Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping has made history as the first shipowner to order ultra-large ethane carrier (ULEC) newbuildings.
The contract for a new breed of ship, first uncovered by TradeWinds this summer, has been signed with China’s Jiangnan Shipyard.
The China State Shipbuilding Corp-controlled shipbuilder disclosed it had struck a deal with Eastern Pacific to build six 150,000-cbm ULECs.
