The 50,000-dwt ice-class 1A Prisco Irina (built 2009) is said to have been taken at $15,250 per day, slightly less than the $15,500 per day that Oslo broker Fearnleys suggests as the one-year rate for medium-range (MR) tankers.

The Prisco Irina is one of several tankers Prisco ordered at a high price prior to 2010.
