Methodology
The Baltic Dry-Bulk Shipping Index (BDRY) is published by the Baltic Exchange. The index is constructed and maintained by the Baltic Exchange; Demeter republishes the values without modification as a companion macro reference series alongside its proprietary catalogue.
For the authoritative methodology document, vessel-class composition, route-weighting and assessment conventions, please refer to the Baltic Exchange's published methodology.
For questions about Demeter's republished feed or licensing BDRY alongside Demeter's proprietary catalogue, please contact the index team.
