Realised TCE · reconstructed monthly

MR — realised time-charter earnings

Q4 2015 – Q2 2026

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 benchmark is computed

The median reported time-charter rate ($/day) across the charter fixtures our own pipeline collects for the MR class, using only those reported in the last 90 days so the figure reflects the current market. Snapshotted each ingest cycle; a segment with fewer than two recent fixtures is withheld rather than published on a thin sample. Data we collect ourselves — no third-party licence — so we publish it in full alongside the reported fixtures behind it.
