Market conditions: Confirmed activity in July was limited, amid continued tight tonnage supply in the Atlantic, with the few open ships in that region being warm and available for only very short periods. This situation was made worse by the force majeure that had been imposed on exports from Nigeria staying in place until 26 July. While greater enquiry was initially seen in the Pacific, this subsided as July progressed, amid reports that storage tanks both in Japan and Korea were close to being full. Estimated spot rates for modern 155,000cbm ships held at some US$105,000/day - unchanged from end-June levels.
