Charter activity for suezmax tankers has picked up in the period market this month, with scrubber-fitted eco tonnage in hot demand amid a weak rate environment.
Brokers reported Sinopec subsidiary Unipec as having fixed the 159,000-dwt Zeus (built 2021) from Samos Steamship of Greece for 12 months at $21,000 per day.
The ship was delivered from Japan Marine United in April.
