk
carriers and some older, small self-unloaders to barges, with powerful tugs fitted into a stern notch of the vessel. In
1996, conversion plans were completed, and in December 1996, “J.L. Mauthe” departed Duluth-Superior for a lateseason trip to Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Work was underway on the vessel during most of 1997,
and in March, 1998, the resulting self-unloading barge was completed with a new name, reviving one from Interlake's
past – “Pathfinder”. Barge was married up with the 124’ x 44’, 7,200BHP azimuthing tug “Dorothy Ann” with an elevated
pilothouse providing a 70’ height of eye, designed by Bob Hill of Ocean Tug & Barge Engineering. The tug was fitted
with a Great Lakes-specific articulated pin-type connection system. (Credit:
www.boatnerd.com)......The next vessel underway was Lafarge’s U.S. flag cement
carrier “G. L. Ostrander” / “Integrity”. The 14,000dwt, articulated, self-discharge
tug / barge unit departed Milwaukee to sail to Chicago, and load 3,300 tons of
slag for delivery to Alpena, Michigan, then loading 14,000 tons of cement for
Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland. Marcon brokered the sale of the 7,200HP, 149’ x
40’ x 22’ depth tug “G. L. Ostrander” (ex-Jacklyn M, Robert L. Torres, Andrew
Martin) to Lafarge as sole broker in 1995. Tug was originally built by Halter
Marine for Andrew Martin Sea Service as a North Sea anchor handling tug and
powered by twin Stork Werkspoor diesels. She was later repowered with CAT
3608TAs and finally in 2001 with her present EMD 20-645E7Bs.

Two U.S. flag steamships, the 26,011mtdw “John G. Munson” (photo left) and the
24,930mtdw “Herbert C. Jackson” (photo lower right), will be repowered with state-ofthe-art diesel engines. Both vessels have been in service on the Lakes since the
1950s. The Lakes freshwater environment allows vessel operators to continually
reinvest in their vessels rather than bear the expense of new builds. A U.S. Maritime
Administration report noted that repowering a Great Lakes freighter typically
achieves 80% of the efficiencies of a new build at 20% of the cost. In addition to
these repowerings, “James R. Barker” and “Lee A. Tregurtha” will be fitted with
exhaust gas scrubbers. The major shipyards on the Lakes are located in Sturgeon
Bay, Superior and Marinette, Wisconsin; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Toledo, Ohio.
Smaller “top-side” repair operations are located in Cleveland, Ohio; Escanaba,
Michigan; Buffalo, New York; and several cities in Michigan. The industry’s annual
payroll for its 2,700 employees approaches $125 million and it is estimated that a
wintering vessel generates an additional $800,000 in economic activity in the
community in which it is moored. Lake Carriers’ Association represents 15
American companies operating 56 U.S.-flag vessels on the Great Lakes carrying
raw materials that drive the nation’s economy: iron ore and fluxstone for the steel
industry, aggregate and cement for the construction industry, coal for power
generation, as well as salt, sand and grain. Collectively, these vessels can
transport more than 100 million tons of cargo per year.
For the year 2015, Canada’s Algoma Central Corporation’s consolidated revenues were Can$ 413.5
million compared to Can$ 473.4 million in 2014. Fuel costs, which are largely passed on to
customers through freight rates, declined significantly during the year and approx. Can $38 million of
the decrease in revenue is a direct result of the pass-through effect of decreased fuel costs. The
balance of the decrease in revenues results from a drop in rates earned due to stiff competition in
the domestic dry-bulk business and to a drop in volumes carried in Algoma’s product tanker and
ocean dry-bulk business units. After business conditions softened noticeably in the second half of
2015, Algoma made the difficult decision to retire five domestic dry-bulk vessels and a product tanker that had reached
the end of its economic life. Algoma’s decision to retire the dry-bulk vessels
reflects the view that the current domestic market capacity exceeds
customer demand and certain of their older vessels are no longer
economic to operate in these market conditions. As a result of taking these
vessels out of service Algoma Central has accelerated depreciation on them
and recorded an additional depreciation charge in the domestic dry-bulk
segment in the fourth quarter of $3.3 million. The 730’ self-unloading lake
th
freighter “Algomarine” (ex-Lake Manitoba) departed on 28 April with its final
load of salt. Once in Montreal, the 26,220mtdw ship will be towed overseas
and scrapped in Turkey. Two more bulk ships will be made idle when seven
new, more fuel-efficient vessels are delivered by 2017 and 2018.
St. Lawrence Seaway total traffic in 2015 was 36,250
thousand tonnes, down 9.12% from 2014 and the lowest
total tonnage since 2009’s 30,708 thousand tonnes and
the second lowest since 1996 which is the earliest
tonnage figures I currently have on-hand. All of the
major commodity groups were down with the
exception of iron ore, which was up 4.7%. The worst
performer naturally was coal, with shipments off 40.61%,
followed by general cargo at 15.34%. Total transits
were at 3,781 down 3.96% the previous year and like
the tonnage figures, the lowest number in the last 9
years and second lowest in at least the last 20 years.
2016’s total tonnages and transits are expected to
decline further.

Under U.S. law, vessel operators must report domestic waterborne
commercial movements to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. March
2016’s (bold red line) 47.4 million short tons of all commodities carried
on internal U.S. Waterways was up both over February’s tonnage and
March 2015, but February traditionally is a low month and March 2015’s
44.5 tons was the lowest tonnage recorded for that month in the last five
years. 13.5 million tons of
petroleum were carried, the
lowest tonnage since March
2013’s 13.2 million tons. The
4.9 million tons of chemicals
moved in March 2016 were up
22.5% over February which was the highest tonnage in the last five years.
Coal & coke gained a little over February and for the month were better than
2015, but still off 4% when you compare the January – March cumulative
tonnage. 6.01 million short tons of Farm & Food Products were carried on
internal U.S. Waterways in March.
U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration announced the availability of $5 million in Federal funds
to expand Marine Highway service by creating new or expanding existing services along designated Marine Highway
routes. Marine Highway projects provide new modal choices to shippers of cargo, reduces transportation costs, and
provide public benefits including reduced air emissions, reduced road maintenance costs, and improved safety and
resiliency. A current project already funded is the Illinois Intrastate Shuttle project, aiming to shift about 5,500
containers in its first year of operation to reduce the congestion of north-south interstate 55 to the Mississippi River by
providing soybean and grain shippers a new routing option.
For the week ending April 30, barge grain movements totaled
885,648 tons, 11% higher than the previous week, and up 4%
from the same period last year. 573 grain barges moved down
river, up 12%; 598 grain barges were unloaded in New Orleans,
down 13% from the previous week. For the week ending April
28, 36 ocean-going grain vessels were loaded in the Gulf, 24%
more than the same period last year. Fifty vessels are expected
to be loaded within the next 10 days, 2% more than the same
period last year. For the week ending April 28, the ocean freight
rate for shipping bulk grain from the Gulf to Japan was $25.00
per metric ton, unchanged from the previous week. The cost of shipping from the PNW to Japan was $15.00 per metric
rd
ton, unchanged from the previous week. For the week ending 3 May, the Illinois River Barge Freight Rate was 2%
lower than the previous week, 34% lower than one year ago and 26% lower than the three year average. Southbound
weekly barge freight rates were down over the same period last year, anywhere from 18 – 34% (Twin Cities – Lower
Illinois River) and down 18 – 27% from the three year average (Cairo / Memphis – St. Louis, Cincinnati & Lower Ohio).
th
Grain barge movements on the Mississippi River (Locks 27 – Granit City, Illinois) for the week ending 30 April were up
30% from last year and up 91% from the three year average.
Overall confidence levels in shipping fell to a record low in the three months to
February 2016, according to the latest “Shipping Confidence Survey” from international
accountant and shipping adviser Moore Stephens. The average confidence level
expressed by respondents in markets in they operate was 5.0 on a scale of 1 (low) to
10 (high). This compares to 5.6 recorded in November 2015, and the lowest rating in
the life of the survey, launched in May 2008 with a confidence rating of 6.8. All main
categories of respondent with exception of brokers (up from 4.6 to 5.1) recorded a fall
in confidence, most notably charterers (down from 5.5 to 3.9), which is the lowest rating
by any category of respondent in the history of the survey. Confidence on the part of
owners and managers was also down, from 5.7 to 4.8 and from 5.8 to 5.5 respectively.
Geographically, confidence was down in all major areas covered by the survey – in
Asia from 6.0 to 4.4, in Europe from 5.4 to 5.1, and in North America from 5.7 to 4.7.

A number of respondents continued to express concern about the level of over-tonnaging, with one pointing out,
“Newbuilding deliveries for 2016 will increase the total fleet by 10.5%, 7% of the current fleet is older than 20 years, and
cargo volumes in 2015 were just 4.5% higher than in 2014, so the expected available fleet per metric ton of dry cargo
available will be higher at the end of 2016 than it is now. As a result, there is no chance of
freight levels improving.” Another respondent said, “As long as shipowners operate based on
hope rather than on solid economics, there will always be booms and busts.” Particular
concern was expressed about the state of the dry bulk market, with one respondent
commenting, “No dry bulk business makes any remote sense. There are too many players,
too many operators, and too many vessels chasing too few cargoes. Most fixtures are
concluded merely to keep the banks happy in the belief that some tiny amount of cashflow is
coming in.” Elsewhere it was noted, “Dry bulk is simply at the bottom of the bottom, and
actually a little lower than that.” The need for accelerated demolition was also identified by a
number of respondents, one of whom noted, “Scrapping activity is far from sufficient to
compensate for incoming new tonnage.” Another observed, “Low scrapping prices provide little motivation for owners to
demolish ships,” although another still said, “Increased scrapping may help achieve equilibrium in the dry bulk sector
sooner rather than later.”
Falling oil prices were also a recurring topic in responses to the survey. One respondent said, “Global bulk oil
movements will be the key to conditions in the tanker market over the next 12 months. With storage facilities almost full
to capacity, there will be nowhere to stock additional supplies unless global economies pick up and oil production is
regulated.” Other respondents, meanwhile, saw some solace in soft oil prices, typified by the comment that, “The wet
markets stand a better chance of remaining profitable on the back of weak crude oil prices.” Elsewhere, however, there
was concern about the effect of falling oil prices on the offshore maritime sector, with one respondent noting, “There
are companies in the offshore shipping market which are under pressure and in potential danger of being shut down.”
The likelihood of respondents making a major
investment or significant development over the
next 12 months was down on the previous
survey, on a scale of 1 to 10, from 5.2 to 4.8,
which equals the figure recorded in February
2009 as the lowest in the life of the survey to
date. Owners, managers and brokers were less confident in this regard than they were three months ago, but the
confidence of charterers was up, from 4.8 to 5.1. One respondent said, “We are paying for excessive investments over
the past five years by speculative funds that would win an Oscar for the quickest/largest destruction of capital in the
shipping world.” Another said, “Weak demand is undermining confidence and investment.”
The number of respondents who expected finance costs to increase over the next 12 months was down by five
percentage points on last time, to 42%. The number of charterers anticipating dearer finance fell by 11 percentage
points to 56%, but the number of owners of like mind rose by one percentage point to 36%. The number of brokers
expecting a rise in finance costs,
meanwhile, fell from 75% to 36%. One
respondent said, “Millions of dollars are lost
each day by owners, and soon will be by
bankers. We are navigating very risky
waters.” Another noted, “There is no future
in this industry unless all sectors, including
financiers, take a more in-depth approach.”
Demand trends, competition and tonnage supply featured as the top three factors cited by respondents as
those likely to influence performance most significantly over the coming 12 months. Demand trends, which were
up by two percentage points to 26%, remained in first place, with competition (unchanged at 21%) in second place.
Tonnage supply, at 15%, occupied third place, one percentage point ahead of finance costs. Operating costs, up by six
percentage points to 12%, featured in fifth place, ahead of fuel costs and regulation at 4%, the latter representing a five
percentage-point drop on the figures for November 2015.

One respondent said, “Demand has let us down at the most inopportune moment possible,”
while another predicted, “Competition will remain fierce and only by aggressive marketing
will we achieve growth.” There was a 16 percentage-point increase in the number of
respondents anticipating lower freight rates in the tanker markets. But there was a small
increase in the number of respondents anticipating higher rates in the dry bulk and container
ship sectors, compared to the figures for November 2015. The net sentiment in the tanker
market was -23, but +22 and +8 in the dry bulk and container ship sectors respectively.
“Tankers should be able to benefit in 2016 from the lack of market consensus over oil price
movements, with longer-term decisions delayed as operators search for direction,” noted
one respondent, while another commented, “Dry bulk provides opportunities for investment
only for cash-rich owners who can afford to lose in the near term.” In the container ship
sector, meanwhile, the point was made that, “Sometimes it seems that container ship
operators are guided more by market share considerations than by sound economics,” and
yet another commented “Competition will remain fierce and only by aggressive marketing will
we achieve growth”.
Respondents were asked a stand-alone question concerning the level which they expected
crude oil prices to be at in 12 months’ time. 31% predicted that the price would be between
$30 and $39, while 26% put the figure at between $40 and $49. 10% of respondents thought
the price would fall between $20 and $29. One respondent said, “It would be no surprise if
crude tops $50 in the next 12 months, but anything significantly above that is unlikely.”
Shipping continued along its volatile course in the three months to end-February 2016, with the confidence of industry
participants reaching the lowest level since the survey was launched in May 2008. This is disappointing and
unsurprising in equal measure. When the Baltic Dry Index drops to an all-time low it is a real indication of the problems
facing the shipping industry. The BDI doesn’t lie, and any doubts about the extent of those problems would have been
dispelled over the past three months when reports of the fall in the BDI started to appear in the mass media, which
generally carries only bad news insofar as it impacts the shipping industry. Most recently, however, there is better
news, with the BDI starting to move upwards once more, gaining over 100 points within six weeks of plumbing the
depths. Moreover, there is a reasonable expectation that the approaching peak harvest season will bolster demand for
ships to carry grain and other commodities on international trade routes. This should boost the BDI further and, while
shrinking demand for raw materials from China will continue to have an effect, the world will always need shipping to
move its trade staples.
Overcapacity in any industry will inevitably lead to price-cutting and eventually to financial difficulties for the weakest,
the least well-prepared, or sometimes simply the unluckiest. Shipping has had its share of bankruptcies, foreclosures
and restructurings during the past few years, and it is likely that we will see more over the coming months, with
negotiations doubtless enlivened by the fact that shipping’s purse-strings today are often controlled by an intriguing mix
of private equity and traditional shipping finance. The simple answer to overcapacity is to reduce numbers, but ships
are too big to hide and disposing of excess units is more difficult in shipping than in most other industries, particularly
when there are record numbers of new cabs just waiting to come off the rank. Increased ship recycling is one obvious
answer, although current low scrap prices mean that fewer numbers of most tonnage types are being recycled.
In a climate of continuing overcapacity, increased regulation, ongoing political unrest and economic instability, the
shipping industry must find a way to supplement the bread-and-butter of its livelihood – the freight markets. Current
indications are not good. The tanker industry may still be reaping a somewhat perverse benefit from low crude oil
prices, but that window of opportunity may be starting to show the first signs of closing. Roughly a quarter of
respondents to the survey predicted that crude prices would be between $40 and $49 in 12 months’ time which, whilst it
would have bought you only just under half a barrel less than two years ago, is more in line with the current price level.
The dry bulk sector, meanwhile, looks especially troubled, with one respondent to the survey claiming that new historic
lows in dry bulk freight rates are being set every day. Reports suggest, however, that more and younger dry bulk
vessels are being recycled in spite of weak demolition rates, and contrary to the trend with other categories of tonnage.
In any industry, the price of a service or product must exceed the cost of providing that service or product in order to
achieve a return on investment. In shipping, that is simply not happening at present. Operating costs are going up while
freight rates generally are not even keeping pace. Nobody doubts the ability of shipping to bounce back. It has a
long history of doing just that. This time, the only question is when.

Bunker Prices Worldwide
For the second month in a row, there was an
upswing in prices in all but one of the areas that we
follow. Fujairah, which historically trails behind the
other regions as far as responding to changes in
supply and demand, declined a very minor 0.58%,
closing March 2016 at US$ 431.0 from February’s
US$ 433.50/mt and 41.16% below March 2015’s
closing price of US$ 732.50/mt. Houston posted a
modest 4.58% increase over February’s US$
338.50/mt, closing at US$ 354.00/mt but was down
39.18% from March 2015’s US$ 582.00/mt.
Rotterdam increased 10.37% over February’s US$
299.00/mt to US$ 330.00/mt shrinking the decrease
from one year ago to 36.23%. Singapore ended
March at US$ 350.00, 13.09% higher than
February’s US$ 309.50/mt, giving Singapore the
lowest decline in year-over-year price comparisions
at 33.71% against March 2015’s ending US$
528.00/mt. The question is though what will happen
th
now that the 17 April OPEC meeting in Qatar failed
to come to any agreement on freezing output. We
will have to wait for the next episode of this serial
drama in June – and may not have an anwser then.
In the United States, Kirby Corp.’s average 240 towboats operating 905 inland tank barges paid an average of US$
1.27/gallon during first quarter 2016, compared to $1.68/gal. during fourth quarter 2015 and $2.06/gal. during first
quarter 2015. Kirby's inland marine transportation business had utilization in the 90% to 95% range throughout the
quarter, but pricing pressure persisted on both contract renewals and in the spot market. There were also some signs
of improvement in the inland spot market in April. In the coastal marine transportation market, utilization during the
quarter was in the high-80% to low-90% range. Overall, coastal market supply and demand remained roughly in
balance throughout the quarter. Demand for inland barge transportation of petrochemicals and refined petroleum
th
products was stable, while demand for black oil was weaker on both a year over year and sequential basis. On 15
April, Kirby closed the previously announced acquisition of the inland tank barge fleet of Seacor Holdings Inc. for $88
million in cash and transfer to Seacor of a Florida-based ship docking tug. The asset purchase consisted of 27 inland
30,000 barrel tank barges and 13 inland towboats, plus one 30,000 barrel tank barge and one towboat currently under
construction.
Pacific OPIS contract average weekly prices of ultra-low sulphur
diesel also saw an increase for the second month in a row, with
increases mirroring the same range we saw in the MGO prices
st
above. For the week ending 1 April 2016 compared to the
th
week ending 26 February 2016, Seattle posted a 7.40%
increase to US$ 1.6253 per gallon from US$ 1.5133/gal.
Portland, OR rose 7.22% to US$ 1.6587/gal (US$ 1. 5470/gal).
San Francisco gained 9.94% to US$ 1.8512/gal from US$
1.6838/gal. “So. California Tugs”, comprised of Los Angeles /
Long Beach, increased the most at 12.07% to US$ 1.8469/gal
from US$ 1.6480/gal. El Segundo closed up 3.63% to US$
2.71/gal from US$ 2.615/gal. Hawaii rose 11.39% to US$
th
1.76/gal from US$ 1.58/gal. The week of April 8 saw prices
decrease from 1.45% in “So. California” to 6.25% in Hawaii,
except El Segundo which had a barely there increase of 0.18%.

According to the Paris-based, International Energy
Agency’s “Oil Market Report”, crude oil prices
rallied to a four-month high in mid-April as further
evidence emerged of accelerating declines in US
output, while market participants held out hope that
upcoming producer talks would agree to a deal to
help manage a still massive supply overhang. At the
time of writing, Brent was at $44.30/bbl and US WTI
was at $41.75/bbl. Growth in global oil demand will
ease to around 1.2mb/d in 2016, below 2015's
1.8mb/d expansion, as notable decelerations take
hold across China, the U.S. and much of Europe.
Preliminary 1Q16 data reveal this is already
occurring, with year-on-year growth down to
+1.2mb/d, after gains of +1.4mb/d in 4Q15 and
+2.3mb/d in 3Q15. OPEC crude oil production fell by
90kb/d in March to 32.47mb/d as ongoing outages in Nigeria, the UAE and Iraq more than offset a further increase
from Iran and higher flows from Angola. Supply from Saudi Arabia dipped in March but held near 10.2mb/d. Global oil
supplies sank by 0.3mb/d in March to 96.1mb/d, with annual gains shrinking to 0.2mb/d, from 1.7mb/d a month earlier
and 2.7mb/d in 2015. The outlook for non-OPEC production in 2016 is largely unchanged since last month's Report, at
57.0mb/d, 710kb/d less than the 2015 average. 1Q16 global refinery runs are estimated 79.3mb/d, 1.2mb/d up year on
year (y-o-y), in line with global demand growth. The forecast for 2Q16 throughput is at 79.7mb/d, up only 0.8mb/d y-o-y,
slower than forecast 1.1mb/d demand growth. All of the net growth in the first half of 2016 comes from non-OECD
refiners. Commercial stocks in the OECD built counter-seasonally by 7.3mb in February to end the month at 3 060mb.
Accordingly, the overhang of inventories against average levels widened to 387mb at end-month. Preliminary
information for March suggests OECD holdings rose further while volumes of crude held in floating storage increased.
Per the latest U.S. Energy Information Administration’s “Short-Term Energy Outlook”, Brent crude oil spot prices
increased by $6/bbl in March to a monthly average of $38/bbl. Declines in the U.S. rig count and some improvement in
global economic indicators contributed to higher oil prices in March. However, market expectations of ongoing growth in
global oil inventories contributed to falling prices
at the end of March, with Brent prices ending the
month below $37/bbl. With global oil inventory
builds expected to average 1.4 million b/d in
2016, oil prices are forecast to remain near
current levels. Forecast Brent prices average
$35/b in 2016. Global oil inventories are expected
to grow by 0.4 million b/d in 2017. Lower forecast
inventory builds contribute to a moderate price
recovery in 2017, with Brent prices forecast to
average $41/bbl. Forecast Brent prices reach an
average of $46/bbl in the fourth quarter of 2017,
as the global oil market is expected to be
relatively balanced late in 2017, with the potential
for significant inventory draws beyond the
forecast period. Forecast West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices average the same as Brent crude oil prices through the forecast period. The price
parity of WTI with Brent in the forecast period is based on the assumption of competition between the two crudes in the
U.S. Gulf Coast refinery market, as transportation differentials are similar to move the crudes from their respective
pricing points to that market. The expectation of continuing large inventory builds is a major source of uncertainty in the
price forecast, as the capacity of global oil storage to absorb such builds is unknown.
If global storage capacity becomes stressed, the cost of storage will rise to reflect more expensive marginal storage
options such as floating inventories on crude oil tankers. The higher storage costs would lower near-month crude oil
prices. Additional uncertainty stems from the pace of global economic growth and its contribution to oil demand growth
and from the responsiveness of oil producers to sustained low oil prices.
