Market assessment
There were no changes of freight levels observed during the past week within the coaster segment. Still there is a surplus of available tonnage existing in the region compared to fresh firm orders available on the market. Charterers aggressively trying to pull down the levels however owners again succeeded to prevent this which resulted in large gaps between fixing ideas.
Freight rates for handysize segment from the Black Sea remained stable with minor fluctuations during last week. Owners successfully resisted downward pressure on freight rates even though limited amount of firm cargoes still exists on the market.
Also, concerned parties should keep in mind that starting May 1, 2025, the Mediterranean Sea will officially become an Emission Control Area (ECA), bringing stricter environmental standards for ships operating in the region. Under the new regulations, vessels sailing within the Mediterranean must use marine fuels with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.1% m/m. These changes are expected to increase operating costs for shipowners and may also influence their freight indications and commercial offers.
