Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping has returned to Hyundai yard grouping’s Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) for six LNG-fuelled containerships, just days after cancelling a similar order at rival South Korean yard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.
TradeWinds understands that the Singapore-based shipping company is behind the order of the 15,000-teu newbuildings disclosed by KSOE this week.
