MID-SHIP Cement Report – April 30, 2026

April 30, 2026

Market Overview: 

Handysize and Supramax markets generally lost momentum as holidays across Asia and the upcoming Labour Day curtailed activity. In the Supramax segment, both basins were subdued with limited fresh enquiry, though spot indications in Asia remained workable despite the lack of volume, highlighted by a Tianjin open fixed to Sri Lanka at $23,000. The Supramax 11TC eased slightly to $19,391, reflecting the slower tone rather than any sharp shift in fundamentals. Handysize conditions were more mixed, while Continent and Mediterranean markets stayed soft, the US Gulf and South Atlantic continued to benefit from steady enquiry, gradually pushing rates higher. The Pacific remained firm on limited tonnage availability, with the BHSI edging higher to 811 and the 7TC averaging $14,597, supported by a trickle of fresh fixing activity.
