It is always beneficial to talk to management,even more so in a cyclical commodity-driven industry as marine transportation. In focus here is a meeting with Stamatis Molaris, President & CEO of Quintana Maritime Limited.Key takeaways are:
Best Operating cost base in the industry
Competitive daily cash flow break even for 2007: $12,396 (check against peers!!)
Growing ton mile demand as Brazil becomes the choice supplier of iron ore to China
Port constraints in Australia has been cited as a concern and Molaris stressed that it is a problem that will not go away(look out for quality infrastructure plays in Australia)
Remain focused on the iron ore trade, monitoring a good industry source because the commmodity determines charter rates in the dry bulk shipping industry especially for the largest class of vessels, Capesizes, and Panamaxes.
Management is committed to long-term charters, grow its fleet, and maintain a conservative dividend payout policy.
