When the domestic steel mills are still up for next years ore prices of distress, the three international mining giants puts more attention turned to the maritime market. Recently, the three mines are doing one thing, that is, with some steel mills to negotiate an agreement signed by COA sea. Previously, these agreements are the shipping companies can come and Chinese steel enterprises signed. It is worth noting that imports of seaborne iron ore trade in the process is an important part, but because of the long-term iron ore agreement negotiations over the years are based on FOB price (not including sea-freight FOB) to billing, shipping costs the amount has not attracted much attention.
In this regard, analysts pointed out that, in fact, shipping market is the Chinese steel companies to control costs the strategic high ground, as compared with the iron ore price negotiations, maritime markets and changes in sea freight costs of iron and steel enterprises purchasing a greater impact. An obvious example is this years iron ore negotiations, China Steel Association has always stressed that to achieve cuts of at least 40%, in fact, 40% with Japan and Rio Tinto reached the "starting price" compared to 33% price reduction, only 6 U.S. dollars / ton gap, and from January to November this year, from Brazil and Australia, the port of port-to-spot domestic sea freight per ton respectively, up more than 40 U.S. dollars and more than 10 U.S. dollars, is clear that the impact is far greater than the cost of shipping ore itself is prices.
