Low profile Chinese owner Zhoulian Shipping has booked up to four Kamsarmax bulk carriers for construction at Yangzhou Wanlong Shipbuilding.
The order covers two firm 82,000 dwt vessels for delivery in the third quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, with options attached for two additional newbuilds.
No price was reported, but shipbrokers are quoting Kamsarmax newbuilds up to 83,000 dwt at around $35.7m per unit at Chinese yards.
