Russian tycoon Vladmir Lisin has continued his fleet expansion with a deal for 15 more tankers.
His Volgo-Balt-Trans and Volgotrans companies will take delivery of the 6,980-dwt carriers in 2012, 2013 and 2014 from his own Okskaya Shipyard in Nizhny Novgorod.
Volgo-Balt-Trans has ordered 10 of the ships. No price has been revealed.
The new river-sea RST27 design has six cargo tanks and two slop tanks and can carry both crude and refined oil products.
