Norway’s Gram Car Carriers (GCC) has fixed two car carriers at rates that indicate the red-hot sector is showing no signs of slowing down.

The mid-size 4,300-ceu Viking Diamond (built 2011) and 4,200-teu Viking Ocean (built 2012) have been chartered out over five years to an unnamed major operator.

The tapered rates begin at $50,000 per day in the first 12 months, ending up at $20,000 in the final year and averaging out at $35,000 per day.
