Upon delivery to new owners, the vessel will be chartered back by the company at a gross daily charter rate of US$16 050 for a period of 10 – 14 months.

“Having ordered recently an additional IMO Phase 3 newbuild Kamsarmax vessel and sold a 2012 Panamax vessel, we continue our strategy to selectively sell relatively older tonnage and gradually replace it with newbuilds of latest available designs, aiming to improve our fleets’ environmental performance and increase our competitiveness in a new more stringent regulatory environment.”
