China’s state-owned Chengxi Shipyard has reportedly won orders for up to eight kamsarmax newbuildings — but the deal may trigger discontent among owners.
CSSC Leasing — the leasing arm of China State Shipbuilding Corp — and Minsheng Financial Leasing (MFL) are each said to have ordered two firm, 82,000-dwt vessels at the shipyard, with two options.
The price of the newbuildings has not been disclosed.
