DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DHT) took delivery of the DHT Gazelle, a very large crude carrier newbuilding from Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, according to a company statement. The vessel represents the third in a series of four deliveries scheduled for the first half of 2026.

The DHT Gazelle will begin a five- to seven-year time charter contract with a major oil company. The company did not identify the charterer.

DHT also delivered the DHT China, built in 2007, to new owners as part of its fleet renewal program. The company expects its fourth newbuilding in the Antilope-class series in June 2026, which will coincide with the sale and delivery of the DHT Bauhinia, also built in 2007.

The Hamilton, Bermuda-based company operates crude oil tankers in the VLCC segment and trades internationally. DHT maintains integrated management companies in Monaco, Norway, Singapore, and India.

The information is based on a company press release.
