Nov 10 (Reuters) – The Baltic Exchange’s main sea freight index, which tracks rates for capesize, panamax and supramax vessels, edged lower on Tuesday due to weaker rates across all vessel segments.
* The Baltic dry index was down 7 points, or 0.6%, at 1,200.
* The capesize index eased 8 points, or 0.4%, to 1,782.
* Average daily earnings for capesizes, which typically transport 150,000-tonne cargoes such as iron ore and coal, fell $67 to $14,781.
* The panamax index fell 11 points, or 0.9%, to 1,170 for the ninth straight session.
* Average daily earnings for panamaxes, which usually carry coal or grain cargoes of about 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes, fell $95 to $10,530.
* The supramax index shed 5 points to 888. (Reporting by Asha Sistla in Bengaluru; Editing by Devika Syamnath)
