The tanker market had to wait until the second month of 2022 to see its first newbuilding order, according to a top shipbroker.
Recent reports suggested the tanker in question was a 50,000-dwt product carrier ordered at GSI Nansha in southern China by Mitsui OSK Line.
“Never in history has there been less ordering activity during the first two months of the year,” said Affinity (Shipping).
