      Chapter 684
      Freight Route TD3 (Baltic) Swap Futures
      684.02.        FLOATING PRICE
                         The Floating Price for each contract month is equal to the arithmetic average of the rates for each business day that the TD3 Tanker Route (for 260,000 250,000 metric tons for Middle East Gulf Arab Gulf to Japan) is published by the Baltic Exchange over the contract month. If for any reason the Baltic Exchange cannot provide any rate required for establishing the Floating Price, then the Forward Freight Agreement Brokers Association (FFABA) may be instructed by either party to form a panel to establish any rate which will be binding on both parties.
