Azerbaijan's national owner Caspian Shipping Company (CSC) has ordered two tankers at the domestic Baku Shipyard.

The 8,000-dwt chemical/products carriers are due in 2018, brokers said. No price has been revealed.

The only tanker listed in CSC’s fleet is a 13,000-dwt ship built in Russia in 2006.

The deal follows its order at the shipyard last month for two new ro-paxes.

The price for these was estimated at AZN 132m ($80.6m).
