On the 42nd week freight rates continue to go up in the Azov-Black Sea region
On the 42nd week freight rates continue to go up in the Azov-Black Sea region. Thus, a shipment of 3,000 tons of wheat from the port of Azov to the Marmara Sea ports will cost USD 44 pmt. The increase in rates is primarily due to the lack of spot vessels. Most charterers are searching for vessels opening this week to ship wheat and corn before the introduction of a new export fee.
