An update from Diana Shipping ( (DSX) ) is now available.
On December 19, 2025, Diana Shipping Inc. announced that, via a wholly owned subsidiary, it has fixed its 2010-built Kamsarmax vessel m/v Myrsini on a new time charter with Paralos Shipping Pte. Ltd. at a gross rate of $13,500 per day, less a 5% commission, for a period running from at least December 20, 2026 to as late as February 20, 2027, with the charter expected to commence on January 1, 2026. The contract, replacing the vessel’s existing charter to Cargill International SA at a slightly lower daily rate, is expected to generate roughly $4.71 million in gross revenue over the minimum period and underscores Diana Shipping’s ongoing strategy of securing medium-term employment for its fleet to stabilise cash flows and support fleet utilisation as it positions for future growth, including the planned addition of two methanol dual-fuel Kamsarmax newbuildings in 2027–2028.
The most recent analyst rating on (DSX) stock is a Hold with a $2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Diana Shipping stock, see the DSX Stock Forecast page.
