Baltic & North Seas: Coaster rates got stuck at last week's levels

摘要

The situation has not changed significantly on the Baltic & Continent coaster market so far. The cargo traffic from local ports remains moderate, while fresh requests are few. Thus, charterers have virtually no problems finding open vessels. Note that owners still try to keep the market at quite high levels, being now supported by a noticeable upturn in bunker prices. Freight rates hold relatively steady.
