What This Rate Measures
CommodityScope indicative weekly voyage freight assessment for grain from Argentina to Iran, Panamax vessels, in USD/mt.
Dry-bulk grain voyage rates: Dry-bulk grain voyage rates are CommodityScope weekly indicative freight assessments for a defined origin, destination and freight basis. Depending on the series, the basis may specify a parcel size, a vessel class, or both. Each distinct origin, destination and parcel/vessel basis is maintained as a separate series.
- The assessment basis states the vessel class (Panamax) rather than a tonnage for this route; the tonnage actually carried is not specified.

Computed Summary
Calculated from the CommodityScope assessment series shown above. Each statistic states its applicable period and calculation method.
The latest rate of $61.00/mt on 28 Feb 2026 is unchanged from the previous weekly assessment (21 Feb 2026).
Method: Computed by CommodityScope as the difference between the two most recent weekly observations (7 calendar days apart).
Over the available history (31 Jan 2026 – 28 Feb 2026), the highest rate was $61.00/mt on 31 Jan 2026 and the lowest was $61.00/mt on 31 Jan 2026.
Method: Minimum and maximum of the rate over the available history (31 Jan 2026 – 28 Feb 2026, 5 observations). This is not an all-time record.
- No completed calendar month with at least 3 weekly observations is loaded, so the latest value is not compared with a monthly average.

What This Assessment Represents
This is a CommodityScope indicative voyage freight assessment for the origin, destination, commodity and parcel-size or vessel-class basis defined above. It is not a live fixture. Russia and Ukraine are separate origins on separate pages; where a lane publishes several lot sizes, each lot size is a separate series on the same page. Laycan, named berths and vessel identity are not inferred when the series basis does not specify them.
How to use
- Combine the freight rate with a comparable FOB origin price to estimate a CFR-equivalent sea-delivered value, provided the cargo and freight bases are compatible.
- Compare freight levels across different origin and vessel/parcel bases; differences may reflect route, vessel availability, port conditions, timing and market balance.
Not suitable for
- Fixing a vessel: no laycan, vessel name, terms (e.g. load/discharge rates) or demurrage are implied.
- Mixing lot sizes: a 30,000 mt coaster/handysize stem is not the same market as a 40/50,000 mt panamax stem.
