Herbjørn Hansson’s Nordic American Tankers (NAT) has entered into a new contract with Norwegian energy giant Equinor for 2011-built suezmax Nordic Zenith.
The contract will commence on expiration for the vessel’s current spot employment, and is for a period of 12 to 15 months.
NAT says the contract is valued at somewhere between $9m and $11m.
“Going forward, we sense a strong upward trend for the tanker industry,” the company said.
