Abwrackboom in Alang - Schiffe stauen sich vor dem Strand
Verfasst: Do 19. Feb 2009, 18:54
Guten Abend!
Eigentlich gehört diese Meldung in die Shipping News. Weil es aber im Zusammenhang mit den Beiträgen zur MAXIM GORKI und anderen vom Abbruch bedrohten Schiffen diverse Spekulationen hinsichtlich der Situation am Abbruch-Markt speziell in Alang gab, hellen vielleicht die nachfolgenden englischsprachigen Meldungen aus indischen Medien den Nebel etwas auf. Zwar sinkt der Schrottpreis, aber das boomende Angebot wird die Umsätze hoch treiben. Und wer die Abbrucharbeit kennt, weiß wie schlecht sie bezahlt wird. Für die Breaker-Bosse ist ein großes Angebot immer ein gutes Geschäft.
Vor Alang stauen sich die Abbruchschiffe. Kein Wunder angesichts der weltweiten Schifffahrtskrise und den gewaltigen Überkapazitäten. Was den Altautos recht ist, kann den Schiffen nur billig sein.
Während im vergangenen Jahr nur 40 Schiffe auf dem Strand von Alang ihr Ende fanden, warten jetzt im Februar 2009 rund 125 Schiffe vor Alang auf ihren Abbruch. Ursache für den Abbruch-Ansturm ist aber auch die Tatsache, dass die Anforderungen an einen "umweltgerechten Abbruch" im nächsten Jahre verschärft werden, so dass man sich jetzt noch schnell seiner schadstoffbelasteten Altpötte entledigen kann. Zitat aus den "Hindu Business Lines": The new regulations for ship breaking industry to be unveiled by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) by 2010, is expected to be stringent on environmental impact, pollution, hygiene and labour welfare. “The sudden rush for dismantling ships can be traced to the fact that the cost may raise many folds once these norms are implemented,” said Mr Vijay Trivedi, Vice-President, Commodity and Trade News.

Alang ship breakers booming in times of recession
Exim News Service reported that the global recession and the resultant decline in export and import business, as also falling freight rates, which has led to idling of ships in several countries have all turned out to be a boon for the ship breaking industry at Alang.
As many as 125 vessels from all over the world are now lined up at Alang ship breaking yards, as against just 40 vessels in the whole of 2008.
Mr Vishnu Gupta President of the Alang Ship Breaking Industry Association said that the recovery of steel scrap this year was expected to double to about 12 million.
Mr Gupta said that "However, breaking charges have fallen to USD 250 to USD 300 a tonne from USD 600 a tonne in 2008."
On an average, a ship weighs about 10,000 tonnes to 30,000 tonne, depending upon its capacity. More than 600 ships are reportedly available for breaking in the international market because of the recession and the yards are getting set to establish a new record in dismantling ships in 2009.
However, because of the drop in steel prices, scrap realizations have halved to INR 17,000 a tonne from INR 34,000 a tonne in 2008.

Alang set to break highest number of ships in 2009
Stay afloat
About 125 vessels from the international shores are lined up at the yards
The average daily dispatch of plate cuttings from Alang is about 6,500 tonnes a day

Mumbai, Feb. 9 Even as the shipping companies find it difficult to stay afloat with shrinking export-import business and falling freight rates, the ship breaking industry at Alang in Gujarat seems all set to buck the recessionary trend.
About 125 vessels from the international shores are lined up at Alang ship breaking yards as against 40 vessels in the whole of last year.
Mr Vishnu Gupta, President, Alang Ship Breaking Industry Association, said recovery of steel scrap this year was estimated almost double at about 12 lakh tonnes.
“However, breaking charges have fallen to $250-300 a tonne from $600 a tonne last year,” he added.
On an average a ship weighs about 10,000 tonnes to 30,000 tonnes depending upon the capacity.
“Alang is bracing to set a new record by dismantling the highest number of ships in 2009 as more than 600 ships are available for breaking in the international market due to the current economic recession,” said a trader.
Steel scrap prices dip
Reflecting the drop in steel prices, scrap steel realisations have halved to Rs 17,000 a tonne from Rs 34,000 a tonne last year.
The average daily dispatch of plate cuttings from Alang was about 6,500 tonnes a day, sources said.
The rise in availability of scrap steel, which is cost-effective input for rolling mills, may help small mills to reduce rebar prices.
Freight rates fall
The financial crisis across the globe has led to a sharp drop in freight rates in the last six months. The Baltic Dry Index has dipped 91 per cent to 868 from 9,379 in July.
In last two months, freight rates on the India-Europe route have come down to $600 from $800 for a twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU), while for a forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU), rates have dropped to $1,400 from $1,600. Similarly, rates for the US ports were down to $600 from $900 a TEU.
The new regulations for ship breaking industry to be unveiled by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) by 2010, is expected to be stringent on environmental impact, pollution, hygiene and labour welfare.
“The sudden rush for dismantling ships can be traced to the fact that the cost may raise many folds once these norms are implemented,” said Mr Vijay Trivedi, Vice-President, Commodity and Trade News.
Moreover, companies had delayed scrapping old ships due to the boom in trade between 2001 and 2006, he added.
