Norway's ADS Crude Carriers has fixed out one of its veteran VLCCs for an eye-catching $69,000 per day over six months.

The 299,000-dwt ADS Page (built 2002) will begin the deal at the start of April following its current spot voyage, the Oslo-listed company said. However, it did not name the charterer.

After this agreement, ADS has booked up 500 vessel days in 2020 — about 45% of its total — at an estimated average of $72,000 per day.
