Up Since Last Report Down Since Last Report

Market Overview Of the 13,084 vessels and 3,860 barges that Marcon currently tracks, 4,936 are tugs with 623 currently officially on the market for sale worldwide, up 1.47% since February and down 1.42% from May 2015. Of the tugs for sale, 53.39% of foreign and 95.04% of U.S. tugboats are direct from Owners. 201 or 32.26% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign flagged, were built within the last 10 years, are newbuilding re-sales or currently under construction – compared to 35.94% at last November’s report. 70 (11.24%) are over 50 years of age. Eight have no age listed. The oldest tug Marcon currently has listed was built in 1912 and is very last of over 1,000 first generation steam trawlers and halibut fishers. This “old lady” is balanced by 15 newbuildings up to 8,076HP scheduled for delivery in 2016.

The majority of tugs Marcon tracks for sale as of the time this report is being written are in Southeast Asia with 131 tugs officially on the market (142 last report), followed by 123 in the U.S. (118), 69 in the Mid-East (51), 66 in the Far East (76), Europe with 65 (65), 55 in the Mediterranean (60), 27 in the South Pacific (30), 21 in Latin America (29), 20 in Africa (23), 18 in the Caribbean (15), 14 in Canada (13), 8 in Southwest Asia (8) and 6 where location unstated (10). CAT diesels still power most tugs for sale with machinery in 152 or 24% of the tugs Marcon lists. This is followed by 86 Cummins, 57 EMD, 55 Yanmar, 54 Niigata, 25 Deutz-MWM and Mitsubishi, 24 each GM/DD and 19 Wartsila powered tugs. 126 tugs are powered by machinery from other manufacturers from ABC to Zibo with, as always seems, six Fairbanks Morse boats still on the market. In tugs listed for sale since May 2011, CAT and Yanmar powered vessels are up 5 percentage points each, Cummins and Niigata are up 2 points each and EMD is down 3 points.

There has been a definite shift in the second-hand tug market over the last few years with newer boats, many of which are ASDs out of Southeast Asia and the Far East, being offered for sale. Five years ago, only 30.63% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign flag, were built within the previous ten years compared to 32.26% today. The United States also then had the largest selection of tugs listed for sale with 151 available (24.0%) tracked by Marcon (plus seven additional U.S. flag tugs overseas). 108 tugs were located in Southeast Asia (17.1%), 102 tugs in Europe (16.2%), Far East 83 (13.2%), Mediterranean 73 (11.6%), Mid-East 33 (5.2%) and Caribbean 27 (4.3%). Another major shift in the marketplace is with the Southeast Asian second-hand tug market overtaking Europe and the U.S. in the number of tugs for sale in the region. As far as types go - conventional twin screw tugs still prevail today with 370 (59.4%) for sale worldwide. These are followed by 136 azimuthing tugs (21.8%) on the market, 103 single-screw tugs (16.5%), 9 Voith Schneider tractor tugs (1.4%) and five triple screw (0.8%). As a comparison and demonstrating the trend in propulsion, five years ago 21.7% of the 630 tugs for sale were single screw, 57.1% twin screw, 17.1% azimuthing and 3.5% were Voith Schneider. As we have been saying for a while many older single screw boats have lingered too long and are now being broken up. We now see more ASD tugs listed for sale worldwide than single screw tugs. The greatest global changes in horsepower for sale in the last five years have been in the 2,000 – 2,999HP range with 26 tugs more available today with an average age of 28 years compared to May 2011 when the average age of the 142 vessels listed was 30 years. Tugs in the 3,000-3,999HP range declined by 11 from five years ago. Average age increased from 21 years to 22 years, with average build date now of 1994. There are also eight fewer 7,000 – 7,999HP tugs today (31 years / avg. build date 1985). Average age in 2011 in this horsepower range was 26 years.

Actual sale prices of all vessels and barges sold by Marcon to-date has averaged 90.86% of asking prices. In 2015 actual sales prices averaged 84.95% of asking prices, compared to 2014’s 85.65%, 2013’s 87.07% and 2012’s average 81.79%. Four tugs were sold so far in 2016 with an average price per BHP of $279.18 and average age of 35 years. Five tugs were sold in 2015 with an average price of $243.20 and average age of 34 years. Seven tugs were sold in 2014 with an average price per BHP of $282.55 and average age of 41 years. These are lower than 2013’s average price per BHP for a “generic” 33 year old twin screw tug of US$ 324.78. 2014 sales included both foreign and domestic tugs and actual ages covered a relatively narrow range from 32 to 47 years of age, whereas

2015’s sales included one foreign and four U.S. sales with ages ranging from 8 to 50 years and 2016’s to date include one foreign and three U.S. sales with ages ranging from 19 to 50 years. We continually see updates about vessels scrapped or repossessed and we believe that this first quarter 2016’s uptick in $/BHP is only temporary due to the specific vessels and that prices, especially for older vessels, will continue to decline for the next few years.

Recent Marcon Tug Sales & Charters 1,700HP U.S. flag tug sold to Gulf Coast operators on a private & confidential basis. Marcon acted as sole broker in the sale and has represented both buyer and seller in a number of previous tug transactions.

A U.S. flag; twin screw coastal / inland pusher tug was sold between U.S. West Coast operators. The vessel was built in 1970 by Hudson Marine in Seward, Alaska, measuring 76' loa x 23' beam x 7' depth. Vessel was repowered with twin Cummins QSK19-M diesels producing 1,320BHP, driving twin fixed pitch propellers through ZF W2400R 5.04:1 reverse reduction gears. Boat is fitted with two 25T hydraulic Beebe winches aft with wire capacity of 950'/800' of 1-1/8" wire plus two hydraulic bow winches and is capable of pushing 4,000 ton rock and 4,500 ton chip barges plus tending dredging projects. Her elevated wheelhouse provides the operator with excellent vision. All four hydraulic winches can be operated from both upper and lower wheelhouses.

A 90’ x 27’ x 12’ depth, U.S. flag tug built by Bollinger Machine of Lockport, Louisiana in 1966 was sold between U.S. West Coast operators on a private & confidential basis. The 1,700HP, twin screw tug is powered by twin CAT D398B diesels with Reintjes 5.31:1 gears and fixed pitch props giving a bollard pull of abt. 21 tons and free running speed of abt. 12kn. Towing gear consists of an Almon Johnson single drum winch with a capacity for 1,800’ of 1.75” wire. Tug has worked for many years in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for various operators and construction companies. Marcon acted as sole broker in the transaction.

The Indonesian flagged, twin screw utility tug “ES Taurus” was sold to private interests for further trading outside of South East Asia. The 87.0' x 26.2’x 11.4' depth tug was built in 1997 by Dalian Shipyard Co. Ltd. in China and is powered by twin Yanmar 6LAHM-STE3 engines creating 1,240BHP at 1,900RPM driving twin fixed pitched props. The back deck comes equipped with a 15 ton SWL tow hook, 5 ton Tadano crane and stern roller. Vessel was formerly classed with both BKI and NKK. Accommodations are provided for six crew. This is the second recent transaction between the parties. Marcon acted as sole broker.

The 1,700BHP “Benjamin Foss” was sold by Foss Maritime of Seattle, Washington to private U.S. interests. The 78.0’ x 26.3’ x 11.0’ depth tug was built in 1980 by Main Iron Works of Houma, Louisiana as Hull 352 - the first in a series of seven “Super D” class, advanced, medium size tugs contracted in 1979. The low-profile tugs were built for PacTow, a Dillingham Maritime Company, and Foss Maritime, also a subsidiary of Dillingham in the 1980s, as a larger, enhanced version of the popular 1,200HP, 66’ “D” class boats built in the mid-1960s. After delivery from the shipyard, “Benjamin Foss” remained in the U.S. Gulf for six months working for Foss’ new Gulf Coast service until returning to the Pacific Northwest with a new 30,000bbl bunker barge. The tug since worked in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and on the Columbia River performing ship assists and as a line-haul tug.

“Benjamin Foss” is powered by CAT D398s developing a total of 1,700BHP at 1,225RPM, with CAT 7261 4.65:1 gears, 76” x 76” fixed pitch props in kort nozzles and flanking rudders. This gives her a bollard pull of abt. 26.4 short tons. Towing gear consists of an Intercon SD-150 single drum winch with a capacity of 2,000’ of 1.5” wire and a Foss Mk.2 bow winch with 150’ of 1.125” wire. Another former “Super-D” tug, the “Pacific Patriot” (ex-Pacific King) was sold from other sellers by Marcon in 2014. Marcon acted as the sole broker in the “Benjamin Foss” sale, which is the fifth Foss tug sale or charter brokered through Marcon in addition to various barges and other equipment.

Three 5,000HP plus twin screw and ASD tugs continue to be fixed on previously arranged long-term charters in the U.S. and Latin America. Marcon International, Inc. has brokered 1,399 vessels and barges for sale or charter over the past 35 years including 317 tugs totaling 985,507HP, 76 AHTSs total 364,668HP and 36 inland pushboats (80,780HP) in addition to 222 deck barges (1,28,186dwt), 151 tank barges totaling 7,780,835bbl (abt. 1,111,548dwt), 127 inland & ocean hopper barges (328,071dwt) plus many other vessel and barge types. Several additional sales are pending.

Worldwide Number of Tugs Slips The worldwide number of tugs has fallen for the first time since we began tracking it January of 2007, with a decline of 0.60% since February 2016, but is still higher than one year ago by 2.40% and by 23.79% five years ago. While information in IHS Fairplay Sea-web only covers “sea-going” vessels over 100GRT, there are many tugs either under that tonnage or in inland service. According to Sea-web, as of April 29, 2016, there were 17,917 “sea-going” tugs over 100GRT worldwide, up from 17,497 in May 2015 but down 107 vessels from February 2016. Total horsepower is 48,267,578BHP, down 1,811BHP since February. Even taking into account flags of convenience, the largest national fleet of tugs over 100GRT still sails under Indonesian flag with 3,516 tugs totaling 7,367,976BHP. However, this is a decline of 1,037 tugs and 255,164BHP since February. The U.S., as the second largest national fleet of tugs, operates 1,489 “sea-going” tugs over 100GRT, or 8.31% of the world market, totaling 5,094,832BHP (10.56% global BHP). Average age of tugs worldwide is 21 years with the U.S. flag “sea-going” fleet now at 34 years (built 1982). The “Unknown” flag group has grown to 1,760 tugs, 9.82% of the world market, or 2,970,210BHP, which indicates to us that more tugs may be falling off the radar screen or IHS Sea-Web may be changing their criteria.

At the time of our May 2015 tug market report, the average horsepower for the world’s 17,497 “sea-going” tugs was 2,647BHP with an average year built of 1993. Today’s 17,917 tugs have an average horsepower of 2,694BHP, with an average year built of 1996 – a slight improvement in HP and age. The U.S. fleet in May 2015 included 1,474 “sea-going” tugs with an average horsepower of 3,364BHP and an average year built of 1979. Today’s U.S. fleet has increased to 1,489 tugs with an average horsepower of 3,422BHP and a year built of 1982, i.e. an average age of 35 years, which also shows a very gradual replacement of the older, lower horsepower tugs - most notably with higher horsepower and more efficient twin screw AT/B tugs and azimuthing shipdocking and escort tugs.

Breakdown of U.S. “Sea-Going” Fleet Following is a breakdown of the U.S. sea-going tug fleet as of May

2016, according to IHS Fairplay Sea-web, compared with February 2016. As of May 2016, the U.S. domestic tug fleet consisted of 1,489 “sea-going” tugs totaling 5,094,832BHP. The U.S. flag fleet increased by five and total horsepower by 33,671BHP. High horsepower and large tugs are easy to track, but Sea-web has data on only 50 U.S. tugs under 999BHP. As most “under 1,000HP” U.S. tugs are below 100 GRT, they are not included in the Registry. Not counting pushboats, there are eight to nine hundred additional small tugs in U.S. coastal waters.

Of the 1,489 U.S. tugs in Sea-web’s, 187 have unknown engines. 496, or 38% where type is known, are powered by EMDs; 409 (32%) by CATs; 109 (8%) by General Motors / Detroit Diesels, Alco and Cummins have 4%, Fairbanks Morse and M.T.U. (Rolls Royce) are tied with 3% each and Wartsila has 2% of the market share. 372 (25%) and 797 (54%) are conventional single and twin screw, respectively. The remaining 21% are 260 azimuthing, 37 triple screw and 23 Voith tractor tugs. Five years ago, of 1,492 U.S. flag tugs, 401 or 32% were powered by EMDs, 363 (29%) by CATs and 211 (17%) by General Motors / DD. We can see that EMDs gained 6 percentage points and CATs gained 4, while GM/DDs fell by 9 percentage points from five years ago. In regards to propeller types, today there are 78 fewer single screw, 13 less twin screw, 61 more azimuthing and one less triple screw tug versus the fleet statistics in May 2011.

Briggs Marine and Environmental Services, the Fife, Scotland-based leading supplier of offshore services, ordered a Damen Multi Cat 2712. One of the largest models in Damen’s extensive Multi Cat range, the 27.27m x 12.45m x 3.90m depth / 2.70m draft Multi Cat 2712 is an exceptionally versatile workboat capable of taking on almost any role in the coastal environment. Designated the “Forth Warrior”, the new Multi Cat, Hull

571726, is currently being fitted out at Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld in the Netherlands. Special equipment being installed includes a DPS-1 system for use in activities such as windfarm support and a four-point mooring system for diving operations, featuring removable winches each capable of holding 320 meters of wire. Like all Damen Multi Cats, the 2712 provides spacious deck space for carrying equipment, complete 360° visibility from the deckhouse and a shallow draught for operations close to the shore. Other roles for the “Forth Warrior” will include anchor handling, dredging assistance and vessel support. This is the third vessel that Briggs Marine has purchased from Damen in recent years. The first was the 26.0m x 11.5m x 3.5m“Forth Jouster” Multi Cat 2611 built

in 2008, a slightly smaller version of the 2712, and the second the 61.2m x 13.8m x 6.0m, 60 tonne bollard pull anchor handling tug supplier “Kingdom of Fife” also built in 2008. Since its delivery, the “Kingdom of Fife” has been working on Briggs’ £100 million contract to provide maintenance and mooring support for the UK’s Royal Navy. The Forth Warrior

is due for delivery in June and will be deployed in the UK and beyond……. On 20th January, Corima, part of the Italy-

based Gesmar Group, held an official handover ceremony for a Damen ASD 2810 tug. The festivities were attended by invited guests that included representatives from Ancona’s port and city authorities. The family-owned Gesmar Group is the largest towage operator in the Adriatic Sea. The Group’s scope of activities reach to providing harbor assistance duties at eight Italian ports in addition to towing, escorting and offshore towage, safety and FiFi duties at several offshore oil terminals. Following the on-time and on-budget delivery in November 2015, Corima mobilized the new 28.67m x 10.43m x 4.50m tug “Musone” in the Port of Ancona, where it provides support services

for two oil terminals and one SPM for large tankers, operated by API Refinery. The “Musone” represents an important investment for the area and will contribute to the local economy of the Ancona. In addition to its role in the oil industry, the Port of Ancona also handles significant numbers of containers and dry bulk cargo. It is also an important location for the ferry and cruise industries. Corima’s acquisition of the new tug was necessary due to infrastructure developments at the Port of Ancona. “This fleet renewal was required because the new port entrance makes it more difficult to maneuver there,” informs Riccardo Vitiello, Corima President and Managing Director Gesmar Group. “’Musone’ will replace one of our twin screw tugs, giving the fleet more flexibility and power.” Damen’s ASD 2810 is a versatile design: one that is suited to harbor-based duties as well as operations in open water. The vessel’s twin CAT 3516-HD engines deliver 1,865 kW resulting in a 60-tonne bollard pull. Corima’s tug captains will put that power to

optimum effect in what Mr Vitiello describes as the ideal towing arrangement, combining Tractor tug with ASD tug. “I think that the best towing configuration is to have a Tractor tug at the bow of the vessel and an ASD at the stern of the vessel. This way both tugs work heading forward.” Since delivery, “Musone” has been operational at both the Port of Ancona and the oil terminal, Mr Vitiello goes on to say. “The feedback I have received from our tug masters has been very positive. They have many years’ experience on a Damen 3110 so they have good criteria when comparing these tugs. They have found the ‘Musone’ much faster and more responsive during

maneuvering.”…… On 4 February 2016 the South African Navy took delivery of a second South African-built Damen ATD Tug 2909 at the naval base in Simon’s Town. Escorted by SA Navy's existing six tugs, “Inyathi” was welcomed into the fleet with a traditional sail past. “Inyathi” – meaning buffalo – is the second Damen ATD Tug 2909 in a two vessel replacement contract awarded to Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT) after a transparent tender process. The first, named “Imvubu” – meaning hippo – was delivered in July 2015. The two new tugs will be deployed for towing, mooring and fire-fighting operations for the South African Navy’s current and future fleet of vessels under all-weather, heavy sea, restricted visibility, day and night conditions within confines of the Southern African ports and in coastal waters. “Inyathi” and “Imvubu” join two Damen Stan Tugs delivered in 2006 by DSCT, then known as Farocean Marine.

Fratelli Neri S.p.A has taken delivery of a Damen ASD Tug 3212. The new 32.7m x 12.10m x 5.35m vessel, “Luisa Neri”, was handed over from Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam in the Netherlands, on 25

th

January 2016. The vessel represents two firsts: it is Fratelli Neri’s first Damen newbuild tug and it is the first ASD tug in the Mediterranean with a Damen render-recovery winch. Damen is renowned for its quick delivery times and this contract further reinforces that fact: the smooth process from contract to delivery taking just 5 months. With the vessel built for stock,

Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam carried out the final outfitting works to bring the “Luisa Neri” up to client specifications. These modifications included, amongst other things, the installation of a deck

crane and all equipment necessary to comply with FiFi 1 notation, Oil Recovery notation and Italian flag. As one of the largest tug owners in Italy, Fratelli Neri will be putting the “Luisa Neri” to use in its home port of Livorno. “With some tight turns, Livorno is well known for being quite a challenging harbor to operate in,” comments Damen Regional Sales Manager Andrea Trevisan. “The ‘Luisa Neri’ has the power – just over 80 tonnes of bollard pull – the maneuverability and the right equipment to handle these difficult escorting duties though.” “Luisa Neri” is powered by a pair of CAT 3516C-HD diesels developing a total 6,772BHP at 1,800RPM driving Rolls Royce US-255 P30 CP 2,800mm props. She is classed RINA I +Hull, +Mach Escort Tug; Supply Vessel; FiFi-1 – Water spray, Oil Rec., Unrestricted Navigation. The vessel is provided with a Damen render-recovery winch on the fore deck and a Damen tow winch on the aft deck. Both winches are designed and engineered by Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam and produced by Damen Marine Components. These winches allow operators to work in the toughest offshore conditions. The render-recovery winch on the fore deck is a double drum anchor/towing winch, with 200 meters of Dyneema towing wire on each drum. The winch is directly driven by two Hägglunds hydraulic motors connected to the main shaft. The aft towing winch is a single drum towing winch, with 750m of wire on the drum. The winch is directly driven by one Hägglunds hydraulic motor connected to the main shaft. Because the winches are not provided with gearboxes the design is very compact, robust and maintenance friendly. Each winch drum can be connected to the main shaft by means of a spring released, hydraulically engaged friction clutch fitted on the inside of the stainless steel brake drum connected to the winch drum. The use of friction clutches guarantees a safe and fast quick-release operation of the winches in all operating conditions. Each winch drum can be connected to the deck by means of a hydraulically released, spring engaged band brake fitted on the outside of the stainless steel brake drum connected to the winch drum. An accumulator with sufficient capacity to release the band brakes several times is installed in the hydraulic system to guarantee a safe and fast quick-release operation of the winches in all operating conditions. The maximum brake holding capacity is 200 tonnes. In addition to the forward mounted anchor / rendering-recovery winch, her towing gear consists of a 200 tonne brake hydraulic single drum winch aft, a Mampaey 100T SWL tow hook and a 5T capstan.

Damen’s ASD Tug 3212 has excellent sea-keeping characteristics, maneuverability and is optimized for operations in exposed waters by numerous features. The design consists of a large freeboard and more pronounced V-shaped frames in the lines of the fore ship. This, in combination with a more raised forecastle deck, ensures a relatively dry working deck. Providing high dynamic stability, the vessel’s deep skeg, bilge keels and relatively low wheelhouse ensure low accelerations for increased comfort, safety and sea-keeping performance. The fendering system has a large contact area to assure low static contact pressure and large energy absorption capacity: This guarantees a low dynamic contact pressure during impact.

Like Damen Shipyards, Fratelli Neri is a proud family-owned company with a long history. Damen’s origins go back 89 years. Neri’s activities began at the end of the 19

th century when Costante Neri was involved in the

coal trade from the U.K. He expanded operations with acquisition of a 65HP coal-powered tug to offer salvage and wreck removal services. While Fratelli Neri has previously taken delivery of a Damen Stan Tender 1905 and two second-hand Stan Tugs 2608, “Luisa Neri” is their first newbuild Damen tug. Marcon previously fixed one sale and two longterm charters on behalf of Fratelli Neri.

Serco Group contracted Damen Shipyards Group to build a powerful new tug to support the Royal Navy’s two new aircraft carriers at Portsmouth Naval Base as part of its contract to provide Marine Services to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense (UK

MOD). The vessel will be the first of its type under the UK Flag. The Damen-built ART (Advanced Rotortug®) 80-32 tug will have the maneuverability, power (80 tonnes bollard pull) and towing flexibility needed to support the 280m, 70,600mt displacement Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers, the two largest ships ever commissioned for the Royal Navy. “HMS Queen Elizabeth” and “HMS Prince of Wales” are currently under construction at Rosyth on

the River Forth in Scotland. Construction of the tug is already well underway and Serco expect to take delivery of the vessel in early 2017. Serco currently provides a wide range of marine services to the UK MOD operating out of Portsmouth, Devonport and the Scottish west coast sites at Greenock, Faslane and Kyle of Lochalsh. This includes passenger ferry, towage and nuclear safety support for the Royal Navy and visiting foreign Naval submarines and ships; oil spill response; weapons range safety vessels; pilot transfer; fuel/water/sullage/sewage; diving training support craft, including therapeutic recompression capability; worldwide support to military training; and NATO Submarine Rescue System, training and deployment platform. Serco is the UK’s largest operator of British flagged vessels and this new vessel will bring its total fleet to 115, of which 31 will be Damen-built. The Damen-built ART features a patented Rotortug® propulsion system consisting of three azimuthing thrusters which provide enhanced omni-directional maneuverability,

and the benefits of a fully redundant and precise machinery configuration. Serco has also specified a number of modifications to the Robert Allan Ltd. design to enable her to support the huge aircraft carriers. These include a double drum render/recovery aft winch for redundancy and a foldable mast for safe working under the flight deck overhang. Furthermore, like the previously built tugs, Damen is fitting the 32.9m long tug with grey fendering to match the livery of Royal Navy vessels, thus preventing marking of the hulls. They will also be installing controllable pitch propellers instead of the usual fixed pitch propellers found on other ART 80-32 vessels…… The first of a series

of three ASD TUGs 2810 Hybrid was navigated into the Den Helder harbor by the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) on Saturday, February 20th. This hybrid tug that bears the name “Noordzee” is almost 29m long and is the first standard hybrid tug supplied by Damen that the RNLN will employ. The contract for the three ASD tugs emphasizes the good cooperative partnership that exists between Damen and the RNLN, as well as their shared vision. Both parties believe in a durable future and have chosen a sustainable option with the ASD TUG 2810 Hybrid. At this time, the RNLN has four conventional tugs in Den Helder at its disposal. However, these older vessels do not have sufficient power to tow new ships such as the “HNLMS Karel Doorman”, “HNLMS Rotterdam” and “HNLMS Johan de Witt”. Furthermore, the old vessels still make use of normal propellers with rudders with a restricted maneuverability and no longer fit the vision of sustainability that the RNLN has for the future. The state-of-the-art ASD TUG 2810 Hybrid is one of Damen’s standard tugs and, with its hybrid propulsion system, is powerful and durable. The vessel is provided with two rudder propeller units for optimum maneuverability and is able to sail on full electric power by means of a set of batteries and also diesel-electric on the generator set. When full pull is required, both main diesel engines are used, giving a maximum bollard pull of 60 tonnes, ensuring that all heavy duty tug jobs can be realized. The RNLN was explicitly looking for a standard tug which was very environmentally friendly, as well as being powerful enough to realize heavy operations. The Navy contracted Damen for the project due to the fact that hybrids and sustainability are standard design concepts for Damen. In total, the RNLN, in cooperation with the Swedish Navy, has ordered five vessels, including the hybrid tugs. The two additional Swedish tugs are also of a standard design, but designed for operations in icy waters. The Noordzee was sailed by the RNLN from Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania to the port of Den Helder. The two other ships, the “Waddenzee” and the “Zuiderzee” will be delivered in mid-March and mid-June.

SAAM S.A. has placed orders with the Damen Shipyards Group for two ASD Tugs 2411. SAAM is based in Chile from where it offers towage, logistics and port services in South, Central and North America. With a fleet of nearly 200 vessels it is the largest such operator in the region. At 24m in length the ASD 2411 is a compact yet powerful vessel with a maximum bollard pull of 70 tonnes and can be found in operation all over the world. Sturdily built to a state-of-the art design, they are highly maneuverable and exceptionally reliable. Damen and SAAM have known each other for many years. A joint venture between SAAM and Smit ordered an ASD Tug 2913 in 2015 for operations in Panama. Additionally, SAAM operates three Damen Stan Tugs purchased between 1995 and 1999. These were ordered through René Berkvens, then Damen sales manager responsible for Chile and now CEO of the Damen Shipyards Group. SAAM representatives flew to Damen’s shipyard in Vietnam, where the two vessels had been built and were then being held in stock, to inspect them. The contract was signed the following day for delivery just three months later, including all the required modifications. The representatives selected the Damen vessels based on their combination of high build and service quality, flexibility and fast delivery times. Damen is also arranging the transport from Vietnam

on a heavy lift vessel and is supplying a number of additional services including crew training in Chile. The duties of the vessels will be Harbour operations in Chile. Mr. Pablo Caceres, Fleet Technical Manager of SAAM Towage, commented: "It is very exciting to introduce these two ASD 2411 tugs to the fleet of more than 185 tugboats that SAAM operates today around the Americas. We are looking forward to seeing the performance and high operational effectiveness for which Damen is well known and, of course, to seeing our clients appreciating these qualities as

well."……Iskes Towage & Salvage took delivery of a new Damen ASD 2411 in November 2015. In its first 100 days, the tug has been performing vessel assistance duties in the locks and canals around the Dutch Ports of Amsterdam and Ijmuiden. Three months after delivery of the “Venus”, the captain and crew give their comments about the new member of the fleet. Home to a cross-section of industries, the two ports see a wide variety of vessel types and sizes. For Iskes Managing Director Jim Iskes, combining power with minimal dimensions was an important factor. “We needed a compact tug that could work in the Ijmuiden locks – but also a versatile one that could handle anything.” Talking about the vessel acquisition process, Mr Iskes’ experiences with Damen are clear: “You call them with what you want and they organize it. Then you get the key and you’re on your way. Of course, any new build has problems to start off, but Damen sorts them out. It’s top quality – what every ship owner really wants.” The Damen ASD 2411 combines advantages of various tug designs. It has an impressive 70-tonne bollard pull for a 24m tug. The “Venus”, part of Iskes’ twelve-strong fleet operating out of Amsterdam, has assisted a wide variety of vessels since her delivery. In fact, her first ever job was helping a 280m bulk carrier out into the open sea and her second was handling a small fishing trawler. The vessel’s captain, Auke de Haan, has worked for Iskes for six years, mainly on larger, but less powerful, tugs however. “I had my doubts about working on this relatively smaller tug, but these have turned out to be unfounded. We work a lot over the bow, towing in reverse, but her stern rises nicely out of the water with great course stability. She’s very maneuverable and can handle the power well thanks to the slipping clutches. I can perform maneuvers with only 10 revs on the prop.” While Captain De Haan is pleased with the visibility he has from the bridge, he does have some important feedback for

Damen concerning the levels of comfort there. “The bridge could be more spacious,” he comments. “For example, there’s a good chair for the Captain, but only a simple bench for my crew.” Below in the engine room, Wilco Wittekoek, the “Venus’” Engineer, is well placed to comment on how the “Venus” has performed in her first 3 months of service. “She’s nice and quiet,” he says. “There’s quite a lot of electronics down here compared to some of the older tugs that I’ve worked on, but that’s unavoidable these days. And, being an engineer, it’s a shame that you can’t do much work on the engine. That all happens via the laptop. However, the shore support that we get from Caterpillar is very handy. Collecting and analyzing data in this way really contributes to keeping the ship tip-top….”

The Royal Moroccan Navy has taken delivery in December of a Damen Stan Tug 2208. The 22.53m long x 7.84m beam x 3.74m depth / 2.98m draft multi-functional vessel, named “Al Mounkid” (Hull 509660), takes the honor of being the first tug to join Morocco’s sizeable naval fleet. The twin screw tug is powered by a pair of 1,015kW CAT 3512C-TA diesels driving fixed pitch props in kort nozzle develops a total of 2,760BHP and bollard pull of about 40 tonnes. The delivery marks yet another step forward in the history

In early 2015, Robert Allan Ltd., was awarded a contract to provide four customized versions of its distinctive RAzer series designs of ASD tugs to the

Indonesia Port Corporation, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero), commonly known as Pelindo III. While Robert Allan Ltd. had long been very active in the Asian market, these designs were its first directly for a company from Indonesia, a country estimated to employ more than 2,000 tug boats. From its Surabaya headquarters, Pelindo III manages 43 harbors in seven provinces - East Java, Central Java, South Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. To ensure designs especially suited

to these ports, the Robert Allan Ltd. design team visited Surabaya to observe local ship-handling operations, and worked closely with the company’s Operations Department on these particular requirements. The latest development specialized RAzer series was chosen, and further customized as

the RAzer 2623, 2935, 2940 and 2960 (3, 6, 4 and 2 boats respectively) to allow Pelindo III to provide updated towage services throughout the provinces, and each well-suited to the demands of the individual areas. The RAZer series

tugs are high performance azimuthing stern-drive (ASD) tugs optimized for ship-handling and escort duties within the confined spaces of busy ports. The design features a generous freeboard to ensure a high degree of stability, while keeping the superstructure low and well aft to enhance safe working under the flared hull of ships. The tugs will range from 26 to 29m in length and with

bollard pulls from 23 to 60 tonnes. Two local shipyards, PT. Daya Radar

Utama in Jakarta and PT. Dumas Tanjung Perak Shipyards in Surabaya were selected to build the tugs. Construction work is well in progress and the first new tug will be in service in Pelindo III’s territory later this year.

Tug is powered by a pair of CAT 3516C Tier 3 marine diesels developing a total of 5,150BHP at 1,600RPM (B rating). These drive twin Schottel SRP 1215FP props. Towing gear consists of a Markey Machinery DEPCF-48S 50HP Fairleader electric hawser winch with a 36” wide drum and mid-drum brake holding capacity of 300,000lbs. The U.S. flag tug is classed ABS +A1, Towing Vessel, AMS, Escort Service…..The sister-escort tug (photo left) and first of the four being built, the

“H. Douglas M” (Hull ESG 236) also was delivered to Bay-Houston Towing on 5

th February, after her launching last November. The Bay-Houston Towing Co.

has been involved in ships and boats in Texas waters since Capt. W. D. Haden joined the schooner “Mermaid” as cabin boy in 1875. The redoubtable Capt. Haden would later purchase the “Mermaid” and sail as Master. The schooner carried building supplies from Galveston to Cedar Bayou, Texas. Capt. Haden began using a mule team to tow his vessel (and others) up Cedar Bayou, his first foray into towing. In the early 1890s Capt. Haden acquired his first steam tug, the “Rosemond”, which he used to transport reef shell on Galveston Bay. In 1948, C.R. Haden merged two Texas based towing companies Bay Towing Co.

and Houston Towing Co. into the present Bay-Houston Towing Co. The same family has owned the company for over a century, with the fifth generation now working on the tugboats. Bay-Houston Towing Co. offers one of the most versatile fleets of tugs in the Gulf of Mexico, offering assist and escort services in the ports of Houston, Galveston, Texas City, Freeport, and Corpus Christi. After operating in the Gulf for the last 120 plus years, Bay-Houston Towing is planning for their next century by investing many millions of dollars in the future……Eastern is also constructing another identical series of four Z-Tech 2400 terminal escort assist tugs for

Suderman & Young Towing Company. G&H Towing Company is the Owners’ onsite Representative and Agent during the engineering, construction and delivery for both Bay-Houston and

Suderman & Young. G&H Towing Company will operate the vessels after delivery. “Neptune” (ESG Hull #237), the second of this series of four tugs being constructed for Suderman & Young, was launched on 5

th January 2016 Eastern’s Nelson Street facility

and is scheduled to be delivered during the second quarter of this year. The lead vessel “Triton” (ESG Hull #235) was delivered in December 2015 and is already in service in Texas. G&H Towing's fleet currently consists of eight Z Tech tugs in operation.…… Eastern Shipbuilding delivered the azimuthing reverse tractor tug “Archie T. Higgins” (ESG Hull #176) to

Bisso Offshore, LLC (E.N. Bisso & Son, Inc.). on 14th December. Upon arrival in Louisiana and at the mouth of the

Mississippi River, the vessel went right to work escorting its first ship northbound to New Orleans. “Archie T. Higgins” is the fourth 96.0’ x 34.0’ x 14.8’ depth / 14.0’ draft reverse tractor tug design delivered to Bisso Offshore since 2007. Tug is powered by CAT 3516Cs developing a total of 4,000BHP and bollard pull of abt. 55 tons. All are from same Z-drive tug design provided

by Jensen Maritime Consultants of Seattle, Washington. The previous three Bisso Offshore tugs constructed and delivered by Eastern Shipbuilding Group were the “Josephine Anne”, “Beverly B” and “Elizabeth B”. E.N. Bisso is owned by fifth generation family descendants of Captain Joseph Bisso who

innovatively founded the company by launching a ferry service to row people across the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans. The company can trace these early days back to 1880 and the oars in their logo are a salute to their origins. This enterprise quickly expanded to employ the use of steam-powered ferries and tugs. The ferry business grew into a sizable venture and was eventually sold to the State of Louisiana. In 1946, the company was split up and Captain Edwin Napoleon Bisso formed his own company with six tugs and two heavy-lift derricks, later naming it E.N. Bisso & Son.

In January, Danish shipping company Thorco Shipping A/S of Copenhagen shipped a couple of heavy tugs, of abt. 330mt displacement and 23m long, from China to Venezuela. The tugs were built at a shipyard in South China, close to Guangzhou, and loaded onto their 148.0m x 23.4m, 19,617mtdw general cargo ship “Thorco Isadora” (2 x 240mt cranes combi 480mt lift) in Nansha. The client was a Venezuelan company specializing within this field. The tugs will be used for both for offshore purposes i.e. for oil and gas client exploration, barging rigs, cranes etc. as well as for port mooring operations along the nearby Venezuelan coast line. The tugs were

successfully discharged in the beginning of March in La Guaira, Venezuela. Thorco is currently working on the next shipment.

Turkish transport and heavy-lift operator Tork Industrial Logistics Solutions has delivered a consignment of six tugboats for use in an offshore terminal. The tugs each weighed 800 tonnes and were delivered from the shipyard to the floating dock over a period of six months. The boats measured 32 meters in length and will be used for support services at an offshore terminal as well as towage and firefighting purposes. A project team of 10 heavy-lift specialists from Tork relied on two separate heavy-duty prime movers utilizing 32 axles lines for the transportation. Tork Industrial Logistics Solutions is based in Gebze, Turkey, and provides heavy-lift and breakbulk services throughout the region. The firm operates a fleet that includes more than 10 heavy duty-tractors, various transport attachments and also a 1,100-ton gantry crane.

The “Iron Guppy”, a new custom 20m (65') ice breaking tug designed by

Robert Allan Ltd. of Vancouver is taking shape at Hike Metal Products

Ltd. in Wheatley, Ontario. The tug is under construction for Ports

Toronto and will replace the 1961 vintage, 18.53m x 5.64m, 560HP single screw tug “William Rest” (photo lower right) built by Erieau Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. Ltd. which has served the port well for many years. “Iron Guppy” was named by Waterfront Elementary School students from a long list of names developed by students from kindergarten up to Grade 6. The new tug carries over some of the old tug's characteristics such as size,

power, and single fixed pitch propeller that the crew have become accustomed to. With a special ice breaking bow it will be able to break at least 6 inches of ice continuously and up to 10" ramming. It will be powered by a single 750HP Cummins QSK19-M engine turning a 53" five-bladed propeller. Bollard pull will be 6 tons. It is arranged for a crew of up to 6 persons and is fitted out as a "day boat" with a large crew lounge and pantry but no overnight accommodations. The wheelhouse will have excellent visibility all around including to the quick release towing hook on the aft deck. Delivery is expected sometime in June 2016.

Last November, Havyard Ship Technology AS named its newbuilding Hull 122, the ice breaker “Aleut”, two years after signing the contract with the Russian shipping company FEMCO for the design and construction of three sister-vessels for long-term operation in the Arctic under extremely low temperatures. The 86.7m x 19.5m x 9.0m depth / 7.25m draft “Aleut” is the first of the Havyard 843 Ice Icebreaking offshore vessels being built to operate under some of the harshest conditions imaginable supporting the Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora

Sea between the Russian mainland and Novaya Zemlya (1720 map lower left) in the Russian arctic. In addition to being an advanced anchor-handling vessel with platform supply functions, the 2,600mtdw “Aleut” is designed and built to operate under extreme arctic conditions. Among other things, the DP-2 dynamically positioning ship has icebreaker class and with her two 3,000bkW Bergen B32:40L6A and two 4,000bkW Bergen B32:40L8PCD diesels, she has the engine power that allows it to break one-meter-thick ice at 3 knots, and a de-icing system

so that it can withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. “Aleut’s” maneuverability is enhanced by two 1,000kW bow and two 1,000kW stern thrusters. Another of the ship's extreme qualities is its ability to ram into and break ice ridges with 8m-thick ice under water. During the sea trial, the speed was measured at 16 knots and bollard pull at 201 tonnes. Accommodations are provided for 34 persons. Vessels are dual classed DnV (+) 1A1 Fire fighter(I) Icebreaker Offshore service vessel +AHTS, Clean(Design) Comf(V-3) DAT(-30 degree C) DK(+) DYNPOS(AUTR) E0 HL(2.8) Ice(10) Naut(OSV(A)) OilRec SF Winterized(Cold), -30 degree C) and RMR – Russian Maritime Register KM* Arc5 AUT1 OMBO FF3WS DYNPOS-1 Eco-S Winterization (-30).

A new class of RAstar escort tugs has been initiated by Sanmar

Shipyard of Tuzla, Turkey and Robert Allan Ltd. Sanmar A.Ş. delivered the Robert Allan Ltd. designed RAstar 3200W escort tugs “Civitavecchia” (Hull No. 55) and “Saraceno Primo” (Hull No. 56) to Italian tugboat

operator Italtugs S.p.A. to close out the very busy tug-building year of 2015. This latest delivery is the first vessel of the Sanmar Ulucay class tugboat which is based on the RAstar 3200W design. The tugs were constructed at Sanmar’s Tuzla facility. The RAstar Offshore/Escort Tugs designation is reserved for a unique class of ASD tugs, designed with a sponsoned hull form, a concept originated by Robert Allan Ltd. 20

years ago, and which has been proven in both model and full-scale testing to provide significantly enhanced escort towing and sea-keeping performance. Motions and accelerations are less than half those of comparable sized “standard” tug hulls. It is interesting to note that others are now attempting to emulate this concept. “Civitavecchia” and “Saraceno Primo” are the first of the latest evolution of the remarkably successful RAstar tug series, now entering its 20th year of ongoing progressive development. Robert Allan Ltd. worked very closely with Sanmar A.Ş. to develop this new class of 80-90 tonne bollard pull tugs, targeted at the European market. The new RAstar 3200W class design was tailored to provide ultimate operational flexibility and a level of safety and redundancy not achievable with a smaller vessel. Specific features include a very low profile, wide beam, and shortened forecastle deck while maintaining the sea keeping and escorting

capabilities of the RAstar class. With space and volume at a premium, accommodation, locker, and deck arrangements were optimized for utility. Unique additions include a bow thruster and deck crane to aid in oil recovery operations. With an emphasis on technology and quality, this class of tug was fitted with top of the line equipment and constructed with crew comfort as a priority. True workhorses, these vessels have been designed to carry 210m³ fuel oil and 63m³ potable water for extended endurance, estimated upwards of 2,700nm cruising at 11 knots.

Tugs are powered by a pair of 2,555bkW MAN-B&W 7L27/38 main engines developing a total of 6,472HP at 800RPM and driving Rolls Royce 2.8m dia. US 25 CP azimuthing props. Towing gear consists of a high performance 200 tonne brake tow winch aft for salvage & towing, a 90 tonne SWL tow hook, heavy duty tow bitt and 100 tonnes SWL flush gob eye. Forward is a 200 tonne brake, double drum, high-performance escort winch, escort staple, quick release tow hook for towing & ship assist operations off the bow and two vertical anchor windlasses. A FiFi1 class fire-fighting system by FFS is main engine driven via Kumera gearboxes and feeds two monitors at the forward end of the bridge deck and a water spray system. On sea trials,

both tugs demonstrated excellent maneuverability and directional stability, achieving bollard pulls of 85.0 tonnes and 81.1 tonnes respectively ahead and astern and free running speeds of 14.9kn and 14.8kn ahead and astern. Tugs have been classed RINA C +Hull, +Mach, Escort Tug, FiFi Ship-1, Water-Spraying, Salvage Tug, Oil Rec Ship – F.P. >60 deg. C, Unrestricted Navigation, Aut-UMS, In Water Survey. Accommodation is provided for a crew of 10 persons in six cabins, all with en suite facilities. Italtugs S.p.A. is a relatively new (and at the same time old) tug company recently formed from a merger of towage & port services of Augustea, Scafi and Cafimar – all originally part of the Cafiero shipping group which can trace its history in shipping back to the 17

th century.

Although they have built previous Voith tractors, the “Ares” (Hull 69) is Sanmar’s first VSP (Voith Schneider Propeller) tractor tug, of the VectRA 3000 design developed

exclusively for Sanmar by the Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd. in close

collaboration with the shipyard and Voith Turbo Propulsion. “Ares”, being

constructed for Italian tug operator Tripmare S.p.A. of Trieste, was launched in February at Sanmar Shipyard in Altinova, Turkey. This design contains many innovative ideas from both the builder and designer aimed at developing a cost-effective VSP tug for the world market. Sanmar’s brief to Robert Allan Ltd. was to create a VSP tug under 500 GRT which would incorporate high-speed engines, a clutch between thruster and engine, electronic controls and be fully MLC 2006 compliant for all crew accommodation. The challenges therefore focused on the machinery design and overall layout. “Ares” measures 30.25m in length with a moulded beam of 13.00m, depth of 5.10m and a navigational draft of 6.30m to the bottom skeg / VSP guard. GRT is <500 international. The most unique aspect is the propulsion arrangement. Driving the forward located Voith type 32-R5 250 cycloid propellers are a pair of CAT 3516C high speed diesels, each developing 2,525kW at 1,800RPM and a

total of 6,866HP. Instead of the traditional Voith Turbo coupling, the engines are connected to Voith 32R5EC/265-2 cycloidal propellers through a pair of Reintjes model WAF 863 clutch & reduction gearboxes and Vulkan composite shafts. This reduces transmission losses, increasing the overall propulsion efficiency, and enabling the drives to be de-clutched at idle, significantly reducing fuel burn. Using high-speed engines also significantly reduces space occupied by drive machinery and of course results in much lower weight, allowing a finer more efficient hull for the same deadweight. Installed cost is also significantly reduced. This machinery combination will drive the hull at a predicted speed of not less than 12.5 knots. With a bollard pull of 70 tonnes, the VectRA 3000 can generate escort steering forces in excess of 100 tonnes. This tug also incorporates the new electronic Voith Remote Control™ system. This control is set up to work in a combinator mode whereby both rev/min and pitch increase together at a pre-defined ‘ramp up’. It is believed that this is the first installation of high speed engines with VSP drives in conjunction with the Voith Electronic Control System. Just like ASD tugs, this combination lets the captain to clutch-off the thrusters when the tug stays at idle hence

saves fuel. Tankage includes 163m3 fuel, 55m3 fresh water and 11m3 foam. The flush deck layout is relatively conventional for a Voith Tractor, but in compliance with Maritime Labor Convention 2006, all accommodation is on the main deck, with two single cabins for officers, two single cabins for petty officers and one double cabin for crew, each with private en-suite facilities. All towing, ship handling, and escort work is performed using a double drum escort winch and escort rated staple fitted on the aft deck. The VectRA 3000 is equipped with a DMT TW-H 800kN hydraulic double drum winch with tension indication. The winch is also provided with hydraulic operated friction clutches. First drum has a capacity of 710m 54mm wire at 10 layers whereas the second drum has a capacity of 150m 94mm nylon rope at 6 layers. Both drums have tonne brakes. For increased operational flexibility radial type tow hooks are installed fore and aft. As in a traditional tractor configuration, the stern is the working end of the tug, and as such features heavy duty cylindrical fendering with ‘W’ fenders below. Hollow ‘D’ fenders protect the sheer lines and tie neatly into the ‘W’ fenders at the bow. “Ares” is classed ABS +A1 Towing Vessel, Escort Vessel, +AMS, Unrestricted, ABCU, Fi-Fi1, OilRec Class 2 (>60 deg C), HAB(WB), UWILD. Vessel is fully compliant with Italian Flag and MLC 2006 regs. The vessel is also designed according to ABS Habitability workboat (HAB(WB)) notation, which requires specific attention to decrease vibration and sound levels. This is the first Sanmar vessel constructed in compliance with this notation.

Danish towage specialist Svitzer ordered two additional ASD tugs from Sanmar to service the Ichthys LNG project in Darwin, Australia. The RAstar 2800 harbor terminal tugs will have an 80-tonne bollard pull and equipped with a render/recovery winch, aft winch, FIFI-1 and LNG package. Delivery is scheduled for 2017 when they will join two existing vessels in assisting LNG, LPG and condensate carriers at the port. Besides towage, tugs will provide safety standby, emergency and environment incident response, FiFi and salvage ops. In August 2015, Svitzer ordered six RAstar 2800-E Class ASD tugs from Sanmar with delivery starting fourth quarter 2016. These vessels are being built to fulfil current and upcoming new contracts in various terminal towage markets.

The first of three 70 tonnes bollard pull RAmparts 2400SX tugs, ordered May

2015 by the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates from Sanmar of Turkey, has now entered service. “Jabal Yabsa”, which is the 16th vessel of this well proven class, measures 24.4m in length with a moulded beam of 11.25m and an overall draft of 5.87m. It is capable of a free running speed of 13kn. Propulsion is provided by Caterpillar 3516C main diesel engines, each developing 2,100kW at 1,600RPM, coupled to Rolls-Royce US 255 FP type Z-drives. The main engines also power the pumps that feed the external fire-fighting system, which complies with the ABS FiFi1 notation, and includes twin FFS monitors located at the forward end of the bridge deck. The main winch, by

DMT, is mounted on the vessel’s fore deck. The RAmparts 2400 SX tug, also known as the “Bogacay” class, is an exclusive Sanmar design from the Robert Allan Limited team of naval architects. The design of “Jabal Yabsa” is based on an intended low-manning operation, facilitated by a high degree of machinery automation The ceremony took place in Fujairah in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Saleh Bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Chairman, Department of

Industry & Economy, Government of Fujairah ...... Port Otago Limited (POL) of New Zealand (POL) entered into a contract with Sanmar in December 2015 to build a Robert Allan design RAscal 1800 Class ASD Tugboat; 18m and 30 ton bollard pull.

POL commenced channel dredging during 2015 with the aim to have a maintained channel depth of 14m; the work is being undertaken using the Port Otago owned and operated 58.3m x 11.1m x 3.5m dredge “New Era”. This vessel will be primarily used for maneuvering a 750m3 split hopper barge that will work alongside the dredge. Added to this the new tug will be available as required for ship assist duties and possible external charter opportunities. The new tug will be named “Arihi”, with the

name chosen in consultation with the local Runanga representative body. “Arihi” was last March. The RAscal 1800 Class ASD Tug design is a result of high level of cooperation between both operational and construction teams of Sanmar and the designers at Robert Allan Ltd. The vessel is expected to achieve a 30 tonne bollard pull, with a speed of 12 knots. She measures 18.7m x 9.2m with a draft of 3.7m. The vessel is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C32 main engines, each developing 970kW at 1,800RPM driving Veth VZ-900 azimuth drives with carbon composite shafts turning 1,700mm dia propellers. The first two sister vessels of this design are in operation at Sanmar’s own fleet. “Arihi” will be delivered to POL in May upon completion.

Following the delivery in December 2015 of the first two 30.3m x 10.4m x 4.45m depth tugs "VB Ouragan" (Hull 82) and "VB Cyclone" (Hull 83) of a

series commissioned by Boluda France, subsidiary of Boluda Corporation

Maritima, in April the shipyard Piriou delivered two new units – the "VB Typhon" (Hull 88) and "VB Tempete" (Hull 89). Built by Piriou Vietnam in Ben Luc with a standard design by Piriou including Boluda’s proposed adaptations, they will also be deployed in St Nazaire and Dunkerque. The tugs are powered by a pair of 1,758kW ABS 8DZC diesels developing a total of abt. 4,084HP at 1,000RPM providing a bollard pull of abt. 70 tonnes at 100% MCR and free running speed of 12.5kn.

Holland Shipyard BV of Hardinxveld-Giessendam currently has under construction the Carrousel Rave design, 75 tonne bollard pull, Eddy Tug 24-75 design “Telstar” (Hull HS2015-

027) for Iskes & Zoon BV of Ijmuiden, Netherlands. The new hybrid, 25.4m x 12.2m x 6.77m depth / 5.505m draft tug is powered by twin Mitsubishi S16R-MPTK driving Veth VZ1800 props. The Rave tug design is a new concept for a highly maneuverable, high-performance

escort and ship-handling tug jointly developed by Robert Allan Ltd. and Voith Turbo

Marine. The unique characteristic of the Rave concept is the longitudinal alignment of two Voith drives in contrast to the more conventional transverse configuration. After delivery the

tug will operate in the port of Ijmuiden. (graphic left showing placement of Voith drives as example only).

Construction continues on Harley Marine’s “Earl W. Redd” (Hull 34), with the hull now in

drydock at Diversified Marine in Portland, Oregon (photo left). The vessel will be fitted with the first Caterpillar Tier 4 engine in a tug. Tier 4 standards will require significant emission reductions of particulate matter (PM) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). PM is defined as the black smoke/soot found in engine diesel engine exhaust, and NOx is defined as nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide……Harley Marine has announced the construction of two new ship handling vessels also to be built at Diversified Marine in Portland, Oregon. The tugs will be sister class vessels to the “Michelle Sloan” (photo right) and “Lela Franco” and will enhance the company’s fleet presence on the West Coast. The tugs will each have a length of 80’, beam of 36’ and depth of 16’-8”, and are capable of producing 70 short tons of bollard pull. Each vessel is equipped with two CAT 3516 Tier 3 diesels for a total of approx. 5,200HP, and two

Caterpillar C7.1, Tier 3 generators. These cutting edge engines reduce NOx and particulate matter from Tier 2 models by 74%. The vessels are each equipped with a Markey bow winch, a barge handling stern winch, and Shibata fendering. In addition, for crew protection, sound proofing material has been added to the bulkheads and decks to improve the quality of life onboard the vessels. A closed-circuit TV system will be installed in the engine rooms and can be accessed from the wheelhouse or ashore for management to monitor. The vessels are being built with the most technically and environmentally advanced equipment available and will exceed all regulatory, internal and customers’ needs and expectations. Harley Franco, Chairman and CEO of Harley Marine Services announced last week, “It gives me great pleasure to name these two tugs after our long-time board member, Rich Padden and the esteemed, Dr. Hank Kaplan of Swedish Cancer Institute”. The vessels will be named “Rich Padden” and “Dr. Hank Kaplan”.

Jensen Maritime, Crowley Maritime Corp.’s Seattle-based naval architecture

and engineering firm, designed a new high performance “tractor” tug for Vessel

Chartering LLC that features some of the first Tier IV engines meeting higher federal air emissions standards among U.S. tugboats. The multipurpose

“tractor” tug, which is being built by JT Marine of Vancouver, Washington, was jointly developed by Vessel Chartering LLC and Jensen. The 110’ long vessel will feature the ship assist and escort capabilities of smaller harbor tugs, while delivering the improved towing performance and increased range of larger ocean-going tugs. The escort capability was enhanced to provide support for assisting large, 18,000 TEU containerships due to an increased future demand in West Coast ports of call. The design offers the flexibility to support ship escorts, assists and towing. The engines are designed to meet federal Tier IV

standards, which incorporate emissions-reducing performance requirements by the EPA. To meet the requirements, the two engines on this vessel use systems that clean exhaust gases after they have left the engines. This is the third tug designed by Jensen with engines meeting the Tier IV requirement. With new ballast water treatment requirements on the horizon from the EPA and U.S. Coast Guard, tug was designed without any ballast tanks, thereby eliminating the need for ballast water discharge and the potential transfer of invasive species. In lieu of ballast tanks, the tug will transfer fuel, as necessary, in order to maintain proper trim. “The development of the Tier IV engines for this tug demonstrates our commitment to innovative, environmentally friendly design while continuing to deliver powerful, high-quality performance,” said Johan Sperling, vice president, Jensen Maritime. “This tug will meet our industry’s demands for strong, yet nimble vessels with the quality design people expect from us.” Tug is planned for delivery in second

quarter 2017 to Vessel Chartering, a wholly owned division of Baydelta Navigation Ltd. The vessel, which will be 40’ wide, will be powered by a pair of 3,385HP Caterpillar 3516 Tier IV engines. With an electrically powered, double drum tow winch aft by Rapp USA and an electrically powered hawser winch forward by Markey Machinery as deck machinery, the vessel will be capable of a 93.5 short-ton bollard pull. Both winches’ electrical power will remove any chance of a hydraulic oil spill on deck. Tug is designed to carry up to 123,000g fuel, 4,300g fresh water, and up to 4,500g urea, which is used for treatment of the main engine exhausts in order to meet emissions requirements. A water maker is being installed for potable water when out at sea. A large pilot house will provide all-around visibility, and the deckhouse has an open feel with a large mess and lounge area along with accommodations for a 10-person crew.

Crowley Maritime Corp.’s Seattle-based naval architecture and marine

engineering company, Jensen Maritime, was recently selected to provide detailed design services including stability, structure and systems design for two

100’ x 40’, escort tugs for McAllister Towing of New York. The 12kn, 6,770HP

tugs will be constructed at Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc., in Bayou LaBatre, Alabama., and are scheduled for delivery in 2017. The “Brian A. McAllister” and the “Rosemary McAllister” will be the 31st and 32nd ocean going escort/rescue tugboats in the fleet respectively, but will be the first that are Tier IV, meaning they utilize high-efficiency catalytic after-treatment technology to reduce emissions. Powered by twin Z-drive propulsion units, the tugs will have an approx. bollard pull of 90 short tons, making them suitable for offshore service, ship assist, escort, maneuvering and docking. Both tugs will be Load Lined and Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping as +A1, Towing, Escort, +AMS,

and FFV-1. “Since 2001, Jensen has designed 13 tugs for McAllister’s fleet,” said Johan Sperling, VP, Jensen. “Their continued reliance on our knowledgeable naval architecture and marine engineering services proves that we are a trusted and effective, long-term partner for fleet development and refurbishments.”

In March 2016, the Macduff Ship Design Tweed 13 design 13.0m x 5.4m x 2.47m depth

twin screw line handler “Hamyari” (photo right) built by Sepehr Shipyard in Iran was completed and has undergone her trials performing to expectations. This is the first completed vessel of a total order of four which are to be built…… In February 2016, the

"Marsden Bay" was delivered and has entered service for North Tugz at Northport in

New Zealand. The 17m tug (photo left) was built by Boustead Langkawi Shipyard Sdn

Bhd of Malaysia. The vessel was originally based on the incredibly successful "Sally Mcloughlin", however this new design, produced to the specific requirements of North Tugz, increased the overall size of the vessel to 17m length x 8m breadth and 3.6m depth. Boasting an impressive 28 tonne bollard pull, the tug is driven by two CAT C32 main engines complete with fixed kort nozzles. Deck machinery comprises a forward towing winch with 30 tonne capacity, a 30 tonne aft tow hook, 2 tonne tugger winch, deck crane with a 2.65 tonne capacity at 7.9m, a hydraulic windlass and a capstan on the aft port deck, making the "Marsden Bay" a highly capable vessel in the class of small harbor tugs, more than able to carry out her standard towing, pushing, surveying

and lifting operations. The tug is classed under BV and also built to conform to the stability regulations of Maritime New Zealand. "Marsden Bay" is designed to be operated by a crew of two with overnight accommodation on board and large fuel and water capacities giving the vessel a lengthy endurance……Also in February, the first

14.9m McDuff design service vessel (photo right) built by RMK Marine in Turkey was delivered. This build is part of a larger order for five 10.10m mooring tugs, two service

vessels and two 19m tugs. The first vessel performed to expectations at trials achieving all the owners requirements including a 16 knot

service speed……In December 2015, Colombo

Dockyard launched their 13.0m x 5.4m x 2.47m depth twin screw tug “Femunu” (photo left). Tug is a repeat of the successful “Fair Maid of Perth”, designed by Macduff Ship Design and built by Macduff Shipyards in 2006……Last November, the "TSM Chausey" (Hull 194), a third

vessel (photo right) for Thomas Services

Maritimes / Thomas Louis of Rouen,

France was completed by Machinefabriek Padmos Stellendam. The tug was built using the same hull form of the previous 20.35m x 18.90m x 3.60m depth "TSM Brehat" (Hull 188) developed by Macduff and built in 2013 by the same shipyard. This new vessel has been slightly altered with a larger aluminum superstructure allowing for extra mess, galley and accommodation space. Both BV classed tugs are powered by twin 1,040kW Mitsubishi S12R-MPTAW diesels driving azimuthing drives and developing a bollard pull of 32 tonnes.

Gunderson Marine, LLC of Portland, Oregon, a division of

Greenbrier Companies, Inc., has received an order from

Seattle-based Harley Marine Services, Inc. to build two articulated ocean-going barges. The order is for two 430' barges, each with an 82,000 barrel carrying capacity. Gunderson most recently delivered a barge to Harley Marine in 2009, the 289’ x 78’ x 24’, 50,139bbl “Webb Moffett” (photo right). Construction on the barges will begin by mid-2016, with delivery of both vessels scheduled to occur during the second half of 2017. Over the past nine months Greenbrier, through Gunderson Marine, delivered two 578' articulated ocean-going barges for chemical and oil service. With the current orders, Gunderson Marine is responding to new barge demand for transporting refined products across U.S. waterways from coastal refineries. Operating from the largest side launch on the West Coast, Gunderson is the only shipyard on the West Coast experienced in building large, articulated tug barges.

“Giano” is the name chosen for a totally concept of double ended / double hulled, tunnel hull patented design tug which has an innovative hull form and thruster configuration. The compact tug is designed and built solely for ship handling with the experience of the past to create a safer and more efficient tool for the future. After four years of research and development, the first tug of this class, the 25.75m x 13.02m x 5.20m depth / 5.30m “Giano” (Hull HY-2200) was built in 2015 by

Guangdong Bonny

Fair Heavy

Industry, Ltd. of Guangzhou, China

for Purple Water Ltd. “Giano” is powered by twin 1,678kW CAT 3512C-HD diesels developing a total power of 4,562HP at 1,800RPM. A Schottel SRP-3000 azimuthing drive with a controllable pitch prop is mounted in a straight line at each end with the tunnel hull specifically designed eliminate propeller interference.

With her unique high displacement tunnel hull form and intuitive handling controls, this gives the tug a 55 tonnes bollard pull in all directions at full power with 0 degree list and a side-stepping speed of 7kn when assisting vessels in confined spaces true 360 degree maneuverability. A 70 tonne bollard pull version is available as an option. Tug can work equally well from the bow or stern and is fitted with the towing points of an escort winch fore & aft. Two separate engine rooms, a separate generator room and a double hull with integral “W” heavy duty underwater fendering provides a level of safety.

Wärtsilä’s fourth quarter 2015 order intake decreased 8% to Euro 1,403 million (Euro 1,522), while 2015’s order intake decreased 3% to Euro 4,932 million (Euro 5,084). Wärtsilä expects net sales for 2016 to grow by 0-5% and operational profitability (EBIT% before non-recurring items) to be 12.5-13.0%. Jaakko Eskola, President & CEO: “A solid fourth quarter and continued growth in service volumes supported us in reaching our targets for the year 2015. Net sales grew by 5% and profitability reached 12.2%.

Furthermore, the quarterly order intake in the equipment businesses improved sequentially towards year end. Given

the challenging operating environment we can be pleased with our performance…….Looking into 2016, we expect

the market situation to remain similar to that seen during the previous year. The favorable development of

service activity is expected to continue, while conditions in energy markets will remain challenging and the

demand for new vessels limited due to overcapacity and low oil prices. Despite our cautious market outlook, we remain well positioned to benefit from the trends of increasing demand for efficiency and changing energy needs. Digitalization will increasingly drive our business, as we utilize data analytics to further optimize our customers’ operations, and our own internal processes and performance. Based on our solid order book and project pipeline, a growing Services business and our focus on continuous improvement, we expect to see some growth in sales and operating margins in the coming year.” In marine markets, contracting activity remained under pressure. Low oil prices reduced exploration and development, which resulted in a sharp decline in demand for offshore vessels. At the same time, the shipping industry continues to suffer from overcapacity and low freight rates. While Wärtsilä’s broad market exposure and extensive offering enabled them to navigate the current shipbuilding cycle relatively

well, flexibility to adapt to changes in market dynamics is needed and Wärtsilä is realigning their Marine Solutions organization which means the reduction of approx.. 600 jobs (announced last July 2015). The decision to adjust capacity is never made lightly, but it sometimes becomes necessary in order to maintain a competitive position in the global market. A key target is to grow faster than the global GDP.

Demand in shipbuilding and shipping industries is mainly driven by developments within the global economy

and the resulting impact on trade and transportation capacity requirements. The global economy influences fuel prices, which in turn has both a direct and an indirect impact on marine and oil & gas industries. Price, availability, and demand for fuel drives development in the oil & gas industry, while in the general shipping industry, fuel costs increase demand for efficient vessels. Other factors, such as shipyard capacity, newbuild prices, decommissioning and scrapping, and interest and freight rates, also affect these industries. Global demand for new vessels drives Wärtsilä’s Marine Solutions business, in particular ships built for seaborne cargo transport, offshore drilling, production & support, cruise & ferry services, and for naval use. Another important driver is development of environmental regulations and the impact on demand for optimized vessel efficiency, environmental solutions, and gas as a marine fuel. As with most engine manufacturers, shipyards, owners & operators, following are drivers for Wärtsilä's Marine Solutions business:

Developments in the global economy

Development of world trade and needed transportation capacity

Development of gas as an energy source

Development of oil and gas prices

Development of new offshore oil & gas fields and infrastructures

Environmental regulations

During January-December 2015, 1,371 contracts for new vessels were registered (1,711), of which 230 were in the fourth quarter (191). Newbuilding prices have been under pressure throughout 2015 due to low demand for new vessels. Contracting activity in conventional merchant markets was slow. Weak freight rates and overcapacity adversely affected ordering container vessels and bulkers, while low oil prices and improved earnings supported tanker contracting. Gas carrier orders remained below the strong volumes seen in 2014, with a 92 vessel contracts registered in 2015 (173). Demand offshore market declined from 2014, as depressed oil prices continued to limit investments in exploration and development. The top three shipbuilding countries continued to control contracting activity in terms of compensated gross tonnage. China and South Korea each secured 30% of confirmed contracts. Japan’s share of the confirmed contracts improved to 27%, thanks to increased domestic ordering activity. Other countries improved their share from the previous year, with 292 orders placed outside the top three shipbuilding countries.

For Marine Solutions, the competitive landscape remained largely unchanged in 2015. The most significant competitors in main engine markets are MAN D & T, Caterpillar (MAK), and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HiMSEN). In propulsion equipment, competition is more fragmented and varies by product category. Main competitors for these products are Rolls-Royce plus propeller makers such as Schottel and Thrustmaster. Wärtsilä’s share of the medium-speed main engine market was 59% (63% end previous quarter). Market share in auxiliary engines increased to 12% (9% end previous quarter). Marine Solutions’ fourth quarter order intake totaled EUR 465 million (460). Compared to the previous quarter, order intake increased by 14% (EUR 407 million in third quarter 2015). In the gas carrier segment, Wärtsilä received an order to supply gas cargo handling systems to eleven new gas carriers, as well as an order to supply cargo & propulsion systems for a new LNG carrier being built for Saga LNG Shipping. Other noteworthy gas related orders included a contract to supply main engines, gearboxes, props and fuel gas handling systems for a series of 15 LNG powered inland waterway barges to be chartered by Shell. Wärtsilä also received an order to supply thrusters and auxiliaries for a semi-submersible crane vessel with two 10,000 tonnes lift capacity cranes being built by Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. / Sembcorp. for Heerema Offshore Services to install and remove offshore facilities. With a length of 220m and beam of 102m, the crane vessel will be the world’s largest. Marine Solutions’ January-December 2015 order intake declined 8% to EUR 1,599 million (1,746). Considering the general slowdown in vessel contracting and further weakening of the offshore market, this was a satisfactory result. Order intake for Marine Systems International, acquired during 2015, developed well. The gas carrier segment represented 38% of order intake, while the conventional merchant share was 18% and cruise & ferry accounted for

15%. Special vessels represented 10%, offshore segment 8% and navy 4%. Other orders accounted for 6%. In line with strategy, Wärtsilä received several orders for delivery of integrated solutions. Highlights included the contract to supply engines, controllable pitch propellers, transverse thrusters and an LNGPac gas supply and storage system to the world’s first duel-fuelled dredger being built for DEME Group. Other significant orders included the first new generation Wärtsilä 31 engine, which was launched in June. Interest in environmental solutions continued to increase during 2015. During 2015, the Wärtsilä 34DF engine strengthened market position, with three major South Korean shipyards supporting use of this engine for auxiliary applications in LNG carriers. Marine Solutions order book at end December 2015 increased by 16% to EUR 2,558 million (2,213).

Wärtsilä has placed a strong emphasis on product and solution innovation during 2015, particularly in the areas of efficiency, fuel flexibility, and reduction of environmental impact. During first half 2015, Wärtsilä launched several new innovative ship designs for AHTS and platform supply vessels, for various sizes of container feeder vessels and a new series of LNG carriers. Each design emphasizes fuel economy and performance, and come with optional versions to meet specific needs and flexibility to choose particular features.

The outlook for the shipping and shipbuilding markets remains challenging.

Here is where the “trickle-down” theory really works. The weak short-term

global economic outlook, overcapacity, and low demand for cargo tonnage are

the main obstacles for recovery in conventional shipping markets while low oil

prices, an oversupply of oil and gas, and reduced capital expenditure from oil

companies continue to limit investments in offshore exploration and

development. When they can get the business, shipyards are squeezed on pricing for newbuildings and they have to further put the squeeze on their suppliers. Meanwhile vessel owners are busy negotiating extensions to existing delivery contracts, which represents a risk to shipyard order books. Gas carrier contracting is expected to remain at a normalized level due to the continued demand for LPG in Asia. The outlook for the cruise and ferry segment remains positive thanks to economic recovery in Europe and the United States, as well as increased interest for cruises in Asia. The importance of fuel efficiency and environmental regulations are clearly visible. Increased environmental awareness and the regulatory environment is driving interest in gas as a marine fuel in the broader marine markets.

Challenging is the right word for the market.

Caterpillar Inc. faced a tough year in 2015, reporting fourth-quarter sales and revenues of $11.0 billion, down 22.5% from $14.2 billion in fourth-quarter 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume and the unfavorable impact of currency due to continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most currencies, with about half of the

impact from the euro. The two most significant reasons for the decline in sales in 2015 were weakening economic growth primarily in developing countries and substantially lower commodity prices, most notably oil. While sales for both new equipment and aftermarket parts declined in all segments, most of the decrease was for new equipment.

Sales declined in all regions. In North America, sales decreased 26% due to lower end-user demand, primarily in

Energy & Transportation, and unfavorable changes in dealer inventories, mostly in Construction Industries. In EAME [Europe, Africa, the Middle East & the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)], sales declined 20%, mostly due to lower end-user demand for products used in Energy & Transportation applications and the unfavorable impact of

currency, as sales in euros translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Sales decreased 36% in Latin America, primarily due to widespread economic weakness across the region, which had a negative impact on construction and mining activity

and demand for products used in oil and gas applications. The most significant decrease was in Brazil. Asia/Pacific sales declined 16%, primarily due to lower end-user demand for Energy & Transportation applications and products used in mining, and lower sales in China and India. The most significant decline was in China, a result of continued weak residential and nonresidential construction activity. In addition, the impact of currency was unfavorable as sales, mostly in Australian dollars and Japanese yen, translated into fewer U.S. dollars. These unfavorable items were partially offset by favorable changes in dealer inventories as dealers reduced inventories more significantly in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.

Sales decreased in all segments. Energy & Transportation’s sales declined 29% due to lower end-user demand due to substantially lower oil prices and the unfavorable impact of currency. The decline was most pronounced in equipment used for well servicing and drilling applications, with the most significant impact in North America,

Caterpillar’s largest market for well servicing. Construction

Industries’ sales decreased 18%, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of changes in dealer inventories as dealers decreased inventories more significantly in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared

to the fourth quarter of 2014. Resource Industries’ sales declined 23%, mostly

due to continued low end-user demand. Financial Products’ segment revenues were down 8%, primarily due to lower average earning assets and lower average financing rates.

“Cost management, restructuring actions and operational execution are helping the company while sales and revenues remain under pressure from weak commodity prices and slowing economic growth in developing countries. We took tough but necessary restructuring actions in 2015 – and they were significant. I am proud that our team stayed focused on our customers in this difficult environment. Our balance sheet is strong; our product quality remained at high levels; we gained market position for machines for the fifth year in a row; inventory levels have declined and are well positioned as we look forward to 2016; and our safety levels are world class. We are benefiting now and expect to even more in the future when markets rebound,” said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman. This past year was a difficult one for many of the industries and customers Caterpillar serves. Sales and revenues for 2015 were nearly 15% lower than 2014 and 29% off the 2012 peak. The two most significant reasons for the decline from 2014 were weakening economic growth and substantially lower commodity prices. Impact of weak economic growth was most pronounced in developing countries, such as China and Brazil. Lower oil prices had a substantial

negative impact on the portion of Energy & Transportation segment that supports oil drilling and well servicing, where new order rates in 2015 were down close to 90% from 2014. “We anticipated about $5 billion of the $8 billion sales and revenues decline in our January 2015 outlook as we started the year. Actual sales and revenues were about $3 billion below that $50 billion outlook because of steeper than expected declines in oil prices, a stronger U.S. dollar, weaker construction equipment sales and lower than expected mining-related sales in Resource Industries,” added Oberhelman.

In 2015, CAT took substantial additional restructuring actions to lower their cost structure. As a result, restructuring costs of $908 million were higher than anticipated when started the year. An important element of Caterpillar’s strategy is maintaining a strong balance sheet to weather the ups and downs of the cyclical industries they serve and to support growth when business improves. CAT finished 2015 with $6.5 billion of cash and a strong balance sheet with a

Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) debt-to-capital ratio of 39.1%, well within their target range of 30 to 45% and only slightly higher than 37.4% at year-end 2014. ME&T operating cash flow was $5.2 billion in 2015, and with modest need for capital expenditures, helped enable a 10% increase in the quarterly dividend and about $2 billion of share repurchases in 2015. “Fundamentally, we stayed focused in the right areas: we delivered solid cash flow, maintained a strong balance sheet and our credit rating and increased the dividend. Maintaining our current dividend and our credit rating is important even in these tough times – it is a high priority for the company,” said Oberhelman.

CAT has a substantial captive finance company - Caterpillar Financial Services, serving thousands of customers around the world. Key portfolio metrics, such as past dues and credit losses, were near historic averages despite weakness in the industries CAT serves. Reported revenues were $2.67 billion for 2015, a decrease of $212 million, or 7%, compared with 2014. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a $117 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets and an $80 million unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates. Retail new business volume for 2015 was $11.42 billion, a decrease of $1.26 billion, or 10%, from 2014. The decrease was primarily related to lower volume across most regions, partially offset by an increase in North America. Cat Financial reported fourth-quarter 2015 revenues of $648 million, a decrease of $55 million, or 8%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2014.

The outlook for 2016 Caterpillar sales and revenues does not anticipate improvement in world economic

growth or commodity prices. CAT expects world GDP growth in 2016 to be similar to 2015 at about 2.5%. While economic growth is expected to continue to be weak, but stable, there are certainly risks. Political conflicts and social unrest continue to disrupt economic activity in parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. The Chinese government’s push for structural reform slowed growth and increased volatility, and U.S. monetary policy could temper business confidence. In addition, commodity prices, oil in particular, declined substantially. Further declines in commodity prices could negatively impact 2016 financial results. Sales and revenues are expected to be in a range of $40 to $44 billion – a mid-point of $42 billion, reflecting a decline of about $3.5 billion from last October’s preliminary outlook and revenues and a year-over-year decline of about 10%. The decrease from last October’s preliminary outlook is largely a result of continued declines in commodity prices and economic weakness in developing countries.

Sales in Energy & Transportation are expected to decline 10 to 15% from 2015. Much of the decline is a result of low oil prices. During first half 2015, sales remained at relatively high levels for equipment used in drilling and well servicing because CAT started the year with a substantial order backlog. Sales declined during second half 2015 as orders from the backlog shipped and new order levels were weak. That impact, along with the further decline in oil prices, are the primary reasons for the expected decline in Energy & Transportation’s 2016 sales. In addition, continuing weakness in economic conditions in much of the world is expected to be negative for sales of power generation equipment, industrial engines, marine and rail.

Sales in Resource Industries are expected to be down 15 to 20% from 2015 as a result of continuing reductions in mining-related commodity prices and difficult financial conditions for many mining customers around the world as they continue to cut capital expenditures in response to low commodity prices and their difficult financial positions. Sales in

Construction Industries are expected to decline 5 to 10% from 2015. In the U.S., improving labor market conditions and relatively stable economic growth should continue to support the wider economy and construction. However, CAT expects weakness in developing countries and lower activity in oil- producing regions to persist. “Our outlook reflects struggling oil and other commodity markets, and continued economic weakness in developing countries. While the U.S. and European economies are showing signs of stability, the global economy remains under pressure. While we manage through these difficult economic times with substantial restructuring actions to lower costs, we are also preparing for the long term. We are continuing substantial investments in R&D and our digital capabilities. These investments will be positive for Caterpillar and our customers through connected fleets and jobsites and access to data and predictive analytics. Investing in the future is important to improving productivity and the bottom line – for Caterpillar and our customers over the long term. While it is tough to predict when an economic recovery will happen, the investments we are making and the actions we are taking to lower our cost structure and improve quality and our market position will help deliver better results when a recovery comes,” said Oberhelman.

Calling it “the next logical step in marine technology,” Crowley

Maritime Corporation is installing Cat®

Asset Intelligence software on one of its vessels. The Voith Schneider tractor tug “Guide”, a ship-assist vessel operating out of Seattle, is being fitted with a custom vessel monitoring and diagnostics solution, which will keep watch over its main engines, generators, thrusters and critical systems 24/7. While completely automated from data capture through analysis and advisory recommendations for each piece of equipment, the Caterpillar Marine Asset Intelligence team will provide advisory and management reports including recommendations for individual equipment, as well as additional ways Crowley can save money and incrementally improve operations. “It’s a robust system that does all the key monitoring and analysis we need,” said Bill Metcalf, Vice President of Strategic Engineering for Crowley Maritime. “We’re looking at it as the next level of management and optimization, and we want to see how it can help us increase reliability, safety and efficiency onboard our vessels.” Unlike technologies that only monitor engine performance, Cat

® Asset Intelligence services provide monitoring and diagnostics for an entire vessel,

including many of its critical operating systems. Dedicated Fleet Advisors then use the aggregated data and automated analytics to provide customers, such as Crowley, with actionable advisories to increase vessel productivity and improve equipment management. “It’s very scalable and customizable. That’s one of the things we liked about this technology,” Metcalf said. “Plus, Cat

® Asset Intelligence will monitor and analyze anything—not just Cat

® products. That was a big

selling point as we, like many others, have a wide variety of equipment that is critical to our success.” With the software monitoring and analyzing Guide’s key systems, Crowley Maritime expects to see value in a number of areas. “It can give us early warning of a catastrophic failure so we can schedule maintenance. It can save us time and money during the inspection process. It can help us keep our vessels and people out of harm’s way,” Metcalf said. “We’re also looking at fuel savings. That’s not likely to be a big issue on ‘Guide’, because of its size and application, but it could be huge for our larger vessels.” On smaller vessels like the 105’ x 36’ x 15’ “Guide”, which operate with a limited crew, Cat

®Asset Intelligence software’s remote

monitoring capabilities play a critical role.

“’Guide’ is a four-man boat, which means the chief engineer also serves as a deckhand when he’s on duty,” Metcalf said. “This technology will make his job easier. And as its accessible for our engineering staff, adding another set of eyes on the vessel, another level of comfort for the captain and operations team.” Crowley Maritime has established a governance committee to analyze the software’s performance onboard “Guide” and, if it proves valuable, hopes to expand vessel monitoring and diagnostics to other ships in its fleet. “We consider Crowley Maritime an important partner, and we’re working through the Cat

® Asset Intelligence

journey together,” said Leslie Bell-Friedel, Global Business Manager for Caterpillar Marine Asset Intelligence. “There’s a real team mentality in place to ensure they get as much value from this technology as possible.” Metcalf is confident the addition of Cat

® Asset Intelligence technology will help Crowley Maritime

maintain and enhance its reputation as a leader in the areas of safety, reliability and efficiency. “Guide” was the third of six

“Harbor Class” sisters designed by Guido Perla & Associates of

Seattle and built by Nichols Bros. of Freeland, Washington in 1998 – on Whidbey Island. Each of the six ship assist and escort tugs feature Voith Schneider twin cycloidal propulsion and a hydrofoil-shaped skeg that provides greatly improved steering control, and sea-keeping ability when the vessel is running at high speeds in the skeg-first direction.

The MAN Group looks back at a challenging fiscal year in 2015: While the European commercial vehicles market recovered, the situation in other regions — especially Brazil — and in the Power Engineering business area remains tense. Although the global economy recorded moderate growth, economic momentum in many emerging economies slowed further over the course of the year. Russia and Brazil continue to be of great concern. In the Power Engineering business area, the downward market had a dampening effect on the Engines & Marine Systems and Turbomachinery strategic business units. Power Plants felt

the impact of slower economic growth and longer project lead times in key emerging economies. In the Power Engineering business area, order intake decreased by approximately 13% year-on-year to €3.4 billion.

Cummins Inc. fourth quarter 2015 revenues of $4.8 billion decreased 6% from the same quarter in 2014, with the impact of currency, primarily a stronger U.S. dollar, negatively impacting sales by 4%. Revenues in North America declined 2% while international sales declined by 12%. Within international markets, sales in Latin America declined the most. Revenues for the full year 2015 were $19.1 billion, 1% lower than 2014. Revenues in North America increased 7%, but international sales declined 11% due to lower sales in Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific. A combination of weak end markets and a strong U.S. dollar presented significant challenges. Quarterly industrial engine sales steadily declined, from US$ 616 million in the first quarter to US$ 601 million during the fourth. 2014 fourth quarter industrial engine sales were US$ 775 million.

Rolls-Royce reported an underlying revenue of £13.4 billion for 2015 (FY 2014: £13.9bn), down 1% at constant exchange rates. Trading outlook for 2016 remains unchanged. Underlying 2015 marine revenues of £1,324 million were down 16% due to weak offshore markets impacting both OE and aftermarket revenues. 56%

of 2015 revenues came from the offshore segment, followed by 24% merchant and 20% naval. The outlook for 2016

will be challenging, led by reduced demand in the offshore oil and gas markets. Warren East, Chief Executive, said: “In the context of challenging trading conditions our overall performance for the year was in line with the expectations we set out in July 2015. It was a year of considerable change for Rolls-Royce: in our management, in some market conditions and in our near-term outlook. At the same time, there were some important constants: the underlying growth of our long-term markets, the quality of our mission critical technology and services, and strength of customer demand for these, which are reflected in our growing order book……Our outlook for 2016 is unchanged; despite steady market conditions for most of our businesses it will be a challenging year as we start to transition products and sustain investment in Civil Aerospace and tackle weak offshore markets in Marine.” Damen Shipyards delivered the first of a total of three hybrid tugs of the type ASD 2810 Hybrid to the Dutch Navy at the end of February. The delivery followed the handover by Damen of two new sea-going Ice Class tugs to the Swedish Navy at the end of 2015. Rolls-Royce supplied Damen with a total of ten MTU Series 4000 engines and five MTU Series 2000 engines, in addition to azimuthing thrusters for the propulsion system of the workboats. The MTU brand is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. The Dutch Navy’s hybrid tugs contain a main mechanical propulsion system equipped with two MTU 16V4000 M63R engines – each delivering 1,840kW of power – plus a diesel-electric propulsion system, equipped with a 640kW genset based on a MTU 12V2000 M41B engine, and batteries. Tugs equipped with hybrid propulsion can operate in port and coastal areas solely on battery power generated by the combustion engine. Compared with other tugs, hybrid versions use up to 30% less fuel and produce 40% fewer exhaust emissions. Each vessel supplied to the

Dutch Navy has a maximum bollard pull of 60 tonnes. Among their many duties, the tugs will be given the task of towing military vessels, carrying crew and positioning floating targets during military exercises. The two tugs for the Swedish Navy are powered by two MTU 8V4000 M63 diesels, each delivering an output of 1,000kW. The ICE Class workboats have a reinforced hull and are highly resistant to abrasion and mechanical stress. As all-rounders, they are not only designed to maneuver in waters partly covered in ice, but also to recover torpedoes used in military exercises and tow ships, as well as carry military equipment, drinking water, fuel, and up to 12 crew. They are equipped with firefighting equipment powered by a 600kW MTU Series 2000 engine.

Schottel started into 2016 with a bag full of new orders. The December orders underpin the leading role the German manufacturer plays in the tug market. 2015 was terminated with eight orders for powerful ASD tugs and a Rotor Tug with bollard pulls from 50 to 80 tons. The orders are covering the whole range of vessel types – tugs, four double-ended ferries, fishery patrol ships, survey vessels for inland waterways, seismic research vessels and yachts. Again the Schottel Rudderpropeller was the first choice of the shipowners. The SPJ was chosen thanks to its property to supply full propulsive

power even in very shallow waters. And the STP turned out to be the number one solution for double ended ferries. Also for the conventional shaft lines with CPP Schottel could book a series of significant orders for various vessel types. The unique Schottel NAV was selected for an inland water work vessel and it seems that this classic complete propulsion package for “plug and play” motorizing a vessel seems to be facing a promising future after a re-launch. The newly built M/V “Dan Reeves” was commissioned in January of 2016 for the

United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Little Rock District. Built by

Horizon Shipbuilding, Inc., Bayou La Batre, Alabama., overseen by the USACE Marine Design, the 95’ x 43’ x 10’ depth / 8.5’ loaded draft vessel is designed to comply with proposed USCG Subchapter M Requirements. Power and propulsion is provided

by two CAT C32 C rated main engines, giving 1,300HP each at 1,800-2,100RPM, along with two Thrustmaster TM1500MZ Z-Drives with 5.74:1 reduction gears and 4-blade, 67.75” diameter props. Deck gear consists of four Patterson barge winches, capstan and a Rapp Hydra Pro crane. Vessel is classed ABS +A1 Towing Vessel, River Service, +AMS.

Ingram Barge Company of Nashville, Tennessee repowered three 170’ x 40’, 5,000HP inland river towboats - “Crystal D. Taylor”, “Robert J.

Barker” and “Kim W. Nowell” with new diesels provided by GE

Transportation. The vessels are currently powered by Alco 16-251B diesels. GE’s 8 cylinder, 250mm bore inline medium speed (1,000RPM) Tier 4 compliant marine diesel engine provides Ingram with more power, faster response time, increased fuel efficiency and proven reliability all with technology which allows Ingram to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) stringent Tier 4 emissions standards without

the use of a Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR) after-treatment. “GE’s 1000 RPM non-urea engine solution drove our decision on which engines to choose for the repowers,” said David Sehrt, Ingram’s SVP & Chief Engineering Officer. Ingram used the Tier 2 version of the 250 series of marine diesel engines to repower the towboats “William P. Morelli” (166’ x 42’, 7,300HP) and the “Bill Berry” (145’ x 48’, 6,000HP) in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Together, the two towboats have approximately 80,000 operating hours of proven reliability. Two of Ingram’s towboats are currently being retrofitted with the new GE engines, and are expected to be back on

the river in August. The third vessel is planned to be completed in the spring

of 2017……SAAM has taken delivery of its first two tugs to be powered by GE Marine. These new 80-ton RAstar 3200 terminal support tugs include

two 8L250 GE Marine diesel engines. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd. and

built at Guangdong Bonny Fair Heavy Industry Limited in China, the tugs “Arriero” (Hull BF-2241) and “Maneador” (Hull BF-2242) will operate out of

Uruguay. Two additional vessels ordered by SAAM and also to be powered by GE Marine, the “Yunco” (BF-2243) and “Huairavo” (BF-2244) will sail out of Chile. This particular tug design, having an overall length of 32 m with a moulded beam of 12.8 m, is very versatile and can be used in a range of duties, from port operations and escort duties to support work for the offshore oil industry. As part of this tug application, the 8L250 GE Marine diesel engines are able to effectively support this range of duties by developing 2,440 kW at 1,050 RPM driving Rolls-Royce US 255 FP azimuth thrusters giving a bollard pull over 85 tons.

The Economy, Trade & the Towing Industry

The health of the towing industry - both in the U.S. and abroad - is dependent on trade in goods and that level of goods or commodities traded and moved depends on economic growth. The last eight years since the 2007- 2008 financial crisis have been difficult for everyone and for all modes of transportation – not just tug and barge. It seemed to take about two years to recover after past downturns, from the “double-dip” of the 1980s to the collapse of the “dot-com bubble” in 2000. This time it is taking much longer, with many more speed bumps encountered en-route. Eight years after the 2008-9 Great Recession I can still walk around and see many of the same shuttered store fronts. The International Monetary Fund hit the nail on the head with the title of their April 2016 “World Economic Outlook” – “Too Slow for Too Long”. Global growth or world output is forecast by the IMF to be 3.2% this year, up only slightly from the 3.1% in 2015. 3.5% is projected in 2017 and 3.9% in 2021. The global recovery has continued to weaken further amid increasing financial turbulence. Activity softened toward the end of 2015 in advanced economies and the stresses in several large emerging market economies showed no signs of abating. Adding to these headwinds are concerns about the global impact of the unwinding of prior excesses in China’s economy as it works to transition itself to a more balanced growth path after a decade of strong credit and investment growth, along with signs of distress in other large emerging markets, including from falling commodity prices. While growth in emerging market and developing economies still accounts for the lion’s share of projected world growth in 2016, prospects across countries remain uneven and generally weaker than over the past two decades. In particular, a number of large emerging markets - including Brazil and Russia - are still mired in deep recessions. Others, including several oil-exporting countries, also face a difficult macroeconomic environment with sharply weaker terms of trade and tighter external financial conditions. Growth in China and India has been broadly in line with projections, but trade growth, which the marine industry depends on, has slowed down noticeably. The trade slowdown is related to a decline in the growth of investment across emerging market economies, which not only reflects rebalancing in China but also the sharp scaling back of investment in commodity exporters, particularly those facing difficult economic conditions.

Growth in advanced economies is projected to remain modest, in line with 2015. Unfavorable demographic trends, low productivity growth and legacies from the global financial crisis continue to hamper a more robust pickup in activity. While a very accommodative monetary policy and lower oil prices will support domestic demand, still-weak external demand, further exchange rate appreciation - especially in the United States - and somewhat tighter financial

conditions will continue to weigh heavily on the recovery. The recovery is projected to strengthen in 2017 and beyond, driven primarily by emerging market and developing economies, as conditions in stressed economies start gradually to normalize. But uncertainty has increased and the risks of weaker growth scenarios are becoming more real. The projected pickup in growth in 2017 of 3.5% and over the rest of the forecast horizon hinges crucially on rising growth in emerging market and developing economies, as growth in advanced economies is expected to remain modest, in line with weakened potential growth. Marcon stresses that the numbers projected are only estimates and regularly revised many times after-the-fact in-line with reality – and lately those revisions are usually downwards.

When working with relatively low growth there is not much room for error and a lot of downside risk. Significant downside risks remain and are on the rise – especially in this current environment of weak growth and events that make those risks come more to the forefront may well trigger renewed financial turbulence.

• A return of financial turmoil, impairing confidence and demand in a negative feedback loop. For instance, an additional bout of exchange rate depreciations in emerging market economies could further worsen corporate balance sheets and a sharp decline in capital inflows could force a rapid compression of domestic demand.

• A protracted period of low oil prices could further destabilize the outlook for oil-exporting countries. • A sharper slowdown in China than currently projected could have strong international spillovers through trade,

commodity prices and confidence and lead to a more generalized slowdown in the global economy. • Shocks of a noneconomic origin - related to geopolitical conflicts, political discord, terrorism, refugee flows, or

global epidemics - loom over some countries and regions and, if left unchecked, could have significant spillovers on global economic activity.

Another threat is that persistent slow growth has scarring effects that themselves reduce potential output and with it, consumption and investment. Consecutive downgrades of future economic prospects carry the risk of a world economy that reaches stalling speed and falls into widespread stagnation. Adding to this list are pressures with origins in political, geopolitical, or natural developments. The problem for shipping is not just the slow growth in world output or GDP. In the 20 years leading up to the last global financial crisis, international trade expanded rapidly - at a rate roughly double global GDP. Since 2006, world trade growth has declined – in both volume and also relative to GDP. The average annual change in global output was 4.2% between 1998 and 2007. The average growth in the volume of trade in goods, excluding services, during that time was 6.9% - and many of those goods was transported by multiple carriers and modes - increasing revenues for truckers, rail and tug and barge operators across the world. The slowdown in trade has been remarkably widespread. An analysis of recent trade patterns of 174 countries by the International Monetary Fund reveals that

trade growth has weakened in an overwhelmingly majority of countries. This holds true even after the weak growth in income and the decline in trade prices are taken into account. The annual average growth of world trade in goods, excluding services, predicted for 2008 through 2017 is 2.8% - and that includes the gains of 14.3% in 2010 and 6.9% in 2011 - which I consider as “I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me” figures following the decline of 11.6% in 2009.

A recent KPMG Transport Tracker on Market Trends reports that while trade growth traditionally outpaced GDP rates by a factor of two to three, the ratio is now 1.5 times and expected to remain stagnant in the coming years. This is probably a case of comparing apples and oranges and my taking a simplistic approach, but when I look at the numbers, the change in the growth of world trade in goods, not just seaborne trade, has remained below the growth in world output or GDP since 2012. The 2015, 2016 and 2017 increases in the volume of world trade are forecast at 2.4%, 2.8% and 3.6% respectively. Regardless of the exact numbers and how they were calculated, they all remain below growth in world output.

The 1990s and early-mid 2000 became the longest period of growth in American history with annual growth rates of 5% and above for two thirds of the time and averaged 3% between 1998 and 2007. Real GDP growth in the United States has been flat for the past two years – 2.4% in 2014 and 2015 and is expected to remain at the same level until 2017 when a growth of 2.5% is projected. First quarter 2016 U.S. real gross domestic product started off at only one-half percent - which hopefully will prove to be temporary. Domestic demand has been weak and we are not going to see much investment in the energy sector at the current prices of crude oil and natural gas. Even with these lackluster figures, the forecast for economic growth in the U.S. over the next five years is higher than the advanced economies in Europe, Japan, and Latin America – even in 2021 when growth is projected to fall back to 2.0% for the U.S. and 1.8% for advanced economies due to lower productivity growth and aging populations. In both the United States and Europe, the political discussion is turning increasingly inward – all you have to do is turn on the 6 o’clock news at night to recognize this is happening. The causes are complex but certainly reflect growing income inequality as well as structural shifts, some connected with globalization, that are seen as having favored economic elites while leaving others behind. Fear of terrorism also plays a role. The result could be a turn toward more nationalistic policies, including protectionist ones. In the United Kingdom, the planned June referendum on European Union membership has already created uncertainty for investors; a “Brexit” could do severe regional and global damage by disrupting established trading relationships. Adding to political strains in Europe is the tragedy of large-scale refugee inflows, especially from the Middle East. Of course, a sizable fraction of refugee flows originates in violent extremism or sectarian strife, factors that devastate source economies and threaten their neighbors. Yet there are also natural causes of population displacement, some linked to climate change. Extreme flooding and drought from the current El Niño is worsening poverty and displacement in a range of emerging markets and low-income developing countries. Apart from these risks, the April World Economic Outlook also sees a further weakening of global growth under its baseline scenario. An important cause is that demand, notably investment demand, remains weak worldwide, but especially in commodity exporters, whose terms of trade have collapsed. China’s rebalancing process has subtracted measurably from world investment growth and generally higher uncertainty about global growth prospects is also a factor. Weak investment demand, in turn, has been associated with slower growth in international trade, given the important roles played by capital and intermediate goods. Annual growth in the world trade volume in goods, excluding services, is projected to increase slightly to 2.8% for 2016 after 2.4% growth last year. This trade is projected to increase an additional 3.6% in 2017. These are not very large increases and there is no guarantee, but at this point I will take every positive fraction of a percent I can. To put these numbers in perspective, average growth from 1998 to 2007 was 6.9% and the average from 2008 – 2017 is projected to be 2.8%. World exports of goods, excluding services, are projected to total US$ 15,739 billion in 2016, down from $16,266 billion last year. (Note that in early 2014, the world trade in goods for 2015 was projected to be $20,132 billion).

As in the rest of the world, growth in trade of goods in the United States has naturally mirrored gross domestic product. Growth in the total tonnage of waterborne commerce was up 5.6% in 2010, but this was playing “catch-up” after a decline of 10.8% the previous year. 2011, 2012 and 2013 percentages were, like global trade figures, all below change in U.S. GDP. Exact comparisons for 2015 and 2016 are not available, but the tonnage of total commodities carried on Internal U.S. Waterways declined 1 percent in 2015 after a 5.8% gain the year before and first quarter 2016 total tonnages were down 1.3% when compared to the previous year’s corresponding quarter.

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 160,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was

unchanged at 5.0% according to a report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In April, the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons (7.9 million) were little changed. Both measures have shown little movement since August 2015. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) by 150,000 to 2.1 million in April. These individuals account for 25.7% of the unemployed. The labor force participation rate decreased though to 62.8% and the employment-population ratio edged down to 59.7. The number of persons employed part time for

economic reasons (involuntary part-time workers) was about unchanged in April at 6.0 million and has shown little movement since November. These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part-time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. In April, 1.7 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, down by 400,000 from a year earlier. These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.

Regardless of how good a 5% unemployment rate sounds, especially considering the peak of over twice that in 2009, if you take in account 1,715,000 persons marginally attached to the labor force, 568,000 discouraged workers, 5,962,000 employed part time for economic reasons and 7,920,000 officially unemployed, the U.S. still has 16,165,000 (16,334,000 last November 2015) either under employed or unemployed which is 10.17% of the U.S. civilian labor force – although admittedly that is much better than 18.12% ten years ago. That is a waste of a good resource. If crude oil prices stay near current levels until 2018, we are bound to see unemployment climb. Hundreds of thousands of workers across the globe have already been cut by drillers, oilfield service companies and their suppliers / manufacturers. As proven by the failure of the latest OPEC meeting in Doha to come to any agreement - the end is not yet in sight. The present 5% unemployment rate is a fragile number. Overall hiring slowed in April, with the job gains occurring primarily among professional, business services, financial and health industries. Mining employment continued to decline and construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and warehousing, and government showed little or no change over the month.

Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, estimates that 21.491 million men and women in the EU-28, of whom 16.437 million were in the euro area (EA-19), were unemployed in March 2016. The euro area seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 10.2% in March 2016, down from 10.4% in February 2016, and from 11.2% in March 2015. The EU-28 unemployment rate was 8.8% in March 2016, down from 8.9% in February 2016, and from 9.7% in March 2015. Among the Member States, the lowest unemployment rates in March 2016 were recorded in the Czech Republic (4.1%) and Germany(4.2%). The highest rates have been observed in Greece (24.4% in January 2016) and Spain (20.4%). At the beginning of 2005 a period of steadily declining unemployment started, lasted until the first quarter 2008. At that time, EU-28 unemployment hit a low of 16.1 million persons (equivalent to a rate of 6.8%) before rising sharply in the wake of the economic crisis. Between the second quarter 2008 and mid-2010 the unemployment level went up by more than 6.6 million, taking the rate up to 9.7%, at that time the highest value recorded since the start of the series in 2000. The decline of unemployment in the following three quarters was a deceptive sign of an end of the crisis and of a stable improvement in labor market conditions in the EU-28. In fact, since the second quarter 2011 and until the first quarter of 2013 unemployment steadily and markedly increased taking it to the record level of 26.4 million, corresponding to a record rate of 10.9%. Since then the rate has started to decrease, reaching 9.9% at the end of 2014. Singapore’s unemployment rate was unchanged at 1.9% from December 2015 to March 2016. Over the same period, unemployment rate declined among residents (2.9% to 2.7%) and citizens (3.0% to 2.6%). This was largely due to a lower labor force participation rate among youths. Malaysia’s January unemployment rate of 3.4%, same as December 2015 and up 0.3 percentage points from last November. The number of unemployed in South Korea totaled 1,155,000 in March, or 4.3% of its labor force, up 0.3% year-on-year – and as far as China goes, your guess is as good as mine.

According to the OECD, G20 total international merchandise trade, seasonally adjusted and expressed

in current US dollars, continued to contract in the fourth quarter of 2015. Exports fell for the sixth

consecutive quarter (by 1.6% in Q4 2015), while imports fell for the seventh consecutive quarter (by 1.9%). Export values fell significantly in Q4 2015 across large oil exporters including Canada (by 5.4%), Russia (2.2%), Indonesia (7.9%) and Saudi Arabia, reflecting falling oil prices and an

appreciating US dollar. In South Africa and Brazil, imports continued to contract (by 6.2% and 9.2% respectively) to close to their lowest levels in six years. Imports also fell significantly in India (by 8.1%). In the United States imports fell for the sixth straight quarter (by 2.7%), with exports also declining for the second consecutive quarter (by 3.5%). In Mexico, exports and imports were down by 2.3% and 2.8%

respectively. Amongst G20 economies only China (up 0.3%) and Turkey (3.3%) saw exports grow in Q4 2015. Imports also grew in both countries, by 1.0% and 4.3% respectively. Exports and imports by the European Union (EU28) fell for a sixth consecutive quarter, by 1.0% and 1.4% respectively,

with exports falling in France (by 0.3%), Germany (2.3%) and the United Kingdom (1.4%) while they remained unchanged in Italy. Imports picked up, however, in France and the United Kingdom by 0.9% and 0.3% respectively.

For the year 2015 as a whole, G20 exports fell by 11.3% while imports

fell by 13.0%. Declines in both imports and exports were recorded in all

G20 economies in 2015. Saudi Arabia recorded the largest fall in exports (oil, oil & oil) over the period while Russia recorded the largest fall in imports, in both cases by more than 35%.).

According to preliminary data, the volume of world trade grew by

1.1% in February following a 1.1% drop in January. Export volume growth was positive in both advanced economies and emerging economies, while strong import volume growth in advanced

economies offset a decline in emerging economies. The strong performance of advanced economies’ imports was

the result of positive turnarounds in the United States and the Euro Area. Because of the volatility of monthly trade figures, momentum is the preferred measure of trade growth. Trade momentum was 0.6% in February (non-annualized), up from 0.5% in January. Momentum was higher in emerging economies than it was in advanced economies, both at the import and the export side. Export momentum in emerging Asia turned positive after three consecutive monthly declines. World industrial production declined 0.5% in February 2016, following a 0.6% increase in

January. Production contracted in advanced

economies, while it expanded in emerging

economies. Production decreased in all major advanced blocks, the contraction in Japan being

notably large. The positive turnaround in emerging

economies was due to a reversal in emerging Asia. Global production momentum was 0.1% in February, down from 0.2% in January. Loss of momentum in Japan caused momentum in advanced economies to become more negative, while it was positive and stable in emerging economies. Momentum in Latin America has been negative since February 2015.

The Port of Hamburg in 2015 reported higher bulk cargo throughput and strong growth in rail and inland waterway seaport-hinterland traffic, but a downturn in container

handling. In 2015, seaborne cargo throughput in the Port of Hamburg was 5.4% lower

at 137.8 million tons. In Hamburg as a universal port, growth in bulk cargo throughput was maintained in 2015. In this segment, total volume of 45.5 million tons represented growth of 5.8% on the previous year. 2015 container handling at

8.8 million TEU did not reach the previous year’s total, falling 9.3%. The Port of Hamburg reports around 30% local container cargo as well as growing seaport-hinterland container transport by rail, up by 2.8%, and by inland waterway vessels, up by 27.5%. Downturn in seaborne container throughput is primarily attributable to lower volumes handled with China, Russia and Poland. In total, in 2015 something over 800,000 TEU fewer than in the previous year were handled for these especially important trading partners in container traffic with the Port of Hamburg.

The Port of Rotterdam handled roughly the same volume of cargo in first quarter 2016 as in the same period last year. An increase in the volume of, mainly, crude oil and oil products put-through

was offset by a more or less equivalent decrease in the volume of dry bulk and containers. Total

volume of cargo handled increased by 0.2%, to 116.9 million tonnes. Port of Rotterdam Authority CEO Allard Castelein: “The port’s throughput grew by 4.9% in 2015. Our ambition is to match this high throughput volume in the present year. So far we are on course – but we still have three

quarters to go.” In the liquid bulk market segment, the port handled higher volumes of crude oil (+2.0%; 26.0 million tonnes), mineral oil products (+7.0%; 24.4 million tonnes) and other liquid bulk (+2.1%; 7.8 million tonnes). Low oil prices resulted in substantial margins for the refineries, increased refining activity and strong trade in oil products. In the other liquid bulk segment, Rotterdam saw a slight decrease in the volume of MTBE (a petrol additive) put through the port, and a modest increase in biodiesel volumes. The only segment that saw considerable decline in throughput volumes was LNG (-72.6%; 0.1 million tonnes). A substantially lower volume of LNG was re-exported to non-EU destinations in the first quarter. LNG throughput volumes are expected to recover over the remainder of 2016. All in all, throughput of liquid bulk rose by 3.3% to 58.4 million tonnes. Key cargo types within the dry bulk category are iron ore & scrap metal and coal. There was a sizeable decrease in the throughput of iron ore & scrap metal (-6.1%; 7.8 million tonnes). The main cause of this decline was the large quantity of Chinese steel dumped on the European market. Coal put through Rotterdam increased slightly (+2.9%; 7.9 million tonnes). A decrease in the import of raw materials for the metal industry and the construction sector, combined with a decrease in the export of fly ash, resulted in lower throughput volumes for other dry bulk (-18.6%; 2.7 million tonnes). There was a slight increase in the volume of agri-bulk handled (+1.2%; 2.5 million tonnes). All in all, throughput of dry bulk decreased by 4% to 21.0 million tonnes. The volume of containers handled decreased by 3.1%, to 31.0 million tonnes, and by 3.9% to 3.0 million TEU. The lack of growth in this sector can mainly be attributed to unfavorable economic developments in China, Russia and Brazil. In addition, fewer empty containers were shipped to foreign destinations – particularly to Asia (-14.5%) – partly as a result of the slowdown in Chinese exports. At the same time, Rotterdam saw an increase in trade with the US, the UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.

DP World Limited handled 61.7 million TEU across its global portfolio of container terminals during 2015, with gross container volumes growing by 3.0% on reported basis and 2.4% on a like-for-like basis. Growth in 2015 was largely driven by European and UAE terminals. The portfolio benefited from the ramp-up in London Gateway and the UAE handled a record 15.6 million TEUs, representing like-for-like growth of 2.3% for the year. Utilization at Jebel Ali remains high at approx. 90% despite softer volumes in Q42015. Market conditions in the second half 2015 were challenging, with like-for-like gross throughput growth flat year-on-year in Q4 2015. At a consolidated level, DP World’s terminals handled 29.1 million TEU during 2015, a 2.7% improvement on a reported basis. Consolidated like-for-like volumes grew by 1.7% for the year.

Total cumulative container throughput through end March at the Port of

Hong Kong was 4,410 thousand TEU, down 10.38% year-on-year for the same 2016 period. 2015’s container throughput was 20,073 thousand TEU, down 9.7% from the previous year. Although figures are not available for total

seaborne & river trade for March, total seaborne & river cargo throughput

for 2015 was down 13.8% from 297,737,000 tonnes in 2014 and January 2016’s was down 23.8% from January 2015. A statistic always of interest to local harbor tug operators are vessel arrivals which in February were cumulative for this year at 14,154. This is down 0.2% over the same period last year.

The Port of Singapore put in a mixed performance in 2015, amidst weak global economic

conditions and structural changes in the maritime industry. Advance estimates show that vessel arrival tonnage grew 5.6%, while Singapore remained the world’s top bunkering port with a 6.5%

increase in volume of bunkers sold. Container throughput and cargo throughput contracted by 8.7% to 30.9 million TEUs and 1.1% to 574.9 million tonnes respectively. This was largely caused by the overall slump in Asia-Europe volumes, compounded by developments such as the rebalancing of volumes across alliances agreements, and an increase in direct sailings due to lower bunker prices.

A total 517,789 TEUs at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey were handled in March 2016, off 11.8% over the same period last year, but an improvement over January and February 2016. The March year-to-date total of

1,496,353 was up 2% over last year. Annual cargo volumes at the Port of New

York and New Jersey in 2015 beat the previous record by more than 10%. The port handled 6,371,720 TEUs in 2015, an increase of 10.4% over the previous record set in 2014. Total cargo in tonnage handled at the port was 73,608 thousand tonnes in 2015, up 1.9% over 2014, while the total dollar value declined 1.6%. The greatest decline in both cargo tonnage and total dollar value was in exports, down 31.7% and 54.3% respectively. By far the top 2015 trading partner in total volume of imports and exports for the port was China at 29.3%, followed by India at 6.6% and Germany at 5.3%...... Total number of containers handled at the

Port of Long Beach, California were down 26.2% in March to 464,855 TEUs from 630,084 for the same period in 2015. Fiscal year-to-date (October – September) 2016 containers were up 6.1% to 3,398,584 TEUs. The total inbound / outbound tonnage in March 2016 was 10,667,860mt, down 25.95% from March 2015, with liquids down 23.06%, dry bulk down

20.03%, containerized down 27.21% and breakbulk down 4.26%. Calendar year-to-date

figures were up 2.02% to 36,501,957mt for all cargoes during the same period in 2015. Port of Long Beach CEO Jon Slangerup: “The uneven global economy, industry financial pressures, weak U.S. export demand and the introduction of mega-sized container vessels to West Coast ports have created dynamic conditions for the maritime industry that will continue to play out over the coming year. Nevertheless, our value proposition, being the fastest and most cost-effective supply route from Asia to America’s consumer markets, continues to define Long Beach and

Southern California as the multimodal gateway of choice for our shipping customers.” …… The Port of

Los Angeles handled 612,863 TEUs in March 2016, seeing total volumes decrease 22.6% from

791,863 TEU in March 2015. Total calendar year to-date figures are up 11.35% to 2,030,983 TEUs from 1,823,954 in the first three months of 2015, recording its busiest first quarter in the port’s 109-year history. The Port moved a total of 8,160,457 TEUs in 2015, a decline of 2.1% compared to 2014……

Northwest Seaport Alliance international container volumes through the Puget Sound rebounded strongly in 2015 with The Northwest Seaport Alliance handling more than 3.5 million TEUs, an increase of 4%. Container volumes grew

despite the slowing Chinese economy and volume declines earlier in the year during West Coast labor negotiations. The ports of Seattle and Tacoma formed The Northwest Seaport Alliance to strengthen the Puget Sound gateway—the third largest in North America—and create more economic opportunities. Auto imports and container volumes

posted gains through first quarter 2016. Building off last year’s record-breaking volumes, March marked the highest volume of auto imports in more than a decade. The 21,085 units beat the previous record from December 2002. Meanwhile, international containers improved 4% through the first three months of the year, largely on strength of January and February volumes. Full containerized exports were up 18% year to date to 233,102 TEUs, while imports were flat at 311,011 TEUs. When compared to March 2015, March 2016’s international container volumes were down nearly 22%. March 2015 volumes were particularly robust as the alliance’s harbors quickly cleared the backlog built up during labor contract negotiations after an agreement was reached in February 2015. March 2016 container volumes were also impacted by Lunar New Year, when factories in Asia close for one to two weeks.

April 2016 reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts suggest that

national economic activity continued to expand in late February and March,

though the pace of growth varied across Districts. Most said that economic

growth was modest to moderate range and expected growth would remain in that range going forward. Consumer spending increased modestly. Labor

market conditions continued to strengthen and business spending generally expanded across most Districts. Manufacturing activity increased in most Districts. Construction and real estate activity also expanded. Low prices weighed on energy and mining output as well as prospects for agricultural producers. Overall, prices increased modestly across the majority of Districts, and input cost pressures continued to ease. Consumer spending in most Districts increased modestly late February and March, and retailers generally remained optimistic about the outlook for growth over the remainder of the year. However, contacts in the Chicago District again expressed disappointment that low gas prices and improving labor markets were not providing more of a boost to consumer spending. Most Districts again reported job gains, with only Cleveland indicating a decline in overall employment. Energy companies continued to reduce their workforces, with reports of layoffs coming from Cleveland, Atlanta, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Dallas. Manufacturing increased in most Districts. The overall pace of growth was moderate in Richmond and Chicago, while more modest in Philadelphia, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Only Cleveland and Kansas City reported declines. There also were solid gains in construction materials (Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Chicago). Demand for steel changed little in Cleveland and Chicago, but declined in Kansas City. Several Districts reported weak overall demand for heavy machinery, with Chicago and Minneapolis noting softer demand for agricultural and mining machinery than for construction machinery. Suppliers for the oil and gas industry consistently reported weak demand (Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis, and Dallas), and some contacts in Chicago and Dallas indicated they were trying to adjust product offerings toward other industries. Expectations for future manufacturing growth were mixed. In general, contacts' outlooks were optimistic in Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Richmond, but pessimistic in Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Dallas. Construction and real estate activity generally expanded, and Districts generally maintained a positive outlook for the rest of the year. Most reporting on nonresidential construction said demand increased. Contacts in Boston said the education, health care, hospitality, retail, and office sectors contributed to its recent construction boom. Agricultural conditions were mixed. Contacts in Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Dallas reported poor prospects for agricultural profitability because product prices remained low and input costs remained relatively high. However, some relief was reported in input costs since the previous period, with lower costs for diesel, fertilizer, and farmland rents. That said, costs for chemicals went up and seed costs remained elevated.

Natural resource reports ranged from mixed to negative. Oil and gas production continued to fall in Atlanta, Kansas City, and Dallas, though some Districts reported signs that the declines were close to an end. Contacts in Cleveland and Atlanta noted that natural gas prices were under pressure because the warm winter left inventories elevated. Cleveland and Dallas reported persistently low energy prices were hurting the financial positions of energy firms. The number of rigs operating in Marcellus and Utica Shales in the Fourth District – Cleveland, was little changed after declining precipitously over the past year. Nonetheless, regional natural gas output remains at historic highs. Reduced demand owing in part to the unusually warm winter boosted inventories and put further downward pressure on wellhead prices. Because of the sharp drop in wellhead prices, asset values are being marked down, a situation which affects credit to the industry. The end result could be additional bankruptcies. Hedges at higher prices began rolling off at the start of 2016, exposing natural gas producers to lower prices. Significant layoffs in the upstream segment continued. Reports indicate that investment in pipeline and mid-stream projects moved forward, but at a slower pace. Not much change is expected across the sector during 2016. Kansas City – Tenth District energy activity continued to decline moderately, and expectations remained negative. The number of active oil and gas drilling rigs declined at a similar pace as the last survey period. Most respondents expected domestic oil production to decline this year, as a result of low rig counts and reduced capital spending. The average oil price needed to be profitable continued to fall among local producers but remained modestly higher than their year-end price outlook. Most producers also reported concerns about high global oil inventories and the potential negative effects on prices. In the natural gas market, high inventory levels and continued strong production weighed on prices. Demand for oilfield services in the 11

th District – Dallas, remained depressed as drilling continued to

decline. The financial positions of many firms continued to deteriorate despite slightly higher prices in March, particularly smaller firms. Further cuts to capital expenditures have become less likely, as sentiment grew that the energy sector may have found a bottom. Outlooks remained somber for 2016, with little hope for growth before 2017.

Conditions in the energy sector remained weak in the Ninth District - Minneapolis, while mining activity stabilized. The number of active drilling rigs as of late March in the District fell further from a month earlier. Coal shipments on regional railroads were down from a year ago. A currently idle iron mine in Minnesota will resume production in May; another idled mine announced plans to start back up later this year, but did not give a date. A mine in Montana announced plans to increase production and add up to 100 new workers. In contrast, two Wisconsin mines that produce sand for hydraulic fracturing announced that they were laying off workers. Coal output declined in Richmond and St. Louis. In contrast, some idled iron mines in Minneapolis reported plans to reopen soon. San Francisco contacts reported solid domestic timber demand but those in Minneapolis indicated that the warm winter slowed logging activity. Port activity in the Fifth District – Richmond, increased

since the previous report. In fact, some ports indicated that import volume growth set records in February before moderating somewhat in March. Automobile imports remained strong and container shipments increased moderately. At one port, strong import growth was driven by consumer goods, such as furniture, toys, and apparel. Port officials said that exports had risen modestly, and one source noted an increase in inquiries regarding exporting. Outbound shipments of agricultural and forest products, including logs, lumber, wood pulp, and paper were stronger. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, reported that the value of the goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in

production, adjusted for price changes – increased at an annual rate of 0.5% in first

quarter 2016, down from 1.4% in fourth quarter 2015. The Bureau emphasized that the first-quarter advance estimate released on 28

th April is based on incomplete source data

and subject to further revision. The "second" estimate for the first quarter, based on more complete data, will be

released on 27th May. The increase in real GDP in the first quarter reflected positive contributions from personal

consumption expenditures (PCE), residential fixed investment, and state and local government spending that were partly offset by negative contributions from nonresidential fixed investment, private inventory investment, exports, and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased. The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter reflected a larger decrease in nonresidential fixed investment, a deceleration in PCE, a downturn in federal government spending, an upturn in imports, and larger decreases in private inventory investment and in exports that were partly offset by an upturn in state and local government

spending and an acceleration in residential fixed investment. Real gross domestic purchases - purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever produced - increased 0.9% in the first quarter, down from an increase of 1.5% in the fourth. The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, increased 0.3% in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 0.4% in the fourth. Excluding food and energy, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 1.4%, compared with an increase of 1.0%. Exports of goods (excluding services) increased $1.8 billion to $118.6 billion in February. Consumer goods increased $1.1 billion. Imports of goods increased $2.7 billion to $183.3 billion. Consumer goods increased $3.6 billion. Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines decreased $1.5 billion. Passenger cars decreased $1.3 billion.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) research has shown a clear relationship between economic cycles and the Freight and Passenger

Transportation Services Indexes. The Freight Transportation Services Index

(TSI) published by the BTS measures the month-to-month changes in

freight shipments by mode of transportation in tons and ton-miles combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland

waterways, pipelines and air freight. The February Freight TSI decrease of 0.7% from January was due to substantial declines in trucking and pipeline, and a smaller decrease in rail intermodal. Air freight, water, and rail carloads all increased. The TSI decrease paralleled a drop in the Federal Reserve Board Industrial Production index which declined by 0.5% in February, with particular declines in mining (1.4%) and utilities (4.0%). The ISM Manufacturing Index, though it increased, was again below 50, indicating declining manufacturing activity. The February Freight TSI decline of 0.7% from January left the index below its October 2015 level and below all months from July 2015

to October 2015. The index remains high compared to earlier years with an increase of 29.0% since the low of 94.7 in April 2009. Freight shipments in February 2016 (122.2) were 29.0% higher than the recent low in April 2009 during the recession (94.7). The February 2016 level was 1.2% below the historic peak of November 2014 (123.7). Freight shipments measured were up 0.6% in February compared to end 2015. Freight shipments are up 12.0% in the five years from the post-recession level of February 2011 and are up 9.6% in the 10 years from February 2006.

All five major transportation modes – truck, rail, pipeline, vessel and air – carried less U.S. freight by value with North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners Canada and Mexico in January 2016 than in January 2015. The total value of cross-border freight carried on all modes fell 7.7% from 2015 to $82.4 billion in current dollars, according to the TransBorder Freight Data. The value of commodities moving by truck declined 1.5%, the smallest decrease from 2015 to 2016 of any mode. The value of freight on other modes also declined: vessel 37.3%;

pipeline 32.7%; air 12.8%; and rail 3.5% (Table right). A drop in the price of crude oil

in 2015 played a key role in the large declines in the dollar value of goods

shipped by vessel and pipeline. Crude oil comprises a large share of the commodities carried by these modes. Trucks carried 66.5% of U.S.-NAFTA freight and continued to be the most heavily utilized mode for moving goods to and from both U.S.-NAFTA partners. Trucks accounted for $28.4 billion of the $44.6 billion of imports (63.7%) and $26.4 billion of the $37.9 billion of exports (69.7%). Rail remained the second largest mode by value, moving 15.2% of all U.S.-NAFTA freight, followed by vessel, 5.3%; pipeline, 4.8%; and air, 3.7%. The surface transportation modes of truck, rail and pipeline carried 86.4% of the total value of U.S.-NAFTA freight flows. From January 2015 to January 2016, the value of U.S.-Canada freight flows fell 12.7% to $42.0 billion as all modes of transportation carried a lower value of U.S.-Canada freight than a year earlier. Lower crude oil prices contributed to a year-over-year decrease in

the value of freight moved between the U.S. and Canada. Crude oil is a large share of freight carried by vessel

and pipeline, which were down 42.5% and 34.2% respectively year-over-year.

According to the Cass Freight Index Report, freight shipment

volumes remain below 2015 levels. Freight shipments slowed to only a 1.4% rise in March, following an 8.3% jump in February. Expenditures for freight declined 1.0% in March—reversing a portion of the 6.3% increase in February. Manufacturing and building construction have been on an upward trend and have just started showing up in the supply chain. The March freight shipments index still remains 1.5% below the same month a year ago. March shipments have grown at a slower pace than each February for the last couple of years, so this is not unexpected. The March 2016 index is still 6.2% lower than the December 2015 index, indicating that the plummet in January is going to take quite some time to dig out of. On an average basis, the first

quarter of 2016 was 3.0% lower than the same period in 2015. The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) PMI index continued to move up in March, posting a 4.6% rise. Notably, the index has just passed back over the 50 index level, indicating growth, for the first time since August 2015. This is the third consecutive month of growth and is a sign that manufacturing may finally be recovering from its slump. High inventories are still a big concern and will moderate future growth. Both the New Orders and the Order Backlog sub-indexes increased, 13.2% and 5.2% respectively. This should translate to higher production in April. One cautionary indicator though: the manufacturing sector cut 29,000 jobs in March. Railroad shipments picked up remarkably in March with a 22.2% rise in carloads and a 19.2% rise in intermodal shipments. These follow double digit drops in February. March figures for truck tonnage are

not yet available. Expect sluggish but sustained growth in freight.

Freight payments declined 1.0% in March on the heels of a strong 6.3% growth in February. The decline is a departure from the trend seen in recent

years. Capacity was not an issue for any of the modes in most places, so

spot prices were flat or down. Railroads instituted price increases often in 2015 - matching the need for their services - but have been slower to do so in 2016. Tariff rates for some goods are scheduled to increase on April 15. Truck rate changes have been extremely moderate and most shippers are not expecting much of a change in the first half of 2016. Slow economic growth is not a good environment for rate increases. After falling to the lowest levels in recent history in February, diesel prices are creeping back

up, rising 4.6% in March. By some measures the economy appears to be

in good shape. March employment figures were strong, especially for construction, which gained 37,000 jobs, and retail, which gained 48,000.

Average hourly wages grew by 7 cents an hour, housing starts and home sales had moderate growth, inflation is low, and February exports were

up 1.5%. On the downside, consumer spending has been sluggish;

business investment has been weak; unemployment went from 4.9 to

5.0% in March; new building permits declined in April; the dollar remains

robust in world markets (hurting our export prices); and, finally, the

Federal Reserve is divided on the next course of action. At their March meeting, the Fed chose not to raise the interest rate, but they have said they

are planning two increases this year, timing TBD. Global economic

conditions are still weak and fragile in some economies, adding a level of

uncertainty to the U.S. economy. 2016 is turning out to be difficult to

predict. Anecdotally, however, many players in the supply chain remain

cautiously optimistic for the rest of the year.

Since demand for rail service arises as a result of demand elsewhere in the economy for the

products that railroads haul, rail traffic is a useful gauge of broader economic activity, both for

specific industries and for the economy as a whole. According to the Association of American

Railroads (AAR)’s Weekly Rail Traffic, carload traffic in April 2016 was down 16.1% to a total of 944,339 carloads from April 2015. U.S. railroads also originated 1,028,460 containers and trailers in April 2016, down 7.5% or 83,729 units from the same month last year. For April 2016, combined U.S. carload and intermodal originations were 1,972,829, down 11.8% or 264,327 carloads and intermodal units from April 2015. In April 2016, five of the 20 carload commodity categories tracked by the AAR each month saw carload gains compared with April 2015. These included: miscellaneous carloads, up 25% or 4,743 carloads; coke, up 16.1% or 2.354 carloads; and chemicals, up 1.5% or 1,909 carloads. Commodities that saw declines

in April 2016 from April 2015 included: coal, down

39.7% or 160,624 carloads; petroleum and petroleum products, down 25.1% or 15,122 carloads; and grain mill

products, down 7.1% or 2,760 carloads. Excluding coal, carloads were down 2.8% or 19,974 carloads from April 2015. Total U.S. carload traffic for the first 17 weeks of 2016 was 4,087,620 carloads, down 14.3% or 83,729 carloads, while intermodal containers and trailers were 4,368,132 units, down 0.8% or 33,771 containers and trailers when compared to the same

period in 2015. For the first four months of 2016, total rail traffic volume in the United States was 8,455,752 carloads and intermodal

units, down 7.8% or 715,985 carloads and intermodal units from the same point last year. "Rail coal traffic continues to suffer due to low natural gas prices and high coal stockpiles at power plants. Coal accounted for just 26% of non-intermodal rail traffic for U.S. railroads in April 2016, down from 36% in April 2015 and 45% as recently as late 2011," said AAR Senior VP of Policy and Economics John T. Gray. "We expect non-coal carloads to strengthen when the economy gets stronger, and we think intermodal weakness in April is probably at least partly a function of high business inventories that need to be drawn down before new orders, and thus new shipments, are made."

Trucking also serves as a barometer of the U.S. economy, representing 68.8% of tonnage carried

by all modes of domestic freight transportation, including manufactured and retail goods. American

Trucking Association’s advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index decreased

4.5% in March, following a 7.2% surge during February and a 1.4% decline in January. In March, the index equaled 137.6 (2000=100), down from 144 in February. February’s level is an all-time high.

Compared with March 2015, the SA index was up 2.2%, which was down from February’s 8.6% year-over-year gain. Year-to-date, compared with the same period in 2015, tonnage was up 3.9%. The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 142.1 in March, which was 10.2% above the previous month (129). “As expected, tonnage came back to earth in March from

the jump in February,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “These things tend to correct, and March took back more than half of the surprisingly large gain in February. The freight economy continues to be mixed, with housing and consumer spending generally giving support to tonnage, while new fracking activity and factory output being drags,” he

said. “In addition, freight volumes are softer than the overall economy

because of the current inventory overhang throughout the supply chain.” The decrease is the largest monthly contraction for the index since September 2012 (-5.3%). ATA calculates the tonnage index based on surveys from its membership and has been doing so since the 1970s.

U.S.-flag Great Lakes freighters (lakers) moved 1,747,111 tons of cargo in March, more than

double their total of a year ago. The March float was also on pace with the month’s 5 year average. Iron ore cargoes totaled 1,362,768 tons, again more than double the volume of a year ago. Coal cargoes totaled 133,155 tons, basically a repeat of a year ago. Limestone

cargoes dipped slightly to 68,275 tons, but shipments of cement

more than tripled the volume of a year ago, rising to 182,913 tons. Year-to-date U.S.-flag carriage stands at 4,068,869 tons, an increase of 8% compared to the same point in 2015. Iron ore cargoes are up 16%, but coal cargo have dipped 56%. Limestone cargoes have increased 26% and cement shipments are up 71%. Dumping of foreign steel into the U.S. market severely impacted cargo movement during the final months of 2015. Six of the most efficient vessels in the fleet were withdrawn from service in November because of steel dumping. U.S.-flag vessel operators on the Great Lakes committed more than $110 million to maintain and modernize their vessels in 2016. Maintenance and repair work typical of the winter lay-up period cost approx. $60 million. Projects that involve repowering vessels or installing exhaust gas scrubbers will cost upwards of $50 million. Great Lakes shipping is a 24/7 business. The vessels stop only long enough to load or discharge cargo. As a result, the winter lay-up is the prime time to tune up the vessels for the coming campaign. Massive power plants, some capable of generating nearly 20,000HP, are carefully serviced. Conveyor systems, key to self-unloading vessels, will be inspected and worn belts replaced. Several vessels will be dry-docked as required by law to allow U.S. Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping representatives to inspect the hull below the waterline.

The 2016 shipping season on the Lakes began on 2nd

March 2016 when Interlake

Steamship’s tug/barge unit “Dorothy Ann” / “Pathfinder” loaded 14,600 tons of iron ore at Cleveland Bulk Terminal for delivery to ArcelorMittal Cleveland at the end of the navigable portion of the Cuyahoga River. That much ore will keep the mill in operation for about one day. The vessel could have delivered another 4,600 tons, but the Cuyahoga River is notorious for silting up over the winter, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could not dredge until mid-May. “Pathfinder” began her career as the “J.L. Mauthe”, a vessel designed for Pittsburgh Steamship Company. She entered service on

April 2nd, 1953 and fell into Interlake Steamship Company’s typical iron ore trade between Duluth-Superior and various lower lake ports. By the early 1980s, the iron ore

trade was less favorable to such vessels. While the “Mauthe” continued to carry occasional loads of ore, she found herself more regularly involved in the grain trade, although that grain trade was not enough to sustain the vessel's activity much longer. As the 1980s and early 1990s progressed, fewer vessels were being used in this trade. In 1993, “J.L. Mauthe” laid up in Superior. A developing trend during the early 1990s was conversion of former straight-deck bulk carriers and some older, small self-unloaders to barges, with powerful tugs fitted into a stern notch of the vessel. In 1996, conversion plans were completed, and in December 1996, “J.L. Mauthe” departed Duluth-Superior for a late-

season trip to Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Work was underway on the vessel during most of 1997, and in March, 1998, the resulting self-unloading barge was completed with a new name, reviving one from Interlake's past – “Pathfinder”. Barge was married up with the 124’ x 44’, 7,200BHP azimuthing tug “Dorothy Ann” with an elevated

pilothouse providing a 70’ height of eye, designed by Bob Hill of Ocean Tug & Barge Engineering. The tug was fitted

with a Great Lakes-specific articulated pin-type connection system. (Credit:

www.boatnerd.com)......The next vessel underway was Lafarge’s U.S. flag cement carrier “G. L. Ostrander” / “Integrity”. The 14,000dwt, articulated, self-discharge tug / barge unit departed Milwaukee to sail to Chicago, and load 3,300 tons of slag for delivery to Alpena, Michigan, then loading 14,000 tons of cement for Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland. Marcon brokered the sale of the 7,200HP, 149’ x 40’ x 22’ depth tug “G. L. Ostrander” (ex-Jacklyn M, Robert L. Torres, Andrew

Martin) to Lafarge as sole broker in 1995. Tug was originally built by Halter

Marine for Andrew Martin Sea Service as a North Sea anchor handling tug and powered by twin Stork Werkspoor diesels. She was later repowered with CAT 3608TAs and finally in 2001 with her present EMD 20-645E7Bs.

Two U.S. flag steamships, the 26,011mtdw “John G. Munson” (photo left) and the 24,930mtdw “Herbert C. Jackson” (photo lower right), will be repowered with state-of-the-art diesel engines. Both vessels have been in service on the Lakes since the 1950s. The Lakes freshwater environment allows vessel operators to continually reinvest in their vessels rather than bear the expense of new builds. A U.S. Maritime Administration report noted that repowering a Great Lakes freighter typically achieves 80% of the efficiencies of a new build at 20% of the cost. In addition to these repowerings, “James R. Barker” and “Lee A. Tregurtha” will be fitted with exhaust gas scrubbers. The major shipyards on the Lakes are located in Sturgeon Bay, Superior and Marinette, Wisconsin; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Toledo, Ohio.

Smaller “top-side” repair operations are located in Cleveland, Ohio; Escanaba, Michigan; Buffalo, New York; and several cities in Michigan. The industry’s annual payroll for its 2,700 employees approaches $125 million and it is estimated that a wintering vessel generates an additional $800,000 in economic activity in the community in which it is moored. Lake Carriers’ Association represents 15 American companies operating 56 U.S.-flag vessels on the Great Lakes carrying raw materials that drive the nation’s economy: iron ore and fluxstone for the steel industry, aggregate and cement for the construction industry, coal for power generation, as well as salt, sand and grain. Collectively, these vessels can transport more than 100 million tons of cargo per year.

For the year 2015, Canada’s Algoma Central Corporation’s consolidated revenues were Can$ 413.5 million compared to Can$ 473.4 million in 2014. Fuel costs, which are largely passed on to customers through freight rates, declined significantly during the year and approx. Can $38 million of the decrease in revenue is a direct result of the pass-through effect of decreased fuel costs. The balance of the decrease in revenues results from a drop in rates earned due to stiff competition in the domestic dry-bulk business and to a drop in volumes carried in Algoma’s product tanker and ocean dry-bulk business units. After business conditions softened noticeably in the second half of

2015, Algoma made the difficult decision to retire five domestic dry-bulk vessels and a product tanker that had reached the end of its economic life. Algoma’s decision to retire the dry-bulk vessels

reflects the view that the current domestic market capacity exceeds

customer demand and certain of their older vessels are no longer economic to operate in these market conditions. As a result of taking these vessels out of service Algoma Central has accelerated depreciation on them and recorded an additional depreciation charge in the domestic dry-bulk segment in the fourth quarter of $3.3 million. The 730’ self-unloading lake freighter “Algomarine” (ex-Lake Manitoba) departed on 28

th April with its final

load of salt. Once in Montreal, the 26,220mtdw ship will be towed overseas and scrapped in Turkey. Two more bulk ships will be made idle when seven new, more fuel-efficient vessels are delivered by 2017 and 2018.

St. Lawrence Seaway total traffic in 2015 was 36,250 thousand tonnes, down 9.12% from 2014 and the lowest total tonnage since 2009’s 30,708 thousand tonnes and

the second lowest since 1996 which is the earliest

tonnage figures I currently have on-hand. All of the

major commodity groups were down with the

exception of iron ore, which was up 4.7%. The worst performer naturally was coal, with shipments off 40.61%,

followed by general cargo at 15.34%. Total transits

were at 3,781 down 3.96% the previous year and like the tonnage figures, the lowest number in the last 9 years and second lowest in at least the last 20 years.

2016’s total tonnages and transits are expected to

decline further.

Under U.S. law, vessel operators must report domestic waterborne

commercial movements to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. March

2016’s (bold red line) 47.4 million short tons of all commodities carried on internal U.S. Waterways was up both over February’s tonnage and March 2015, but February traditionally is a low month and March 2015’s 44.5 tons was the lowest tonnage recorded for that month in the last five

years. 13.5 million tons of petroleum were carried, the lowest tonnage since March 2013’s 13.2 million tons. The 4.9 million tons of chemicals moved in March 2016 were up 22.5% over February which was the highest tonnage in the last five years. Coal & coke gained a little over February and for the month were better than 2015, but still off 4% when you compare the January – March cumulative tonnage. 6.01 million short tons of Farm & Food Products were carried on internal U.S. Waterways in March.

U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration announced the availability of $5 million in Federal funds

to expand Marine Highway service by creating new or expanding existing services along designated Marine Highway routes. Marine Highway projects provide new modal choices to shippers of cargo, reduces transportation costs, and provide public benefits including reduced air emissions, reduced road maintenance costs, and improved safety and resiliency. A current project already funded is the Illinois Intrastate Shuttle project, aiming to shift about 5,500 containers in its first year of operation to reduce the congestion of north-south interstate 55 to the Mississippi River by providing soybean and grain shippers a new routing option. For the week ending April 30, barge grain movements totaled 885,648 tons, 11% higher than the previous week, and up 4% from the same period last year. 573 grain barges moved down river, up 12%; 598 grain barges were unloaded in New Orleans, down 13% from the previous week. For the week ending April 28, 36 ocean-going grain vessels were loaded in the Gulf, 24% more than the same period last year. Fifty vessels are expected to be loaded within the next 10 days, 2% more than the same period last year. For the week ending April 28, the ocean freight rate for shipping bulk grain from the Gulf to Japan was $25.00 per metric ton, unchanged from the previous week. The cost of shipping from the PNW to Japan was $15.00 per metric ton, unchanged from the previous week. For the week ending 3

rd May, the Illinois River Barge Freight Rate was 2%

lower than the previous week, 34% lower than one year ago and 26% lower than the three year average. Southbound weekly barge freight rates were down over the same period last year, anywhere from 18 – 34% (Twin Cities – Lower Illinois River) and down 18 – 27% from the three year average (Cairo / Memphis – St. Louis, Cincinnati & Lower Ohio). Grain barge movements on the Mississippi River (Locks 27 – Granit City, Illinois) for the week ending 30

th April were up

30% from last year and up 91% from the three year average.

Overall confidence levels in shipping fell to a record low in the three months to February 2016, according to the latest “Shipping Confidence Survey” from international

accountant and shipping adviser Moore Stephens. The average confidence level expressed by respondents in markets in they operate was 5.0 on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high). This compares to 5.6 recorded in November 2015, and the lowest rating in the life of the survey, launched in May 2008 with a confidence rating of 6.8. All main categories of respondent with exception of brokers (up from 4.6 to 5.1) recorded a fall in confidence, most notably charterers (down from 5.5 to 3.9), which is the lowest rating by any category of respondent in the history of the survey. Confidence on the part of owners and managers was also down, from 5.7 to 4.8 and from 5.8 to 5.5 respectively. Geographically, confidence was down in all major areas covered by the survey – in Asia from 6.0 to 4.4, in Europe from 5.4 to 5.1, and in North America from 5.7 to 4.7.

A number of respondents continued to express concern about the level of over-tonnaging, with one pointing out, “Newbuilding deliveries for 2016 will increase the total fleet by 10.5%, 7% of the current fleet is older than 20 years, and cargo volumes in 2015 were just 4.5% higher than in 2014, so the expected available fleet per metric ton of dry cargo available will be higher at the end of 2016 than it is now. As a result, there is no chance of freight levels improving.” Another respondent said, “As long as shipowners operate based on hope rather than on solid economics, there will always be booms and busts.” Particular concern was expressed about the state of the dry bulk market, with one respondent commenting, “No dry bulk business makes any remote sense. There are too many players, too many operators, and too many vessels chasing too few cargoes. Most fixtures are concluded merely to keep the banks happy in the belief that some tiny amount of cashflow is coming in.” Elsewhere it was noted, “Dry bulk is simply at the bottom of the bottom, and actually a little lower than that.” The need for accelerated demolition was also identified by a number of respondents, one of whom noted, “Scrapping activity is far from sufficient to compensate for incoming new tonnage.” Another observed, “Low scrapping prices provide little motivation for owners to demolish ships,” although another still said, “Increased scrapping may help achieve equilibrium in the dry bulk sector sooner rather than later.” Falling oil prices were also a recurring topic in responses to the survey. One respondent said, “Global bulk oil movements will be the key to conditions in the tanker market over the next 12 months. With storage facilities almost full to capacity, there will be nowhere to stock additional supplies unless global economies pick up and oil production is regulated.” Other respondents, meanwhile, saw some solace in soft oil prices, typified by the comment that, “The wet markets stand a better chance of remaining profitable on the back of weak crude oil prices.” Elsewhere, however, there was concern about the effect of falling oil prices on the offshore maritime sector, with one respondent noting, “There are companies in the offshore shipping market which are under pressure and in potential danger of being shut down.”

The likelihood of respondents making a major investment or significant development over the next 12 months was down on the previous survey, on a scale of 1 to 10, from 5.2 to 4.8, which equals the figure recorded in February 2009 as the lowest in the life of the survey to

date. Owners, managers and brokers were less confident in this regard than they were three months ago, but the confidence of charterers was up, from 4.8 to 5.1. One respondent said, “We are paying for excessive investments over the past five years by speculative funds that would win an Oscar for the quickest/largest destruction of capital in the shipping world.” Another said, “Weak demand is undermining confidence and investment.” The number of respondents who expected finance costs to increase over the next 12 months was down by five percentage points on last time, to 42%. The number of charterers anticipating dearer finance fell by 11 percentage points to 56%, but the number of owners of like mind rose by one percentage point to 36%. The number of brokers expecting a rise in finance costs, meanwhile, fell from 75% to 36%. One respondent said, “Millions of dollars are lost each day by owners, and soon will be by bankers. We are navigating very risky waters.” Another noted, “There is no future in this industry unless all sectors, including financiers, take a more in-depth approach.”

Demand trends, competition and tonnage supply featured as the top three factors cited by respondents as

those likely to influence performance most significantly over the coming 12 months. Demand trends, which were up by two percentage points to 26%, remained in first place, with competition (unchanged at 21%) in second place. Tonnage supply, at 15%, occupied third place, one percentage point ahead of finance costs. Operating costs, up by six percentage points to 12%, featured in fifth place, ahead of fuel costs and regulation at 4%, the latter representing a five percentage-point drop on the figures for November 2015.

One respondent said, “Demand has let us down at the most inopportune moment possible,” while another predicted, “Competition will remain fierce and only by aggressive marketing will we achieve growth.” There was a 16 percentage-point increase in the number of respondents anticipating lower freight rates in the tanker markets. But there was a small increase in the number of respondents anticipating higher rates in the dry bulk and container ship sectors, compared to the figures for November 2015. The net sentiment in the tanker market was -23, but +22 and +8 in the dry bulk and container ship sectors respectively. “Tankers should be able to benefit in 2016 from the lack of market consensus over oil price movements, with longer-term decisions delayed as operators search for direction,” noted one respondent, while another commented, “Dry bulk provides opportunities for investment only for cash-rich owners who can afford to lose in the near term.” In the container ship sector, meanwhile, the point was made that, “Sometimes it seems that container ship operators are guided more by market share considerations than by sound economics,” and yet another commented “Competition will remain fierce and only by aggressive marketing will we achieve growth”. Respondents were asked a stand-alone question concerning the level which they expected crude oil prices to be at in 12 months’ time. 31% predicted that the price would be between $30 and $39, while 26% put the figure at between $40 and $49. 10% of respondents thought the price would fall between $20 and $29. One respondent said, “It would be no surprise if crude tops $50 in the next 12 months, but anything significantly above that is unlikely.”

Shipping continued along its volatile course in the three months to end-February 2016, with the confidence of industry participants reaching the lowest level since the survey was launched in May 2008. This is disappointing and unsurprising in equal measure. When the Baltic Dry Index drops to an all-time low it is a real indication of the problems facing the shipping industry. The BDI doesn’t lie, and any doubts about the extent of those problems would have been dispelled over the past three months when reports of the fall in the BDI started to appear in the mass media, which generally carries only bad news insofar as it impacts the shipping industry. Most recently, however, there is better news, with the BDI starting to move upwards once more, gaining over 100 points within six weeks of plumbing the depths. Moreover, there is a reasonable expectation that the approaching peak harvest season will bolster demand for ships to carry grain and other commodities on international trade routes. This should boost the BDI further and, while shrinking demand for raw materials from China will continue to have an effect, the world will always need shipping to move its trade staples. Overcapacity in any industry will inevitably lead to price-cutting and eventually to financial difficulties for the weakest, the least well-prepared, or sometimes simply the unluckiest. Shipping has had its share of bankruptcies, foreclosures and restructurings during the past few years, and it is likely that we will see more over the coming months, with negotiations doubtless enlivened by the fact that shipping’s purse-strings today are often controlled by an intriguing mix of private equity and traditional shipping finance. The simple answer to overcapacity is to reduce numbers, but ships are too big to hide and disposing of excess units is more difficult in shipping than in most other industries, particularly when there are record numbers of new cabs just waiting to come off the rank. Increased ship recycling is one obvious answer, although current low scrap prices mean that fewer numbers of most tonnage types are being recycled. In a climate of continuing overcapacity, increased regulation, ongoing political unrest and economic instability, the shipping industry must find a way to supplement the bread-and-butter of its livelihood – the freight markets. Current indications are not good. The tanker industry may still be reaping a somewhat perverse benefit from low crude oil prices, but that window of opportunity may be starting to show the first signs of closing. Roughly a quarter of respondents to the survey predicted that crude prices would be between $40 and $49 in 12 months’ time which, whilst it would have bought you only just under half a barrel less than two years ago, is more in line with the current price level. The dry bulk sector, meanwhile, looks especially troubled, with one respondent to the survey claiming that new historic lows in dry bulk freight rates are being set every day. Reports suggest, however, that more and younger dry bulk vessels are being recycled in spite of weak demolition rates, and contrary to the trend with other categories of tonnage. In any industry, the price of a service or product must exceed the cost of providing that service or product in order to achieve a return on investment. In shipping, that is simply not happening at present. Operating costs are going up while

freight rates generally are not even keeping pace. Nobody doubts the ability of shipping to bounce back. It has a

long history of doing just that. This time, the only question is when.

Bunker Prices Worldwide For the second month in a row, there was an upswing in prices in all but one of the areas that we follow. Fujairah, which historically trails behind the other regions as far as responding to changes in supply and demand, declined a very minor 0.58%, closing March 2016 at US$ 431.0 from February’s US$ 433.50/mt and 41.16% below March 2015’s closing price of US$ 732.50/mt. Houston posted a modest 4.58% increase over February’s US$ 338.50/mt, closing at US$ 354.00/mt but was down 39.18% from March 2015’s US$ 582.00/mt. Rotterdam increased 10.37% over February’s US$ 299.00/mt to US$ 330.00/mt shrinking the decrease from one year ago to 36.23%. Singapore ended March at US$ 350.00, 13.09% higher than February’s US$ 309.50/mt, giving Singapore the lowest decline in year-over-year price comparisions at 33.71% against March 2015’s ending US$ 528.00/mt. The question is though what will happen now that the 17

th April OPEC meeting in Qatar failed

to come to any agreement on freezing output. We will have to wait for the next episode of this serial drama in June – and may not have an anwser then. In the United States, Kirby Corp.’s average 240 towboats operating 905 inland tank barges paid an average of US$ 1.27/gallon during first quarter 2016, compared to $1.68/gal. during fourth quarter 2015 and $2.06/gal. during first quarter 2015. Kirby's inland marine transportation business had utilization in the 90% to 95% range throughout the quarter, but pricing pressure persisted on both contract renewals and in the spot market. There were also some signs of improvement in the inland spot market in April. In the coastal marine transportation market, utilization during the quarter was in the high-80% to low-90% range. Overall, coastal market supply and demand remained roughly in balance throughout the quarter. Demand for inland barge transportation of petrochemicals and refined petroleum products was stable, while demand for black oil was weaker on both a year over year and sequential basis. On 15

th

April, Kirby closed the previously announced acquisition of the inland tank barge fleet of Seacor Holdings Inc. for $88 million in cash and transfer to Seacor of a Florida-based ship docking tug. The asset purchase consisted of 27 inland 30,000 barrel tank barges and 13 inland towboats, plus one 30,000 barrel tank barge and one towboat currently under construction.

Pacific OPIS contract average weekly prices of ultra-low sulphur diesel also saw an increase for the second month in a row, with increases mirroring the same range we saw in the MGO prices above. For the week ending 1

st April 2016 compared to the

week ending 26th February 2016, Seattle posted a 7.40%

increase to US$ 1.6253 per gallon from US$ 1.5133/gal. Portland, OR rose 7.22% to US$ 1.6587/gal (US$ 1. 5470/gal). San Francisco gained 9.94% to US$ 1.8512/gal from US$ 1.6838/gal. “So. California Tugs”, comprised of Los Angeles / Long Beach, increased the most at 12.07% to US$ 1.8469/gal from US$ 1.6480/gal. El Segundo closed up 3.63% to US$ 2.71/gal from US$ 2.615/gal. Hawaii rose 11.39% to US$ 1.76/gal from US$ 1.58/gal. The week of April 8

th saw prices

decrease from 1.45% in “So. California” to 6.25% in Hawaii, except El Segundo which had a barely there increase of 0.18%.

According to the Paris-based, International Energy

Agency’s “Oil Market Report”, crude oil prices rallied to a four-month high in mid-April as further evidence emerged of accelerating declines in US output, while market participants held out hope that upcoming producer talks would agree to a deal to help manage a still massive supply overhang. At the time of writing, Brent was at $44.30/bbl and US WTI was at $41.75/bbl. Growth in global oil demand will ease to around 1.2mb/d in 2016, below 2015's 1.8mb/d expansion, as notable decelerations take hold across China, the U.S. and much of Europe. Preliminary 1Q16 data reveal this is already occurring, with year-on-year growth down to +1.2mb/d, after gains of +1.4mb/d in 4Q15 and +2.3mb/d in 3Q15. OPEC crude oil production fell by 90kb/d in March to 32.47mb/d as ongoing outages in Nigeria, the UAE and Iraq more than offset a further increase from Iran and higher flows from Angola. Supply from Saudi Arabia dipped in March but held near 10.2mb/d. Global oil supplies sank by 0.3mb/d in March to 96.1mb/d, with annual gains shrinking to 0.2mb/d, from 1.7mb/d a month earlier and 2.7mb/d in 2015. The outlook for non-OPEC production in 2016 is largely unchanged since last month's Report, at 57.0mb/d, 710kb/d less than the 2015 average. 1Q16 global refinery runs are estimated 79.3mb/d, 1.2mb/d up year on year (y-o-y), in line with global demand growth. The forecast for 2Q16 throughput is at 79.7mb/d, up only 0.8mb/d y-o-y, slower than forecast 1.1mb/d demand growth. All of the net growth in the first half of 2016 comes from non-OECD refiners. Commercial stocks in the OECD built counter-seasonally by 7.3mb in February to end the month at 3 060mb. Accordingly, the overhang of inventories against average levels widened to 387mb at end-month. Preliminary information for March suggests OECD holdings rose further while volumes of crude held in floating storage increased.

Per the latest U.S. Energy Information Administration’s “Short-Term Energy Outlook”, Brent crude oil spot prices increased by $6/bbl in March to a monthly average of $38/bbl. Declines in the U.S. rig count and some improvement in global economic indicators contributed to higher oil prices in March. However, market expectations of ongoing growth in

global oil inventories contributed to falling prices at the end of March, with Brent prices ending the month below $37/bbl. With global oil inventory builds expected to average 1.4 million b/d in 2016, oil prices are forecast to remain near current levels. Forecast Brent prices average $35/b in 2016. Global oil inventories are expected to grow by 0.4 million b/d in 2017. Lower forecast inventory builds contribute to a moderate price recovery in 2017, with Brent prices forecast to average $41/bbl. Forecast Brent prices reach an average of $46/bbl in the fourth quarter of 2017, as the global oil market is expected to be relatively balanced late in 2017, with the potential for significant inventory draws beyond the forecast period. Forecast West Texas

Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices average the same as Brent crude oil prices through the forecast period. The price parity of WTI with Brent in the forecast period is based on the assumption of competition between the two crudes in the U.S. Gulf Coast refinery market, as transportation differentials are similar to move the crudes from their respective pricing points to that market. The expectation of continuing large inventory builds is a major source of uncertainty in the price forecast, as the capacity of global oil storage to absorb such builds is unknown. If global storage capacity becomes stressed, the cost of storage will rise to reflect more expensive marginal storage options such as floating inventories on crude oil tankers. The higher storage costs would lower near-month crude oil prices. Additional uncertainty stems from the pace of global economic growth and its contribution to oil demand growth and from the responsiveness of oil producers to sustained low oil prices.
