After the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008,
the world economy is still fighting for recovery. Despite China’s economic growth
continues (though at slower pace) shipping industry hasn’t yet recovered the 94%
BDI’s crash from its highs in June, 2008.
Ship finance is scarce and out of 100 banks which were
active in lending money in 2007 there are hardly 20 left world wide today.
The vessels’ prices have been decreased significantly
following the freight market levels and the BDI.
Bunker prices remain high and cargoes transported are not
enough to cover the over supply of tonnage.
Shipping companies overleveraged are struggling to
survive and those who didn’t extend too much are coping with difficulties.
Despite a small freight market correction, in the last
two months, there is no evidence of a real lasting recovery and many shipping experts, like Mr. Steve Rodley,
managing partner of Global Maritime Investments, believe
that this downturn cycle will last for quite some time longer.
In view of the apparent need to economize and the forthcoming
P&I renewals ship managing companies are organizing their strategies to cut
down their p&I premium costs as much as possible.
Although, P&I premium cost, is a “must have” cost,
it results from the type, the ‘volume’ and the extend of insurance which buys
you. Nevertheless, as all costs, it is also subject to the free market rules
and competition, know how, planning and policy terms and conditions.
Thus, we, here at Marasco Marine Ltd, have well thought
tailor made p&I insurance plans which promise to reduce the cost of your
p&I premium from 10% up to 25% per vessel.
Risk and premium costs Management is our expertise
since 1991 and throughout the last two and a half decades we have assisted many
Ship Managers and Ship Owners, around the world, to cut down their premium expense
enabling thus themselves to withstand the downturn cycle of the shipping crisis.
Why you want to stay still and not act upon changing
what needs change in a changed market? Why to pay too much when your
competitors get specialized advise on how to make a difference in what you don’t
dare to question?
Its usually our bias which prevent us to see further opportunities
and not act!
