The company, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, has also agreed to extend the present time charter contract with Ausca Shipping Limited, Hong Kong, for one of its Panamax dry bulk vessels, the m/v Oceanis. The gross charter rate is US$10 350/d, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties, for a period until minimum 1 January 2020 up to maximum 31 March 2020. The new charter period is expected to commence on 16 November 2018. The m/v Oceanis is currently chartered, as previously announced, at a gross charter rate of US$7000/d, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties.

The Oceanis is a 75 211 DWT Panamax dry bulk vessel built in 2001.
