Please turn to Slide 3. The minor bulk freight market in the third quarter of 2022 softened compared to the first half of the year as increasing inflation and interest rates slowed global growth and weakening construction activity and zero COVID policies drove a slowdown in the Chinese economy.
Index spot rates for Handysize and Supermax ships averaged $16,010 and $18,740 net per day, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022, both representing a decrease of 27% compared to the first half of 2022. Significantly lower than normal
