Koch Supply & Trading has reportedly forged a $30.7m deal for an Enesel product tanker that bolsters broker assessments showing that rates for scrubber-fitted LR2s are at a two-year high in the period charter market.
The company, a subsidiary of US conglomerate Koch Industries, has chartered the 115,000-dwt Sparto (built 2020) for three years at $28,000 per day, according to a report by UK-based Seasure Shipbroking.
