STX Offshore & Shipbuilding has won six orders for MR2 newbuildings by Greek players OceanGold and Golden Energy, market sources say.

The news comes just a week after TradeWinds reported that the Korean yard has secured a refund guarantee (RG) for its first orders in 17 months.

Restis tanker company Golden Energy is said to have inked an order for four 50,000-dwt MR2 units at the Korean yard, scheduled for delivery in 2019.
