KNOT Offshore Partners played down the potential impact of the growing shuttle tanker newbuilding orderbook, as it reported first-quarter results on Wednesday.
The company said it was aware that up to six newbuildings had been placed recently, for delivery between 2026 and 2027.
Sponsor Knutsen NYK has ordered three new shuttle tankers to be chartered to Petrobras, while TradeWinds has reported that Greek owners Maran Tankers and Tsakos have been linked to orders.
