Centrofin has secured a six-month charter for an LR2 product tanker at a strong rate, benefiting from record spot earnings in the red-hot segment, according to market sources.

The Greek shipowner chartered the 105,700-dwt Namrata (built 2008) to Gunvor Group's Clearlake Shipping at more than $53,000 per day, one of the highest rates achieved for similar deals in recent years.
