UK tanker owner James Fisher has ordered up to four dual-fuelled product and chemical tanker newbuildings in China.
Shipbuilding sources said the London-listed shipowner struck a deal with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Yangzhou (CMJL Yangzhou) for two firm, LNG dual-fuel, 6,000-dwt tanker newbuildings. The contract includes options for two additional vessels.
The order is understood to be part of the company’s fleet-renewal programme.
