Japan's domestic owners in traditional ship investment return. Most recent investors are smaller than panama ship type of the small and medium-sized bulk carrier. And is one of the reasons for the cape of good hope compared to the large ships such as investment and borrowing less and build the risk is relatively low. And once in order to retain the diversification and expansion of fleet tanker ownership, now look at this kind of practice is not worth it. Owner's demand changes on the volume adjustment strategy of shipping industry has a certain influence.

Ship's operating because of the yen rise has dramatically improved. Enterprise larger ship owners to invest again since last year, have identified the ship built for the foreign market. Financial institutions also eased the owner financing posture, to aid its investment. Although accounts for only a small part of all the order of the owner, but with the improvement of the performance, to invest the owner could be increasing in the future, it has become a must.

Great changes have taken place only, content than before. "The proposed financing basically is aimed at a bulk carrier, and which is smaller than panama ship type accounted for more than half" (financial) related personnel. The ship owner want and ship type may change as the age and the market situation changes. The shipowner order is mainly oriented state boat club is smaller than big handy-size ships of small and medium-sized bulk carrier, the shipping boom after 2003 form is changed. During this period, for the sake of the fleet's diversification, is not only the capesize ships and other large ship, including product oil ship, chemical tanker construction also expanded rapidly. With 300000 tons of heavy minerals ship, 8000 teu container ship, VLCC combined shipowners emerge in endlessly.

Now "bulk carrier if investment is still relatively good, ship, chemical industrial products of these special ship for ship management burden is heavy. Special ship market is small, to want to sell it is difficult to sell as a last resort. The bulk carrier very good sell it so easy to come out." Many of the owner company operators said so. So far in 2012, the yen soared to make owner went through a period of recession, bulk carriers also began to instability. At the same time, the preference in bulk shipowners accounted for the vast majority of small and medium-sized ship type.

One reason is that the regrets keep many tanker. In the owner's economic recession, "because the ship types of dispersion, in order to prevent the management risk of hedge, for the purpose of advancing chemical ship market many shipowners are in operation in" (owner company operator said). In front of the class ship international oil companies, cost of the owner of the pressure increase, headed by the crew fee shipping funds in a high state, to the owner's continuing negative impact on performance.

"Portfolio diversification can promote maintain fleet multilaterally, but the hand has a tanker is failure" (owner company operator). The ship of the owner should keep "tanker is not Japan, do not recommend owners to build" (financial) related personnel. Keep oil tanker evading consciousness to unprecedented levels.

On the way of bulk carrier regression, shipping boom surge in the number of the cape of good hope ship form now seems to have fallen by the wayside. Demand less, plus form large, funds ensure that is a problem. Owners because the yen higher cost a lot of enterprise strength, as a new production of ship construction premise of funds to ensure that now is not a small problem. In proportion to the total investment capital accounts for ship price certain situations, the more cheap small boats, capital of the lighter burden, the easier it is to build. Financial institutions financing amount is the same, the smaller the ship type financing amount is less, and the easier access to capital.

Large and small and medium-sized bulk carrier market, sales of liquidity is big, the market is made up of a variety of goods and routes, compared to the cape of good hope ship type, medium and small type higher the stability of the market.

Although future as the change of market environment, the consciousness of the owners may change, but according to the current situation of small and medium-sized bulk carrier regression trend will continue. Domestic and foreign shipping companies are likely to be for a period of time, in new development of oil tanker, large bulk carrier, will be more and more difficult.
