Average charter rates for Capesizes lost further ground last week, dropping 9% to $5,188/day. The Capesize spot voyage rate from Newcastle to Qingdao retreated $0.15/t to $12.00/t while the Puerto Bolivar to Rotterdam rate sank $0.30/t to $9.00/t, the lowest since May 2011. Chartering activity on the influential iron ore trades from NW Australia were heavily restricted by the approach of tropical cyclone Lua, which forced the closure of port and supply chain facilities in the region for a couple of days.
