ExxonMobil is said to have fixed a VLCC newbuilding of the Livanos group on a long-term time charter.

The US oil major will employ the 301,500-dwt Lita (built 2018) for seven years at $31,000 per day, European and Greek brokers reported.

S Livanos company Sun Enterprises took delivery of the vessel from Japan Marine United (JMU) a few weeks ago.
