Export shipments by water transport in November increased to 4,3 million tons - a record monthly figure since April this year. In particular, 2,7 million tons were exported through Black Sea ports and 1,6 million tons through Danube ports.

Freight rates remained unchanged. There is already a limited offer of the sea fleet for the transportation of goods from the ports of the Black Sea. At the same time, the supply of the Danube fleet is steadily exceeding the demand for transportation, which has led to a slight reduction in freight rates compared to last week.

Market rates for transportation by water transport:

• Izmail, Ukraine – Constanta, Romania @€20-26 (1-3 thousand tons);

• Izmail, Ukraine – Ruse, Bulgaria @€25-29 (1-3 thousand tons);

• Chornomorsk, Ukraine - east. Italy @$40-45 (16-20 thousand tons);
