Taiwan’s Chinese Maritime Transport (CMT) has returned to China State Shipbuilding Corporation’s Qingdao Beihai yard with an order for two newcastlemax bulk carriers.The Taipei-listed owner confirmed it will pay between $76m and $79.8m per 210,000 dwt vessel. Deliveries have not yet been disclosed.The order builds on CMT’s ongoing newbuilding push, which already includes four newcastlemaxes at CSBC Corporation in Taiwan, contracted at around $77.5m apiece for handover in 2026 and 2027.CMT, which controls its 12-strong bulk carrier fleet through subsidiaries in Singapore and Hong Kong, has a long relationship with Qingdao Beihai. The company has previously ordered six newcastlemaxes at the yard, including the 2024-built <em>China Vista</em> (pictured).The latest pair will feature the yard’s fifth-generation design developed by the China Ship Design & Research Center. Each ship will measure 300 m in length with a 50 m beam.
