Shipping Corp of India (SCI) has reportedly opted for Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries to build four VLCCs.

The Chinese yard came in with the lowest bid at $106.7m per ship, giving a total of $426.8m, according to sources cited by the Livemint website.



The 318,000-dwt vessels will come with two options.
