China’s New Dayang Shipbuilding has stacked its large orderbook with more ultramax bulkers after winning a contract for a series of conventionally fuelled newbuildings.

The Jiangsu-based shipyard signed a four-vessel deal with China Construction Bank Financial Leasing (CCB FL) for two firm 64,000-dwt ships plus two options.

A New Dayang official told TradeWinds his company is scheduled to deliver the two firm vessels from the end of 2026.
