The US airline’s refining unit Monroe Energy LLC has fixed the 46,000-dwt Seabulk Arctic (built 1998) for two years starting in August.
A Delta spokesman confirmed the charter to Reuters, but provided no further details such as the charter rate.
Monroe is reported to be paying upward of $80,000 per day for the Seabulk Arctic, according to Reuters.
Reports say Monroe has an option to switch to a newbuilding tanker in 2016 for an additional three years.
