Rapidly expanding Greek owner Lomar is betting on brighter prospects for the containership market by concluding an order of up to four newbuildings in China and buying four more secondhand vessels.
Company sources say the shipmanagement arm of the Libra group has inked an order for wide-beam, 2,700-teu newbuildings with China’s Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.
It is understood the order involves two firm vessels, plus two options.
