London-Greek owners Filippos and Andonis Lemos are making a big push to grow their Enesel product tanker fleet, with its first order at a Chinese yard.

The order, which is for up to three vessels worth nearly $150m in total, is the second tanker deal for the company this year.

State-owned Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) will construct two firm 114,000-dwt LR2 tankers to be delivered in June and September 2023, shipping sources said.
