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

• Breakwave Dry Bulk ETF $13.12 (-6.95%) tracks a freight-futures basket — a Handysize/Supramax voyage still needs a same-day tape.
• WTI $94.57/bbl (+2.96%) feeds bunker. A 10–14 day Cape of Good Hope diversion multiplies that burn.
