13626 SK Shipping picked up on Tuesday where George Economou left off earlier by spending $100,000 a day on a capesize Atlantic roundtrip.
Other capesize routes were also showing strong figures which boosted the index but panamaxes were comparatively flat and supramaxes decidedly dead.
Capesizes
The 172,000-dwt Cape Awoba (built 1996) was the one getting $100,000 a day from SK Shipping for an Atlantic return journey.
Deiulemar is making a nice profit off the relet of the 172,000-dwt Mineral China (built 2003) to Rio Tinto for a roundtrip from China to Australia at $77,500 a day. The Italian booked it towards the end of 2008 for a year at $39,000.
Not to be outdone BHP Billiton put down $80,000 for the same itinerary with the 170,000-dwt Cape Pioneer (built 2005).
Panamaxes
RBD Armatori also did a nice bit of business on a relet. It booked the 73,300-dwt Barbara (built 1997) earlier this week for 12 to 14 months at $23,000 and has now let it out to Louis Dreyfus for a trip from the Middle East to South America and the Far East at $30,000.
Bunge spent $25,000 a day on a similar itinerary with the 74,200-dwt Banzai (built 2002) except it kicks off in India.
A haul from the Far East to Australia and on to the Persian Gulf set K Line back $25,000 a day with the 76,500-dwt Dolce (built 2007).
The 75,300-dwt Nordmosel (built 2001) got $28,000 daily for an Atlantic roundtrip with Noble paying nearly $30,000 a day for a Med/Baltic spin with the 73,400-dwt Happy Clipper (built 2001).
The 72,400-dwt Seapowet (built 1992) is also hanging around northern Europe for $26,000 a day.
The period charter market was quite active and showed the odd robust rate for short-term deals.
STX Pan Ocean has the 77,800-dwt Tai Progress (built 2004) for five to seven months at $31,000 and the 74,000-dwt Riruccia (built 1997) picked up $1,000 a day less for three to four months.
Practica paid $25,750 a day for four to six months with the 73,700-dwt Golden Shadow (built 1997) with Cargill spending $22,000 daily on the same period with the 74,300-dwt Evanthia (built 2001).
The longest deal was for between 25 and 28 months with the 74,200-dwt Oregon (built 2002), Hyundai Merchant Marine picking up the $16,700 a day tab.
Supramaxes
There was scant activity here as Russia’s MUR paid $16,400 per day for the 52,300-dwt Shamrock (built 2006) to go from South Africa to the Atlantic.
And South Africa’s IVS has the 39,100-dwt Steel Might (built 1985) from a home port to Europe at $12,000.
