  • STX Pan Ocean wins record iron-ore deal
    South Korea's leading shipper of bulk cargo said yesterday that it has clinched a US$5.84 billion deal with Brazil's Vale to transport iron ore, calling it the world's single largest contract of its kind.
  • VLCC supply falls for 2nd week
    A glut of supertankers competing to ship Middle East crude shrank for a second week as unprofitable lease rates prompted owners to anchor some vessels and sail others more slowly.
  • Clean tanker rates rise to 7-month high
    Clean petroleum tanker rates on top global export routes were mixed on Monday with tight vessel supply pushing rates on routes to Japan to a seventh-month high. Typical Long Range 2, 75,000 tonne shipments from the Middle East Gulf (MEG) to Japan rose to W104.55 from W98.00 last week and was at its highest since Feb 23. Smaller Long Range 1, 55,000 tonne loads strengthened to W119.09 or US$14,919 a day, from W104.92 or US$10,719 a day last week and was at its highest since Feb 25.
  • Baltic Dry Index extends decline on glut of vessels
  • Colombian coal to gain from Panama expansion
Strait Talk
  • Arctic short-cut still perilous
    THIS week's column is about the Arctic Sea. However, I must disappoint those who may I assume I am about to reveal exclusive insights about the strange saga of the cargo ship of that name, apparently hijacked a month ago and still languishing somewhere near Las Palmas.
