just when the market was making a ''comeback''  the lehmann and so called domino effect struck.... everybody is K.O.
question now is ''when will  the recovery be'' as certainly there will be one!
some operators are taking on period vsls at 'lower than used to be' numbers as a gamble which is really a gamble... and
well.., the page is forecast page and it goes as follows :
2009 is to be forgotten. running costs will not be achieved.
when finance in order, enough scrapped, most laid up, a recovery in 2h 2009 is expected whenafter laidups get in market and again disaster.. a recovery in 2011, but owners not the real deal but only a service sector as in the past. 2-3 more similar cycles for the bliss. a generalization : bad markets dont recover before 3-4 years.
 
 
 
 

The Turkish Shipowners

The fleet is being renewed at high costs; the orders on books by Turkish Shipowners are already higher than expected, and is growing day-by-day. The old units, which are making unbelievable money today,  are being sold for cash reasons(*), and the orders are to be acquired mainly 2009/2010/2011. The market within 2-3 years from now apparently will be a key issue for the well-standing of these quite a few major owners of Turkey.

(*) idea behind this; ''these units will never attract any customer at these levels ever.''
