Chevron has reportedly taken three suezmax tankers on short period fixtures as demand uncertainty continues to curb appetite for long-term charters.

Market sources said the US oil major fixed Sovcomflot’s 163,500-dwt Aleksey Kosygin (built 2007), a coated tanker recently involved in shipping crude.

The company also booked Eastern Pacific Shipping’s 157,800-dwt Diamondway (built 2016) earlier this month.
