Japan’s Lepta Shipping has returned to Yangzijiang Shipbuilding for another pair of kamsarmax bulker newbuildings.

Lepta, a joint venture between Nissen Kaiun and trading house Mitsui & Co, has struck a deal with the Singapore-listed yard for two 82,500-dwt vessels.

Some sources claim that Lepta inked the contract some time ago, but the news of the deal has only now emerged in the market.
