Ukrainian-Greek operator Aquavita International has chartered a panamax and a kamsarmax bulk carrier owned by Diana Shipping.
The Greek shipowner's ice-classed, 77,529-dwt panamax Atalandi (built 2014) was fixed to the operator for 17 to 19 months at a gross rate of $24,500 per day, minus 4.75% commission.
The charter is expected to commence on 3 October following the conclusion of the Atalandi's current contract with Uniper Global Commodities, during which it has been earning a gross rate of $9,300 per day.
