The  ECI/China (S7) route also down by $ 1,872 per day (down by 9.00 pct) and closed at $ 18,859 per day . The S6 and S7 routes seemed to be slightly soft like all other Supramax routes.

The futures for three years (2010-2012) was firm for cape and panamax vessels and was at around Cape/$ 28,000 per day, Panamax/$ 22,000 per day, Supramax/$ 18,500 per day and Handy size/$ 14,000 per day.
