LPG consumption has increased by an estimated 15% since 2000, with continued growth in demand world-wide, with particular expansion in the Chinese and Indian markets. At the same time, seaborne LPG trades have expanded by 29% since 2000.
The LPG vessel fleet has expanded by over 19% during this time frame - this increase has been buoyed by the forecast growth in demand for LPG and rising freight rates.
After large-scale rate escalation in 2004-05, freight rates increased further in 2006, to some of the highest levels recorded since the early 1990s.
The expansion of the fleet is forecast to take on a new dimension in the near future, as a large number of vessels currently under construction are delivered.The current orderbook stands at 48% of fleet capacity.
The future of LPG demand is still in the balance. US demand has slowed, as has Japanese and South Korean demand. This is in parallel with increasing LNG imports in these markets. Chinese and Indian LPG imports might also be affected in the future by increased imports of LNG.
Large-scale fleet expansion will more than compensate for the obsolescence of a significant volume of old vessels. The impact of so many new vessels could have dramatic and significant implications on the LPG shipping market.

This detailed Report examines the outlook for all aspects of the LPG carrier market throughout the period to 2018, through in-depth analysis of recent/current developments and extensive future forecasts.Included in the Report are detailed analyses and forecasts in the areas of:
Trade volumes and patterns;
Fleet development (incl. newbuilding and scrapping);
Vessel operating costs;
Vessel freight rates;
Vessel demand and supply;
Vessel profitability.

Cruise ships operate mostly on routes that return passengers to their originating port. In contrast, dedicated transport oriented ocean liners do "line voyages" and typically transport passengers from one point to another, rather than on round trips. Some cruise ships also engage in longer trips which may not lead back to the same port for many months (longer round trips). Cruise shipping currently faces market conditions unprecedented in this hitherto highly expansionary sector - demand was hit hard by the events of September 11th and continues to exhibit very visible signs of damage, whilst the scale of recent years' new vessel ordering by the major lines guarantees large-scale fleet growth over the near-term.

The structure of the industry is also undergoing large-scale change, with underlying emerging problems for many operators accentuated by the recent demand downturn and leading to cases of bankruptcy, with increased consolidation by the major groups. The trend to ever-larger ships continues at a rapid pace, whilst new concepts for cruise ship design and operation continue to emerge, with varying degrees of success in terms of being turned into reality. In terms of vessel itineraries, the widening diversity of locations acting as home-ports and the opening-up of new markets continue to offer substantial opportunity for large-scale changes in cruise patterns throughout the next decade and beyond.

This Report - the 9th in-depth passenger shipping industry analysis published the highlights the current/recent developments throughout the industry, and presents detailed forecasts on what is likely to be witnessed over the period to 2015 in the areas of:- 
The Cruise Ship Fleet
Cruise Ship Operators
Patterns of Vessel Employment
Cruise Ship Repair & Newbuilding Yards
Cruise Ship Ports
Cruise Markets.  

The Report provides an invaluable independent set of detailed analyses on the future development prospects for all aspects of cruise shipping. It is essential reading for all parties with an interest in this rapidly changing sector.

Source: http://www.articletrader.com ]]> http://www.articletrader.com/business/bharatbook.com-demand-of-north-european-containerports.html http://www.articletrader.com/business/bharatbook.com-demand-of-north-european-containerports.html Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:30:26 -0500 North European containerport demand has expanded rapidly over the past decade, despite some slowdown in the pace in 2001. Growth has been driven primarily by trade expansion, further conversion to containerisation and - most importantly by the continuing push for globalisation. The strongest growth has been in the deep-sea sector and this has placed increasing pressure on infrastructure investment, particularly in the port and intermodal sectors.
Despite this expansion there have been major uncertainties. Questions include:
How confident can we he about medium-term demand projections - is globalisation unstoppable or is there a significant downside in demand forecasting? What will be the effect of slower expansion since end-2000?
The pace of capacity additions - how will greater port demand he reconciled with increasingly vociferous environmental opposition?
Terminal productivity has improved sharply - what does this mean for future greenfield port developments?
What will be the role of transshipment - how important is this in securing front-rank port status?
How will competition from Mediterranean hub ports affect the North European market?
How rapidly will demand increase in Eastern Europe and how can deep-sea north-continent ports develop market share?
Ship sizes are still increasing and will continue to do so - what will be the effect on major river ports?
What will be the role of the principal international stevedoring companies in the European market and how will this affect productivity and pricing?
The related search by the major lines for dedicated terminal capacity is another important issue - how will this develop?
The EU is increasing its role in the port sector - what will be the potential effects on the highly efficient container terminal industry?
This major new study examines these issues, and represents essential and informed evaluation of this strategically vital sector.
The study analyses the historical evolution of demand and recent developments for each port. Future demand is forecast to 2015 for direct deep-sea, direct short-sea and transshipment flows. The port regions and countries covered in the study are:
North Continent West: France, Belgium, Netherlands
North Continent East: North Sea Germany
British Isles: UK and Ireland
Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland
Other Baltic: Baltic Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Baltic Germany
On the supply side, current investment projects and plans are evaluated. The resultant prospective development of port capacity is quantified to 2010. Prospective demand and supply are compared to 2010, in order to identify potential under-utilisation or capacity shortfalls.
The modal distribution for each major port - including road, rail, barge and transshipment - is assessed, and intermodal development plans are reviewed. The modal alternatives to the Eastern European markets are examined. Container handling capabilities are also reviewed, and port productivity levels are quantified in terms of berth and crane utilisation levels.
This study examines world containership fleet trends, with particular emphasis on the continuing advance in vessel sizes. The implications for port development are thoroughly examined in light of current port locations and water-depth restrictions. Trends and forecasts for container trade and shipping capacity in the North European trades are also provided.

It is often argued that the inorganic options are interim, because the progress is coming to an end whereas organics are "future proof". Nothing could be further from the truth. For conductors with vastly better conductance and cost, for the best printed batteries, for quantum dot devices and for transistor semiconductors with ten times the mobility, look to the new inorganics. That is the emerging world of new nanoparticle metal and alloy inks that are magnitudes superior in cost, conductivity and stability, such as the flexible zinc oxide based transistor semiconductors working at ten times the frequency and with best stability and life, along with many other inorganic materials. Read the world's only report that pulls all this together in readable form.
Detailed forecasts
In 2009, the amount spent on inorganic electronic components and inorganic materials for composite components will be $1.1 billion of a $1.92 billion market for all of printed electronics. Much of this is in fairly mature markets - metal flake ink used for conductors in heated windscreens, membrane keyboards and circuit boards; and disposable sensors for the multi billion glucose sensor labels sold yearly. However, also making an impact in 2009 in this figure are electrophoretic, electroluminescent and electrochromic displays, laminar batteries and thin film photovoltaics such as CIGS and CDTe devices.

In 2009 inorganic semiconductors will begin to be sold from companies such as Kovio for RFID tags, being able to perform to existing RFID tag standards thanks to much higher mobilities than organic semiconductors. We find that in 2019, of a total $57.16 billion market (which includes printed and thin film displays, logic, memory, photovoltaics, power and sensors), the amount spent on inorganic components as a whole or in composites with organics will be approximately 50.7% - $28.98 billion. This highlights the importance of inorganic printed electronics and the opportunity for companies to be involved. With over 160 tables and figures, this report critically compares the options, the trends and the emerging applications. It is the first in the world to comprehensively cover this exciting growth area. The emphasis is on technology basics, commercialisation and the key players.
Technologies covered
The report considers inorganic printed and thin film electronics for displays, lighting, semiconductors, sensors, conductors, photovoltaics, batteries and memory giving detailed company profiles not available elsewhere. The coverage is global - with companies from East Asia to Europe to America covered in this report. The full contents list is shown at the bottom of this page.

The application of the technology in relation to other types such as organic electronics and silicon chips is given, with detailed information clearly summarised in over 160 tables and figures, such as those below. The table shows the likely impact of inorganic printed and potentially printed technology to 2019 by giving the dominant chemistry by device and device element. Dark green shows where inorganic technology is extremely important for the active (non-linear) components such as semiconductors. Light green shows important contributions from hybrid inorganic-organic technology. Red shows where organic technology has the greatest potential over inorganic.

Elements being targeted
In order to meet the widening variety of needs for printed and potentially printed electronics, not least in flexible, low cost form, a rapidly increasing number of elements are being brought to bear as illustrated below. Oxides, amorphous mixtures and alloys are particularly in evidence. Even the so-called organic devices such as OLEDs variously employ such materials as B, Al and Ti oxides and nitrides as barrier layers against water and oxygen, Al, Cu, Ag and indium tin oxide as conductors, Ca or Mg cathodes and CoFe nanodots, Ir and Eu in light emitting layers, for example.
Value chain dynamics studied
For some, it becomes a matter of "Shall I make the new inorganics printable?" or "Shall I make organics work better?" Not everyone is jumping the same way. Indeed there is a spectrum of choice as shown in the figure below. Here we are simplifying in calling the right side "organic" because it almost always involves metal conductors, just as the left side often involves organic substrates. The technologies live together - and that is not just an interim stage.

Consumers making or intending to make an active choice are defined as those who switch provider for a given financial product or service during the time frame under review or those buying the product or service having not held it during the previous year, thereby excluding respondents who merely remain with the same provider. As such, the Channel Metrics series constitutes the most detailed and up-to-date guide to distribution trends in consumer financial services in Germany available on a published basis.
 Key questions addressed by the research include the following: - what is the rate of progress of the Internet as a distribution interface and online aggregators and price comparison providers as a specific distribution channel and how does this vary from product to product? - for which financial products and services does there appear to be a consistent requirement on the part of consumers for face-to-face interaction? - to what extent are private banks, savings banks and co-operative banks increasing their market share for insurance products that they distribute on an intermediated basis? - what impact are commercial partners such as loyalty schemes, the Post Office, supermarkets and other retailers having on the distribution systems used for consumer financial services? - what are the distribution trends for rarely researched niche financial products such as breakdown recovery insurance, car finance and leasing contracts, dental insurance, legal expenses insurance and long-term care insurance? Overall, the Channel Metrics series offers detailed and unique insights into current and future trends in distribution channel usage across 25 distinct financial products and services - with a dedicated briefing having been produced for each - as follows: motor insurance, breakdown recovery insurance, extended warranties (for cars), household insurance, protection life insurance, private health insurance, hospital cash insurance, dental insurance, personal accident insurance, funeral expenses insurance, work incapacity insurance, mortgages, personal loans / consumer finance, payment protection insurance, car finance and leasing contracts, credit cards, legal expenses insurance, personal liability insurance, travel insurance, savings accounts, savings bonds, investment life insurance, private pension insurance, supplementary pension insurance and long-term care insurance. Channel Metrics: Trends in Consumer Distribution Channel Usage in Financial Services in Germany is based on the results of an on-line survey of 3,000 consumers arranged by mo'web during November and December 2008.

If compared to previous - 2008 edition, it has been upgraded with new analyses and contains now 118 pages. When preparing this report we have also responded to the feedback received form our customers and have incorporated several improvements making this new issue even more client-friendly and informative.
After promising first half of the year, the banking sector in Poland has been hit hard in Q4 2008. Abrupt currency depreciation, sudden standstill on the inter-bank market and decoupling of WIBOR reference rate from the real cost of money, made the operating conditions for banks difficult. In particular, banks suffered from sudden explosion of funding costs and erosion of interest margins while their operating costs could not be adjusted accordingly. As a result, the combined net profit of commercial banks in 2008 fell by fraction to 12.8 billion, while the total revenue (NBR*) increased by almost 16% to PLN 43.4 billion. In terms of volumes, a solid growth of household deposits and loans could be observed during whole 2008. Surge in value of retail loans was fueled by both: strong new sales and depreciating currency (in last months of the year the Zloty depreciation inflated fx-denominated lending portfolios). Finally, stagnating profits and growing volumes resulted in a significant fall of sector ROAA** to 1.56% from 1.96% a year before

Even the torch-bearing LCV GC sub-segment of Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) <=3.5 tonnes witnessed a slowing growth rate in H1 FY09 and started H2 FY09 with a y-o-y decline of 19.63% in the month of October. The rising interest rates, stringent lending norms, falling industrial growth rates and resumption of overloading are the main reasons for the current mayhem in the CV market. The bottom line of the manufacturers too came under pressure especially in Q4 FY08 and Q1 FY09 due to the increase in input cost. The average steel prices remained high in FY08 and in Q1 FY09 and the rubber prices too started creeping up in Q1 FY09. To recover costs, the manufacturers resorted to a series of vehicle price hikes from beginning of FY09 onwards. This led to a tricky situation where manufacturers increased vehicle prices when demand was actually falling.
The situation at the freight operator end too has been grim for some time now. After seeing a healthy freight rate growth in FY07, the rates came under pressure in FY08. However, as average diesel prices declined in FY08, the operators managed to sail through. In H1 FY09, diesel prices increased but the freight rate hike has not been commensurate with the diesel price hike. As a result, the operator profitability has come under pressure. Also, with rising vehicle cost, rising tyre cost and increased financing cost; the fleet operators are resorting to postponement of new vehicle purchases.
Growth Estimates
In the short term, the industry growth is expected to be weighed down by the adverse macro-economic environment. Though the interest rates are not likely to climb up any more in this fiscal, it will take some time for the availability of credit to improve. In FY09,we expects the GC unit sales to grow between 4-5% while in tonnage terms, the segment is likely to see de-growth of 2-3%. We estimates the GC segment to register a 5-year Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6-7.5% in tonnage sales. The PC segment is expected to grow between 6-8%.

The report also describes materials (both organic and inorganic) and device structures as well as various high-speed printing technologies employed. We find that the market for thin film inorganic photovoltaic technologies beyond crystalline silicon will reach at least $20 billion in 2014. The global solar energy market is expected to reach $34 billion in 2010 and $100 billion in 2050 and most of that latter figure is expected to be achieved by non-silicon photovoltaics. Along with other manufacturing techniques, printing (or printing-like) technologies are gradually being adopted (Nanosolar, G24 Innovations in the PV sector, Power Paper, Solicore and Thin Battery technology in the batteries sector), as they can be considered to be some of the fastest, least expensive and highest volume manufacturing techniques. With printed electronics becoming more prevalent, there is an increasing need for power to supply them; printing is amenable to a large number of different types of devices with the possibility of integration (e.g. to provide onboard power etc.)

This report provides a comprehensive list of key companies that are active in each of the thin film photovoltaic and battery technologies. Compiled and analyzed by Dr Harry Zervos, technology company profiles are given along with 20 year forecasts for the growth of the market share of these technologies. Dr Bruce Kahn, consultant and academic, gives a thorough analysis of the science and technology behind thin film photovoltaics and batteries, as well as a comparison of different high-speed printing techniques.
New Technologies Emerging
Silicon photocells are seen in many places but the technology is limited. Crystalline silicon will never give tightly rollable devices let alone transparent ones or even low cost power generation on flexible substrates. Fortunately there are many new alternatives. Proprietary nano-particle silicon printing processes are developed by companies such as Innovalight and Kovio and it promises many of the photovoltaic features that conventional silicon can never achieve. It can be printed reel to reel on stainless steel or other high temperature substrates. Several companies, universities and research institutes are hard at work in different development stages of these technologies with large scale plants being built across the globe.

However, most of the work on the next generation of photovoltaics is directed at printing onto low cost flexible polymer film and ultimately on common packaging materials. The main contenders are currently:
CIGS
CdTe
DSSC
Organic Photovoltaics
