Japanese shipping giant Mitsui OSK Lines has ordered five large, LNG dual-fuelled bulk carrier newbuildings as part of its fleet growth.
MOL said it had struck a deal with domestic shipbuilder Nihon Shipyard — a joint venture between Imabari Shipbuilding and Japan Marine United — for two 209,000-dwt units.
It has also commissioned China’s state-owned CSSC Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding to construct three 210,000-dwt vessels.
