Vessel oversupply in Singapore to finally ease off from FY14E

Vessels on order eased to 19% of fleet.

Maybank Kim Eng expects industry oversupply to ease off from FY14E onwards as vessel deliveries slow.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

Compared to a pre-crisis high of 58%, vessels on order have moderated to only 19% of existing fleet in the industry. Vessel oversupply is the primary cause of pain in the industry, so a moderation in future supply growth would be the best gauge of better industry prospects, in our view.

With the ongoing delivery of new vessels, we expect NOL to return a majority of its expiring charters over the next two years. This would bring its FY13E and FY14E net fleet growth to 2% and 5% YoY respectively, and lower the percentage of fleet chartered to 31% (Dec 2012: 59% chartered).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
