Three VLCC options held by Norway's Hunter Group at DSME in Korea have just got more expensive.

The yard has agreed to extend the date for a decision on the ships to 28 February, but has increased the price to $93.6m each, from $92m, Hunter said.

The delivery time is unchanged - within the first half of 2021.

Hunter had previously said that it had until 15 January to declare the options.
