Family-owned Finnish company Langh Ship is updating its vessel portfolio with a new order in China.

The shipowner said three new ice-class 1A multipurpose (MPP) units have been contracted at Wuhu Shipyard in China.

No price has been given for the vessels, but UK shipbroker Clarksons said they have a capacity of 7,800 dwt.

The first MPP is due in the middle of 2023, with the other two following at short intervals.
