CAPESIZES
The market remained in the doldrums with today's BCI 4 timecharter
average at $4,708 daily the lowest number since 28 February 2011.
Rio Tinto featured in the market but took only two ships both for
8-12 April from Dampier to Qingdao and both at $7.50. One was the
Golden Zhejiang and the other an EdF vessel.
It emerged that the 2010-built EdF relet Pacific Capella did not fix
with BHP Billiton for a Port Hedland/Qingdao cargo at $7.55, although
the Australian shipper did fix a ship at this rate for 5-10 April.
The Pacific Capella has since been linked with Cargill on a West
Australia run, but details were not disclosed.

Singapore spot for a trip via Indonesia to China, but a rate was not
disclosed. The charterer was also said to have taken the 1995-built

again a rate was not reported.
In the Atlantic there was talk that Cargill booked tonnage for a
12-21 April 160,000-tonne 10% cargo from Tubarao to Qingdao at $19.40
- a low rate. However some sources said the charterer possibly used
in-house tonnage.

held up by strikes in Argentina, but much of the activity for grain
recently has been from Brazil.

few days few days, but rates have largely held steady rather than
pushed on. Fresh business is needed, brokers said.

extent still remained dependent on South America trade. Rates paid
were mixed with ships trading from Japan booked a good levels with
demand still evident. Indonesia remained relatively active though Post
Panamaxes here continued to struggle.

affecting Queensland ports and problems with trainlines, brokers said.
