Norway's Klaveness Combination Carriers (KCC) has once again claimed its versatile fleet is beating the conventional tanker and bulker markets hands down.

The Oslo-listed owner said the combination carrier fleet enjoyed a strong end to 2020, with time charter equivalent (TCE) earnings 100% to 200% better than the standard tanker market in the fourth quarter.

Earnings were also almost double those of conventional bulkers, the company added.
