US owner Otto Candies has lost a charter deal in Brazil.

Broker Westshore said state oil company Petrobras scrapped a long-term contract for the 1,800-dwt platform supply vessel (PSV) Olivia Candies (built 2008).

It is now available for charter again, subject to clearance, the broker added.

But the owner's 1,600-dwt Keri Candies (built 2006) and Amy Candies (built 2003) have had their contracts extended until February 2017 by Petrobras.
