Brokers indicate that mid-size Daehan recently secured refund guarantees from its controlling shareholder, Korea Development Bank (KDB), for the two 115,000-dwt, ice-class 1C vessels, which are due for delivery in the first half of next year.
They suggest KDB’s support may help give the yard credibility in future deals.
The price of the two Tier-II vessels was originally reported at around $45.5m
