Diana Shipping Inc. has announced that, through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, it has entered into a time charter contract with Bohai Shipping Co. Ltd, for one of its capesize dry bulk vessels, the m/v P. S. Palios.

The P. S. Palios is a 179 134 DWT capesize dry bulk vessel built in 2013.
The employment of P. S. Palios has been anticipated to generate approximately US$14.39 million of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the time charter.

At present, the combined carrying capacity of the company’s fleet including the m/v Houston and excluding the two vessels not yet delivered, is approximately 4.4 million DWT with a weighted average age of 10.71 years.
