2011年船舶經紀市場銷售緩慢啟動

張貼日期2011年3月9日

美國船舶經紀市場的單位銷售量持續緊跟五年月平均值. 上個月的銷售量則是輕微低於五年平均值, 也低於去年同期的銷售額.

YachtWorld.com的會員經紀業務報告二月份共有1699艘船舶銷售, 與去年同月份相比下滑3%, 48艘. 銷售總額則是下滑16%, 3千6百萬美元. 

今年前兩個月的共銷售3267艘船舶, 下滑2.5%. 總銷售金額則是3億6千5百萬美元, 下跌了10%. 二月份的快艇銷售量與去年同月相較則是微幅上升, 年初至今日則是上升1%.

二月份的帆船銷售則是下滑15%, 從361艘下降至307, 與一月份相似.

用船舶類型來評估, 則出現了不同的趨勢. 雖然快艇的銷售相當的好, 二月份的銷售總金額卻下跌20%, 年初到今日則是3億1千1百萬美元, 下跌12%.

相較下雖然二月份帆船的銷售量較少, 帆船經紀報告金額卻上升15%至3千1百萬美元. 雖然一二月份合計與去年同期相較少賣了110艘帆船, 總金額卻是持平為5千4百萬美元.

以長度來看, 最強的種類與去年相較則是46呎至55呎的類別, 與去年二月相較今年賣出了103艘, 上升13%. 銷售金額則是上升5%至3千萬美金. 年初到今日, 這個類別的銷售量上升7%, 銷售額上升4%.

與去年前兩個月相較, 大多數較小尺寸的船舶則沒有什麼的改變. 像往常一樣, 最大尺寸的類別, 長度超過55英呎, 就金額而論是最易變的. 大尺寸船舶今年的銷售量相當的穩定, 112艘, 比2010年少了7艘, 但是銷售的金額則下降了25%到1億2千5百萬美元.

關於最近美國船舶經紀業務銷售更深入的報導會發表在四月份的Soundings Trade Only.

Slow start for 2011 brokerage sales

Posted on March 07, 2011

Unit sales in the U.S. boat brokerage market continue to track closely with five-year monthly averages. As in other recent months, February brokerage unit sales came in slightly under the five-year average and below sales from the same month a year earlier.

YachtWorld.com member brokerages reported selling 1,699 boats in February, down 48 boats, or 3 percent, from February 2010. The total valuation of sales was off $36 million, or 16 percent.

For the first two months of this year, unit sales are down 2.5 percent, with 3,267 boats sold; total valuation is lower by 10 percent, with $365 million in sales. Powerboat sales were up a few boats in February, compared with February of last year, and are 1 percent higher for the year to date.

Where the market has slipped is in sailboat sales, which dropped 15 percent in February, from 361 boats to 307, much as it did in January.

In valuation by boat type, a different trend emerges. Although powerboats are selling reasonably well, the total value of their selling prices was off 20 percent in February and is down 12 percent for the year to date, with sales of $311 million.

By comparison, despite selling fewer boats in February, brokers of sailboats reported a valuation increase of 15 percent, to $31 million. For the two months combined, although 110 fewer sailboats have sold than a year earlier, total valuation is flat at $54 million.

In different size ranges, the strongest category, compared with the previous year, was the 46- to 55-foot group, selling 103 boats, a gain of 13 percent from February of last year. Sales valuation in that category was up 5 percent, to $30 million. For the year to date, the category is up 7 percent in units and 4 percent in valuation.

Most of the smaller size categories have shown small changes, compared with the first two months of last year. As usual, the largest size range, boats over 55 feet long, has been the most volatile in terms of valuation. Big-boat unit sales for the year have been relatively steady at 112 boats, down seven from 2010, but the value of the boats sold has not, dropping 25 percent, to $125 million.

A more detailed report summarizing recent U.S. brokerage sales will appear in the April issue of Soundings Trade Only.
