The contracts with an average length of around five years are index linked to the Baltic Capesize 4T/C Index plus a pre-agreed premium.
“Knightsbridge has an option to convert the floating rate into a fixed rate at any time and for any duration at a price to be agreed reflecting the market at the time,” the company said.
