作为中国唯一的国家级航运交易所，上海航运交易所28日在上海发布了中国进口原油运价指数(CTFI)和中国进口干散货运价指数(CDFI)。
Shanghai (CNS) -- The Shanghai Shipping Exchange on Wednesday released the mainland's first crude oil import and dry bulk freight indices.
The crude oil index will cover two import routes, one between Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia, and Ningbo in Zhejiang Province. The other is the route between Ningbo and Malongo, located in the Cabinda Enclave of Angola, West Africa.
The bulk freight index will focus on imported iron ore, coal, grain and nickel ore along 14 routes.
Shanghai has vowed to develop into an international shipping center with the capacity to allocate global resources by 2020, and the two key indexes will strengthen the city's voice in the international community, said a local expert.
The Shanghai Shipping Exchange was established on November 28, 1996. It issued the China Containerized Freight Index and the Chinese Coastal Bulk Freight Index respectively in 1998 and 2001, both of which are internationally recognized and widely used.
