Odfjell says it sealed a deal to build four stainless steel chemical tankers at $60m a piece.

The Kristan Morch-led firm signed the shipbuilding contracts with China Shipbuilding Trading and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.

The vessels are 49,000-dwt, and with a cargo capacity at 54,600-cbm. Odfjell says they will be the world's largest stainless steel chemical tankers. The first vessel is expected to be delivered in June 2019 and the following vessels with three months intervals.
