Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has added another dual-fuel LPG carrier newbuilding to its growing fleet.
The Idan Ofer-controlled company has exercised an option for a 40,000-cbm gas carrier at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD), bringing its orderbook there to four.
Officials at EPS and HMD declined to comment on the deal.
Shipbuilding sources said they believe the Singapore shipowner’s latest LPG newbuilding represents an option that it locked in at HMD in May when it signed up for three gas carriers there.
