The Ice Class Shipping Market continues to develop apace. The focus of this report remains the ice class tanker market but in this 2007 edition we have broadened our analysis to document other sectors such as LNG, Containers and Bulk Carriers. In the tanker sector, the shipbuilding industry is in the process of delivering the results of huge investment and the fleet is growing strongly. For the other sectors – such as containers and bulkers – there has been more muted growth while in the LNG sector there is exciting potential but the current situation is characterised by project slippage and uncertainty. This report remains an essential reference tool for anyone already involved in the ice class market or contemplating entry to this fast growing sector.
The key areas we cover are:
- Tanker Demand: The report reviews developments and growth estimates in oil regions that will require ice class tonnage. Although growth in the Baltic is maturing, developments in North Russia remain exciting if uncertain while the projects at Sakhalin in East Russia continue to have massive potential.
- Tanker Fleet & Orderbook: The ice strengthened fleet has grown aggressively and with an orderbook of 226 vessels on order (of which 167 are ice class 1A/1AS), we expect this to continue. Based on the orderbook and MARPOL phase out, we provide a detailed fleet forecast. This report will provide the latest orderbook listings split by ice class notation besides a profile of the top builders and owners. Our report also includes a listing of ice class tankers in the format of Clarksons popular Tanker Register.
- LNG: Besides updating our review of ice breaker capacity, we include a chapter discussing the potential requirement for ice class LNG Tankers.
- Bulkers, Containerships: In this report we provide a statistical profile and commentary of the ice class fleet of other sectors.
This report is designed to respond to the question - “Where can I get this information in a hurry?” The Shipping Sector Reports are a series of reports available in hard copy by post or from the web (www.crsl.com). Each report deals with a specific ship type and comprises a “bundle” of information, intended to allow decision makers to absorb the facts as quickly as possible and develop their own additional research.
