Shipowner Hafnia confirmed on Tuesday its first order for methanol dual-fuel MR tankers with four commissioned from China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI).

The product and chemical tanker owner said three of the 49,800-dwt vessels will be delivered in 2025, with a fourth in 2026. The vessels have been booked against long-term time charters to oil major TotalEnergies.

TradeWinds reported the deal in June, when shipping players suggested the charters would be for at least five years.
