An unknown Japanese owner has been linked to a new order of four bulkers at domestic Toyohashi Shipbuilding.

The 39,200-dwt vessels are due to be delivered in July, August, September and October 2020, Clarksons said.

No price has been given for the deal.

Another series of four 38,200-dwt bulkers due in 2019 from the yard is attributed to an unknown domestic owner, according to the broker.
