Italian product tanker owner and operator d’Amico International Shipping (DIS) secured employment for five of its vessels.
The Milan-listed company’s Irish-based d’Amico Tankers has fixed four handysize vessels through new deals and extended the charter of one of its MRs.
The charterers and financial terms were not disclosed, but DIS said deals had been struck with “reputable counterparties at highly profitable rates”.
“The attractive rates we secured reaffirm the positive market outlook for our industry,” said DIS chief executive Carlos di Mottola.
Following the latest fixtures, the company has 35% of its available vessel days fixed at a time charter equivalent rate (TCE) of $24,914 per day for the full year 2025 and 16% fixed at TCE rate of about $25,013 per day for 2026.
d’Amico’s fleet stands at 33 product carriers, of which 27 are owned. The company also has four LR1 newbuildings lined up at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding with delivery expected in 2027.
