Brokers said the unit of state-owned energy company CNOOC has contracted three 2,300-dwt vessels for delivery in March, April and May, 2016.

No price has been disclosed for the 12,000-hp ships.

It is the yard's first order since June, when it won a deal to build two 50,000-dwt heavy deck cargo vessels for United Faith Group.

Clarksons lists the yard as having a new anchor-handler due for delivery this month to CNOOC.
