Diversified Eastern Pacific Shipping has deviated from its normal practice of ordering new ships by chartering two chemical tanker newbuildings from a Chinese leasing company.
The Idan Ofer-controlled company which has ordered over 100 newbuildings during the last three years, has bareboat chartered two 25,000-dwt chemical tanker newbuildings from AVIC International Leasing.
Officials at Eastern Pacific declined to comment on the charter deal when contacted.
