Sanko Line has turned to Japan’s Tsuneishi Shipbuilding for its first newbuilding order in seven years.
The Tokyo-based shipowner has commissioned an 82,000-dwt bulker for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Sanko disclosed the order for the scrubber-fitted vessel in a single-line statement on its website last week but did not reveal the shipyard, the price or its motivation in placing the contract.
