Two young VLCCs fitted with scrubbers have reportedly been fixed on long-term charters amid thin trading in the period market for tankers.
Brokers said Navigare Capital Partners recently chartered the 297,600-dwt Hudson (built 2017) to Trafigura for 42 months, with the first six months at $21,000 per day and the rest of the charter at $36,000 per day.
