Performance Shipping ( (PSHG) ) just unveiled an update.

On April 16, 2026, Athens-based Performance Shipping Inc. announced it has signed long-term time charter agreements with Repsol Trading S.A. for two 158,000 dwt Suezmax tanker newbuildings under construction in China. The vessels, fitted with scrubbers and designed to be fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, are scheduled for delivery in October 2028 and May 2029 and will begin their respective charters upon delivery.

The first tanker has been fixed for seven years at a daily hire rate of $35,000, while the second will trade for five years at $36,850 per day, both payable monthly in advance. These contracts are expected to cover the majority of the vessels’ acquisition cost and lift Performance Shipping’s total contracted fleetwide revenue to about $471 million, extending average contract duration to 2.8 years and securing a high percentage of chartered days through 2030, which enhances earnings visibility and reduces breakeven charter-rate requirements for remaining open days.

The most recent analyst rating on (PSHG) stock is a Buy with a $6.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Performance Shipping stock, see the PSHG Stock Forecast page.
