In the meantime, Panamax charter rates were soft and ships were reported fixed delivery Indonesia around $ 4,000 per day for a trip to India below its break-even point. Freight rates are still expected to be weak on Supramax and Panamax in coming days.

The Cape average charter rates were reported at around $ 5,117 per day, far below its break-even point, Panamax is at around $ 3,984 per day , Supramax at $ 5,077 per day and Handy size/$ 4,021 per day.
