Greek shipowner Evangelos Pistiolis has added a medium-range (MR) products tanker newbuilding to the fleet of private company Central Shipping Monaco.

The vessel comes via the firming up of an optional slot held by Pistiolis involving a contract signed last year at Hyundai-­Vinashin Shipyard.

Pistiolis confirms the exercised option, which takes Central Shipping’s fleet to three Vinashin vessels.

Pistiolis declines to disclose a price.
