Fukuoka Shipbuilding has emerged as the Japanese builder of Odfjell’s order for two 36,000-dwt chemical tankers it has taken under a long-term charter agreement.

A Japanese owner from the island of Shikoku has placed the order backed by the Odfjell charter deal.

No price has been disclosed for the fully stainless-steel ships, which will be delivered in 2019 and 2020.
