Greek dry bulk owner Diana Shipping has entered into a time charter contract with SwissMarine for 2015-built capesize New Orleans.
SwissMarine is paying $21,000 per day for the vessel for a period of 11-13 months, almost double the $11,250 per day being paid by the previous charterer Koch Shipping.
The contract is expected to generate around $6.93m based on the minimum time charter period.
