Small-tonnage rates within grain corridor climbing up, while those ex Danube, EU and TBS holding steady

摘要

The pace of trade remains quite high in the Black Sea mainly thanks to Ukrainian grain exports. Brokers report fewer open vessels available on the market. However, charterers manage to keep rates ex Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey steady: Thus, 6,000 t of wheat have been fixed from Varna to the northern Adriatic at $41.5/t (equivalent to $5.3-5.6k daily bss RV); The deal for transportation of 3-4,000 t of wheat from Varna to the Marmara Sea is negotiated at $25-26/t (equivalent to $4-4.5k daily bss RV);
