At least three suezmax tankers have been fixed for storage work this week.
Russian oil company Rosneft has secured two units, including the 160,000-dwt Cap Diamant (built 2001), for six months, with options for six more months, at a rate slightly above $20,000 per day.
In a slightly more surprising deal, Rosneft is also said to have taken a 16-year-old suezmax from Greek owner Maran Tankers.
