In January 2015, Knightsbridge entered into an agreement with RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of RWE AG (a major European energy company), for chartering out a total of 15 Capesize vessels on long term, index-linked contracts. The vessels are expected to be delivered over the next five quarters starting in the first quarter 2015.
