China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC) has confirmed that it secured an order for two VLCC newbuildings from shipowner George Procopiou’s Dynacom Tankers Management.
The state-owned shipyard inked the deal with the Greek shipping company on 14 July.
DSIC did not reveal the price of the 307,000-dwt newbuildings but said the 333-metre-long crude carriers will be built to meet the International Maritime Organization’s NOx Tier III emissions regulations and be fitted with scrubbers to comply with SOx requirements.
