Japan’s JX Ocean has returned to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for two more VLGC newbuildings.
This brings the total on order at the Japanese yard to three.
One shipping source said the Yokohama company booked the pair of 83,000-cbm ships a few months ago but the deal was never reported.
According to Clarksons’ Shipping Intelligence Network, JX Ocean is scheduled to take delivery of the latest two gas carriers in the first and fourth quarters of 2020.
