Korea's STX Offshore & Shipbuilding has added two additional LR1 orders from BW Pacific of Singapore.

The shipyard said on its website the deal follows a contract for four firm ships last December.

The six vessels are worth KRW 320bn ($286.2m).

STX said they offer reduced fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions.

TradeWinds has previously reported BW was lining up a deal for up to 10 73,800-dwt ships at the yard, including six options.
