Pacific Basin (2343 HK) Company Update

While Handysize vessels withstood the test of time as TCE earnings dipped only 3.0% (USD 280pd) to USD 9,080pd, Supramaxes faced the real punch as earnings dropped by 7.6% (USD 850pd) to USD 10,400pd in 1Q19 y/y. Cargoes for small carriers have been majorly impacted due to the distressed soybean trade led by the US-China trade dispute and indirect import restrictions on Australian coal at Chinese ports. Weakness in the first quarter will impact the 1H19 result but we expect a better 2H19 result as freight rates have picked up
