Both ore and shipping market downturn CVRD sell boats slow pressure

Vale a few years ago, ambitious transport distance disadvantage to narrow the Australian mining enterprises to build their own fleet, now both ore market and shipping market slump, began selling boats decompression.

"First Financial Daily" reporter learned yesterday, the world's largest iron ore supplier CVRD agreed to sell $ 600,000,000 10 large ore carriers to Korea Polaris shipping companies, and then lease the vessel from the latter. These vessels per vessel of approximately 300,000 dwt, is all converted tankers purchased by CVRD in 2009 to 2010.

Besides converted tankers, the Vale still in the past few years, one after another to the shipbuilding enterprises in China and South Korea set a large ship orders, such as Rongsheng Heavy Industries signed a big contract, ordered 12 40-ton ore carriers , the total investment cost of $ 1.6 billion.

At that time, the Vale reason for making such a large ship, its main aim was to make up for Brazil to distance Australia to China to further disadvantage. In 2007, two extension ore freight shipped to China from Australia than Vale to low tens of dollars per ton, the tariff difference is close to the sale of iron ore prices.

Months of industry-wide losses this year of the Chinese steel industry, demand for iron ore has been damaged, information statistics show that in August, the month drop of 28 to 29 U.S. dollars / ton of imported ore. In the process of rapid decline, steel mills and traders although procurement, the majority of the demand side in a wait state, but "to buy up not to buy or psychological role.

This also directly affects the demand for dry bulk shipping mainly to transport ore, CVRD is also selling the ship of the important reasons. The company said that the sale of vessels due to rising production costs and ores and metals prices fell, The transaction is one of the portfolio continued to optimize asset allocation will help improve and further strengthen our balance sheet.

However, the industry analysis Vale to build the ship for the Chinese market so far can not be calling at Chinese ports, perhaps the Vale began to give up one of the fuse own vessel plan. Vale is still with the relevant departments calling at Chinese ports to negotiate, at the same time, the company also said that the company's current strategy is the use of the ship "can itself have its vessels owned by long-term charter contracts leaseback use. "

It is worth noting that Vale 12 40-ton ore carriers ordered from Rongsheng Heavy Industries, has already started to deliver, at the same time, part of the company funds the construction of ships, but also by the Bank of China (601988, stock it) and China Export-Import Bank loans, CVRD use policy changes on the ship will also directly affect the Rongsheng Heavy Industries and the bank side.
