An update from Diana Shipping ( (DSX) ) is now available.
On January 12, 2026, Diana Shipping Inc. announced that, via a wholly owned subsidiary, it has entered into a time charter contract with Bunge SA in Geneva for its 2016-built Ultramax dry bulk vessel m/v DSI Altair, securing a gross charter rate of $14,750 per day, less a 5% third-party commission, for a period running at least until January 15, 2027 and up to March 30, 2027, with the charter expected to commence on January 17, 2026. The employment of the 60,309 dwt DSI Altair is projected to generate roughly $5.3 million in gross revenue over the minimum charter term, strengthening revenue visibility for Diana Shipping’s Ultramax segment and underscoring continued demand for its dry bulk fleet as the company maintains a sizeable, diversified portfolio of vessels and advances its fleet renewal plans with upcoming dual-fuel Kamsarmax deliveries.
