The Baltic Exchange has announced changes to its dry bulk indices in its effort to meet the standards set by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).

According to the latest changes, the Baltic Exchange will start dual reporting of panamaxes based on a Tess 82,500-dwt gearless panamax on 24 April.

Another amendment will see the Baltic cease publishing the 52,000-dwt assessments for supramaxes from 3 April, following a successful three-year period of dual reporting of 58,000-dwt ships.
