Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping has secured one-year charters for two of its aframax tankers as spot rates remain weak amid listless trading.
The Singapore-based owner recently fixed the 105,000-dwt Nectar Sea (built 2008) and Serene Sea (built 2009) to Aramco Trading for 12 months at $19,000 per day, brokers reported.
The trading arm of oil giant Saudi Aramco is due to take delivery of the scrubber-fitted ships in China this month.
