Diana Shipping ( (DSX) ) has provided an update.
On January 8, 2026, Diana Shipping Inc. announced that, through a wholly owned subsidiary, it has agreed a direct continuation of the time charter for its 2009-built Kamsarmax dry bulk vessel m/v Maia with Paralos Shipping Pte. Ltd. at a gross rate of US$14,000 per day, up from the previous US$11,600, for a period running from an expected start date of January 13, 2026 until at least July 5, 2027 and up to September 5, 2027. The new charter for Maia, an 82,193 dwt vessel, is expected to generate approximately US$7.45 million in gross revenue over the minimum period, reinforcing Diana Shipping’s contracted revenue visibility and supporting cash flow stability amid volatile dry bulk markets, while also underscoring the commercial utilization of its Kamsarmax segment as the company simultaneously pursues fleet renewal through upcoming dual-fuel vessel deliveries.
