Small is beautiful… but size still matters for owners
The latest expert overview of the LPG market from addresses the key issues facing producers, shipping participants, investors and observers.
Rates for small gas carriers usually rise in winter but with an almost non-existent orderbook and plenty of elderly vessels approaching the end of their working lives, this sector is poised to enjoy sustained growth.
The LPG fleet bounced back in 2003 with a 3.4% increase in capacity following a fall in 2002 in which fleet capacity declined for the first time. However, if high scrapping levels continue 2004 could see another fall.
Freight rates, which also experienced a dismal 2002, recovered some ground in 2003 and owners should look to 2004 as the year that they get back on track.
