Diana gets above-market fixture on capesize to Pacbulk Diana Shipping has fixed a third vessel on charter to an Asian shipping company in the past two weeks, the latest being a capesize at a rate that beats the market average. The Simeon Palios-led bulker owner has entered into a time charter contract with Singapore's Pacbulk Shipping for 179,426-dwt Santa Barbara (built 2015).

Avance Gas profit soars but comes in below expectations The John Fredriksen-controlled LPG carrier owner has ordered the two 91,000-cbm newbuildings at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME).

European and US brokers said the Victor Restis-controlled shipowner has purchased the 178,000-dwt Gotia (built 2012) from German owner Orion Bulkers. The Greek company paid just $23m, the sources said.
