John Angelicoussis-led Maran Tankers has bumped up its VLCC orderbook to six units after declaring another pair of options at South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
Sources close to the company confirmed that the two units will come out of the owner's favoured yard in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The company had a pair of 319,000-dwt vessels on order at DSME and in January firmed up two more units all of which are slated for 2016 delivery.
