Greece’s Evalend Shipping has lifted its orderbook for product carriers with a fresh order in China.
Multiple shipbroking outfits have named the Kriton Lendoudis-backed diversified owner behind the deal at Yangzijiang Shipbuilding for an MR1 quartet.
The 39,000 dwt units, worth $43m each, will add to the Athens-based company’s similar-sized tankers booked at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in July for delivery by June 2026, as well as 50,000 and 75,000 dwt Yangzijiang series ordered earlier for delivery between 2024 and 2026. The latest Yangzijiang units are scheduled for handover between 2027 and 2028.
Shipbuilding databases list Evalend with more than 30 newbuilding projects, the majority of which are energy carrier vessels set to join the fleet of over 50 ships, with more than half currently being bulk carriers.
