New York-listed tanker owner DHT Holdings has secured another high-paying long-term charter, fixing one of its oldest VLCCs at a rate above $100,000 per day. The Svein Moxnes Harfjeld-led company has sealed a one-year charter deal for the 2011-built DHT Redwood at $105,000 per day. The contract is set to kick off in March 2026 and has been concluded with an undisclosed global energy major. The fixture adds to a string of record-setting deals emerging in the resurgent VLCC market, where owners are locking in premium returns on period business. The latest charter follows two earlier deals for the 2012-built VLCCs DHT Opal and DHT Taiga, fixed at $90,000 and $94,000 per day, respectively. The agreement also backs up broker reports that several VLCCs have recently been discussed for 12-month employment at rates above $100,000 per day. DHT has recently been trimming older tonnage, with two 2007-built vessels already agreed for sale and expected to leave the fleet shortly. The HD Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries-built DHT Redwood is currently the second-oldest vessel in the DHT fleet on a fully-delivered basis, behind its sister ship DHT Amazon, also delivered in 2011. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsNorway
