We are making adjustments to our models to reflect lower shipping rates. Dry bulk shipping rates have been weak in the third quarter. As a result, we are lowering the assumed rate for uncommitted ships to $19,500/day from $23,650/day. Management guided analysts to a $23,650/day number when reporting second quarter results but now believes the rate will be below $20,000/day. Every $1,000 reduction in uncommitted daily TCE rates reduces net income by $1.1 million or $0.01 per share.
We are also raising our interest expense estimate to reflect higher interest rates. We are raising our third quarter interest expense estimate to $5.0 million from $3.5 million to reflect higher LIBOR rates. LIBOR rates have increased from 0.1% to more than 4.0% in the last twelve months. We are also formally incorporating the $28 million term loan that was announced last week into our models.
