印度增加煤炭进口 船东趋之若骛

Owners eager as India ups coal imports

印度急需煤炭的情况使得国内船东以及非航运企业都非常想加入运输行列

India's hunger for coal is putting big bulkers at the top of the wish list for domestic owners as well as non-shipping players. Indian shipowning is set to get a significant boost from the country's fast-growing coal trade,with both established owners and newcomers hoping to get a slice of the action.The government estimates it will need to import nearly 200 million tonnes of coal by 2014/2015,up from the current 85 million tonnes.A New Delhi-based shipbroker says this translates to a requirement for around 250 vessels—mainly panamaxes and supramaxes—permanently employed in the domestic coal trade within four years.
