Brazil’s state-owned energy major Petrobras has fixed two VLCCs on long-term charters from Euronav and Neda Maritime.
Belgian owner Euronav has sealed a two-year deal for its 2016-built Donoussa. The 300,000 dwt Daewoo-built ship will earn $48,000 per day, according to brokers.
Meanwhile, Greek bulker and tanker owner Neda Maritime has won more work for the 2012-built Aquila. The 319,300 dwt ship has been contracted for two years plus a one-year option at a daily rate of $47,000.
The same scrubber-fitted ship has been on charter to Petrobras since November 2020 at a reported $29.500 per day.
In related VLCC news, Norway’s Equinor has been linked to Al Seer Marine’s 2020-built Acrux for a three-year deal at $50,000 per day.
