New York-listed Diana’s 76,200-dwt Melia (built 2005) has been fixed by Rio Tinto for 11 to 13 months at $12,000 daily, the Baltic Exchange reports.
This would mark a marginal pay rise for Diana from the $9,700 daily the vessel has been earning from the same charterer over the past year.
The ship, for which Diana paid $20.7m in 2012, is one of two the companyhas on charter to Rio Tinto.
