Handysize — realised time-charter earnings

Q2 2018 – Q4 2023
Anchor paused · as of Q4 2023

Real quarterly $/day from listed shipowners’ own earnings filings (the marked anchors), with a monthly path reconstructed between them from licence-clean freight, activity and commodity indicators. The reconstruction averages back to each real quarter exactly; the shaded band is its interpolation uncertainty. A model estimate, not a market index — independent of any licensed benchmark.

Anchors: realised TCE disclosed in public shipowners’ SEC filings (facts, cross-owner median per quarter). Monthly path: Chow-Lin reconstruction from licence-clean indicators — a model estimate, not a licensed index.

How this index is computed

Daily $/day time-charter equivalent across the standard handysize route basket, averaged from reported charter fixtures and converted to a single index point. Published each business day; non-publishing days simply have no point (weekends and holidays legitimately lag). The Maritime republishes this licensed daily index under our own generic name; we never reproduce the licensor's brand or letter-code.
