DHT Holdings has taken delivery of the Tier III-compliant VLCC newbuilding DHT Antelope, the first of four fully funded vessels scheduled to join its fleet in 2026. The delivery highlights the company's fleet renewal aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and service offerings. The addition of DHT Antelope modestly reinforces the near-term catalyst around modern fleet earnings potential, while key risks such as dividend-funded flexibility and spot-rate volatility remain unchanged.
