DSME’s recent spate of large crude tanker newbuildings has pushed the order backlog for VLCCs to 100 ships, latest data shows.
Last week the South Korean shipbuilder picked up a total of five VLCC newbuilding orders from two unnamed counterparties.
DSME has the largest VLCC newbuilding orderbook with 22 ships under various stages of construction, according to Clarksons Research Services.
