Diana Shipping Inc., a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of dry bulk vessels, has, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, agreed to extend the present time charter contract with Cargill International S.A., Geneva, for one of its post-panamax dry bulk vessels, the m/v Polymnia, for a period of about 13 months to maximum 16 months.
The gross charter rate is US$10 100 per day, minus a 4.75% commission paid to third parties. The new charter period is expected to commence on March 15, 2017.
The “Polymnia” is a 98 704 DWT post-panamax dry bulk vessel built in 2012.
