DHT Holdings, Inc. has announced proactive design upgrades for two newbuild Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) delivering from Hyundai this year to ensure optimal trading eligibility and enhance commercial flexibility. The company detailed the implementation schedule for DHT Impala and DHT Gazelle, while confirming that other recent deliveries from Hanwha do not require modifications.

Fleet Upgrade Schedule

DHT Impala is now expected to deliver in late July 2026 with the design upgrade fully integrated, moving well ahead of the original contractual deadline of December 2026. DHT Gazelle, which delivered in March 2026, will complete its current cargo commitments before returning to the shipyard for the planned upgrade in the third quarter of 2026. To maintain uninterrupted service under its long-term time charter, DHT will substitute DHT Gazelle with DHT Addax, which was also delivered in March 2026.

Unaffected Vessels

The company clarified that its newbuildings delivered from Hanwha in January and March 2026, DHT Antelope and DHT Addax, are not affected by these upgrades. Additionally, DHT Oryx, scheduled for delivery in August 2028, requires no modifications. DHT emphasized its commitment to maintaining high operational standards and fleet flexibility through these initiatives.
