Advanced Shipping & Trading S.A. has released its Weekly Shipping Market Report for Week 36 of 2026, published on 5 September 2026. The Athens-based shipbroker's weekly reports track chartering and sale-and-purchase activity across the dry bulk and tanker segments, and are closely followed as an indicator of short-term sentiment in shipping markets.

In the dry bulk market, Navios Maritime Partners has committed its Capesize vessel "Navios Pollux". Capesize bulkers, typically around 150,000–200,000 dwt, are the largest dry bulk carriers and are employed mainly in long-haul trades such as iron ore and coal, which makes their employment patterns a widely watched barometer of bulk commodity trade flows. The ship is a 180,000 dwt bulkcarrier built in 2009 at STX, Korea, with special survey due 07/2029 and drydock due 11/2026, and is fitted with a scrubber. The exhaust gas cleaning system allows the vessel to run on conventional high-sulphur fuel oil while complying with IMO sulphur regulations, an advantage when the price spread between high- and low-sulphur fuels widens.

For readers tracking the sector, the upcoming drydock in November 2026 is a scheduled regulatory maintenance event, and further fixture details for vessels of this type appear in the full report, which is available as a PDF from Hellenic Shipping News: Advanced Market Report Week 36 (PDF)
