Norway’s Grieg Maritime Group has exercised options for two ammonia-ready 82,300-dwt open hatch bulk carrier newbuildings in China.

The two bulkers will be built at CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Longxue and are scheduled to be delivered in 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The options were attached to a newbuilding contract placed in May 2023 for two firm newbuildings plus two options.
