Reading the Black Sea–Libya freight series

Libya imports most of its wheat and flour-grade grain through Tripoli, Misurata and Benghazi in Handysize lots. It is the eastern-most of the North African destinations and the shortest of the three Maghreb routes from the Black Sea.

The rate rose from 28 to 76 USD/MT — identical in start, end and 17-dollar final-week step to the Morocco series, and one dollar above the Tunisia/Algeria line throughout. Low was the first print, high the last.

Because Libya is closer than Morocco, an identical rate implies the source is quoting a regional Handysize level rather than a route-specific voyage calculation; a firm freight indication for a specific Libyan port should be obtained before pricing CIF.
