SK Shipping continues to strengthen its ties with the Marinakis company Curzon Maritime, which has taken a third VLCC from the South Korean owner.

The 314,000-dwt C Challenger (built 2013) has been fixed for 24 months at $30,500 per day, in line with recently concluded deals.

Last month, SK fixed out the 314,000-dwt C Spirit (built 2013) and C Innovator (built 2012) for the same period to Curzon at $30,000 per day in a deal that included options for another year.
