Two lucrative charters scooped by Gram Car Carriers (GCC) could open up bigger dividend potential for shareholders, analysts believe.

The Oslo-listed owner fixed out its mid-size 4,300-ceu Viking Diamond (built 2011) and 4,200-teu Viking Ocean (built 2012) 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.
