Greek drybulk outfit Diana Shipping has fixed 2004-built panamax bulker Thetis to Transgrain Shipping for a period of ten to thirteen months.
The time charter contract for the 73,583 dwt vessel commences June 16, at a rate of $5,150 per day less a 5% commission paid to third parties. The rate is $200 per day lower than that being paid for Diana’s 2005-built panamax Clio, which Transgrain extended the charter for in April.
Diana said that the new contact for Thetis will generate around $1.55m of gross revenue based on the minimum charter period.
