KSS Line has made its debut in the MR tanker sector by ordering a single newbuilding at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD).

The South Korean gas carrier and chemical tanker owner has commissioned HMD to construct a methanol-powered, 50,000-dwt product tanker for delivery in 2022, according to market sources. However, it is unclear whether the contract includes options for any additional vessels.
