N evertheless the scattered inform ation which is available a t the tim e o f the prep aratio n o f this review conhrm s th a t the e je c ts on w orld trad e o f the im p o rtan t developm ents w hich occurred a t the very end o f 1973 w ith regard to the supply, an d in particu lar to the rise in prices, o f oil have been apparent thro u g h o u t 1974. 4. O ver the long term international seaborne trade has followed a rising trend, b u t its short-term developm ent has been subject to huctuations. A lthough there is a wide range o f factors th a t m ay a№ ct th e course o f w orld trad e as a w hole, it appears th a t a few industrial countries exert a d om inant inhuence o n w orld trade and consequently on seaborne trade. F o r exam ple, the relatively high rates o f grow th in these countries in 1972, an d particularly in 1973, were accom panied by high rates o f grow th in the volum e o f international seaborne trade. Oonversely, th e repercussions o f the sharp increase in oil prices on the econom ies o f the m ain industrial countries in W estern E urope an d N o rth A m erica have altered the whole International trade picture, particulari)? as regards the trad e in oil, ^ r w hich dem and has slackened. 5. T he statistical inform ation relating to international seaborne trade in selected )?ears betw een 1965 and 1973 is found in table 1. Since trade d ata fo r 1974 are n o t yet available, only lim ited reference is m ade in this chapter to the particular changes in international seaborne trade which occurred in 1974 and this is done on the basis o f the general inform ation available. 6. A lthough over the long term the volum e o f international seaborne trade, as p a rt o f w orld trade, has followed a rising trend, the annual grow th rate has varied considerably. Even w hen the grow th rates ^re averaged over three-ye^r periods huctuations in the rate o f grow th rem ain.

The grow th o f non-tan k er tonnage slowed dow n to a rate o f 5.7 per cent in 1973-1974 as com pared w ith 8.6 p er cent and 10.4 per cent in the tw o preceding years. H ow ever, w ithin this group, bulk carrier (including com bined carrier) tonnage recorded a relatively high rate o f increase (10.3 per cent). This, however, represents a considerable slow-down in the grow th rate from the figures o f 16.1 per cent in 1972-1973 and 21 per cent in 1971-1972. 20. In 1973-1974, as in previous years, “other ships” showed relatively small increases. Nevertheless, the num ber and tennage capacity o f certain types o f vessels included in this category, e.g., small-size and specialized vessels, are increasing rapidly, although the relevant developm ents are n o t re jec ted in the aggregate tonnage figures discussed here. C ertain developm e سs are discussed further in section с below. 21. The tendency for the dw t/grt ratio to increase has persisted during 1974.

The com bined share o f flags o f developed m arketeconom y countries, countries o f southern E urope and open registry countries, in w orld tanker tonnage increased slightly from 1973 to 1974 while their share in bulk carrier tonnage declined by 0.9 per cent. As a t 1 July 1974, 92.6 per cent o f tan k er tonnage and 92.3 per cent o f ore and bulk carrier tonnage (including com bined carriers) was registered under the fiags o f these three groups o f countries. 25.

It can be observed from the table th a t the trends noticed in earlier years persisted in 1974. ﺀIt is reported that Japanese shipowners are increasin ? راة starting operations under the fla^s o f open registry eountries.

It is also reported that about 200 vessels aggregating 1.2 million tons are currently registered by shipowners in the fed eral Republic of Uermany under flags o f open registry countries. These ships are mainly in the size range o f 6,000 to 7,000 tons and are especially labour-intensive (Shipping and Trade News (Tokyo), 12 August 1974). ﺀIt has been reported that, in an attem pt to improve relations with the trade unions and to improve the negative image of the Uyprus fleet, a Uyprus Shipowners’ Association has been founded.

Trends in size c . Trends in types, size and age distributinn 1. Trends in types 37. The long-term tren d tow ards specialization o f tonnage has continued in the period 1973-1974. 38. Table 8 shows in m ore detail the trends in the com position o f the w orld m erchant fleet by different types o f vessels from 1973 to 1974, an d also in the period 197ه- 1974 مIt can be seen from the table th a t there continues to be diversiflcation o f w orld tonnage in response to a grow ing dem and fo r specialized tonnage in w orld trade, an d also in response to the necessity for carriers to seek versatility a n d /o r efficiency th ro ug h specialization an d ado p tio n o f technological advances. 39. It can also be seen from the table th a t higher rates o f expansion have been recorded in 1974 for vehicle carriers, barge carriers, chem ical carriers, com bined carriers, oil tankers, and ore an d b u lk carriers, in th a t order. Surprisingly enough, th e increase in liquefied gas carrier tonnage has been m oderate (6.1 per cent), while container ship tonnage increased by only 6.6 per cent as against a corresponding increase o f 36.9 per cent i^ 1973. T he com inuing decline in the w orld tonnage o f general cargo, miscellaneous cargo an d passenger vessels is signiflcant. T he decline in passenger tonnage is hkely to continue as vessels are retired because their operation is uneconom ic a t curren t bu n k er prices. T Analysis “ o f worid ا ا ،٠ 40. The average size o f different types o f existing ships and the average size o f vesseis on order for 1974 as com pared with 1973 and 1972 are show n in table 9. It can be seen th a t the tendency fo r the size o f vessels—p articnlarly o f tankers and o f bnlk carriers—to increase in recent years persisted in 1974. Nevertheless, the d a ta on the average size o f vessels on order in 1974 suggest th a t in the next few years the tendency to bnild even larger tankers and bulk carriers is likely to slow down. 41. The d ata on the average size o f vessels in service do n o t fully reflect the rap id and continuing changes in the actual size o f vessels built, particularly w ith regard to the distribution o f tonnage by si^e groups o f vessels. F o r example, in 1974 a b o u t 52.3 per cent o f tan k er tonnage was in the size group o f 80,000 dw t and above, as com pared with 47.2 per cent in 1973 and only 4 per cent in 1965. The share o f tan k er tonnage o f 200,000 dw t and above increased from 30.6 per cent in 1973 to 36.1 per cent in 1974. Sim ilar trends have been observed w ith regard to the size o f bulk carrier tonnage. In mid-1974 9.6 per cent o f the ore and bulk carrier tonnage and 74.2 p er cent o f the com bined carrier tonnage in service were in the size group o f 80,000 dw t and over as com pared w ith 8.6 per cent and 71.3 per cent, respectively, in 1973. ﺀأThe discussion is based on data derived from ﺀ/، ﺀ’ ﻣﺤﻤﺮRegister ٠/ Shipping: Statistical Tables (London), corresponding issues uniess otherwise stated. able 8 by principal types i■ the period 1970-1974 (In 1,000 grt) 1970 Oil tankers......................................................

Trends in age distribution 42. T he age distribution o f the w orld m erchant fieet in mid-1974 by groups o f countries an d by type o f vessel is show n in table 10. I t can be observed th a t the relatively younger fieets are to be found in developed m arketeconom y countries. 43. In the period 1973-1974 the age com position o f the w orld fieet rem ained fairly constant, © f to tal w orld tonnage, in 1974 38 p er cent was less th a n five years old as against 39 per cent in 1973١. ؛T he share o f tonnage in the age bracket o f 15 years an d over increased slightly from 21 p er cent in 1973 to 22 per cent in 1974. 44. In 1974, as in previous years, the tonnage registered under the fiags o f developed m arket-econom y countries had th e largest prop o rfio n o f vessels less ^ a n five years old. As in 1973,45 per cent o f the fieets o f these countries were in this age bracket. A t the other end o f the scale, i.e., vessels o f 15 years o r older, 14 p er cent in 1974 (15 per cent in 1973) o f th e tonnage und er the fiags o f developed m arket-econom y countries was in this age bracket. I t can also be seen, however, th a t the age com position o f th e fieets o f developed m arket-econom y countries diners significantly from the age com position o f fieets o f southern E uro p ean countries an d o f those sailing und er the fiags o f open registry countries, ©nly 31 per cent o f the fieets o f southern E uropean countries and 37 per cent o f the fieets o f open registry countries were less th a n five years old. © n th e o th er hand, 31 p e rc e n t o f the tonnage und er fiags o f countries o f southern E urope an d 2 هp er cent o f tonnage und er fiags o f open registry countries were 15 years or older. I t appears th a t th e reason for the significant di^erences in the age com position o f the tonnage registered in developed m arket-econom y countries on the one h an d an d in the countries o f southern E urope an d o f open registry countries on th e oth er m ay be due to the fact th a t the latter countries have com parably low er lab o u r costs, thus enabling owners to m aintain und er these fiags older vessels—w hich are lab o u r intensive— in operation. 45. In 1974, only 23 p er cent o f the fieets o f socialist countries o f E astern E urope an d A sia were below five years o f age as com pared w ith 27 p er cent in 1973 and 38 per cent o f the w orld average, ©n the o th e r hand, 21 per cent o f the tonnage o f this group o f countries were 15 years o r older as against 18 per cent in 1973. 46. Finally, 3 هper cent o f the fieets o f developing countries were less th a n five years old, which is substantially sm aller th a n th e w orld average (38 p er cent), while 30 per cent o f their tonnage belonged to the bracket o f 15 years a n d over, w hich again was m uch less favourable th an the w orld average (22 per cent). 47. W ith regard to the age com position o f di^erent types o f vessels it can be seen th a t 47 p er cent o f bulk carrier tonnage is u nder five years o f age (48 per cent in 1973) while the percentage fo r tankers in this age bracket was 43 p er cent in 1974 (42 per cent in 1973). © n the oth er hand, th e share o f bulk carriers an d tankers o f 15 years o r older on the corresponding to tal fieets was ١٠ ^ o r 1973 figures used rhroughou ؛the discussion in this subseetion, see Review ٠/ maritime transport, 1972-1973 (op. ﺀ'ﺀﺀ. ر, table 11. 9 and 19 per cent, respective!)?, tbe figures for 1973 being 9 and per cent. 48. G om parlng the age distribution fo r tankers o f the various groups o f countries. It can be seen th a t the tankers o f developed m arket-есопош)? countries and o f open registry countries tend to be m uch younger th a n those o f any o th er group o f countries. T he m ain reason fo r this can be found In the com position o f sizes o f tankers operated under the fiag o f countries o f these groups. W hile developed m arket-econom y countries and countries o f open registry Operate a large fieet o f U L C C s and VLCCs, which tend to be relatively new, the partielpotion o f the other groups o f c o u n tie s In these types o f vessels Is relatively small, especially In the case o f the socialist countries o f E astern Europe and Asia, where only 13 per cent o f the tan k er fieet Is less th a n five years old. 49. The p o int m ade regarding tankers Is to a large extent also valid fo r bulk carriers. The newest and largest vessels are owned m ainly by developed m arketeconom y countries, thus explaining the exceptionally high share o f 53 p er cent fo r bulk carriers in the age bracket o f under five years ow ned by those countries. The share o f bulk carriers in this age group is 45 per cent In southern E uropean countries, 42 per cent in open registry countries, 44 per cent in developing countries and 28 per cent in socialist countries o f E astern E urope and Asia. Owing to the com paratively late emergence o f specialized bulk carriers, only very sm all proportions o f bulk carriers are in the age group o f 15 years o r over. 50. O om paring the age distribution o f the fieets o f developing countries w ith th a t o f the to tal w orld fieet, it can be seen th a t the developing countries’ fieets are substantially older. This occurs in spite o f the very favourable age com position o f their bulk carrier tonnage and the relatively good age com position o f their tanker tonnage. Gbviously it is the age com position o f other th a n bulk carrier and tan k er tonnage, in w hich general cargo tonnage is included, w hich creates this unfavourable picture. D. The productivity of shipping space 51. T he developm ent o f productivity o f tankers o f 10,000 dw t and above and o f bulk carriers o f 18,000 dw t and above m easured by the num ber o f ton-m iles o f cargo carried per year per deadw eight to n o f the existing active fieet is given in tables 11 and 12. 52. T here was a tendency fo r tanker productivity to increase in 1973, w hen it rose by 4 points relative to 1972, while b u lk carriers productivity rem ained unchanged. This tendency is unlikely to persist in 1974, in view o f the corrective action taken by tanker operators in response to the reduced dem and for tanker tonnage resulting from the new energy situation. ١® 53. I t is n o t possible to com pute productivity figures fo r the total w orld fieet sim ilar to those fo r oil tankers and bulk carriers.

It can be seen from the d ata above th a t the overall increase in total tonnage on o rd er betw een O ctober 1973 and O ctober 1974 did n o t follow a steady p attern. O uring the q u arter ending on 31 la n u a ry 1974 there was an increase o f 1 5 . هm illion dw t (4.1 p er cent), b u t in the following q u arter there was a distinct slowing dow n in the rate o f increase which declined to 1.7 per cent. This declining tre^d persisted during the next tw o quarters, ending on 31 July an d 31 O ctober 1974 respectively, during w hich to tal tonnage on order also declined in absolute terms. 56. T he volum e o f tonnage ordered in the third q u arter o f 1974 declined to the low est level recorded since the q u arter ending in Septem ber 1972. M oreover, the volum e o f tonnage delivered exceeded new orders in the second an d th ird q u arters o f 1974. This points to a distinct slowing dow n in future shipbuilding activities. ﺀل 57. T he absolute decline in tonnage on o rd er th a t has been observed since the q u arter ending in July 1974 was caused by a decline in the o rd er books for b o th tankers an d bulk carriers (including com bined carriers). By fu rth er differentiating betw een various sizes and types o f vessels it m ay be observed th a t in the case o f tankers there was a decline in the size g ro u p o f 150,000 dw t and over, while the tonnage in th e size group under 150,000 dw t showed a steady increase. U ow ever, this increase was n o t strong enough to offset the decrease in orders fo r larger-sized tankers. In the case o f bulk carriers (including com bined carriers), th e decline was due to decreasing orders fo r com bined carriers .ﺀ ل 2. the above groups o f coutitrles, the share o f the flags o f the three groups com bined w ould am ount to 89.1 per cent for 1974, 9^.9 in 1973 and 9^.3 per cent in 1972. 59. Table 14 also shows th a t, in relation to the disffibution o f tonnage on order by vessel type, there h^ve been some changes for the com bined group o f flags o f developed m arket econom y countries, countries o f southern Europe, open registry countries and “flag not yet ^now n” . W hile the share o f this com bined group fo r tankers over 150,000 dw t showed a slight decrease from 97.2 per cent in 1973 to 94.2 per cent in 1974, their share o f tankers in the size group under 150,000 dwt increased further to 85 . ةper cent in 1974 as com pared w ith 84.6 per cent in 1973. T heir share in ore/oil and ore/bulk/oil carriers decreased further to 80.2 per cent as com pared with 82.3 per cent in 1973. 60. The decline in the com bined share o f the three groups o f countries in container tonnage in 1973 was reversed in 1974, w hen this group o f countries accounted fo r 82.6 per cent as com pared w ith 74.3 per cent in 1973. 61. The share o f the socialist countries o f Eastern E urope and A sia in tonnage on order was 3.6 per cent in 1974 as com pared w ith 4.2 per cent in 1973 and 4.8 per cent in 1972. Uowever, there is an uneven distribution according to types o f vessel. W hile p a rt container ships ordered by these countries accounted fo r 25.9 per cent o f to tal w orld tonnage on order o f this type, tankers o f over 150,000 dwt and bulk carriers accounted fo r only 0.9 and 4 per cent respectively o f the respective total w orld tonnage on order. T he corresponding flgures for 1973 were 33.7, 0.8 and 8 per cent. 62. T here were some noticeable changes the share of developing countries in tonnage on order in 1974. The developm ents w ithin the different types o f vessels are given below: Distribution o f tonnage by groups ٠/ countries 58. It can be seen from table 14 th a t the flags o f developed m ark et econom y countries, countries o f southern E urope an d open registry countries taken as a group accounted fo r 85 p er cent o f tonnage on order on 31 G ctober 1974, as com pared w ith 84.2 p er cent in 1973 an d 83 p er cent in 1972.

T he high rates o f inflation in m ost shiphuiiding countries have nndouhtedly h a d their im pact on the evolution o f shipbuilding prices in recent years. In addition to inflationary pressures, the boom in the dem and fo r ships exerted pressure on steel prices and thus eo ntrlbuted to rising eosts. However, the sharp increases in shipbuilding prices in the last few years should n o t be seen solely in the light o f w orld-wide inflation an d rising eosts, b u t should also be '' in conjunction w ith the fact th a t since 1969 shipyards have been fully booked fo r a num ber o f years ahead, thus enabling shipbuilders to take advantage o f a very tight supply situation.

F aken as a whole, the various Bata on the Bevelopm ent o f the fleets o f Beveloping countries point to the possible emergence o f a new trenB. This is shown by the annual percentage rates o f grow th over the last fou r years, which are: «/«4.8 . . . . . . ا9701-و7 ا 4.6 . . . . . .9 7 2 إ97 ل- »ل/o t972-t973 . . . . . . 6.3»/o 1973-1974... . . . 9.5»/o 79.

The very high costs o f building T N G carriers m a^e it increasingly d i^ c u lt to finance investm ents in such vessels. A ecording to press reports, hanks find it di® cult to provide the capital required for such investm ents w ithout additional safeguards. I t is perhaps fo r such reasons th a t the financing o f the supply o f tonnage required to carry L N G to its destinations is inereasingly becom ing an integrated p a rt o f the developm ent projects concerned and is additionally guaranteed by the whole operation.®؟ 88. © oubts have been expressed in the press ® وas to w hether In d ia wiil he able to Im plem ent its national plan program m e o f expanding its m erchant fleet to 8.fi mfilion grt w ithin the next five years, because o f di® eulties in raising the capital th a t is required to expand the m erchant fieet by ah o u t 1 m illion grt per year, as called fo r in the plan. 89. R c e n t developm ents in the availahility o f capital in oil producing countries have eased di® culties regarding the financing o f investm ents in shipping th a t previously existed also in these countries.®® Thus a num ber of investm ents in shipping projects have heen announced in 1974, while in other eases prospects for the developm ent o f natural gas resources in developing countries have also included plans fo r investm ents in the tra n sp o rt of natural gas. A vailable inform ation regarding these and other cases o f ship financing in developing countries is given helow. 90. The A rab M aritim e ?etroleum T ran sp o rt Gompany (A M ? T € ), form ed in 1978 hy the G overnm ents o f eight A rab States under the auspices o f G A ? £ € , ordered its first vessels at the beginning o f 1974. Two crude carriers o f 275,000 dw t were ordered iu France for delivery in 1977 and 1978 respectively, and tw o crude carriers of 313,000 dwt, and also one o f 38fi,000 dwt, were ordered in the fe d e ra l R epublic o f G erm any for delivery in 197fi and 1977. T otal costs o f these order s are reported to he $320 m illion.“ In the second phase 82. $om e individual developing countries were able to add substantial am ounts o f tonnage to their existing fieet in 1973 (see annex V). fu rth e rm o re , as the iuform ation given in paragrap h s 91 to 99 below indicates, qualitative changes in the fieets o f individual developing countries are e^peeted. H ow ever, the general picture fo r developing countries as a whole rem ains gloom y and there ap p ear to he only a very lim ited num ber o fco u n tries able to bring a b o u t significant im provem ents o f their fieets. 83. One o f the m ain obstacles preventing developing countries from signifieantly increasing their share in w orld tonnage is the fact th a t insu® cient capital is available to them on suitable term s. As is pointed out above, developing countries acquire vesseis m ainly from foreign countries an d thus they m ust have access to foreign credit on suitable term s fo r any significant impr©veme سs to be m ade in their fieet as a whole. Existing evidence, however, reveals th a t financing the acquisition o f new vessels has becom e m ore d i^ c u lt in 1974 th an it was in earlier years. 84. I t is for snch reasons th a t, in the financing o f new and second-hand tonnage by developing countries, attentio n is being focused on the role o f international financial institntions as suppliers o f capital for shipping investm ents developing countries. U evelopm ents appear to be very slow in this direction. In 1974, the W orld Bank g r a c e d the ?hilippines a loan o f $12fi million fo r the acquisition, conversion an d repairs o f ships in order to im prove the inter-island fieet servicing in the ?hilippines. 85. In July 1974 the OEG © shipbuilding countries am ended their export credit term s fo r new ships and m ade them considerably less attractive for shipow ners th an before. The am ended O E C D term s o f ©redit for ships, the text o f which is reproduced in annex VI, eoupled w ith increasing priees for newly built vessels, m ade it even m ore di® cult fo r developing countries to build up substantial and productive m erchant fieets by acqniring new ships. ٠٠^N ٠ : 1974-1990—M arine ©^eraiion an4 m arket prospects for liquefied natural ^as-p u b lislred by the £©onomk Intelligence Ifn lt; reviewed in Fairplay Internatiorml Shipping Weekly (London), vol. 252, No. 4742 (11 July 1974), p. 6. ٠٠ / ﻣﻪﺀه ٠ﻣﺮ ؟،،»■ ا،؛ / de la marine marchande et de la navigation ءسء'ءﻣﺣﻪ (Paris), 56th year.

F o r the h rst tim e since 1969 a deeline was recorded in the deliveries o f com bined earriers. A declining trend also in new orders suggests th a t there will be a furth er decline in new deliveries o f eom bined tonnage in the next few years. Deliveries o f bulk earriers (ineluding ore earriers) in 1974 also decreased as eom pared w ith 1973. The share o f bulk earriers in to tal deliveries dropped from 18.4 per cent in 1973 to 13.8 p er cent in 1974. 105.

T he extremely rap id grow th o f such tonnage in the last 1 هyears occnrred in response to the advantages o f the newly adopted concept o f com bined operations. Snrely, only p a rt o f the dem and for shipping services will be o f a type which could be subject to com bined operations and hence future orders for such tonnage will be to satisfy new specific requirem ents, fn this connexion, it is w orth noting th a t beetwen 1972 and 1974 the great redaction in new orders was fo r ore/oil carriers o f 150,000 dw t and above (16 in 1974 as com pared w ith 52 vessels in 1972), while the order boolc for bulk/oil ( ) ه ^ هcarriers o f up to 150,000 dw t declined only by $i^ vessels in the same period (38 in 1974, as com pared w ith 44 in 1972). ةﺀThese d ata suggest th a t the level o f new orders is well sustained for the tonnage which offers the widest fiexibility o f operation to the owners. T he operational fiexibility o f this medium -sized com bined tonnage is dem onstrated by recent shifts o f such vessels from the oil to the dry cargo m arket. In the m eantim e, the idea o f a new type o f com bined carrier was introduced, the so-called PROBO.®“ It is proposed th a t this vessel should be in the size group o f 96,000 to 126,000 dw t and should be able to carry products, crude oil, bulk cargoes and ore. ^ h e smallest size vessel is planned to carry 96,000 dw t on a d raught o f only 12.8 m, which will m ake it suitable for shallower w aters.•؛؟ Tike other product carriers, it will be able to carry nine different kinds o f products. o f trad e in petroleum products, which has led to increased orders for vessels o f the ap p ro p riate type. ؛؟A m ong the m ajor factors infiuencing the dem and for prod u ct carriers is the planned expansion o f refining capacities in oi! producing developing countries. (b) D ry bulk carriers and combined carriers 111. Since early 1973 there has been a considerable decrease in the tonnage o f bulk carriers (including combined carriers) und er construction, which dropped from 8.38 million grt at the end of the first q u arter o f 1973 to 5.4 m ilhon g rt a t the end o f the th ird q u arter o f 1974. T here was also a decrease in the tonnage o f bulk carriers delivered. Between 1 D ctober 1973 an d 30 Septem ber 1974, 8.2 m ilhon g rt were delivered as com pared with 9.3 m illion g rt in the 12-m onth period ending S e p te ther 1973. 112. T he to ta l order book for bulk carriers and com bined carriers together decreased only slightly. A t the end o f Septem ber 1974 the order b o o k stood ^t 18 m illion grt as eom pared w ith 18.7 m illion grt on 30 Septem ber 1973. In relative term s the share o f dry bulk tonnage in to tal tonnage on order decreased from 16.4 p er cent at the end o f Septem ber 1973 to 14.1 per cent ^ t the end o f Septem ber 1974. 113. Gonsidered separately, however, the trends in buik carriers an d com bined carriers diverged. The tonnage on o rd er for com bined carriers continued to decline: a t the end o f O ctober 1974, 9.3 m illion dw t were on order, as com pared w ith 13.8 m illion dw t a t 31 G ctober 1973. G n the oth er hand, the tonnage o f o ther bu lk carriers on order increased from 25.1 m illion dw t a t 31 G ctober 1973 to 27 m illion dw t a t 31 Gctober ل974 .هﺀ 2.

The d ata for the period end Septem ber 1972 to Septem ber 1974 for ships o f m ore than 2,000 grt are: ٢٠ 114. W ith regard to the decline in orders for combined carriers, there appears to be a confiict o f views as to the future dem and fo r such vessels. Some observers felt th a t the boom in construction o f com bined carriers occurred only because o f the extrem ely low bnilding prices fo r vessels in the 196fis. This argum ent is not, however, supported by the available evidence. Shipbuilding prices have risen sharply since the late 1960s,• nevertheless, the tonnage o f com bined carriers on order rose from 6.9 m illion dw t in 1969 to 21.6 m illion dw t in 1972 . أﺀth e re fo re , the decline in the tonnage o f combined carriers on o rd er since 1972 is m ore likely to be due to the fact th a t existing an d foreseen dem and for sudh vessels has been m et rath er th a n to rising building Total tonnage Peron ٠٢ﺀﻣﺢ٢ (m illion centage g r t) change Under struction (m illion g r t) Percentage change D elivered during preceding Î 2 m onths (m illion g rt) change End o f: September 197^ . 6.5 September 1973 . 5.6 September 1974 . 6.7 4.0 + 19.6 4.3 -1 6 .0 -1 6 .3 116.

A. General developments 133. In the dry bulk an d tan k er cargo m arkets, the uncertainty created by the sharp rise in oil prices and im position o f restrictions on oil shipm ents in the last m onths o f 1973 was felt in the early m onths o f 1974. How ever, after a tem porary panse the dem and fo r dry cargo tonnage recovered an d strong dem and conditions characterized the m ark et till well into the fo u rth quarter o f 1974. T he ability o f the m arket in the flrst h a lf o f 1974 to sustain the im pact o f an alm ost continuous transfer o f com bined carriers an d tankers ؛؛to the dry cargo trades w ithout this having a depressing effect on the level o f freight rates, was indicative o f its strength. 135. The prospects for the dry cargo m arket appear to be riddled w ith uncertainties. M uch depends on how far infiation and the rise in oil prices will affect econom ic grow th in industrial countries, consequently also their dem and for im ports, particularly o f industrial raw m aterials. ؛؛N evertheless, som e ob serv ers ®؛felt th a t w orld consum ption o f raw m aterials will begin to expand in 1975, particularly if oil prices stabilize. In addition, since the dry cargo m arket is substantially influenced by grain m ovem ents, the prospects fo r the next few m onths also depend on the am ount o f grains traded. The concern a t the end o f the third q u arter o f 1974 regarding the relatively p o o r crop yield in the U nited States and the cancellation o f certain sales contracts w ith the U SSR increased the uncertainty in the m arket. However, against this, reference should be m ade to the new contract for the sale o f grains concluded in D ctober 1974 between the U nited States and the U SSR , and also to increased m ovem ents o f grains from A rgentina. 134. T he strength o f the dry cargo m arket in the flrst h a lf o f 1974 was derived from a wide m ovem ent o f all m ^jor bulk com m odities, particularly grain, ore and coal follow ing the upheaval created by the oil situation. Voyage an d tim e ch arter rates fo r m ost classes o f tonnage help u p a t rem arkably high levels, ^ h ere were, however, noticeable fluctuations in the rates dnring the flrst six m onths o f 1974 ^nd voyage charter rates reached their highest level since the 196ds in the flrst q u arter o f the year w hen the relevant freight index reached 245 points. T he m ark et was relatively weaker in the second h a lf o f the year an d freight rates deelined. The w eakening o f th e m ark et in the m id-year m onths is fairly norm al in the case o f b o th bulk an d tan k er cargoes. H ow ever, ^ p a rt from seasonal factors, this w eakening o f dem and m ay be p artly attrib u ted to the tonnage requirem ents fo r the tra n sp o rt o f grains as com pared with earlier in th e year. D em and for tonnage for the tran sp o rt o f grains was reactivated in O ctober an d to ta l voyage and consecutive voyage fixtures during this m o n th were a t alm ost the sam e levels as in the corresponding m onth in ل973 . ﻣﻮA t the beginning o f the last q u arter o f the year there was, also, a significant reactivation o f the tim e charter m arket. H ow ever, snbseqnent develop- 136. The situation in the tan k er m arket differed sharply from th a t in the dry cargo m arket th roughout the year. A t the beginning o f 1974 the tan k er m arket was w eak and these w eak dem and conditions persisted until tow ards the end o f the flrst q u arter o f the year. Some im provem ent was observed in M arch 1974 after the lifting o f the oil em bargo, b u t it was short lived and the m arket was n o t effectively activated. A sim ilar tem porary recovery also occurred a t the end o f the third and the beginning o f the fo u rth q u arter o f 1974, perhaps because o f speculatiou th a t O PE C countries wonld decide to increase the royalty paym ents from oil companics from 1 O ctober, and also because some oil supplies were m ade available a t reduced prices by a few G u lf States in A ugust and Septem ber 1974. ؟؛A dded to ٠٠ During 1972/1973, 80 per cent of the deadweight of the combined carrier fleet was in operation in the oii trades. It dropped to 71 per cent by the end of 1973 and was at 60 per cent throughout the first half o f 1974. The volume o f tankers operating in the grain trade grew from 660,000 tons in December 1973 to 1.8 million tons in June 1974. (John I. Jacobs and Co.

Also from mid-September to the end of Dctober 1974, tankers o f 5 6 1 , 0 سdwt were chartered for the transport of grains as compared with 126,000 tons in the corresponding period o f 1973 (Westinform (London), N o. 44, 2 November 1974, and ﻣﺢ؛ ه؛., N o. 44, 3 November 1973). ٠٠ 7,922,000 tons in October 1974 as compared with 7,913,000 tons in Dctober 1973 (Westinform (London), No. 44, 2 November 1974, and ،■ ه،'ﻣﺢ., N o. 44, 3 November 1973). 35 ٠ ؛Fears were expressed throughout 1974 o f a possible recession in the economic growth o f the industrial countries as a result of higher oil prices.

A t the tim e o f w riting this Review (D ecem ber 1974) the oil freight m ark et situation is gloomy, w ith freight rates again following a dow nw ard trend. In p articular, freight rates for V TCCs reached a new low p o in t in the w orld scale (32 ) ظin D ecem ber 1974. قﺀT he relative decline in oil consum ption in m ost o f the m ajo r consum ing countries ﺀﺀcaused the dem and for tonnage to be relatively low during 1974; for example, only 117 tim e ch arter fixtures were reported in the first half, com pared with 276 in the same period in 1973 .١٠٠ This low dem and failed to m atch the inerease in supply thro ug h substantial new deliveries, am ounting to an increase o f 8.6 per cent in tan k er tonnage in the first six m onths,“ ، thus leading to a w eak m arket. o f 1975, rising to 160 m illion tons in the following two )?ears, w^s heing serious!)? predicted.“ ، 139. The nncertaint)? regarding the im m ediate future o f the tanker m arket is further aggravated by th e likelihood o f the reopening o f the Suez C anal in 1975. It has heen estim ated th a t this w ould reduce the dem and for tankers by 10 per eent.^® ؟f t appears therefore that, unless som ething extraordinary happens, in the next few m onths m ajor steps are likely to be taken to reduce surplus tonnage through increased laying up, scrapping, and the caneeliation o f orders. 140. C urrency instability, whieh was so m arked in 1973, persisted, although w ith less intensity, in 1974. This, coupled w ith high rates o f iufiation, raised the question o f the elhcacy o f the long-term charter arrangements which are such a hasic feature o f w orld trad e in oii and other hasic com m odities. A solution to w orld m onetary and other économ ie problem s is, o f course, the m ost desirable way o f resolving the doubts ah o u t the future o f long-term chartering. A lternatively, ways m ight he sought o f adapting chartering to the unstahle m onetary and econom ic conditions by, fo r exam ple, some form o f indexation o f eharter rates. 137. The situation th a t prevailed in the tanker freight m arket triggered various corrective aetions from tanker operators, sueh as switching tankers and combin ation carriers to the dry cargo trades and deliberate underutilization o f tonnage through slow steam ing and indueed .ق I t has heen estim ated th a t the whole w orld w aiting٠ل tanker fieet is being operated a t a speed tw o knots lower th a n norm al, which gives an econom y in hunkers o f 25 p er cent; it also reduces the tra n sp o rt capacity o f the fieet by 8 p er عﺀ0 ا. ﻗﻤﻞA bsorption o f surplus tonnage th ro u g h reducing productivity by slow steam ing and induced w aiting goes some way to explain why, in a situation w ith ap p aren t over-tonnaging, there was a surprisingly low level o f laid-up tonnage in 1974 (see parag rap h 164 helow). 141. In the liner trades, a num ber o f freight rate increases th a t were announced in late 1973 cam e into e^ect early in 1974, and fu rther freight rate increases were announced during 1974. G onsequently, the liner freight index Jum ped by 21 points in the hrst q u arter (see table 28). T iner freight rates showed a rem arkable and consistent rise for the rest o f 1974. By the end o f July the freight index had increased by 35 points over the end o f 1973 figure (134) and stood a t 189 as against 139 points for the corresponding date o f 1973. The index rose further to 194 points in the th ird q u arter o f the year, and to 197 points at the end o f December. 138. T he future prospects fo r the tan k er m arkets are n o t very encouraging. M uch depends on the levei o f oil consum ption by industrial eountries, w hich in the sh o rt ru n is dependent o n the level o f econom ic activity and in the longer ru n on the outcom e o f urgent studies which countries are m aking o n how to diversify their sources and types o f energy used. In general, however, dem and fo r tankers is n o t expected to recover quickly, while at mid-1974 there were nearly 195 m illion dw t o f tan k er tonnage on order for delivery in the next few years.

It can be observed from these d a ta th a t the indices fo r the three size groups eaeh followed quite a different course, particularly dnring 1974. In fact, the index for 9,000— 16,000 dw t vessels reached its highest level only in th e m iddle o f 1974 an d dropped only slightly during the second h ^ lf o f the year, w hereas at the o th er extrem e the index for bulk carriers o f over 40,000 dw t lost 186 points betw een the fo u rth q u arter o f 1973 an d the th ird q u arter o f 1974 and, alth ough it rose slighly dnring th e last quarter, it cam e back to a level only slightly higher th a n in the second quarter o f 1973. Between the tw o extrem es, the index for vessels o f 30,000—40,000 dw t also reached its peak in the fo u rth q u a rter o f 1973, b u t declined less sharply during th e flrst three quarters o f 1974 th an th e index for vessels o f over 40,000 dw t and rose slightly in the fo n rth quarter. 145. T he developm ents in the tim e charter indices described above dem onstrate a relative increase in dem and for small, m ostly m ultideck, vessels, suitable fo r carrying general cargoes an d em ploym ent in liner trades, and also for m edium -sized carriers offering a wide flexibility w ith regard to b o th routes in which they can be employed and cargoes they can carry.

As in 1973 the changes in liner freight rates, particularly during the first q u arter e f 1974, were chargeterized by the great num ber ©f b u n k er surcharges imp©sed. In to tal, there were 168 announcem ents o f new or increased b a n k e r surcharges in 1974 as against 155 in !973. In addition, 12 new or increased com bined bun k er/C A F surcharges were announeed in 1974. F urtherm ore, the bunker an d com bined sureh^rges im posed were relatively high; for exam ple, m ore th an h a lf o f the announcem ents o f b unker surcharges stated as a percentage o f freight rates fell w ithin the rang© of 15 per cent an d over, while th e eom bined bunker/C A F sureharges all fefi w ithin the rang© o f 25 per eent and over. T here was, however, a noticeable slowdown in the num ber o f announcem ents after the first q u arter o f the y ear; (here were, in addition, 88 announcem ents o f decreased b u n k er surcharges an d one b unker surcharge was ^boiished w ithout having been incorporated in the ta riff 149. In the latter p a rt o f th e year there was an evident tendency for b u n k er surcharges to be in corporated in the tariffs. In all, 19 b unker surcharges were ineorporated, 14 o f these during the last q u a rte r o f th e year. Such a developm ent indicates an aeeeptanee th a t inere^sed b unk er prices can no ionger be regarded as temporary. H ow ever, 1 إmay be doubled w hether the butrker price situation is yet stabie enough to justify this action, and the incorporation o f bunker surchar§es at the !evels at w hich they existed in 1974 m ay weli be prem ature. 150. Shippers in certain trades have com plained th a t shipowners reacted m uch to o severely in their im position o f bunker surehar£es *٠® and th a t the maiffienance o f these surehar^es by conferences eould only be expi^ined as a m eans o f enhancing shipowners profitability .**٠ In the trades o f one country a t least, a specific form ula has been agreed u p o n *** by liner operators and shippers fo r the assessment o f a p roper level o f bunker surcharges, b u t generally it does n o t ap p ear th a t a solution has been found w hieh could satisfy b o th sides, partieuiarly in *٠٠ In ئ/ ﺀ’ ﻣﺤﺮ مL ist (Tenden), 21 February 1974, it was stated that a resulutien was passed 15 shippers councils in Furope appealing to shipowners to keep bunker su r^ a rg e s as low as possible as these surcharges had reached a levei where they have become prohibitive to the trade on various routes.

A reduction in the num her o f sailings should also free carrying capacity for em ploym ent elsewhere, perhaps in the open m arket. F o r sueh reasons, while it is clearly possible to assess the position i^ an individual trad e, it is very difficult indeed to Judge th e reasonableness o f the levels o f b a n k e r surcharges in general. I t is w orth noting, however, th a t according to press reports liner operations have recently shown increased profitability an d th at, in the case o f Japanese liner com panies, increased profitahility was stim ulated hy “rationalizing” their operations, by cutting dow n their sailings and lim iting their p o rts o f 03 ا1.ﻗﻠﻞ 152. T he corrective m easures tak en by liner operators, coupled w ith delays in ports an d increased dem and for liner services, resulted in m any trades in a very tight tonnage situation. Particularly during the first and second q u arters o f 1974, a general shortage o f tonnage developed, causing serious problem s to shippers .١١٠ The argum ent advanced by shipow ners to defend their position was th a t the scarcity o f tonnage w^s the direct result o f p o rt congestion an d slow tu rn ro u n d o f ships at ﺀ0 ^ ة ﻟﻠﻤﺔ اآh i l e there was undoubtedly som e deterioratio n in th e perform ance o f certain po rts, it is difficult to accept th a t this could h^ve been sufficient to have caused a shortage o f tonnage as w idespread as th at w hich existed.

The very frequent and sharp increases in liner freight r^tes in the last tw o years have caused grave concern am ong shippers, particularly in developing countries, who in the last analysis are the ares th a t hear the brunt.^“ ^ i t h liner freight rates changing at frequent intervals, shippers have increasingly found th at one o f the supposed advantages o f the conference system, nam ely stability o f freight rates,^^® has hardly existed. W hile bunker costs, com bined w ith general infiationary trends, have undoubtedly contrihuted to the rise in liner freight rates, it is d i^ c u lt to accept th at such a consistent rise can be explained purely by these two factors. M any shippers, faced w ith rate increases o f over 15 per cent plus surcharges, m ust have found th eir freight bills increased by as m uch as ^5 to 3 هper cent, ©ne cannot help thinking th a t the rise in liner freight rates cannot be fully explained w ithout taking into account as an im p o rtan t elem ent the strong dem and conditions which have generally characterized all dry cargo m arkets since 1973.

A n o th er factor was th a t freight rates for the smafi-size groups o f tankers rem ained relatively high, and thus enabled carriers to continue their operations w ith som e m argin o f profit. 168.

D uring 1974 eom m odity prices appear to have stabilized and some even declined significantly, while large freight rate inere^ses were e je c te d during the same year; so it is expected, therefore, th a t the relationship between freight rates and prices will once again deteriorate. 165.

Particular developments with regard / ٠ unit load system s in //«£٢ cargo trades 196. A large p a rt o f liner cargo in the m ajor trades is now nnitized. T here is, however, no inform ation showing the com parative positioh o f each u n it load $?؛stem. ? a rtia l inform ation on the share o f containerized eargo—irrespeetive o f the t?؛pe o f vessel used— in the 1 هm ajor hner trades to and from the U nited States * ﺀإ suggests th a t in 1972 (table 33) ab o u t 44 p er eent o f the liner cargo (11.5 m illion tons) m oved in coffiainers (though n o t neeessaril ?؛on ©ontainer vessels). I t was also reported *٠®th a t 52 per eent o f the E u ro p e/F ar E ast liner trade ro u te and 54 per cent o f the F a r E ast/E urope ro ute m oved in eontainers in 1973, b u t again n o t neeessaril ?؛on ©ontainer vessels. T here is no reason to believe th a t the situation on the m ajor routes to and from other developed eountries is substantial[}? different. I t is w orth noting however th at, in other th a n the 10 m ajor trades to an d from the U nited States, the share o f cargo earried in eontainers in 1971 was only 3.4 per eent (the source did n o t give the eorresponding share in 1972). W hile unitization is im p o rtan t in m ost trad e routes to and from la p a n , it has been reported * أﺀth a t in 33 trade routes o f ^ p a n a b o u t 2,500 yearly sailings o f conventional liner ships still occur. A lso, in the F a r E ast/ E urope and E u ro p e/F a r E ast liner trad e routes * ﺀأin 1974 there was an average o f 774 annual sailings o f eonventional an d com bination container/break-bulk (COM BO ) vessels. Olearly, although the expanding use o f eontainers on the m ajor hner trades affects a very substantial p o rtio n o f liner eargoes, other form s o f unitization o f eargoes and conventional m ethods o f packaging and handling general cargo are also used fo r a great p a rt o f liner eargoes. M oreover, the use o f containers by no m eans im phes tran sp o rt on ©ontainer vessels only. 193. In the particu lar ease o f developing countries, there is grow ing evidence th a t hexible u n it load systems m ay best serve the heterogeneous eharacter o f their trade. F o r exam pie, th e us© o f shipper—paeked units can result in substantial savings in the eost o f handling eargo from p ro d u ctio n p o in t to the m arket. U nits th a t m ay be built a t producers’ prem ises by securing the goods paeked in bags, eartons o r oth er form s o f p a c k a ^ n g to pallets m ay ereate substantia[ savings, w ithout undue pressure on p o rts in developing countries to invest in the ©apital-intensive an d teehnieally sophisticated h andling equipm ent necessary for container operations. T he advantages o f using shipper-paeked units inelude the faet th a t they are eonvenient to handle and store at the producers’ prem ises an d they reduee the eosts o f handling, inland tra n sp o rt an d loading, while loading an d discharging times a t export and im port term inals are also redueed, as com pared w ith break-bu!k transport. 194. C enerally speaking, international seaborne trade an d the particu lar requirem ents o f different eountries and regions are to o heterogeneous to be served by only on© tra n sp o rt o r handiing system. W hatever the advantages o f one o r an o th er system m ay be, the requirem ents o f w orld trades necessitate th e objeetive selection from am ong a rang© o f u n it load systems o f th e one best adapted to th e partieu lar eireum stanees. I t is interesting to n ote in this context th a t in 1974 the E lder D em pster Line, a m em ber o f the U nited K n g d o m /W e st A frica Liner Jo in t Service, p u t in to service three m ulti-purpose sem i-eontainer vessels eaeh o f 41B T E U *٠٠ th a t are equipped w ith on-b o ard ©ontainer handling faeilities. $uch ships do n o t require heavy eapitai outlays in eom plex equipm ent by the p o rts served. 197. O n the o th e r hand, new announeem ents are m ade from tim e to tim e by groups o f earriers o f their deeision to eontainerize eertain trades, as fo r exam ple E urope to $o u th Africa,*®® E urope to N ew Zealand,*®® 195.

Increased use has been m ade o f (he unit load system and in p articular o f containers in air cargo traffic. The ability to introduce the u n it system into air freight operations has been facilitated by th e advent o f the new generation o f w ide-hodied aircrafts, such as the Boeing 747, w hieh was the h rst aircraft to carry 40 ft containers. Specialists in air tran sp o rt now claim th a t air cargo rates are com petitive with surface rates.

The resistance o f shipping to air com petition has been m uch stronger th an was originally foreeast. W eaknesses have also been found in the organization o f goods transported between airports, laborious docum entation,*®؟procedures and delays which som etim es offiset the m ^jor benefit o f air transport, i.e. the quiek transit time.

Seaborne trade Is recorded at ports of loading and unloading. The trade of the ports of a country or territory may therefore include goods originating in or destined for another coumry or ^ rrito r^ , such as a neighbouring landlocked country or territory. The trade o f land-loeked eountries or territories cannot be identified in seaborne trade statistics, and these countries or territories are not explicitly ineluded in the trade elassification. However, when the classification is appiied to registered merchant fleets, land-locked countries or territories possessing merchant fleets are Ineluded in the appropriate geographical groups of countries or territories.

F o r any contract relating to any new ship to he negotiated from 1st July, 1974 onwards, governments participating in this Understanding agree to aholish existing official facihties * and to introduce no new officia! fficiiities for export credits for ships on terms providing: (i) A maximum duration exceeding 7 years from delivery and repayment other than hy equal instalments at regular intervals of normaily six months and a maximum of twelve m onths; (ii) Payment by delivery of less than 30 per cent of contract price; (iii) A n interest rate of less than 8 per cent, net o f all charges. ٠* “2. This minimum interest rate of 8 per cent will apply to the credit granted with official support by the shipbuilder to the buyer (in a suppiier credit transaction) or by a bank or any other party in the shipbuiider’s country to the buyer or any other party in the buyer’s country (in a buyer credit transaction), whether the offieial support is given for the whoie am ount of tire credit or only part o f it. “ * Official facilities are those which enable credits to be insured, guaranteed or flnanced by governments, by governmental institutions, o r with any form of direct or indirect governmental participation. “ ** By interest rate, net of ail charges, is m eant that part of the credit costs (excluding any credit insurance premia and/or any banking charges) whieh is paid at regular intervals throughout the credit period and whieh is directiy related to the am ount of credit. ” ﺀE or the original text of the Understanding see.
