What to check on the cargo

• Confirm route, vessel class, ports and laycan; a basket index is not a same-day voyage quote.
• For a diversion, recalculate steaming days, bunker, insurance and demurrage.

How to apply it to a cargo

• CME corn 543.50 ¢/bu ($5.43/bu) (+2.45%); SRW wheat 726.50 ¢/bu ($7.26/bu); soybeans 1,327.75 ¢/bu ($13.28/bu).
• Soybean meal $368.60/st (-0.03%) is a CBOT screen, not a CFR Vietnam or China landed number.
• CF Industries $123.27 and Mosaic $24.07 are nitrogen/phosphate equities, not prilled urea or DAP granule prints.

Map the screen to a real parcel through Agricultural Commodities & Fertilizer Supply and, where freight dominates the landed bill, vessel chartering or cargo logistics.
