More details of Trafigura’s chartering spree this month have emerged as the trading giant dropped its term fixture of a Greek-managed VLCC.
Market sources earlier reported that Enesel tentatively chartered the scrubber-fitted, 319,000-dwt Agios Nikolas (built 2019) to Trafigura for 12 to 15 months at $34,200 per day.
The deal emerged as brokers said the prevailing rate for a one-year contract for an eco VLCC is about $36,000 per day.
