The Howe Robinson Container Index (HRCI) increased from 360.5 points for the week ending on 1 May to 361.8 points for the one ending on 15 May. This minimal 1.3 point rise in the HRCI equates to a 0% change - in effect, there was barely any movement over the last two weeks. Most rate adjustments hovered around the 0% mark, with the biggest falls coming from the larger categories. Only the figures for the 3,500 and 4,300 teu segments declined, by 4% and 2% respectively. Smaller sectors were slightly more positive, with the charges for units with less than 1,100 teu capacity increasing over the fortnight. There has been some interest in small to mid-sized ships, but fixtures made have been for short term contracts. CMA CGM, for example, chartered in the 1,512 teu San Vicente for two months, with an option for two more, at the low rate of USD 4,200 per day, while STX Pan Ocean has fixed the 1,296 teu Warnow Vaquita for a three-month charter, with extension options, at USD 4,450 per day.

机译：Howe Robinson集装箱指数（HRCI）从5月1日结束的一周的360.5点增加到5月15日结束的一周的361.8点。 HRCI的最小1.3点上升等于0％的变化-实际上，过去两周几乎没有任何变化。大多数利率调整幅度都徘徊在0％左右，最大的降幅来自较大的类别。仅3,500和4,300 teu分段的数字分别下降了4％和2％。较小的部门则较为积极，在过去的两周中，容量小于1100 teu的装置的费用有所增加。人们对中小型船舶产生了一定的兴趣，但是所制造的固定装置是针对短期合同的。例如，CMA CGM租用了1,512 teu圣维森特，租期两个月，可以再租两个，价格为每天4,200美元，而STX Pan Ocean已将1,296 teu Warnow Vaquita租期三个月包机，带扩展选项，每天4,450美元。
