Secondhand bulk carrier values stay strong despite declining freight markets sentiment
- Average values of secondhand dry cargo carriers have strengthened since early 2026
- Smaller vessel segments such as supramaxes and handysizes have seen gains of up to 15%
- Capesize vessel values however have remained largely flat in recent weeks
While the conflict in the MEG has begun to weigh on freight rates, causing rate declines across all vessel segments, it has not yet significantly impacted vessel values or sales volumes
