Spliethoff Group is expanding its fleet with an order for six multipurpose vessels in China.
The Amsterdam-based company has put pen to paper with Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding Co for a sextet of new R-Class 18,000-gt vessels, able to operate in remote areas such as the Arctic.
The Chinese yard will deliver the first newbuilding in January 2019 and the remaining five will follow in two-month intervals.
