Highlights
Charter revenue from spot voyages remained significantly focused on the petrochemical sector, with the transportation of petrochemicals accounting for 96% of our spot revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Typically, the summer months offer fewer opportunities in the LPG freight markets as was the case during the summer of 2017, which reflect a continuing lack of LPG and petrochemical arbitrage between producing and consuming areas. Our charter rates achieved during the quarter reflect a premium to those available to the general market as a result of our strategic positioning of seeking a mixed portfolio of customers and charter durations across the gas spectrum of LPG, petrochemicals and ammonia.
We delivered our first 38,000 cbm fully-refrigerated ammonia carrier to our partner, Office Cherifien des Phosphates ("OCP") on August 22, 2017, commencing a ten year time charter facilitating the transportation of ammonia from Europe and the U.S. to Morocco. We are also now discussing charter and contract of affreightment renewals with a number of charterers for at least eight vessels with contracts maturing over the coming months.
