Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis has upped his order for LNG dual-fuel VLCC newbuildings by inking two ships at China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC).
Shipbuilding sources said the two 307,000-dwt tankers that Marinakis’ Capital Group has ordered are option vessels that the company held at the state-owned shipyard.
In January, Capital struck a newbuilding deal with DSIC for four firm VLCCs plus option for an additional two ships.
