Transpetrol linked to three-year MR charters with ExxonMobil

Belgian shipowner Transpetrol has locked two of its MR product tankers into three-year charters with a US oil major, according to European brokers.

The 50,383-dwt Luctor (built 2011) and the 50,000-dwt Endurance 4 (built 2020) were said to be fixed to ExxonMobil at about $17,000 per day.

TradeWinds understood that the fixture for the Endurance 4 — to be delivered to ExxonMobil from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) later this year — could have been done in February.
