Some Greek owners are fixing out VLCCs on period charters from one to five years amid increased appetite from oil firms for long-term deals, market sources said.
Brokers reported Equinor tentatively chartered the 299,200-dwt Seatriumph (built 2017) from Thenamaris for 12 months at $29,000 per day last week.
If the deal materialises, the scrubber-fitted ship would be delivered in East Asia in mid-December.
