Located 80km north of Lima, the Chinese-built port promises to reduce shipping times for Chinese products to the region by up to 20 days, thanks to its direct route across the Pacific Ocean. Chinese President Xi Jinping inaugurated the port in Peru on 14 November. The port was a focal point of discussions among producers and traders in Latin America, but especially for those in the west coast of South America (WCSA), the first region to be possibly affected by Chancay's operations. A polypropylene (PP) producer in Colombia told Argus that the news is not good for them as it would be easy and fast to ship Chinese PP from Chancay to Buenaventura, Colombia's most important seaport on the Pacific Ocean. The company said it is trying to figure out how to deal with the expected increase in resin imports from China. Several other regional resin producers and traders are closely monitoring the situation, trying to strategise their next moves. In the US, the largest polyethylene (PE) exporter to South America, Chancay has already been causing concerns for local producers and traders selling into the region, one source told Argus . The combination of more Chinese PE arriving on South American shores and local governments placing anti-dumping duties on US-produced, as is foreseen in Brazil in the short-term, should lower US sales for the whole region, the source added. Asian resin is already gaining market share in Peru. Currently, the country is the second largest PP importer in South America by volume, and its imports had a significant increase this year even before Chancay's inauguration. PP imports climbed 32pc from January to October, with 90pc more purchases from Asia-Pacific, whose market share expanded from 41pc to 58pc year on year. South American purchases fell 7pc to 57,800t in the same period. Concerns were also raised about the Chancay port being used to distribute Chinese resins to other regional markets, including Brazil and Argentina, via smaller containerships being sent through the Panama Canal. Chancay set to change routes The first phase of the Chancay Port project, which began in 2021, features four berths and a maximum depth of 17.8 meters, allowing it to accommodate ultra-large container ships with capacities of up to 18,000 twenty-foot containers (TEUs). With a projected throughput capacity of 1mn TEUs annually in the short term and 1.5mn TEUs in the long term, Chancay Port is set to significantly impact maritime routes from Asia to Latin America. Over 80pc of the project is already completed, including the main quay structures finished earlier this year. Once fully operational with its 15 docks, Chancay will be South America's first port capable of handling ships too large for the Panama Canal. Additionally, China plans to build a railway linking Chancay with Brazil, its largest Latin American trade partner, later in the decade. The ownership of Peru's Chancay Port is split between two major entities. Cosco Shipping Ports, a Chinese state-owned company, holds a 60pc stake in the port. The remaining 40pc is owned by Volcan Mining Company, a Peruvian firm. This collaboration is part of China's expansive Belt and Road Initiative.

The country's foreign trade committee Gecex launched the investigation on 13 November following allegations from the sole Brazilian PE producer, major petrochemical company Braskem, that these countries are exporting PE to Brazil at prices below what is considered fair market value. Overall imported PE prices into Brazil have been in a downward trend since July, pushing down Braskem prices in the domestic market. Gecex said it will analyze export prices and compare them with those in the domestic markets of both countries. If dumping is confirmed, corrective measures may be applied to protect the Brazilian industry. A preliminary analysis has identified significant evidence of dumping, justifying the continuation of the investigation, Gecex said. It added that there was a considerable increase in PE imports from these countries — especially from the US — during the period being investigated, which may have contributed to the decline in domestic prices and harmed the domestic producer. The preliminary analysis of dumping evidence covered 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The damage analysis period extended from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2024. The anti-dumping investigation into PE imports from the US and Canada was preceded by an increase in import taxes on a number of polymers and chemicals to 20pc from 12.6pc, including PE, polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), effective since 15 October. Repercussions An international trader specializing in polymer imports into Brazil told Argus that if anti-dumping duties are applied, his company's PE imports from the US to Brazil could drop by 20-30pc. "The decision has a 10-month deadline to be presented, but I believe it will be implemented and possibly announced earlier," he said, adding that this is another Braskem maneuver to regain its traditional 70pc market share in the Brazilian market. If confirmed, the measure is expected to have a significant impact on the Brazilian economy, especially on the plastic products manufacturing industry, as imports of finished plastic products could rise substantially, the trader said. One US-based trader selling US and Canada PE into Brazil sees the possible application of anti-dumping measures on the products as a structural development. "We will need to source PE in different production regions such as Asia and the Middle East, developing new ways of logistics, cash flows, ways of payment, to make it work flawlessly as it currently works with North American PE," the trader told Argus . "Prices should go up and we will increase our margins on PE sales." Brazil's January-September PE production increased by 1pc to 1.7mn t from the same period in 2023, while domestic sales fell bu 2pc to 1.24mn t. In contrast, PE imports jumped by 45pc to 1.54mn t, resulting in an apparent consumption of around 2.8mn t, up by 20pc higher year-on-year and a record high.

Sekisui Chemical's Thai subsidiary Sekisui Specialty Chemicals Thailand aims to build a CPVC compounds production plant in Rayong. The new plant is expected to raise the total output capacity of CPVC compounds by 1.6 times. Sekisui Chemical targets start-up of the new plant by the end of March 2026. The firm declined to disclose detailed capacity and investment figures. Sekisui Chemical has 60,000 t/yr of feedstock CPVC production capacity in Thailand. CPVC compounds are generated by blending CPVC and additives. The company does not plan to boost manufacturing capacity or procurement volumes of CPVC. The producer said it can boost CPVC compound production without raising the supply of CPVC for now. The announcement of planned increases in CPVC compound capacity in Thailand follows the launch of the firm's new office in India in June. The company expects demand for its CPVC compounds to increase further as metal pipelines have been replaced with CPVC resin pipelines, while construction demand has been rising along with economic growth in India and the Middle East. Sekisui Chemical also manufactures 40,000 t/yr of CPVC in Japan. Japan produced 1mn t of PVC during January-September, down by 4.9pc from the same period a year ago, according to Japan's Vinyl Environmental Council. Exports dropped by 4.8pc over the year to 428,118t during the period. By Nanami Oki Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024. Argus Media group .

Azoty said both units are operating even though formal commissioning of the entire project has not yet been yet completed. It is in negotiations with the contractor to undertake final improvements and overcome some defects, it said. Azoty expects to agree with the contractor on final terms of commissioning by the end of this year. Since the start of its operations, the PP plant has produced more than 200,000t and sales of PP reached 60,000t in the third quarter, Azoty said. Azoty sees healthy demand for its PP products from European buyers that want to diversify their supply portfolio to reduce risk in delays to imports from Asia-Pacific. "We see end users want have at least 30pc of their (PP) supplies to come from local European supplies," said plant manager Andrzej Dawidowski. He said the company sells PP through its own distribution as well as through traders that market in Europe and elsewhere. Azoty expects to make adjustments to this model as soon as it stabilises output, which would enable buyers to determine their demand for Azoty's product. Azoty said the Police plant is yet to generate positive earnings, and it requires stable supplies of feedstock propane. It said it is working with suppliers to secure financing to ensure steady propane supplies. Azoty also said the letter of intent with Polish integrated Orlen, about a possible sale of a stake in the PDH/PP project was extended until end of 2024, giving them more time to discuss the possibility of co-operation.

The Brazilian government's decision to increase import tariffs to 20pc, up from 12.6pc, effective from 15 October and valid for one year, is also expected to boost first-quarter sales by $30mn, the company said Thursday. Additionally, Braskem's operating rates for plastic resins, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are expected to rise in the first quarter from 64pc currently, following the seasonally weak fourth quarter. Braskem acknowledged that the higher import tariffs are a temporary government measure. The company is working to boost competitiveness in the petrochemical industry through conversion to renewables, improved technology and greater tax incentives for the industry, among other structural measures, Braskem chief financial officer Pedro Freitas said during the company's earnings call. To bolster the competitiveness of plastic resins made in Brazil, Braskem and fellow PVC producer Unipar Carbocloro have jointly requested the Brazilian government to increase the anti-dumping tariffs already imposed on PVC produced in the US, currently at 8.2pc. Both companies are also monitoring other polymers produced abroad for potential anti-dumping tariff requests. On the investment side, Freitas said Braskem may as much as double capacity at its petrochemical complex in Rio de Janeiro, where the company's cracker operates 100pc on ethane feedstock, and also increase capacity at its petrochemical complex in Bahia, which partially uses ethane. The company is monitoring the regulation of natural gas in Brazil to ensure greater availability of ethane present in the natural gas extracted from Petrobras' offshore operations in the country. The use of this ethane is in the company's plans, according to Freitas. Braskem also stated that it will invest around $60mn in a 30-40 day scheduled maintenance shutdown at its Mexican joint venture Braskem Idesa. The company's cracker in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, also is expected to be shut for scheduled maintenance down next year. In the US, Braskem said it is studying potential investments to produce green PP. Looking ahead to next year, Braskem said Donald Trump's victory this week in the US presidential election could lead to greater protectionism in the US, which would be beneficial for Braskem's US operations, or it could lead to weakened domestic demand in Brazil if overseas products that would typically have gone to the US instead shift to Brazil. Freitas said that even with the better outlook for next year coming from the tariff hike on polymers in Brazil, the Trump factor and other global issues such as the currently low petrochemical cycle are causing Braskem to consider possible capacity rationalization, with a possibly decision next year. 3Q production and sales Braskem's domestic resin sales fell by 2pc in the third quarter from a year prior, with volumes also falling in the US, Europe and Mexico. Domestic sales declined mostly because of higher levels of PE and PVC inventories in the transformation chain, Braskem said. Domestic resin sales reached 869,000 metric tonnes (t) in the third quarter, down from 884,000t a year earlier. Compared to the second quarter, the company's Brazil resin sales were up by 6pc on higher volumes of PP after operations at the Rio Grande do Sul petrochemical complex resumed after severe flooding, and greater demand from the hygiene and cleaning sectors. PVC volumes were supported by greater commercial opportunities in the civil construction and sanitation sectors. In Mexico, PE sales through the Braskem Idesa joint venture fell by 3pc on the year to 208,000t because of lower demand. Sales declined by 17pc from the second quarter mainly on inventory management and the expectation of a reduction in PE prices in the international market in the following periods. Third-quarter PP sales were 501,000t, according to consolidated numbers for the US and Europe, down by 8pc from a year earlier and little changed from the previous quarter. The declines were mainly because of lower availability of products for sale in both regions. Braskem narrowed its third-quarter loss to $106mn from a $497mn loss in the same period last year. The loss was largely attributed to a negative exchange rate variation of R$1.2bn ($211mn). By Fred Fernandes Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.

Located 80km north of Lima, the Chinese-built port promises to reduce shipping times for Chinese products to the region by up to 20 days, thanks to its direct route across the Pacific Ocean. Chinese President Xi Jinping inaugurated the port in Peru on 14 November. The port was a focal point of discussions among producers and traders in Latin America, but especially for those in the west coast of South America (WCSA), the first region to be possibly affected by Chancay's operations. A polypropylene (PP) producer in Colombia told Argus that the news is not good for them as it would be easy and fast to ship Chinese PP from Chancay to Buenaventura, Colombia's most important seaport on the Pacific Ocean. The company said it is trying to figure out how to deal with the expected increase in resin imports from China. Several other regional resin producers and traders are closely monitoring the situation, trying to strategise their next moves. In the US, the largest polyethylene (PE) exporter to South America, Chancay has already been causing concerns for local producers and traders selling into the region, one source told Argus . The combination of more Chinese PE arriving on South American shores and local governments placing anti-dumping duties on US-produced, as is foreseen in Brazil in the short-term, should lower US sales for the whole region, the source added. Asian resin is already gaining market share in Peru. Currently, the country is the second largest PP importer in South America by volume, and its imports had a significant increase this year even before Chancay's inauguration. PP imports climbed 32pc from January to October, with 90pc more purchases from Asia-Pacific, whose market share expanded from 41pc to 58pc year on year. South American purchases fell 7pc to 57,800t in the same period. Concerns were also raised about the Chancay port being used to distribute Chinese resins to other regional markets, including Brazil and Argentina, via smaller containerships being sent through the Panama Canal. Chancay set to change routes The first phase of the Chancay Port project, which began in 2021, features four berths and a maximum depth of 17.8 meters, allowing it to accommodate ultra-large container ships with capacities of up to 18,000 twenty-foot containers (TEUs). With a projected throughput capacity of 1mn TEUs annually in the short term and 1.5mn TEUs in the long term, Chancay Port is set to significantly impact maritime routes from Asia to Latin America. Over 80pc of the project is already completed, including the main quay structures finished earlier this year. Once fully operational with its 15 docks, Chancay will be South America's first port capable of handling ships too large for the Panama Canal. Additionally, China plans to build a railway linking Chancay with Brazil, its largest Latin American trade partner, later in the decade. The ownership of Peru's Chancay Port is split between two major entities. Cosco Shipping Ports, a Chinese state-owned company, holds a 60pc stake in the port. The remaining 40pc is owned by Volcan Mining Company, a Peruvian firm. This collaboration is part of China's expansive Belt and Road Initiative.

The country's foreign trade committee Gecex launched the investigation on 13 November following allegations from the sole Brazilian PE producer, major petrochemical company Braskem, that these countries are exporting PE to Brazil at prices below what is considered fair market value. Overall imported PE prices into Brazil have been in a downward trend since July, pushing down Braskem prices in the domestic market. Gecex said it will analyze export prices and compare them with those in the domestic markets of both countries. If dumping is confirmed, corrective measures may be applied to protect the Brazilian industry. A preliminary analysis has identified significant evidence of dumping, justifying the continuation of the investigation, Gecex said. It added that there was a considerable increase in PE imports from these countries — especially from the US — during the period being investigated, which may have contributed to the decline in domestic prices and harmed the domestic producer. The preliminary analysis of dumping evidence covered 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The damage analysis period extended from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2024. The anti-dumping investigation into PE imports from the US and Canada was preceded by an increase in import taxes on a number of polymers and chemicals to 20pc from 12.6pc, including PE, polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), effective since 15 October. Repercussions An international trader specializing in polymer imports into Brazil told Argus that if anti-dumping duties are applied, his company's PE imports from the US to Brazil could drop by 20-30pc. \"The decision has a 10-month deadline to be presented, but I believe it will be implemented and possibly announced earlier,\" he said, adding that this is another Braskem maneuver to regain its traditional 70pc market share in the Brazilian market. If confirmed, the measure is expected to have a significant impact on the Brazilian economy, especially on the plastic products manufacturing industry, as imports of finished plastic products could rise substantially, the trader said. One US-based trader selling US and Canada PE into Brazil sees the possible application of anti-dumping measures on the products as a structural development. \"We will need to source PE in different production regions such as Asia and the Middle East, developing new ways of logistics, cash flows, ways of payment, to make it work flawlessly as it currently works with North American PE,\" the trader told Argus . \"Prices should go up and we will increase our margins on PE sales.\" Brazil's January-September PE production increased by 1pc to 1.7mn t from the same period in 2023, while domestic sales fell bu 2pc to 1.24mn t. In contrast, PE imports jumped by 45pc to 1.54mn t, resulting in an apparent consumption of around 2.8mn t, up by 20pc higher year-on-year and a record high.

Sekisui Chemical's Thai subsidiary Sekisui Specialty Chemicals Thailand aims to build a CPVC compounds production plant in Rayong. The new plant is expected to raise the total output capacity of CPVC compounds by 1.6 times. Sekisui Chemical targets start-up of the new plant by the end of March 2026. The firm declined to disclose detailed capacity and investment figures. Sekisui Chemical has 60,000 t/yr of feedstock CPVC production capacity in Thailand. CPVC compounds are generated by blending CPVC and additives. The company does not plan to boost manufacturing capacity or procurement volumes of CPVC. The producer said it can boost CPVC compound production without raising the supply of CPVC for now. The announcement of planned increases in CPVC compound capacity in Thailand follows the launch of the firm's new office in India in June. The company expects demand for its CPVC compounds to increase further as metal pipelines have been replaced with CPVC resin pipelines, while construction demand has been rising along with economic growth in India and the Middle East. Sekisui Chemical also manufactures 40,000 t/yr of CPVC in Japan. Japan produced 1mn t of PVC during January-September, down by 4.9pc from the same period a year ago, according to Japan's Vinyl Environmental Council. Exports dropped by 4.8pc over the year to 428,118t during the period. By Nanami Oki Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024. Argus Media group .

Azoty said both units are operating even though formal commissioning of the entire project has not yet been yet completed. It is in negotiations with the contractor to undertake final improvements and overcome some defects, it said. Azoty expects to agree with the contractor on final terms of commissioning by the end of this year. Since the start of its operations, the PP plant has produced more than 200,000t and sales of PP reached 60,000t in the third quarter, Azoty said. Azoty sees healthy demand for its PP products from European buyers that want to diversify their supply portfolio to reduce risk in delays to imports from Asia-Pacific. \"We see end users want have at least 30pc of their (PP) supplies to come from local European supplies,\" said plant manager Andrzej Dawidowski. He said the company sells PP through its own distribution as well as through traders that market in Europe and elsewhere. Azoty expects to make adjustments to this model as soon as it stabilises output, which would enable buyers to determine their demand for Azoty's product. Azoty said the Police plant is yet to generate positive earnings, and it requires stable supplies of feedstock propane. It said it is working with suppliers to secure financing to ensure steady propane supplies. Azoty also said the letter of intent with Polish integrated Orlen, about a possible sale of a stake in the PDH/PP project was extended until end of 2024, giving them more time to discuss the possibility of co-operation.

The Brazilian government's decision to increase import tariffs to 20pc, up from 12.6pc, effective from 15 October and valid for one year, is also expected to boost first-quarter sales by $30mn, the company said Thursday. Additionally, Braskem's operating rates for plastic resins, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are expected to rise in the first quarter from 64pc currently, following the seasonally weak fourth quarter. Braskem acknowledged that the higher import tariffs are a temporary government measure. The company is working to boost competitiveness in the petrochemical industry through conversion to renewables, improved technology and greater tax incentives for the industry, among other structural measures, Braskem chief financial officer Pedro Freitas said during the company's earnings call. To bolster the competitiveness of plastic resins made in Brazil, Braskem and fellow PVC producer Unipar Carbocloro have jointly requested the Brazilian government to increase the anti-dumping tariffs already imposed on PVC produced in the US, currently at 8.2pc. Both companies are also monitoring other polymers produced abroad for potential anti-dumping tariff requests. On the investment side, Freitas said Braskem may as much as double capacity at its petrochemical complex in Rio de Janeiro, where the company's cracker operates 100pc on ethane feedstock, and also increase capacity at its petrochemical complex in Bahia, which partially uses ethane. The company is monitoring the regulation of natural gas in Brazil to ensure greater availability of ethane present in the natural gas extracted from Petrobras' offshore operations in the country. The use of this ethane is in the company's plans, according to Freitas. Braskem also stated that it will invest around $60mn in a 30-40 day scheduled maintenance shutdown at its Mexican joint venture Braskem Idesa. The company's cracker in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, also is expected to be shut for scheduled maintenance down next year. In the US, Braskem said it is studying potential investments to produce green PP. Looking ahead to next year, Braskem said Donald Trump's victory this week in the US presidential election could lead to greater protectionism in the US, which would be beneficial for Braskem's US operations, or it could lead to weakened domestic demand in Brazil if overseas products that would typically have gone to the US instead shift to Brazil. Freitas said that even with the better outlook for next year coming from the tariff hike on polymers in Brazil, the Trump factor and other global issues such as the currently low petrochemical cycle are causing Braskem to consider possible capacity rationalization, with a possibly decision next year. 3Q production and sales Braskem's domestic resin sales fell by 2pc in the third quarter from a year prior, with volumes also falling in the US, Europe and Mexico. Domestic sales declined mostly because of higher levels of PE and PVC inventories in the transformation chain, Braskem said. Domestic resin sales reached 869,000 metric tonnes (t) in the third quarter, down from 884,000t a year earlier. Compared to the second quarter, the company's Brazil resin sales were up by 6pc on higher volumes of PP after operations at the Rio Grande do Sul petrochemical complex resumed after severe flooding, and greater demand from the hygiene and cleaning sectors. PVC volumes were supported by greater commercial opportunities in the civil construction and sanitation sectors. In Mexico, PE sales through the Braskem Idesa joint venture fell by 3pc on the year to 208,000t because of lower demand. Sales declined by 17pc from the second quarter mainly on inventory management and the expectation of a reduction in PE prices in the international market in the following periods. Third-quarter PP sales were 501,000t, according to consolidated numbers for the US and Europe, down by 8pc from a year earlier and little changed from the previous quarter. The declines were mainly because of lower availability of products for sale in both regions. Braskem narrowed its third-quarter loss to $106mn from a $497mn loss in the same period last year. The loss was largely attributed to a negative exchange rate variation of R$1.2bn ($211mn). By Fred Fernandes Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.
