Greece's Okeanis Eco Tankers has become the latest owner to fix out a VLCC on a term contract as uncertainty increases in tanker markers.

The Oslo-listed company said it had entered into a time charter with a leading international energy company for either the 319,000-dwt Nissos Anafi (built 2020) or sistership Nissos Kythnos (built 2019) for three years.

There are no extension options, but the ship choice is down to Okeanis.
