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.
