What These Assessments Measure

This page covers MR cargoes of 37,000 mt. It is maintained as a distinct series under the CommodityScope methodology.

Each assessment represents CommodityScope's estimate of the freight market level for its stated basis on the assessment date. It is not a vessel-specific offer, confirmed fixture or agreed charter-party rate.

Computed Summary — MR · 37,000 mt

Calculated by CommodityScope from the USD/mt observations of MR · 37,000 mt only. Each statistic states its observation period and calculation method.

  1. The latest assessment of $156.76/mt on 30 October 2026 is unchanged from the previous assessment of $156.76/mt on 29 October 2026.

    Method: Absolute change equals the latest assessment minus the previous available assessment. Percentage change equals that difference divided by the previous assessment, multiplied by 100. The two observations are one calendar day apart.

  2. Across the 44 available observations from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026, the highest assessment was $156.76/mt on 26 October. The lowest was $48.65/mt on 4 September.

    Method: Minimum and maximum of the available assessments within the stated period. These are extrema of the available history, not all-time market records.

  3. The latest assessment is 182.6% above the September 2026 average of $55.47/mt, the most recent completed month with 22 daily observations.

    Method: Arithmetic mean of the daily assessments in September 2026. Months still in progress are excluded from this comparison.
