Greek tanker owner Performance Shipping has fixed two newly acquired 2019-built suezmaxes to Repsol Trading on three-year time charters, adding fresh employment stability and expanding its list of blue-chip customers.The 157,000 dwt<em> P Bel Air</em> and <em>P Beverly Hills</em>, both built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in South Korea, will deliver to Performance Shipping between December 2025 and January 2026. Each vessel will earn $36,500 per day for a firm period of three years, generating roughly $78m in gross revenue.&ldquo;This agreement marks our first business engagement with Repsol and reflects the market’s confidence in our operational standards,&rdquo; said Andreas Michalopoulos, Performance Shipping’s chief executive. &ldquo;The vessels’ modern, fuel-efficient design and scrubber-fitted features helped secure long-term employment at strong rates.&rdquo;The Nasdaq-listed company said the deal would cover more than half of the vessels’ combined acquisition cost and lift fleetwide contracted revenue to around $335m, with charter coverage at 70% for 2026 and 57% for 2027.Performance bought the two eco-design suezmaxes from Navigare Capital Partners in October for $75.4m each, marking its entry into the midsize crude carrier segment.
