Greek shipowner Neda Maritime has logged an attractive charter deal for up to five years on a VLCC newbuilding.
European charter brokers said the 319,000-dwt Ascona (built 2018) was fixed for three years, with an option for two more years.
For the the firm period, the rate is reportedly $34,000 per day, increasing to $36,000 per day for the first optional year and $38,000 per day for the second.
