Turkish owner Yasa Tankers has fixed its first two clean products tankers to Valero at firm rates.
The 49,900-dwt Yasa Hawk and 49,900-dwt Yasa Seagull (both built 2017) were chartered to the refinery major at $15,500 per day for five years.
The rate is an improvement on current levels for medium-range (MR) tankers. Clarksons shows a five-year time-charter rate for MRs of $14,250 per day.
