Japan’s Imabari Shipbuilding has won an order for a total of four 310,000-dwt VLCC newbuildings from Greek shipowner Navios.
The deal represents the first time Imabari has won an order for a VLCC newbuilding from a non-Japanese client.
In June TradeWinds reported Navios Maritime Group, headed by Angeliki Frangou, had signed a letter of intent for two VLCCs at the yard.
