Greece's Eastern Mediterranean Maritime (EastMed) has pencilled in an order for aframax product tankers at South Korea's Daehan Shipbuilding.

Newbuilding sources said the Thanassis Martinos-controlled company has signed a letter of intent for two 115,000-dwt LR2s. The deal does not include option vessels.

Available data suggests that these would be EastMed's first newbuildings at Daehan.
