    AbstractWe develop an accurate valuation setup for freight options, featuring an exponential mean-reverting model for the freight rate with distinct reversion scales for its jump and diffusion components. We calibrate to Baltic option prices and analyze the freight rate dynamics. More specifically, we observe that jumps dissipate faster than the diffusive deviations about the equilibrium level. We benchmark against practitioners’ model of choice, i.e., the lognormal model, and variants, and find that our approach reduces the pricing error while preserving analytical tractability and computational competence. We also find that neglecting fast mean-reverting jumps leads to nontrivial option mispricings.
