Evalend Shipping is lifting its presence in the gas sector by ordering two LPG carrier newbuildings.

And the company is in talks with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) for even more vessels to trade alongside its existing pair of 38,000-cbm ships.

The Athens-based company has signed a deal with HMD to deliver two 40,000-cbm newbuildings in late 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.
