Scorpio Tankers Secures Long-Term Charters for Two LR2 Tankers
Summary
Scorpio Tankers Inc. has secured significant long-term time charters for two LR2 tankers: the STI Lombard for five years at $33,000/day and the STI Rambla for eight years at $30,500/day, both commencing in 2026. This new information provides substantial revenue visibility and operational stability for the company's future earnings. The headline also notes the completion of the sale of two 2015-built MR product tankers for $35 million each, totaling $70 million, which was previously reported by Dow Jones Newswires earlier today. While the asset sale generates capital, the new charter agreements are a material positive development, securing long-term employment for a portion of its fleet. Traders will be watching for further details on how the capital from the sales will be deployed and the impact of these charters on future guidance.
