D’Amico International Shipping (DIS) will emphasise rewarding shareholders, the product tanker player and operator said on Thursday after another robust set of quarterly results.

Chief executive Paolo d’Amico, who heads a fleet of 36 owned or operated product tankers, from handies LR1s, told TradeWinds: “Before, deleveraging was the number one priority. Now, we think that the dividend will be stronger.”
