Yasa Shipping is the latest in a string of shipping names to move on LR2 tankers with its debut newbuilding deal in the segment, market sources say.
The Turkish company is believed to have struck a deal with two state-owned Chinese shipyards for two 114,000-dwt product carriers each to be delivered in 2026.
A senior executive at Yasa denied the company had ordered LR2 tankers.
