Expansion-minded Seacon Shipping Group has reportedly returned to CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding to order up to eight 85,000-dwt bulk carriers in the Chinese player’s third newbuilding project.

Several Chinese media outlets reported Qingdao-based Seacon earlier this week signed up for four vessels plus options for four more. They will be the first ships constructed according to the China State Shipbuilding Corp offshoot’s own design.
