New York-listed VLCC tanker owner DHT Holdings has revealed a charter for one of its VLCCs has been cancelled, while it has secured a new charter for another.
2006-built DHT Scandinavia suffered a significant delayed discharging cargo on its current voyage leading to a failure to deliver the vessel on time for a 12-month time charter contract. The charter, which includes a three-month option, was subsequently cancelled. VesselsValue shows a day rate of $67,300 on the deal.
Meanwhile, 2018-built DHT Stallion has entered into a two-year time-charter, with options, with an oil major at $41,800 per day. The vessel is scheduled to be delivered next month.

The company also said it has agreed to voluntary prepay all the 2021 instalments, worth $33.4m, under its ABN Amro facility. For the second half of the year, it estimates that its ships trading on spot will need to earn just $2,800 per day to break even, rising to $11,400 in 2021.
