This is a routine operational update with no financial data — no immediate trading catalyst. Monitor the Q3 2026 earnings release for any cost or revenue impact from the DHT Gazelle upgrade and off-hire period. The charter substitution with DHT Addax suggests minimal earnings disruption, but the lack of disclosed costs limits actionable conclusions.
Price Chart
Executive Summary

DHT Impala delivery is expected in late July 2026, well ahead of the contractual deadline, and DHT Gazelle will return to the shipyard for its upgrade in Q3 2026 after completing current cargo commitments, with DHT Addax substituted to maintain charter continuity. This is a routine operational update with no financial figures disclosed and no material impact on earnings or cash flow.
