The market

The charter rates tracker.

Quarterly updates on rate movements, sourced from confirmed charter contracts across our broker network.

How we track

The desk aggregates anonymised closed-charter data from the 47 brokers in our network — roughly 600 confirmed contracts per quarter across the Mediterranean and Caribbean. We normalise for vessel size, season, and itinerary, then publish quarterly directional indicators.

What we publish

The Brief covers the headline movements every Thursday. The full quarterly report (available to members) drills down by region, vessel size, and broker performance. Subscribe for the headline; apply for membership for the deep cuts.
