The dry bulk freight market continued its strong upward strength in the third quarter. Handysize and Supramax monthly average market freight rates reached 13-year highs in September, driven by robust global demand for commodities and reducing fleet growth, and that was aided by fleet inefficiencies. The upward trend was briefly interrupted by the seasonal reduction in Australian grain export in July and also the impact of Hurricane Ida on the U.S. grain export in September.
