Eastern Pacific Shipping is to add suezmax tankers to its growing fleet as its appetite for newbuildings continues unabated.

The Singapore-based outfit is said to be in discussions for a pair of 158,000-dwt crude oil tankers at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS).

A shipping source familiar with the deal said Eastern Pacific has been offered delivery dates of late 2021 and early 2022.
