Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Diana Shipping extended the time charter of its 98,697 dwt Post-Panamax vessel m/v Amphitrite with Cobelfret S.A. The new charter commences on February 8, 2026, and runs until at least March 1, 2027, with an option to extend through April 30, 2027. The contract affords a gross rate of US$13,000 per day for the first 30 days and US$16,500 per day thereafter, each net of a 5% broker commission. The extension is expected to generate approximately US$6.15 million of gross revenue over the minimum charter period.

In a January corporate presentation, Diana Shipping disclosed that during the first nine months of 2025 it repurchased nearly 11.5 million shares for US$22.9 million, sold two vessels for about US$23.7 million and drew US$55 million under a term loan secured by five ships. The company reported a fleet of 36 dry bulk vessels with average age of 12.17 years and 99.5% utilization, carrying capacity above 4.0 million dwt, plus two dual-fuel Kamsarmax newbuilds due by early 2028. Management also revealed a 14.8% stake in Genco Shipping & Trading Limited and a US$20.60 per share all-cash proposal to acquire the remainder of Genco, supported by US$1.1 billion in committed bank financing. On sustainability, Diana Shipping has improved fleet efficiency by nearly 15% through speed optimization, biofuel trials and hull-coating upgrades, and plans to deploy two methanol-dual fuel vessels and phase out older tonnage to meet evolving decarbonization standards.
