Eastern Pacific Shipping has increased its order tally for dual-fuelled containership newbuildings.
The Idan Ofer-led company has splashed out about $771m on LNG-powered neo-panamaxes in its latest booking spree.
Shipbuilding players familiar with Singapore-based Eastern Pacific said it is behind an order for six dual-fuelled boxships disclosed by South Korea’s DSME last week.
The deal follows orders at Hyundai Heavy Industries for 17 LNG-fuelled 15,000-teu vessels, taking its total haul of LNG-fuelled containerships to 23.
