One of the world’s largest dry bulk operators, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), has started ordering handymax bulk carriers again after refraining from investment for the past two years.
The Tokyo based owner/operator has secured slots for three 52,000-dwt bulkers at Oshima Shipbuilding with delivery dates in 2021.
Clarksons has the order as 56,000-dwt vessels handing over in 2020, however.
MOL confirmed the order at Oshima to TradeWinds, but said it could not go into details.
