Aegean Shipping Management has struck a long-term charter deal for one of its two aframaxes.

European brokers said the Greek shipowner has chartered out the 112,000-dwt Green Aura (built 2019) to trader Vitol for $16,000 per day.

The Chinese-built ship has been chartered for a year, plus an option for another 12 months.

Aegean and Vitol did not respond to requests for comment.
