China will allow Vale 400,000-ton bulk carrier in the Chinese port of discharge? On April 5, China shipowners ' Association official said, this is not informed, but lamented the matter from various parties opposed to evolution to this, because "no lead department". Vale's direct distribution center in China by China, conservative, or even resist the attitude within the iron and steel industry, is trend market that appears, select sound.
Prior to this, said Tito Martins, Vale, Chief Financial Officer, China will be in a few months "lifted" the company's iron ore giant fleet.
"My personal opinion, as long as they can reduce the cost of Chinese iron and steel enterprises iron ore pressure, both on the domestic and international transport enterprises, should give a positive attitude. "CISA, Executive Deputy Secretary General Li Xin said.
The end of 2011, Vale tried to ultra large cargo ship completed loading and unloading in Dalian port, triggering strong rebound in the domestic shipping industry, ports, mills, shipbuilding, banking and other stakeholders ' involvement in the game. End of January 2012, the Department of transport published a very large ship berthing dock new rules to strengthen the management of limited local ports accept large ships berthed.
Two months later, now the limit sign is loose. "I think, traffic of rein new rules, is a based on shipping market, and owner Association and part steel enterprises concerns Xia of temporarily behavior," China port network senior analyst Zheng ping, analysis, "ship large, and Harbour Sham Shui Po of are inevitable, previously if said is considered shipping enterprise position, now as national level on full industry chain of considered, estimated last in the foreign will reached a compromise of results. ”
Vale: from high profile to a low profile.
On December 28, 2011, Vale wheels to lease "Berge, Everest", Mount 388,000 tonnes of iron ore, berthing and complete discharge of Dalian port, this "test" limit of 400,000 tons tonnage of Dalian port, China's response to the ship.
Represent the interests of shipping company owner immediately convened a meeting to Dalian port to write to, and a letter to the Ministry of transport. Ministry of transport of post a notice on January 29, for very large dry bulk cargo, oil the wheels, China will not be able to take "a boat on the" way of managing such a large ship berthing, accept the code for design of Super ship berthing dock the boat must submit an application to the Ministry of transport, must be approved in order to allow large ships into the Harbor to dock.
Analysis of Zheng ping, which meant that Vale vulnerable "close the door". "Vale which is seasoned. High profile from the start, and confront the tough with toughness, go to the low-key, then threw an olive branch. ”
Vale's first statement on February 1, it owns or leases the 400,000-ton iron ore carriers will be in full compliance with regulatory requirements under the premise of China by China Ferry Terminal parking.
Subsequently, Brazil Lobao, minerals and Energy Minister said Brazil preparing contacts with China, wants to allow China Port Vale very large ships. On February 15, Brazil's Vale Executive Director Jose Martins visited Dalian port, stressed the many years of cooperation between the two sides.
Iron and steel industry: reducing priority.
The Vale in the lobbying process, shipowners ' Association called upon more and more isolated.
He introduced new rules, and numerous letter reflected the relevant shipowners ' Association. Grounds, threatening domestic shipping business interests, in particular security implications larger. 400,000-ton ship was parked there is no precedent or lack of appropriate technical standards and norms, for port, there are many security risks and uncertainty factors.
Shipowners ' Association said: "with so many related industries, but no authority of a lead department, you just said the words. ”
Zheng ping, noted that: "in addition to owner involves many stakeholders. Ports who would not oppose, Vale in the North and contacts such as Dalian, Qingdao, Rizhao, preliminary estimates of a year of incremental, there are 70 million tons of iron ore, both for improving throughput, is energy hub, port competition is also fierce. ”
Vale in the great plan of 12 orders in the country's largest private ship Enterprise rongsheng heavy industries (01101 hands. Chen Qiang, Chief Executive, recently said that company has delivered last year, this year is expected to deliver 9-10, remaining a postponed to next year's delivery, and berthing port clarifying vessel Vale were banned in the Mainland is "misunderstood".
In addition, the Vale also had agreed to with the import and export Bank of China, Bank of China $ 1.229 billion loan agreement for the construction of the 400,000 ton-class large ore transport vessel.
"Shipbuilding, banking, shipping and distribution of industrial interests, you need to measure. Owner of voice weak, but this time, if there is a change of attitude of the iron and steel industry, is another driving force. "Zheng Ping said.
The night of March 29, Beijing international exchange of mining rights and Brazil's Vale signed a memorandum, Vale on China's iron ore trading platform "support", first expressed support for the big three companies. Li Xin said that mines to join the platform and the Vale has its own fleet of Chinese ports of call were two issues.
Li Xin create said, "for ship by Hong Kong a thing, I of understanding has three points: as long as can reduced raw materials cost are welcomes, shipping fee fluctuations sometimes than ore away from Bank price itself also more; second, China last year imports total near 700 million tons iron ore, no which a can monopoly; also has, anti-views domestic capacity, and games can and service, at least steel industry with domestic enterprise transport iron ore stone of ratio very less, this problem should reflection why, and not just limit. ”
Previously, for the Vale in Chinese ore distribution centers and transit platforms, iron and steel industry has two views: are concerns about monopolies and price manipulation; the other believe that, anyway, is to be built, and built in South-East Asia, rather than being built in China. Vale in amansuhaer Hong Kong's formal establishment of logistics distribution center, located in the Philippines marine floating transport platform, in Malaysia is being built and port logistics distribution center, 400,000 tons of super large ore carrier-led consortium to build, a concern before gradually watered down.
