China’s Shandong Shipping has signed up for two more kamsarmax bulkers in a second newbuildings deal with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC).

The order for the 85,000-dwt bulk carriers means the Chinese shipping company now has four vessels booked at the subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corp.

Shipbuilding sources familiar with the deal said that, like the earlier two newbuildings, DSIC subsidiary Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry will construct the vessels.
