            Having improved slightly, the small-tonnage market sentiment has deteriorated again this week, partly due to the start of Ramadan and minimized activity in the Mediterranean Sea (primarily this applies to shipments of fertilizers and minerals from North African ports).

            The last week of winter has been marked by worsening ice conditions in the Azov Sea , as well as by less favorable weather conditions in the northern and eastern parts of the Black Sea. Activity has not changed much in both the Black and Mediterranean Seas, remaining weak.

            The sentiment has improved slightly on the small-tonnage shipping market during the week. Primarily this applies to the Black Sea and North Sea segments, where shipments of finished and semi-finished steel products, as well as grain, have got slightly brisker.
