Greek bulker owner Diana Shipping has secured employment for two of its vessels expected for redelivery this month.
The New York-listed company has fixed the 2012-built newcastlemax Philadelphia to Cosco-controlled Refined Success until June 2026 at $21,500 per day, with options through to August 8 of the same year.
The 206,040 dwt vessel should start its contract on May 29, after earning 22,500 per day at Japan’s Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK).
The second charter is for the 2013-built post-panamax Phaidra, coming off its contract with Aquavita International at 12,000 per day and moving on to SwissMarine for a dayrate of $9,750.
The 87,146 dwt unit will start its new fixture on May 31 until January 1 next year, but SwissMarine has options to keep the vessel employed until February 28.
Both ships are set to generate about $10m of gross revenue in total, excluding extensions.
Semiramis Paliou-led company counts 37 bulkers in its fleet and two methanol dual fuel kamsarmax newbuilds delivering in 2027 and 2028.
