LNG Tanker Rates Fall 17% on Increase in Vessels
Charter rates for liquefied natural gas tankers on short-term hauls declined 17 percent last year because of an increase in new vessels, Poten & Partners said. Rates to rent LNG tankers fell to about $46,600 a day for steam turbine vessels of 138,000 to 150,000 cubic meters in capacity, Poten, a U.S. energy consultant, said in a report e mailed today.
“With a record number of new builds entering the fleet, market needs were easily accommodated and except for a few instances, prompt ships were always available,” according to the report. “Despite a robust cargo market with record numbers of spot shipments being diverted from the Atlantic Basin to destinations east of Suez, chartering activity remained muted through July.” The number of LNG ships worldwide will increase by more than 50 percent in 2010 after shipyards delivered a record 58 vessels last year, David Fuller, the London-based head of LNG for RWE AG, said at the Gas Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Daily charter rates in 2008 were in a range of $40,000 to $50,000 about 60 percent of the time, according to Poten. Charter rates for ships transporting spot cargoes have declined to about $35,000 to $40,000 a day currently, Gunaseharan Ganapathy, vice president of LNG at MISC Bhd., said yesterday. Charterers may have paid as much as $75,000 a day during winter 2007, according to Drewry Maritime Services Ltd.

Hallin, Bina Marine cancel subsea support vessel contract
SINGAPORE: Marco Polo Marine subsidiary Bina Marine and Hallin Marine Subsea International have canceled a SGD 74.5 million (US$49.4 million) shipbuilding contract for SOV Coniston, a DP2 subsea operations vessel.
The vessel, originally scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2010, would have been Hallin's third subsea operations vessel. The contract, signed in late 2008, was discontinued on mutual consent as Bina Marine was unable to fulfill certain pre-completion conditions to the contract, including necessary repayment guarantees. Bina Marine and Hallin Marine are reviewing their options in light of current economic uncertainty, and are considering re-negotiating the contract if the conditions can be met.Read More

OCEC and Xenel in JV talks
CNOOC Energy Technology & Services offshoot CNOOC Oilfield Construction & Engineering Company, (CNOOC OCEC) is involved in advanced talks with Saudi Arabia’s Xenel Industries to set up a joint venture for providing services to companies operating in the Middle East.
The two companies have largely agreed on the terms of the joint venture, which has recently won approval from CNOOC OCEC’s parent CNOOC. They are now finalising details of the joint venture contract, which is expected to be signed in a matter of months, sources said. China-based sources said Xenel’s interest in CNOOC OCEC relates to the latter’s low labour cost. The joint venture will largely target providing services to state-owned giant Saudi Aramco, sources added. Tianjin-based CNOOC OCEC provides integral services of offshore engineering design, construction and commissioning, but it is more specialised in providing services in offshore field maintenance and repair. It has subsidiary companies or offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhanjiang and Ningbo cities. The tie-up with Xenel will be the first such joint venture for CNOOC OCEC. The Chinese company previously focused almost entirely on providing services to Chinese offshore fields owned by CNOOC.
