MR: realised time-charter earnings
Realised quarterly earnings (dots) with a monthly estimate between them; the shaded band is the typical range. The monthly line averages back to each realised quarter, so it fills the path between them without contradicting them. An estimate, not a market index.
Dots: realised time-charter equivalent, the median across owners each quarter. Line: monthly estimate between realised quarters; band: typical range.

How this benchmark is computed
The headline is the median realised time-charter equivalent ($/day) for the MR class each quarter, with a monthly estimate between quarters. The observed range and the fixtures below come from charter fixtures reported in the last 90 days; a class with fewer than two recent fixtures is withheld rather than published on a thin sample.
