handy at Shipping 2011 where you will have plenty of time
to participate in the conference program and panel discussions, catch up with former classmates or colleagues, talk
with a Navy Seal, Commodore or Admiral, meander
through high tech exhibits, conduct business, network and
still have plenty of time to share a meal or drinks.

The spring forward theme continues with daylight savings;
a reminder this weekend the U.S and Canada will set their
clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 13. Europe will
follow suit on Sunday, March 27 and Australia will adjust
clocks on April 3. This reminds me of a quote by Michael
Althsuler, “The bad news is that time flies. The good news
is that you’re the pilot.” I hope you’ll make time for Shipping

FROM
THE
Continuing on the education thread, I attended the miniconference put on by the Mississippi Valley Trade and
Transport Council in New Orleans earlier this month.
Although several CMA members were in attendance, generally the crowd was a brown water community plus many
cargo interests, especially coal exporters. Having been
with several shippers/charterers in my career, for me the
best part is meeting people with whom I have worked, or
who work for companies with which I have worked. I enjoy
hearing what is happening outside my own sphere of activity and always come away with new information and perspectives. Check out their program at:
http://www.mvttc.com.
EDITOR
It is March and to paraphrase Bill Shakespeare "The
Conference is the thing". You have hopefully read the latest
program --- it has been greatly updated from the one we
mailed. Some speakers are in different time slots, there
are more speakers and all of them are stars. Really, these
are important people in their own spheres, and we greatly
appreciate their sharing their knowledge and time. I strongly suggest you make an effort to attend as many sessions
as you can, to browse the exhibits – more than last year and enjoy the camaraderie at the various receptions.
I try to attend a number of conferences each year frankly to
get ideas for our own Conference as well as recruit future
speakers, and/or members, and/or exhibitors. I am thankful
that the Board holds the same opinion as I that this is good
for our organization as well as the industry.
Our stalwart (not deterred by snow) February luncheon
crowd was educated and informed about the protean shipping markets and the speed of change that we face in the
21st Century by Justin Yagerman, Director of Equity
Research – Transportation & Shipping - at Deutsche Bank
Securities. His presentation was very interesting as reflected in the question and answer session that followed. I hope
we can get him back again next year.
By the way, I’ll also attend a meeting of the National
Association of Maritime Organizations in Washington next
month. The focus there will US ports, the latest regulations
3
from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the continued cutting of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
dredging budget. In late April I have been invited to speak
at a conference in Paris on sustainability (economic as well
as environmental) of the shipping industry. Although I’ll be
representing CMA the expenses will be covered by the
organizers. Bottom line – CMA’s reputation continues to
grow.
The offers made early boats an upward course pursue,
And even those with outward salt no longer are taboo.
The Market for a month ahead is steady at a rate
Which Merchants call their limit, and at more prefer to wait,
So little is there doing that the Fixture List looks bare,
The Editor prints “Glossary of Freight Terms” in despair.
The holders of the promptest boats now break out in white
spats,
Or else they join that mystic group of Men Who Wear Black
Hats:
No need for them to wait in queues their business to perform,
Firm offer slips are showered on them like snowflakes in a
storm.
They will not talk of options, and are most particular,
A deaf ear turns to U.K./Cont., and only knows A.R.
I hope to see you and chat a bit at Shipping 2011.
Donald Frost
MARKET COMMENTARY
By Donald Frost
As we know tramp shipping markets are cyclical, and while
we are experiencing the down side of the latest cycle, we
can learn from previous cycles. As you chartering practitioners of long experience know, ballasting isn’t a dirty
word even if it is painful to order. In that vein I present a
poem, “The Ballad of the Ballaster” describing how they
handled Plate grain cargoes back in the day. We are now in
the Plate Season. I wonder how many of you remember the
situation described below. If not back then, how about
now?
And this goes on until a rumor flies one morn –
“It’s raining in the Argentine, prompt orders are withdrawn.”
And even freights for forward dates are very few indeed –
The Owners now get busy as they see the rates recede.
This is the Broker’s darkest hour, for him there is no rest,
He daily dreads to get a wire – “Authority at best”.
And as the rates go lower still, some old friends re-appear,
Like clipped oats, and seeds as wheat, and even
Necochea.
No longer Owners shun the Med., they welcome Adriatic,
Whilst orders with two ports discharge make them quite
ecstatic:
The unfixed Ballasters arrive and anchor off shore,
And many an Owner bows his head, and murmurs
“Nevermore”.
THE BALLAD OF THE BALLASTER
Author unknown
The MERCHANT listened glumly to his Chartering Clerk’s
report,
And heard that boats were getting scarce, with outward
sailings short.
“We must attract the Ballasters” would they get on the job,
If we should offer six pence more – in case of need, bob?
The Clerk replied, “I can but try, let me investigate.”
And went upon the Baltic where the Brokers congregate.
But lower rates bring out more trade, Owners capitulate,
And prompt boats take what they can get, although their
loss is great.
But then without a warning and reasons quite unknown,
The Market shows improvement with firmer undertone.
The Brokers with their owners once again communicate,
And several boats leave out the next day in ballast for the
Plate.
“O vessels come and fix with us, if you desire trade.”
The Brokers pause and listen to the Merchant’s serenade.
And Owners hear by telegram, or maybe by phone,
That things are looking up a bit – there is a firmer tone.
Of course they say to pay it pay they want a higher rate –
Yet several boats leave out next day in ballast for the Plate.

CMA ELECTIONS 2011
Each year half the Officers and about half the Committee
Chairs are elected. As always, elections are held on the
occasion of the Annual General Meeting to be held this
year April 28th. The Board Nomination Committee, having
been announced last month, has unanimously approved
the following slate for voting at the AGM in April:
Vice President: Molly McCafferty
Secretary: Antonios Backos
P&A: Ian Workman
Education: Margaret Faucher
Molly, Ian and Margaret are incumbents. We will publish
some short bio information on Tony next month for those
who might not know him. Save the date (April 28th). We
have something more than an election planned.
CMA MEMBER HONORED
FORT SCHUYLER
AT
It is not often that I get the very pleasant opportunity to
write about a King’s Point graduate being honored at my
alma mater, the State University of New York Maritime
College at Fort Schuyler. The fact that he has been long
time member of CMA and a friend makes the news all the
more significant to the CMA family.
I am happy to note that BLT Chembulk Group, represented
by Jack Noonan, President of BLT Chembulk Group,
together with Mark Barker, President of Interlake
Steamship Company and Tom Merrrell, President of
General Dynamics, America Overseas Marine, will be honored at the Admiral’s Scholarship Dinner at Fort Schuyler
Tuesday evening May 3, 2011.
I hope to see many members of CMA at that event.
Congratulations Jack!

CALLING CMA GOLFERS Announcing the CMA Spring
Golf Outing…..
To participate in this year’s Spring Golf Outing, the cost is
$175 per person (holding steady for the past eight years!)
and includes green fees, golf carts, lunch, dinner, open bar
and, of course, lots of great prizes.
Monday afternoon, May 16, 2011
Sterling Farms Golf Course
1349 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06905
Website: http://www.sterlingfarmsgc.com
The outing is always full, so please register early by calling
to reserve your place and then sending your checks in
ASAP to secure your spot.
As we battle a brutal winter in the Northeast, think ahead
to Spring and one of the first golf outings of the season.
This year we have decided to go a little later than the end
of April to take advantage of a warmer day (hopefully) and
it’s a Monday this year, so a pleasant way to start the week!
If you don’t play golf, stop by for dinner and cocktails in the
tent after work – the cost for the Dinner only is $50 per person.
Each foursome must have at least one CMA Member in
good standing. We also accept individual reservations and
we will team up individuals for play.
Registration/Lunch commences at Noon
Shotgun start at 1:30 PM
Dinner in the tent directly following the afternoon of golf at
around 6:00 PM until late.
Please make checks payable to "CMA" and send to:
Lorraine Parsons, Event Director
Connecticut Maritime Association
One Stamford Landing, Suite 214, 62 Southfield Avenue
Stamford, CT 06902
We will stay with our latest format which is the “Simple
Scramble” format. This means it is now in essence a
team event, but be assured that, as always, we will have
plenty of prizes to give out at the end of the day.

and crewed, which carry dry bulk, container, and tanker
cargoes generated by the US government. These include
AID cargoes of grains and military supplies. Maersk ,
Horizon, and others, operate non-US-built US flag vessels
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES……
in these trades.
A great deal of our past success can be attributed to the
generous "Hole Sponsorship" of our members. It provides
for the great prizes that are presented at the dinner, which
are numerous and always so popular.
Carriage of petroleum products along our coasts -- from
Alaska to the west coast, from US Gulf ports to other ports
on the Atlantic coast and Puerto Rico -- must be in Jones
Act vessels. This fleet is comprised of tankships and
tug/barge units built in US yards.
So come on and sponsor a hole at this year's outing. You
will receive a custom-made hole sign, huge praises at the
dinner, an acknowledgement in our newsletter, and of
course, the great appreciation of all the golfers and the
CMA Board of Directors. Hole sponsorships are priced at
$250 each, and again make checks payable to "CMA" and
send to our address noted above or call for credit card payments.
Therein, however, lies the problem. Shipyards in the US
lack the infrastructure and ability to compete with yards in
the far-east on a cost and efficiency basis. A series of
tankers, built recently in shipyards on both US coasts, were
of non-US design with some foreign built components, yet
cost upwards of twice -- some say thrice -- the cost of construction in their home yards.
Johnny Kulukundis will once again sponsor the beverage
cart – thank you Johnny! Kurt Erlandson & Randive will
once again sponsor the golf balls – thank you Kurt!
A recent effort to build three innovative tankers in a US Gulf
yard ended in failure, with a loss to the companies involved
We hope that you will join us on May 16 for another great
afternoon of golf.
Best wishes,
Lorraine Parsons, CMA Event Director
LETTER
TO THE
EDITOR
by Jonathan Feffer
JF Maritime
John Gapper's view of the Jones Act in the (London)
Financial Times of February 24th is timely but omits mention of larger components of US flag trades subject to the
Jones Act, and alludes only briefly to the reasons for the
current state of the US flag shipping industry.
The major element of US coastwise trade is the carriage of
petroleum and petroleum products, chiefly the latter. Only
the Hawaii and Puerto Rico container vessel trades must
comply with the Jones Act; Jones Act vessels are not
required for service to Guam.
The US flag fleet is comprised of US-built vessels trading
in Jones Act trades, and non-US-built vessels, US owned

engines (large slow-speed diesels) built abroad, as the US
does not have the infrastructure to build, or even under
license as most other ship building nations can, machinery
of this standard.
By Onyenuforo Emeka Cyriacus
Arguments to abolish the Jones Act for the coastwise
tanker and container trades cannot prevail as the existing
fleet is mostly modern and a two tier system which might
allow non-US-built vessels in Jones Act trades is impracticable. However, there is a trade, as yet almost completely
non-exploited, where non-US-built vessels should be permitted: this is the contiguous, coastwise trade of container
and trailer cargoes between US ports.
Nigeria today has over 150 Million people that are starting to
demand imported goods which move through the country’s
major ports – Lagos, Port Harcourt, Bonny (inshore) and
Calibar. The imports in-turn boosts the activities of companies like Conoco West Africa, ICM-CMA, Hull Blyth, Seatrucks and any aspiring international body wishing to invest.
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency
(NIMASA), is committed to the use of global best practices
in the maritime services in Nigeria. Their areas of focus
include Maritime Safety Administration, Maritime Labour
Regulation, Marine Pollution Prevention and Control,
Search and Rescue, Cabotage enforcement, Shipping
Development and Ship Registration, Training and
Certification of Seafarers, and Maritime Capacity
Development.
This program, strongly advocated by the US Maritime
Administration, and aptly named Marine Highway, has
failed to come to fruition, despite serious interest on the
part of container lines seeking feeder ships to move containers from the major terminals, and from truckers and
others seeking to remove trucks from the highway system.
Efforts in this trade have not succeeded, or cannot get
underway, as the cost of entry is too high if US built vessels
must be employed.
While we have educated and experienced people unfortunately this is an area where the country must improve
quickly. We have many Nigerians who are highly experienced and trained professionals, but opportunities to use
those skills are rare. Many jobs are filled with quacks and
uneducated individuals who have been given positions
because they know someone in the government. Even
internships are hard to find.
It should be noted as well, in the context of the FT article
which bemoans the presence of non-US vessels in the US
international container trades, that aside from US government generated cargoes, none of the considerable US
grain and coal exports is carried in US bottoms, and virtually all crude oil and petroleum products imports likewise
are carried in non-US vessels.
If you want to do business in Nigeria the most important
step before entering our market is to find reliable partners
who know the ports and how things are done in our society. A good and reliable contact makes the business
process very easy.
Sadly, we must recognize that shipbuilding is yet another
industry which has moved offshore.
Editor’s Comment—
Members are encouraged to respond in writing to the CMA.
This is an important issue.
Although it could be rare or difficult to find the right persons
or group, but taking your time will open your eyes to the
right links. We can still boast of very competent individuals
and groups into the industry and outside who can assist
you during the process. The country’s market can be quite
profitable to any shipping company or individuals who have
decided to invest.

These issues impact Shipping, as an industry, and its business model. In that context it is a new normal. We have
seen a huge increase in privately held ship owning companies in the last ten years and an unprecedented (i.e.- think
back to say before 1990) awareness of public sector
finance of shipping as an industry or asset class. We have
new players in the freight markets on both the owning and
shipper’s side and we have new criteria to judge the markets – Indices and derivatives. So there is a New Normal,
but in many other respects though it seems that as a cyclical business we may not have learned anything from the
terrible shipping depression of 1981-1987.
IS THERE A
“NEW NORMAL?”
By Donald B. Frost
The 17th Annual Shipping Conference sponsored by the
joint Hellenic and Norwegian - American Chambers of
Commerce was held early last month at the WaldorfAstoria in New York. It was a new venue for them and quite
a bit roomier than earlier editions that I have attended. This
year’s title was “Challenges and Opportunities for the
Shipping Industry: Is there a New Normal?”
Many of the same topics broached in February will be
addressed at CMA’s Shipping 2011 which leads me to
remind you that the speed with which events are occurring
around the world is shocking, yet these events affect us.
Take the time to invest in real face to face discussions with
us at the CMA Shipping 2011 event, March 21-23, Hilton
Hotel, Stamford, CT (http://www.shipping2011.com).
After our own Conference in March, every year I find this
event perhaps the most thought provoking. Judging from
the attendance numbers, as well as the stature of those
speaking and attending, I would say the 2011 edition was
very successful.
You can find the program at
http://www.hellenicamerican.cc/events - look for Past
Events and click on Tuesday Feb. 8, 2011. I recommend to
your reading the reviews of the event by journalistic stalwarts such as George Weltman’s at Marine Money’s
Freshly Minted (Feb. 10th), and Barry Parker’s for Capital
Link’s Shipping Weekly Markets Report (Feb 14th).
EYES & INDUSTRY FOCUS ON
THE CMA SHIPPING 2011
Just a short note now that the Shipping 2011 show is just
around the corner, March 21-23, 2011 at the Hilton Hotel,
Stamford, Connecticut (http://www.shipping2011.com), to
share some updates with you so that you and your colleagues get the absolute most out of the event.
Personally I especially enjoyed the first panel moderated
by Blaine Collins of DNV which asked “How will increasing
environmental regulation impact the shipping market?” The
panelists, Charles Anderson, President, SKULD North
America, Eric Fabrikant, VP Seacor Holdings Inc., Jeff
Lantz, U.S. Coast Guard, Clay Maitland, Managing
Director, International Registries and Arild Wegener,
Counselor (Industrial Affairs) Norwegian Embassy, all had
important messages that I wish you all could have heard
and questioned. The juicy part of conferences is the Q&A
(as you will find out at Shipping 2011, March 21-22-23) and
this panel was not only knowledgeable, but also quite
engaged in the larger issues --- commercial reality v
today’s environmental imperatives.
There will be some 2,000+ guests, speakers, exhibitors
attending the show at the Stamford Hilton. In that crowd
are undoubtedly many of your clients, counter parties, suppliers and industry colleagues. We really hope that you can
take full advantage of their visit. It is because we have such
a dynamic community that the event attracts the world.
One cautionary bit of advice, Greenwich and Stamford's
restaurants do book up around the show so if you are
thinking of a dinner, it is good to plan early.
We hope you will encourage your colleagues and employees if they are not already planning to attend, to swing by
and visit the exhibits, meet business partners in the Hotel.
Today's environment means getting the most out of the
products and services that help you in your business and
many of those vendors are with us, with new ideas, energy and solutions. Networking is so valuable, especially if
you don't have to step on a plane to do it!
I listened carefully to all the presentations and even asked
a question or two, but I did not hear anything that made me
feel that there really is a New Normal (--- whatever that is)
and if there is one, whose is it. I heard a lot about capital
markets, the growing influence of China and India and a
debate as to whether M&A (mergers and acquisitions) will
return to the shipping market.
9
And, if you have young staff that might not ordinarily get to
attend a major conference, Tuesday is a big day for the next
generation as Cadets from all the major maritime academies will be with us for the annual job fair, and as we are
always looking to encourage the next generation the positive experiences of your young staff can mean a great deal
to those still in school.
There are of course serious seminars on markets, new
opportunities, regulations and chartering. Receptions take
place every night and there are dynamic lunches and of
course the Commodore Gala celebrating Angeliki Frangou
on the Wednesday night.

Brave New World: The world has changed;
it is not our parents’ world!
The BIG PICTURE Questions: Today with more data points, news
broadcasts and global power and trade shifts, the business of international shipping is more complex than ever. What impact will quantitative easing, the UK budget cuts, Greece’s deficit, China’s currency
have today much less in 25 years?
To open the conference, economists, shipping market experts, cargo
interests, owners, traders and brokers will examine the wealth of
data, strategic directions and global trends, which impact our decision-making and our company’s prospects.
Markets, Finance, Trade Trends, Values, Supply and Demand insights,
Inflation, Deflation, Currency Wars, Costs, Commodities, Trade
Restrictions, National Economies, Freight Projections, China, War,
Geo-political Wild Cards and other things that keep us up at night in
anticipation, worry or excitement!

Brett Kats, Environmental Officer, NYK Line (North America) Inc. –
With so much focus on assets, finance, market conditions and the
environment we must be constantly vigilant to acknowledge that
our people are the industry’s front line and we pay too little attention to them at our peril. From the still stalled Maritime Labor
Convention, to the expanding threat of piracy in the Somali Basin,
from fund short seamen’s missions to new training academies,
there is plenty to do and think about as a generation of seafarers
and shore side staff born in the 1990’s joins the work force.
