Himalaya Shipping announced that it has taken delivery of the fifth of the twelve 210,000 dwt Newcastlemax dual fuel new buildings from New Times Shipyard.
In particular, the vessel “Mount Matterhorn” will commence a 32-to-38-month time charter plus an option for 11 to 13 months and will earn an index-linked rate, reflecting a significant premium to a standard Capesize vessel.
According to the company, the time charter also includes a profit sharing of any economic benefit derived from operating the vessel´s scrubber or running on LNG, as well as certain rights to convert the time charter to fixed rate based on the prevailing forward freight agreement (FFA) curve from time to time.
The shipyard has again delivered a high-quality vessel slightly ahead of schedule. Mount Matterhorn will add another state-of-the-art vessel to the youngest dry bulk fleet on the water today.
..said Herman Billung, contracted CEO of Himalaya Shipping.
The Himalaya ships, which can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 43%1, are prepared to meet and benefit from more environmental regulations coming into force.
