Coaster owners trying to strengthen positions in Mediterranean Sea

摘要

Amid upcoming holidays in Muslim countries, the Mediterranean market activity has increased slightly as many players are trying to sign deals before the holiday period, which brings some excitement to the market. Tonnage demand looks quite strong in all parts of the basin thanks to regular offers of main cargoes, namely fertilizers, minerals, steel and agri products. Owners are very aggressive and insist on freights above last done levels even despite increased spot tonnage list.
