John Angelicoussis-led Maran Tankers has jumped on the suezmax ordering bandwagon, successfully completing negotiations for four newbuildings at DSME’s facility in Romania.

The 158,000-dwt units have been booked at Daewoo-Mangalia Heavy Industries on the Black Sea at a price of $64m each for delivery in 2017, according to a market source. The deal, which includes options for two additional vessels, is said to be certain even though it has yet to be signed.
