Scorpio Bulkers has tied up a newly delivered kamsarmax on a period charter.

The New York-listed company said that it chartered out the 81,600-dwt SBI Zumba (built 2016) for $10,500 per day.

Scorpio will keep its vessel busy for five to seven months, while the earliest redelivery date has been set for April 2017.

This latest deal marks an improvement from the company’s latest kamsarmax charter, which was agreed on a daily rate of $9,000 in late November.
