Railway wagons bid announcement no one gains private car prices   At 07:36 on August 28th, 2013 Source: " 21st Century Business Herald"
August 26, China Railway Construction Investment Company announced the launch of a new round of early tender results wagons, China CSR , China CNR , Northern Venture , Changzheng Heavy Industries, Jinxi Axle and other companies have won the bid.
Related stock movementsBureau for unknown reasons, but it is worth noting that the current round of truck bid price lower than in previous years, especially C70E gondola price, the lowest bid is actually higher than last year, nearly five million. " The price has no profit at all, dead loss." An unnamed vehicle equipment manufacturers middle management officials said. Securities industry analyst told reporters, C70 is the main models emerging Jinan East, North and South car reason for loss quotes is to squeeze out this private equipment manufacturers, however, emerging as China Jinan Railway Company invested in equipment market catfish , I'm afraid not easy being squeezed to death. Private companies out Round bid remains to China South Locomotive and China CNR mainly two companies were given orders 15,300 trucks and 10,800, Chongqing Changzheng then was 1800, Northern Venture was 900, Jinxi Axle for 1500. According to the Contract Award show, X70 wagons, rail transportation equipment, Harbin limited liability company Magicstor stock limited liability company, CSR Shijiazhuang Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. and Baotou Beifang each bid 300 Enterprise Ltd., Chongqing Changzheng Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. is winning 900 vehicles, CSR twenty-seven Vehicle Co., Ltd., China North Vehicle Group Shenyang Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. and CSR Yangtze Co., Ltd. is successful 1200, Jinan, rail transportation equipment limited liability company won the bid up for 1500. In C70e van, CSR twenty-seven Vehicle Co., Ltd. won the bid 300, Baotou Beifang bid 600 Venture Co., Ltd., Chongqing Changzheng Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., Jinan, rail transportation equipment limited liability company, limited liability Taiyuan rail transportation equipment companies have bid 900 vehicles, China North Vehicle Group Shenyang Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. won the bid 1200, Jinxi Railway Vehicle Co., Ltd. and CSR Yangtze Co., Ltd. won the bid 1500, Xi'an rail transportation equipment limited liability company up for 2700. SQ6 type concave bottom bunk transport vehicle for the car, CSR Meishan Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., Jinan rail transportation equipment limited liability company, Qiqihar Railway Rolling limited liability companies have bid 300, CSR twenty-seven Vehicle Co., Ltd. won the bid 600. KZ70-type stone ballast hopper car was Taiyuan rail transportation equipment limited liability company alone in 900. P70-purpose boxcars were the subject of North-South split their 5100 car. 25T and 25G passenger tender, basically CSR and CNR Tangshan Town, the race between plants. No private vehicle factory figure. In previous years, the tender trucks frequently gains Vehicles Co., Ltd., Jinan Oriental emerging unexpectedly no one in this round of bidding gains. Even its main models C70 Cabriolet also received no orders. China Railway Construction Investment companies are reluctant to explain whether the tender Jinan Oriental emerging companies, as well as its bid was not the reason. Insiders told reporters that the new vehicle plant in Jinan East took too many orders last year failed to timely delivery, or so the demerit points on technical points, coupled with price, not incoming. Trucks offer lower It is noteworthy that the current round of trucks offers generally low. Especially in the East of the main emerging vehicle factory C70 Cabriolet models. In this truck quote, each vehicle factory on C70e offer much lower than in previous years, the lowest price is only 319,800 yuan / vehicles, but also the highest price 339,600 yuan / vehicles. In 2010, each C70 convertible car prices are generally down at 400,000, Oriental emerging vehicle plant in order to enter the truck market a few years ago, he would kill the price to 36 yuan / vehicle around. 2012 East emerging vehicle to get the total iron in two batches C70e order bid prices are 358,600 yuan / vehicles and 378,500 yuan / vehicles. Then truck equipment manufacturers told reporters that the East emerging to the wounding, each 370,000 yuan price is already truck manufacturer's bottom line, this price has been unprofitable. However, the current round of C70e offer convertible car, the major truck manufacturers actually reported four or five million lower than last year's prices, is really incredible. It is reported that Chongqing Changzheng Heavy lowest quote for 319,800 yuan / vehicle, CSR Yangtze Co., Ltd. offer also as low as 325,000 yuan / vehicles. Taiyuan CNR's rail transportation equipment limited liability companies offer not much higher for 325,900 yuan / vehicles. A year ago, Chongqing Changzheng Heavy quote this model or 369,100 yuan / vehicles, Taiyuan rail transportation equipment companies offer are 369,700 yuan. So obviously the price gap, makes one suspicious of these state-owned enterprises in the vehicle manufacturing joint lower prices, prompting the only private car prices new car factory out East. A securities pointed out that although steel prices continue to fall, the objective can cabriolet cost decline, but decline so much, the price is still less loss and more profit. " The price has no profit at all, dead loss." An unnamed vehicle equipment manufacturers middle managers admitted to reporters. China South Locomotive and China CNR aspects interview with reporters, declined to price if there are profits to respond. Securities analysts believe that although Cabriolet loss, but the bid price flatcar significant profits can Bukui. The tender, obviously intend jointly owned car prices crowd out private car prices to maintain market pattern. But I am afraid that is not easy to maintain this pattern, in this round of bidding can obviously find that private enterprises to participate in C70 convertible car field, a significant reduction in the price, China Eastern Railway Company will be emerging into the truck market has highlighted the effectiveness of the catfish, inevitably there will be follow-up actions to further build on this.   MIDAS will get contracts from China CSR , China CNR ,   |

China resumes tenders for high-speed trains Aug 16 (Reuters) - China has reopened tenders for high-speed trains worth an estimated $8.2 billion, lifting a suspension imposed after a crash that killed dozens of passengers in 2011 and signalling a new phase of construction in the country's vast railway network. State-owned giant China Railway Investment Corp (CRIC) said it had opened tenders for 91 bullet trains with a speed of 250 kilometres (155 miles) per hour. The move marks the start of another wave of construction in the world's largest high-speed railway and indicates that the government feels public confidence in the network has recovered from the accident which killed at least 32 people in eastern Zhejiang province. The railway investment firm said it opened the tenders on behalf of five Chinese regional railway bureaus of Nanchang, Chengdu, Nanning, Wuhan and Shanghai. " Funds for purchases of these trains have already been reserved," it said in a statement. The tenders are open only to China-based train makers which have licences for manufacturing high-speed trains, it added. Local media estimated that the tenders would be worth more than 50 billion yuan ($8.2 billion), including trains, locomotives and supplementary equipment. China's top two locomotive makers - China CSR Corp and China CNR Corp - are the two firms most likely to benefit from the new contracts, the media said. " The tenders are only the first and will surely be followed by others over time," the official Shanghai Securities News said in a report on Friday. China's cabinet announced last month that it would widen funding channels to speed railway investment, among a slew of other measures to boost the sharply slowing growth of the world's second largest economy. The State Council decided to set up a railway development fund, with initial money from the central government but also trying to attract contributions from private investors. The Zhejiang crash led to allegations of massive corruption, the arrest of the head of the railways ministry and eventually the break-up of the ministry's functions into separate commercial and regulatory agencies.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding: VLGC orders for Chinese yards? â?? Potential VLGC orders? â?? YZJâ??s expertise mainly in other areas â?? Still weathering the storm well China building up a VLGC fleet? According to Platts, a number of Chinese firms are seeking older Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs). China does not have a VLGC fleet, but with imports expected to rise along with developments of several propane dehydrogenation plants, China may seek to cut costs by developing its own fleet for longdistance trips. For instance, China Oriental Energy (Donghua Energy) is building a 1.2m mt/year PDH plant for producing propylene at Zhangjiagang and is said to have placed orders for six VLGCs, with up to 16 options at a Chinese yard. Potential orders for YZJ? But could be early days yet Plattsâ??s sources said that discussions between China Oriental Energy and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding could be restarted, but a final agreement has yet to be reached. Meanwhile, we note that while YZJâ??s Xinfu yard has plans to build large vessels and has an annual  production capacity of up to 10 Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), the groupâ??s capabilities remain primarily in containerships and bulk carriers. Currently, Chinaâ??s top VLCC yards are mainly held by China State Shipbuilding (CSSC) and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), which are state-owned firms. Aiming to be amongst the select few left standing With more than 1,500 yards in China, YZJâ??s CEO expects that more than half of the countryâ??s yards will have to be closed down, and of the remainder, only 20% are likely to be profitable. In our view, what is imperative for YZJ is to continue its smooth execution, secure orders (albeit at almost breakeven levels), scale up the value chain by building green vessels and developing its offshore capabilities, while waiting for the industry consolidation to run its course. Should it be one of the few large yards left standing when the dust has settled, YZJ would then find itself in a stronger position than before. Maintain HOLD with S$0.99 fair value estimate.

Fast transport demand boosts railway equipment market Last Updated:2013-08-22 11:03 | CE. MU trains bidding restarted After two years of silence, bidding for MU trains has been restarted. Recently, China Railway Corporate convened a meeting to study and decide the bidding, which will include MU trains, passenger trains, locomotives, cargo trains. The total bidding amount this year is estimated to be around RMB 100 billion yuan. It is learned that China Railway Corporation has started the purchase of locomotives, MU trains, passenger trains, and cargo trains based on new increase of operation mileage and passenger and cargo transport this year. The total purchase volume is more than RMB 50 billion yuan, and MU train bidding will not exceed 50 percent of the total amount, concentrating mainly on highly cold-resistant trains operating in the Northeast. This is the first restart of MU train bidding since the " 7.23" Ningbo-Yongzhou railway accident that has resulted in great loss. In 2011 and 2012, there were several railway equipment biddings for cargo trains, passenger trains, and locomotives, but MU train bidding had been suspended. Compared to cargo train, passenger train, urban subway train, or locomotive those unit prices range from tens of thousands of RMB to tens of millions of RMB, MU train, whose unit price generally exceeds RMB 100 million yuan, can be more efficient to boost the development of equipment manufacturers and related industries. According to experts, the restart of MU train bidding indicates that the problem of railway construction fund has been solved and that railway is once again on the track of rapid development. The 2013 National Railway Work Meeting proposed RMB 650 billion yuan of railway fixed asset investment this year. Of this, RMB 130 billion yuan is for the purchase of vehicles and updating and renovation, increasing by 14 percent year on year. After adjustment, the annual budget of fixed investment this year is RMB 660 billion Yuan, RMB 530 billion Yuan of which will be invested in infrastructure construction. This means that the extent of vehicle purchase and updating and renovation would increase. Leapfrog development of railway equipment According to the adjusted national Medium- to Long-term Railway Network Planning, in 2020, total length of railway in operation in China will reach 120,000km, with 16,000 km specifically for passenger transport in busy main lines, passenger transport and cargo transport are separated, with double-rail rate and electricity-driven rate both reaching 60 percent a railway network is basically completed that is reasonably laid out, clearly structured, fully functional, and smoothly connected the transport capacity will meet the needs of the development of the national economy and society main technologies and equipment reach or approach advanced international standards. As of the end of 2012, China's railway in operation reached 98,000km and high-speed railway 9,356km. That is to say China needs to build another 25,000km of railway, including 6,644km specifically for passenger transport. These rails all require large amount of new railway equipments. Take the Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed rail as an example. According to people from Guangzhou Railway Corporation, in this year 20 sets of MU trains with speed of 200km/h have been purchased for the 502.4km long Xiamen-Shenzhen high-speed rail. One set of MU trains with speed up to 200km/h costs about RMB 150 million Yuan. At this price, the Xiamen-Shenzhen line alone requires investment of at least RMB 3 billion Yuan for the purchase of vehicles. The rapid development of railway will directly promote the upgrading of the railway equipment manufacturing industry. In 2004 and 2005, CSR Sifang, CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles and CNR Tangshan Railway Vehicle imported technologies from Bombardier, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Alstom, and Siemens and made joint effort to design and product high-speed MU trains. In three years' time, China produced 140 pairs of made-in-China CRH MU trains with speed of more than 200km/h. Later, China upgraded to the 350km/h platform from the 200km/h platform. At its maximum speed, the CRH380, which China has developed independently, will run 60km faster per hour than high-speed trains of Germany and France and 80km faster than Japan's Shinkansen it also outperforms other trains in terms of environmental friendliness and comfort. Experts predict that large investment in the construction of high-speed railway in China will continue in the next five years. The construction of exclusive passenger lines will release the cargo transport capacity of existing lines, bringing about the renovation of cargo trains and existing lines for heavy loading. In the future, the renovation of high-speed rail and cargo lines and the construction of urban railway transport will boost the development of railway transport equipments in China. Transport capacity demand keeps going up Will such large investments result in the excessive production capacity of the railway equipment manufacturing industry? Experts say that this is not a concern at all, because the rapid development of railway equipment is backed by the rising of demand. First, the explosive growth of passenger flow volume. As more and more lines are launched and high-speed lines connect into a network, the passenger flow volume on railway has increased markedly in the first half of the year. According to statistics published by China Railway Corporation, in the first 6 months, all high-speed rails and exclusive passenger rails had seen dramatic increase of passengers a total of 1,947 MU trains were dispatched daily, carrying 1.672 million passengers, the passenger count on May 1 being 2.763 million, making the highest daily transport record of MU trains. In the first half of the year, China's railways carried a total of 1.01 billion passengers, up 10.9 percent compared with the same period of last year. It is estimated that the MU trains currently in operation can meet only 70 percent of the transport demand and the remaining 30 percent needs to be filled up. Besides, more and more cities are coming to the realization that inter-city railways and railway transport can bring in huge economic benefits. In the State Council's routine meeting convened recently, it was proposed that the ownership and operation rights of branch railways, inter-city railways, and resource-exploitation-oriented railways will be first opened to social capital currently, cities are busy promulgating investment plans about inter-city railways. The New Urbanization Development Plan, the formulation of which has been led by the National Development and Reform Commission, currently involves the construction of 20 city groups, over 180 local cities, and more than 10,000 towns. According to the plan, boosting inter-city development through inter-city railways and metropolitan railways will be the development strategy, which may become the growth point for a new round of railway construction. It is calculated that in the next 30 years the need for inter-city railway MU trains may reach or exceed 45,000 sets, an average need of more than 1,500 sets annually.   |

Olam Sees Potential for Indian Sugar Exports on Rupee to SurplusBy Isis Almeida - Aug 12, 2013 1:53 PM GMT+0800
Sugar millers in India, the worldâ??s second-biggest producer of the sweetener, may seek to export product because of a record low for the Indian rupee and a fourth year of domestic surpluses, Olam International Ltd. (OLAM) said. Indian exports will probably be 500,000 to 1.5 million metric tons in the 2013-14 season, Manish Gupta, head of sugar trading at Olam India, said in an interview last week. Another one million tons will be shipped from refineries that import raw sweetener to re-export it as refined sweetener, he said. The Indian rupeeâ??s 12 percent retreat in the past six months to a record low on Aug. 6 increased revenue from dollar-denominated sugar sales. A lower rupee means prices in India are about equal to futures traded in London, boosting prospects for overseas sales. Raw sugar traded in New York gained for the past four weeks as frost last month may reduce the crop in Brazil, the worldâ??s largest producer. â??If New York rallies for some reason, on account of Brazilian rains or the frost issue and the rupee depreciates, it will give India an opportunity to export,â?? Gupta said.
Accurate ForecastSugar production in the South Asian nation will be 1 million tons higher than consumption in the season that starts Oct. 1, a fourth year of surplus, Ruchi Ahuja, an analyst at Olam in India, said in the same phone interview. India will produce 24 million tons of sugar next season, down from 25 million tons in 2012-13, considering normal monsoon rains, according to Ahuja, who correctly forecast the size of the current crop in a Sept. 4 interview. A lack of water, particularly in the countryâ??s southern states, resulted in a â??smallâ?? change in acreage, she said. Production will drop the most in Maharashtra state, by 700,000 tons, Olam estimates. Local stockpiles are 7 million to 8 million tons. An end to state curbs on the amount of sugar that millers can sell may help send domestic prices lower when the harvest starts, Gupta said. That may encourage shipments should international prices be higher, he said. Thereâ??s New York, thereâ??s the rupee, and thereâ??s the fact that we may see some reduction on the price here because of the pressure,â?? Gupta said. â??All three put together will possibly in some way create a situation of exports.â?? One reason why it may not happen is if international prices fall below local ones, he said. Sugar futures traded in New York are heading for a third year of declines, the longest slump since 1992, as supplies outpace demand. Production will be a record 10 million tons bigger than consumption in 2012-13, estimates the International Sugar Organization based in London. |
