Diana Shipping has fixed out two post-panamax bulkers to secure more term revenue.

The New York-listed Greek shipowner said it had struck a deal with Greek operator Aquavita International for the 87,150-dwt Electra (built 2013) at a gross rate of $14,000 per day, minus a 4.75% commission paid to third parties.

The minimum period is until 15 October 2025, with options to keep the ship employed up to the end of next year.
