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).
