Yangzijiang Shipbuilding smashes target with another 21 newbuildings worth $2.6bn
Recent orders encompass containerships, MR tankers and bulk carriers
With these 21 newbuilding orders, Yangzijiang has119 vessels on its orderbook this year, worth $14.3bn
YANGZIJIANG Shipbuilding further boosted its orderbook by securing 21 newbuildings priced at $2.6bn after the release of the third-quarter results in early November.
Among them, there are six LNG dual-fuel 17,000 teu containerships, six methanol dual-fuel 13,000 teu vessels, four 39,000 dwt medium-range tankers, two 4,300 teu containerships and three 45,000 dwt bulk carriers, according the China-based, Singapore-listed shipbuilder.
They are primarily scheduled for deliveries between 2027 and 2029, the company said.
Yangzijiang did not reveal the shipowners linked to the latest orders, but some of them can be identified through previously disclosed orders.
Earlier this week, Maersk revealed that it has ordered a total of 20 boxships equipped with dual-fuel engines from three yards, including the six 17,000 teu units that Yangzijiang listed.
Brokers also reported that the Chinese builder won the order from Navibulgar for the bulker trio.
The addition of 21 newbuilding orders elevated the Chinese shipbuilder’s year to date order wins to 119 new vessels valued at $14.3bn, significantly surpassing its $4.5bn target.
