Tor Olav Trøim-backed Himalaya said the company’s five vessels trading on fixed
time charters earned approximately $29,400 per day, gross, including average
daily scrubber benefits.
The Company’s seven vessels trading on index-linked time charters earned approximately $34,500 per day, gross, including average daily scrubber benefits.

The company has 12 LNG-powered Newcastlemax bulk carriers in its fleet.
China’s New Times delivered Himalaya’s final bulk carrier, Mount Emai, in June 2024.
In January, the company entered into a new time charter agreement for the 2023-built bulker Mount Ita for a period of 11 to 14 months.
The vessel started the new time charter in the second half of January following the planned redelivery under its previous charter.
Himalaya secured a new charter deal for the 2024-built bulker Mount Elbrus in December last year.
In addition, the firm converted the index-linked charters to fixed-rate time charters for four of its LNG-powered Newcastlemax bulk carriers during the same month.
