Hengli Heavy Industry has landed its first newbuilding contract from a third-party company.
The Chinese yard — the former STX Dalian Shipbuilding — has signed a contract with domestic owner Fortune Ocean Shipping for four kamsarmax bulkers.
Several sources said Fortune Ocean is the first company to order newbuildings at the Dalian-based yard since it made a comeback to the shipbuilding business at the end of last year.
