Bermudian-based tanker operator DHT Holdings generated time charter equivalent second-quarter earnings of $126,700 per day for each of the company’s vessels, which are all in the very large crude carrier class.

The company estimated TCE earnings of $162,600 per day for the VLCCs operating in the spot market and $90,800 per day for the its VLCCs on time charter.

These estimated TCE earnings are based on 2,012 revenue days during the quarter, of which 1,007 days were spot days.

Thus far in the third quarter of 2026, approximately 48 per cent of the available spot days have been booked at an average rate of $139,700 per day on a discharge-to-discharge basis, DHT said.

In total, 74 per cent of the available revenue days, including both spot and time-charter days, have been booked at an average rate of $94,300 per day, the company added.

In July, DHT entered into a three-year time charter agreement at $75,000 per day for the DHT Jaguar, built in 2015. The contract is expected to start in September 2026 and has been concluded with a global energy company.
