Greek bulker owner Diana Shipping has entered into a time charter contract with SwissMarine for one of its capesize vessels.
Stone Shipping hired the 2010-built, 177,773 dwt bulker New York. The gross charter rate is $17,600 per day, minus a 5% commission paid to third parties, for a period until a minimum of January 15, 2026, up to a maximum of March 30, 2026.
The charter began on January 12. The employment of the bulker is anticipated to generate approximately $6.03m of gross revenue for the minimum scheduled period of the time charter.
Diana Shipping’s fleet consists of 38 dry bulk vessels – four newcastlemaxes, eight capesizes, five post-panamaxes, six kamsarmaxes, six panamaxes, and nine ultramaxes.
The company also expects to take delivery of two methanol dual fuel new-building kamsarmax dry bulk vessels by the second half of 2027 and the first half of 2028, respectively.
Currently, the combined carrying capacity of the fleet excluding the two vessels not yet delivered, is approximately 4.2m dwt with a weighted average age of 11.28 years.
