Tanker owner DHT Holdings Inc ("DHT Holdings" or the "Company") updated its operating progress for the first quarter of 2024.
In the first quarter of this year, DHT's VLCC fleet achieved an average daily TCE of USD 50,900, with an average daily charter rate of USD 39,500 for time-chartered vessels and USD 54,000 for spot market operations.
