South Korean shipyard Samkang M&T has secured an order for four aframax tankers from a Turkish-controlled shipowner.

Shipbuilding sources said the shipowner has signed up for a quartet of 113,000-dwt crude oil tankers at the yard for delivery from the second half of 2020.

No price is disclosed but shipbuilding players said that the shipowner is getting a good deal at about $45m per ship.
