Singapore’s Eastern Pacific Shipping, a newcomer to the VLGC segment, plans to order up to six more newbuildings.
The Idan Ofer-controlled company, which already has four VLGC newbuildings on its orderbook, is said to be holding talks with shipyards in South Korea and China for two firm vessels plus options for two pairs of additional ships.
Hyundai Heavy Industries, Jiangnan Shipyard and VLGC shipbuilding newcomer Samsung Heavy Industries are said to be on Eastern Pacific’s list.
