Another two of Himalaya Shipping’s dual-fuel newcastlemax bulk carriers have been fixed out on lengthy charters.
The fixtures mean that long-term employment has been secured for 11 of the Oslo-listed shipowner’s fleet of 12 newcastlemaxes, of which six are still to be delivered.
Himalaya on Monday said it has fixed two vessels on 24-month, index-linked charters with “a major commodity trading company”, which will commence when the ships are delivered from China’s New Times Shipbuilding in the first half of 2024.
