Baltic index at near 3-week peak as panamax rates jump

Aug 10 (Reuters) - The Baltic Exchange's main sea freight index hit a near three-week high on Monday, as the panamax index soared to its highest level in more than 9 months.

* The Baltic dry index, which tracks rates for ships ferrying dry bulk commodities and reflects rates for capesize, panamax and supramax vessels, was up 5 points, or 0.3%, at 1,506, its highest in nearly three weeks.

* The panamax index gained 37 points, or 2.4%, to 1,600, its highest in over 9 months.

* Average daily earnings for panamaxes, which usually carry coal or grain cargoes of about 60,000 tonnes to 70,000 tonnes, rose $330 to $14,400.

* The Baltic capesize index fell 26 points, or 1.1%, to 2,375.

* Average daily earnings for capesizes, which typically transport cargoes of 170,000 tonnes to 180,000 tonnes, including iron ore and coal, were down $215 at $19,697.

* The supramax index edged up 12 points to 867. (Reporting by Shreyansi Singh in Bengaluru; Editing by Amy Caren Daniel)
