Dubai's Tomini Shipping is returning to China's CIC (Jiangsu) shipyard for new bulkers.
The company has ordered three 64,000-dwt ultramaxes, brokers said.
Two vessels are due in 2019 and one in 2020.
Tomini has 10 ships on the water, including four built by CIC.
Another three ultramaxes from the yard are due this year and in 2018.
Tomini was established in 1952 by trader Mian Kader Baksh, who was succeeded by his sons.
