Trafigura is continuing to grow its MR tanker newbuilding tally, this time with an order for another three vessels to be built by South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD).

The commodities giant has confirmed that it is behind an order for three MR product carrier newbuildings at the yard.

The three 50,000-dwt vessels would bring the company’s orderbook at HMD to 15.
