Diana Shipping has delivered a positive note for the bulker market after securing a near-two-year charter for one of its newcastlemaxes at a higher rate.
It came at the same time as the New York-listed shipowner sold one of its vessels.
Freight operator SwissMarine agreed to pay $26,000 per day to employ the 208,000-dwt San Francisco (built 2017) from 27 February onwards, for between 20 and 22 months.
