Ship charter rates (profits) fell by as much as 90 % triggering costs of utilized ships to fall by as much as 80 %. In the middle of this crisis, VHSS, the German Shipbroker's Association, presented a proposition to value ships utilizing affordable revenue circulation analysis (to identify a long-lasting possession value, LTAV) rather than market costs from equivalent deals.
Thomas Rehder, the Chairman of VHSS, said this technique was required due to the fact that market value did not show basic values in the present environment. Successively revealing the alternative appraisal approach in September 2009, he needs to encourage market individuals - ship owners, lenders, and appraisers - to embrace the brand-new appraisal approach and bank regulatory authorities and auditing companies to authorize its usage.
