Maran Tankers is reported to have chartered two of its newbuilding very large crude carriers to ExxonMobil at a price well above market rate, thanks in part to being scrubber-ready.
Brokers report that two Maran newbuildings set for 2019 delivery have been hired by the oil major at $35,000 per day for three-year time charter.
The three-year time charter rate for similar vessels was last pegged at $24,000 per day.
