US-listed Navios Maritime Acquisition and Italy’s Perseveranza di Navigazione are to receive a boost to their earnings on MR product tankers after securing year-long period charters at improved rates.

Norden of Denmark has extended the charter from Navios of the 47,000-dwt Nave Dorado (built 2005) for another year at $13,500 per day, with an option for a second year at the same rate.
