Eastern Pacific Shipping has locked a suezmax into a more than two-year charter with US-based Koch Industries.
European brokers said the Idan Ofer-controlled Singapore shipowner signed a charter deal with US conglomerate Koch for the 164,000-dwt Nobleway (built 2010).
Koch will pay $35,000 per day over the 27-month charter, which equates to total revenue of nearly $38m for Eastern Pacific.
