Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings has returned to New Dayang Shipbuilding for more ultramax newbuildings.

The Hong Kong owner has contracted the Chinese shipyard to build two more 64,000-dwt bulkers, lifting its tally there to four, following the two ships it ordered in April.

Wah Kwong managing director Captain J F Zhou confirmed the latest order, which is part of the company’s fleet replacement and expansion programme.
