Taiwan’s China Steel Express (CSE) has returned to CSBC Corp for more bulker newbuildings.
The marine transport arm of China Steel Corp has booked a pair of 208,000-dwt ships at the domestic yard, bringing the total number of newcastlemaxes it has under construction there to four. CSE’s two earlier newbuildings were ordered last summer.
A CSE official confirms that the company has booked its third and fourth vessels at CSBC, saying the newbuildings are part of its fleet renewal and expansion programme.
