The greenfield CSSC Guangxi Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering yard in China has won its first order.
Brokers report domestic owner Hainan Zhaogang Marine as contracting a 5,000-cbm LPG carrier at the yard.
Delivery will be in 2020, but no price was given.
The owner has two 2,500-cbm LPGCs built in 2007 and 2011, and a 1,606-cbm veteran built in 1979.
