Scrubber-fitted crude tankers continue to be fixed at premium rates in the period charter market, with Diamond S Shipping the latest shipowner to benefit from such investments.
The US-based company has chartered out the New Times-built, 157,000-dwt Namsen and Loire (built 2016) to BP for three years at $27,000 per day each, according to some European shipbrokers. Some others claim the rates are higher.
