Skelton Sherborne Shipping Index January 2010
23 Feb 2010
The number of machines imported has fallen by 11% in January from December. This is the third consecutive month of decline.
Seasonally this is quietest time of the year so we are still not reading anything too sinister into these figures. Traditionally March is where we normally see a rebound in volumes post Christmas. We are experiencing very strong growth in used equipment volumes currently particularly from the USA and auction houses.
There was a noticeable decrease in Graders, Screeners and Crushers and Bitumen Mixing Machines, while Tree Fellers and Scrapers were up.

Skelton Sherborne Shipping Index November 09
06 Jan 2010
Happy new year to our subscribers! The data did not come through in the regular schedule during the Christmas break hence we are only able to report November’s statistics now.
While the number of machines decreased slightly the FOB (customs) value of equipment increased. Mining equipment and new machinery seems to have figured more strongly driving this result.
There was a noticeable decrease in Bitumen mixing plants/machines and Road making/Paving & other Public Works, which was mostly offset by increases in Graders, Screeners, and Dump Trucks. For full details and to download the report click here.
