Formosa Plastics Marine Corp has doubled its order of MR tanker newbuildings in China.
Shipbuilding players say the Taiwanese shipowner has added three more 52,000-dwt IMO-type 2/3 product and chemical tankers at CSSC Offshore & Marine Engineering (CSSC OME), bringing the total order at the yard previously known as Guangzhou Shipyard International to six.
The company’s earlier three newbuildings were ordered in March and are due for delivery between the second and third quarters of 2019.
