Greek shipowner George Economou ended 2022 with an order for a series of suezmax tanker newbuildings at New Times Shipbuilding in China.
According to shipbuilding sources, Economou’s TMS Tankers booked four 157,000-dwt crude carriers at the privately owned shipyard. The deal did not include any options.
A New Times executive declined to comment on the deal but confirmed that a European owner ordered a few suezmaxes last month.
