Vitol has reportedly emerged as the charterer of a second suezmax newbuilding from Nordic American Tankers (NAT).
Brokers report that the 157,000-dwt Nordic Cygnus has been fixed to the commodities trader at $21,000 per day for three years, with an option to extend the charter by one year and a second option to lengthen it by another 12 months.
In June, TradeWinds reported that the first vessel — the Nordic Aquarius — had been fixed out to Equinor for three to five years, also at $21,000 per day.
