2020 Bulkers has converted and extended the index-linked time charters for Bulk Shanghai and Bulk Seoul to fixed rate charters from February 10, 2023, until September 30, 2023, at a rate of US$22,850, gross, including scrubber benefit.
Following the fixed rate charter periods, both time charters have been extended with 6 months index-linked charters reflecting a significant premium to a standard Capesize vessel, as well as an additional premium related to the fuel cost saving from the scrubbers.
From February 19 until March 31, 2023, 2020 Bulkers has seven vessels fixed at an average rate of US$18,963, gross, and will additionally earn a floating scrubber benefit for one vessel.
