Eastern Supramaxes have seen choppier waters of late with rates for NoPac rounds moving largely sideways in the US$ 14,000s on tonnage of 58,000 dwt and the US$ 16,000s for Ultras of 62-63,000 dwt. Black Sea front hauls, meanwhile, have started to bounce back to prior highs with more Supra owners seeing rates in the US$ 26-27,000 range instead of the US$ 25-26,000 range of a week before. Volatility is back in the Atlantic with APS rates for cement from Turkish Med to USG on 58,000 dwt ships said to have been done at everything from US$ 12,250 daily plus US$ 170,000 BB to US$ 15,250 daily plus US$ 175,000 BB (ILOHC). Another 2010-built 58,000 dwt is said to be on subs from South Africa to WCI at US$ 18,000 daily plus US$ 180,000 BB (or if ECI at US$19,000 daily plus US$ 190,000 BB).
