Euronav, one of the world’s largest crude tanker owners, has taken in some vessels on period charters for the first time since 2015.
The Belgian tanker giant fixed the 157,000-dwt Marlin Sardinia and Marlin Somerset (both built 2019) from Trafigura for two years at $25,000 per day, brokers reported.
The charters for the scrubber-fitted, New Times Shipbuilding-built vessels can be extended by another 12 months at $26,500 per day.
