Dutch multipurpose operator Symphony Shipping has revived an order for two newbuildings with a European yard.

The company has placed an order for two 12,500-dwt open-top multipurpose (MPP) tweendeckers at the Ferus Smit shipyard in northern Germany.

The ice-class 1A ships are slated for delivery at the end of 2022 and early 2023.

They are costing around €21m ($25m) en bloc, according to brokers' estimates.
