Dry Bulk: Capesize Market on the Up
A turnaround in fortunes for the big ships, with a few slower days in the market. A build-up of tonnage and a lack of Brazil cargoes resulted in a slide in rates. The active West Australia/China trade saw rates cut 80 cents in a week, with $8.65 paid for a 13-15 September cargo from Dampier to Qingdao. Time-charter trading was also limited, but 174,000mt, 2005-built, fixed at $20,000 daily from Caofeidian for a West Australia round trip. Ballasters continued to head for Brazil, but rates eased with a mid-September cargo fixed to Qingdao around the mid $22.00s and an October position at $23.30. Some owners now appear willing to take under $22.00.Posted On:3-Sep-2018

Chennai port creates history by berthing giant ship
Chennai port (ChPT) has became the first major port to handle a very large crude carrier (VLCC) inside the port basin. All other major ports, including Chennai, have so far handled such ships outside port basin considering the vessel size and difficulty in manoeuvring such ships inside the basin. Some ports use Single Buoy Mooring or anchor the ships at a distance from the port to pump the crude by pipes.Posted On:3-Sep-2018
