TNT Dry Freight Review - November 11, 2008
PANAMAX
=======
Atlantic business was clearly more active and rates appeared to have steadied,
though it is anyone's guess if this means bottom or not. Demand for period
business was noted, with 8-10 months trading seeing $15,500 daily, while a
slightly longer period of 11-13 months was done at $14,250 daily. Although
there was more inquiry noted in the Far East, business was still very slow and
rates have yet to move up significantly. Pacific round voyage rates can expect
to see rates in the range of $5,000-$6,000 daily, while trips back to the
Atlantic will likely earn $3,000-$4,000 daily, according to sources. Demand for
period tonnage has picked up as rates fell, but details remained elusive. The
Baltic Panamax index jumped 26 to 858.
