Panamaxes under pressure (04 Mar 2025)

Bearish forces have been unrelenting on Panamax trades with another round of losses sustained across the spot market and daily cuts of more than US$ 200 on the Pac round voyage, taking it to US$ 11,000 daily on 82,000 dwt vessels. There has been talk of new agri-prods coming on stream from the South American export markets, although market players have not confirmed this as tangible reality thus far. Trans-Atlantic business is nearly as bearish with up to US$ 200 being lost by the day on the TARV rates on Kamsarmaxes with a little over US$ 6,000 now.
