Maersk tankers
South Korean shipbuilder Sungdong is rumoured to have won a prestigious 10-vessel new building order from Danish shipping giant Maersk. Marine industry sources are claiming that an order for four 50,000DWT product tankers and two 115,000DWT LR2 tankers were placed at the shipbuilder for delivery in 2015 and 2016. If true, the orders are potentially worth over a hundred million apiece, along with options for two additional vessels for each order. However, the contract has yet to be finalised, with an official from Maersk Tankers stating that the company is considering new building orders for maintaining the reasonable average age of its product carrier fleet. |
