The US is recapturing its place as a leading gas, petrochemicals and polymer exporter on the back of low ethane prices and rising production. Controlling logistics and transportation costs and transit times will be key to US petrochemical producers, especially to companies that will be exporting much of their production and need to o�er very competitive prices. The growth in production and capacity will test:

• Rail infrastructure and packaging capacity, especially in the Houston region, which is already experiencing bottlenecks • Road infrastructure and weight limits, the supply of truckers, trucks and chassis • Container availability, terminal & bulk storage capacity, port operating hours and operational e�ciencies • Companies’ marketing strategies, which will require more accurate demand and supply projections, price and export margin forecasting, costing of alternate logistics, more flexible export options

Day 1 - Session Recap

The current flow of empty containers out of Houston will not meet the projected growth in containerized exports of plastic resins and other petrochemical products on the US Gulf Coast unless ocean and rail carriers plan to ship more empty boxes to where exporters need them, according to a panel of supply chain experts at Petrochemical Update’s Supply Chain & Export Logistics Conference.

Dean Stinn, commercial enterprise readiness manager at Chevron Phillips Chemical, and Gary Furneaux, supply chain manager at ExxonMobil Chemical, said that the availability of empty containers on the US Gulf Coast is a top concern for petrochemical producers that plan to grow their PE exports in the next few years.

Growing US ethylene production and the investment in new polyethylene capacity will increase North American polyethylene (PE) production to more than 24.5 mtpa by 2020 from about 19.95 mtpa at the end of 2014, assuming 75% of the announced projects are built and commissioned by 2020. US PE exports are projected to double from 4.5 million tons currently to about 9 million tons in 2020.The new volumes could "create an additional 210,000 container exports through the Port of Houston," starting in 2017-2018, according to Furneaux.

Conservative estimates by the Port of Houston Authority project at least 250,000 TEUs per year of additional plastics resin to begin moving via the Port of Houston terminals starting in 2017.

The 2015 Petrochemical Supply Chain & Export Logistics 2015 conference & expo is firmly established as the largest Petrochemical Supply Chain event in North America.

“The conference is a great

opportunity to hear from

and meet the key players in

the resin export sector:

Producers, Warehousing,

Packagers, and Trucking

companies.”

REPOSITIONING CONTAINERS

HERE’S WHAT ATTENDEES HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE SHOW...


Three rail carriers are currently repositioning surplus empty containers from Dallas to the ports in Los Angeles/Long Beach, as well as the Port of Houston, mostly for Latin America-bound containers. At same time, there isn’t a fast intermodal service to the East and West coasts from Houston, Stinn said.

A shortage in vessel and equipment capacity at the Houston Ship Channel is driving shippers to seek alternatives years ahead of an expected boom in container exports.

Stinn said that Chevron Phillips Chemical is looking for additional packaging flexibility, containers and port access and is considering exports out of container-surplus ports on the US West Coast, the East Coast, and Mexico's Pacific Coast. Maersk Line, for example, is investing in a project to build a new deep-water container terminal in the major Mexican Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas.

The expansion of the Panama Canal in 2016 could also bring more containers from Asia to the Port of Houston, alleviating a consistent shortage of such containers and helping export larger volumes of resin.Shipping lines will need accurate export volume and market forecasts to plan and guarantee su�cient

equipment to meet the projected polyethylene export growth, according to Karen Nutt, director of sales Gulf Region at ocean carrier Maersk Line.

“Once we have a real forecast, we will definitely start to position in and hang on to equipment to manage that. And then utilization will dictate how much we keep here or how much we bring in,” she said during the conference.

Low utilization rates and overcapacity have strained ocean carriers’ balance sheets in recent years as the demand for their services has remained flat. Ocean freight rates in the US went through wild swings in 2015 and are expected to remain volatile in 2016.According to Nutt, shipping lines could cut costs by limiting “high-frequency spot positioning” of equipment, which is one of the top three expenses for ocean carriers globally.

Some carriers have also started optimizing costs in North America by grey pooling chassis, but according to Nutt, grey pooling of containers – a strategy that could reduce the number and frequency of container repositioning – will not happen “by 2018, when the [polyethylene export] business starts to move.”

A valuable conference for all functions of the US Gulf reliant Petrochemical industry detailing forward capacity projections and the associated constraints.Melbourne Pinks / Od�ell

The conference provided a well organized and well attended forum to discuss the major challenges and solutions to the US's major polymers expansions. The conference was well facilitated with a good combination of speeches and panels.Ed Smith – DHL

This was a who's who of the petrochemical industry. Well worth the time.Trish Haver, Norfolk Southern
