Milan-listed product tanker owner and operator d’Amico International Shipping (DIS) has clinched a new charter deal for one of its MR2 vessels.
The Carlos di Mottola-led company has fixed the unnamed tanker to “a reputable counterparty” for two years, starting between November and December.
The rate was not disclosed, but DIS said it was “very profitable”. In September, the company revealed another two-year MR2 charter deal, which was also described as very profitable.
Following the latest fixture, DIS said it has 39% of its available vessel days fixed at a time charter equivalent rate (TCE) of $27,100 per day for the fourth quarter of this year and 22% fixed at TCE rate of about $25,530 per day for the full year 2025.
“DIS continues to steadily increase its time-charter coverage… The terms of this deal once again highlight the positive outlook for our market and demonstrate the strong interest from our clients in securing long-term agreements at very attractive levels for us,” said DIS chief executive di Mottola.
