ERS-CFix

The Continent Feeder index (ERS CFix) offers an overview of one of our core markets and distinguishes itself from any other global index rate through its geographical focus. Published monthly since January 2016, the index incorporates North European fixtures of gearless container ships in the size range of 280 – 800 TEU@14t.

Five size-subcategories are weighted by their historic activity levels to form the overall ERS CFix. The ERS CFix is only based on actual fixtures and does not include any estimates.
