Seaborne Logistics·Freight Monitor
Fertilizer Seaborne Freight Rates
Fertilizer bulk shipping logistics are segmented by specific cargo lot sizes (typically 12kt, 25–30kt, and 40–50kt stems) connecting key nitrogen export origins (Arab Gulf, North Africa, Baltic) to primary discharge basins in Brazil, North America, and Europe.
What These Rates Measure
Indicative weekly freight rates for urea and UAN cargoes on named bulk routes, with the vessel tonnage where the source publishes it.
- Rates are USD/mt of cargo, weekly, indicative; tonnage is shown where the source publishes it.
- Routes are origin-to-destination pairs (e.g. Mideast Gulf → Brazil, Baltic → …); a different tonnage on the same pair is a separate page.
- 15 routes loaded; units: USD/mt; latest dates 3 Sep 2026 – 3 Sep 2026.
- Lot sizes / vessel classes present: 12kt, 25kt, 30kt, 40kt, 45kt, 60kt, 6kt. Each stays on its own route page.
- Not published by the source and therefore not shown: laycan, vessel identity, load/discharge terms.
