Romania Shipping Report Q2 2010Published by: Business Monitor International Published: Feb. 26, 2010 - 88 Pages Table of Contents
AbstractIn the Q210 Romania Shipping Report we forecast an upturn in the country's maritime sector, as tradevolumes look set to begin to recover from the downturn of 2009. Imports and exports are expected toincrease by 1.8% and 4.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) respectively in 2010, and this will have a knock-on effectat the country's ports, as cargo volumes passing through the ports increase.BMI's shipping team forecasts that Romania's main port, the port of Constantza, will experience aprojected y-o-y throughput growth in total tonnage of 2.3%, while container volumes are expected toincrease by 12.8% in 2010. This is a considerable improvement on 2009 throughput at the port, which owing to the downturn inglobal trade volumes and the decline of Romania's total trade by 11.9% (imports by 11%, exports by13.5%) saw the port of Constantza's total tonnage fall by 32.1%, from 61.8mn to 42mn tonnes and thefacility's container throughput volumes fall by 57%, from 1.38mn to 594,299 20-foot equivalent units(TEUs). The handling of liquid bulk decreased from 14.4mn to 11.7mn tonnes (-18.4%, y-o-y); dry bulkfigures fell by 30.1%, from 29.6mn to 20.7mn tonnes; and the handling of general cargo decreased from4.8mn to 3.6mn tonnes (-25.3%, y-o-y). The number of sea-going vessels visited the port fell by 16%,from 5,905 in 2008 to 4,961 in 2009; river vessels decreased from 8,018 to 6,808 (-5.1%, y-o-y). BMI's Q210 Romania Shipping Report not only analyses the environment in the Romanian shippingmarket in 2010, but looks at developments going forward into the mid term (2011-2014) and considerswhether the country's trade volumes will increase adequately to allow Romania's ports to reclaim theirpre-downturn throughput levels. The report also contains an in-depth analysis of Romania's main port, the port of Constantza. We offer anoverview of the port's infrastructure, and consider whether it will be able to cope with cargo growth orwhether congestion could become an issue. The port's expansion and development plans are alsoreviewed, along with the facility's links to the rest of the country's freight transport. The Q210 Romania Shipping Report contains detailed company overviews of the top 11 global containerlines. Our shipping desk has prepared an analysis of these companies' varying downturn strategies, andwe offer our views and predictions on what 2010 holds for these lines.
