Nice photos ! Thank you . As for the DWT ranges , i think it would be a good idea to mention the Organization from which we find them because each org. gives different data for each ship.

I have mentioned the source above: Baltic Exchange.

What you say is true, because I have also seen many variations. However mentioning all the different variations / organisation's measurements would be too much.
