Greece’s Horizon Tankers has upped its MR orderbook adding two more newbuilds in China.

The Anthony Comninos-led owner has exercised an option for 50，000 dwt chemical/product carriers at Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard， with deliveries set between 2026 and 2027.

The yard has revealed no price， but shipbroking sources suggest $45m per ship. The contract follows four firm newbuildings reported in May this year.

According to shipbuilding databases， excluding this year’s order， Piraeus-based Horizon last booked newbuilds in 2014 when it signed up for a pair of MRs at South Korea’s Sungdong. The company， set up in 2007， currently lists a fleet of four suezmaxes and eight MR2s on its website.
