The week in newbuildings: Tankers provide majority of activity
- Newbuilding contracts for 21 ships across the containership, dry cargo, gas carrier and tanker sectors were confirmed in the past week
- They included an order confirmed by Oslo-listed Bruton, which signed firm contracts with China’s CIMC Raffles Offshore for four scrubber-fitted VLCCs
The crude oil tanker sector dominated activity, with eight vessels contracted in the suezmax and very large crude carrier segments
