Chinese bulker owner and operator EGPN Bulk Carrier is ramping up investment in the tanker segment.
The company has ordered two more 18,500-dwt chemical tankers at China’s Wuhu Shipyard, adding to the six previous ordered there last year.
The chemical tankers will be built to comply with Phase 3 of the International Maritime Organization’s Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index standards and Tier II NOx rules.
