With the ink barely dry on a 10-ship order by BW Pacific last week, STX Offshore & Shipbuilding is set to secure another big newbuilding deal worth around $370m from a Middle East buyer.
Industry sources say Oman Shipping has signed a letter of intent for up to eight 74,000-dwt, wide-beam products tankers for delivery from late 2016 into 2017. The deal covers four firm ships, plus four options.
