South Korea’s H-Line Shipping is reportedly considering an order for LNG-fuelled capesize newbuildings.

Local shipping sources said H-Line has entered discussions with Hyundai Heavy Industries for two 180,000-dwt bulkers.

They added that HHI company Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries will build the ships and is aiming to deliver them in the second half of 2020.

H-Line is ordering the newbuildings on the back of employment from domestic steelmaker Posco.
