Freight market

摘要

Global CFI has held steady for the second consecutive week. Further decrease in freight rates for grain transportation ex shallow AzovSea ports (Russian Azov Sea CFI has sagged by $0.43/t) has been offset by slight growth in rates for 8-12,000 dwt vessels in the BlackSea region (BlSea CFI has inched up by $0.08/t, Ukrainian Azov Sea CFI by $0.18/t). Daily earnings for both sea-river ships and smalldwt seagoing vessels have stepped down further due to a $10-20/t increase in bunker fuel prices. Only the TCE for up to 8-12,000 dwtmini-bulkers has risen by around $200/day in the Black Sea region.
