The new bulk carriers will be built by the Group’s Xinfu shipyard and the delivery of the vessels will be by June 2021.
In addition to the shipbuilding orders, CEO Ren Letian updated shareholders on a significant milestone: "On 19 August, we did our first semi-submerged ship launching with our partner, Mitsui, for an 82,000 DWT vessel from our Taicang yard.
"This unique way of launching a vessel uses a floating dock rather than the traditional way of launching a vessel through a slipway or dry dock and with this technology the vessels don’t require to be built only in docks.
"With the first vessel built and launched by us without using a dock, we are scaling up in our capability for building of LNG vessels at our Taicang yard.
"This method of building and launching of vessels also has the advantages of improving shipbuilding efficiency, increasing output without having the limitations of dock capacity, reducing investment costs and enhancing capacity quickly.
