# MID-SHIP Report: Dry Bulk Freight Market - May 7, 2025 - MID-SHIP Group

> MID-SHIP reports that the Cape market continues to soften in both basins amid weak Chinese dry bulk demand, while the Panamax time charter average holds near $12,000 per day. The Supramax segment appears to have stabilized, with Trans-Atlantic rates lifted by grain exports from East Coast South America.
