# Freight Rates from Ukrainian Danube to Egypt Surge by $19/t Amid Rising Grain Export Demand | Tridge Insights

> Freight rates for grain from Ukrainian Danube ports to Egypt rose $19 per tonne in a week, reaching $65-67 per tonne. The increase is driven by Egypt's demand for coaster-vessel grain shipments and limited handysize availability. Early signs of stabilization appeared as charterers began offering lower rates.

## Why it matters

Higher short-sea freight raises the landed cost of Ukrainian maize and wheat into Egypt, supporting prices in that route. Signs of rate easing suggest the upward pressure may be limited.
