The charters show a host of fresh deals and extended contracts.

Farstad says Pertobras has prolonged its hire of the 19,200-bhp Far Santana (built 2000) for four years.

Another two anchor-handlers – the 14,700-bhp Far Stream and Far Sword (both built 2006) – have been taken by Inpex for a firm 40 month period.

In a statement to investors, Farsatd said the charterer also has options on the two vessels running for a further 24 months.
