Greece’s Dynacom Tankers has swelled its suezmax orderbook at China’s New Times Shipbuilding.
Newbuilding sources report that George Procopiou’s company has signed up for two 159,000 dwt vessels, adding to previously booked 10 newbuilds at the privately owned shipyard in late 2023 and early 2024.
The Athens-based outfit has a massive orderbook of crude and product carriers spread across multiple shipyards in China, but four suezmax newbuilding slots were also secured at South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries in October last year for delivery in 2027.
The latest duo at the Jiangsu-based builder is priced at $80m each, with delivery expected in 2028.
