Soki has commissioned Imabari Shipbuilding to construct an ultramax and a handysize bulk carrier. The company, based in Imabari city in Ehime prefecture, has selected engines that will use conventional marine fuels for both vessels.
Speaking to TradeWinds, Soki Kisen’s president Yosuke Kawakami said his company will take delivery of the 64,000-dwt ultramax in 2025 and the smaller vessel in 2027.
