The capesize index, which transports 150,000-ton cargoes like iron ore and coal, also increased for the second day, adding 114 points to its highest since April 8 at 1,846 points; and the panamax index, which usually tracks vessels carrying 60,000-70,000 tons of coal or grains, rose for the seventh straight session, up 39 points to its highest since April 4 at 1,372 points.

Among smaller vessels, the supramax index rose 12 points to a three-week high of 976 points.
