China’s Shanghai Dingheng Shipping is set to splash nearly $100m at Wuhu Xinlian Shipbuilding on an order for one 9,000-dwt and five 6,600-dwt stainless-steel chemical tankers.
A Wuhu Xinlian executive confirmed the deal, adding that the vessels will be equipped with direct electrical propulsion systems. The executive did not disclose the price.
Shanghai-based Dingheng was not available for comment.
The company is scheduled to take delivery of the ships from the end of 2021.
