MONTHLY S.C.I.L.E.I. REPORT: A wildcat subcontractor working out of a branch office in Austin, Texas, has submitted a chart (above) that summarizes the monthly cranial activity in the Tanjong Pagar container terminal.
This terminal sits at the opening of the Keppel Channel, which which leads to Keppel Harbor. Both appear to be named for Admiral Henry Keppel. (So, it appears, is a golf course. Who was this guy? Not sure. I will look into it.)
Anyway, the Singapore Crane Index Limited Economic Indicator will continue its work in March, hoping to guide investors through the hazardous seas of global investments. For those interested in tracking vessels, the APL Xiamenand APL Rotterdam left the terminal on Feb. 28. And nicely lined up in a row at the pier along Tanjong Pagar's Road A most of the day were the NIARA of Singapore, the OOCL ZHOUSHAN of Hong Kong
and the OOCL CHINA of Hong Kong. The last one was nudged into place by the nicely named tugboat, NOBLE JADE.
Here are the eagerly awaited first numbers for March:
Date: March 1
Time: 8:35 a.m. (Singapore time)
Cranes Up (bad): 8
Cranes Down (good): 18
CRANES MISSING (unknown degree of goodness/badness): 2
