Baltic Dry Index is made up of three sub-indexes which measures various sizes of dry bulk carriers(merchant ships) - Panamax, Supramax, and Capesize. Numerous geographic routes are assessed for each index to provide depth to the composite measurement of the index.
Also called as the "Dry Bulk Index."
