Navig8 has ordered four 300,000 dwt VLCCs there while another unspecified European owner has committed to build two more.
The 300,000 dwt newbuilding measures 333 m in length, 60 m in breadth with 30 m of height.
The ships will start delivering in the second half of 2016. Hanjin’s Subic yard is now busy through to 2017. Hanjin’s own yard in Busan is too small to handle ships of VLCC size.
New Ships
Meanwhile, three newly built container vessels were rolled off at the Korean shipbuilding facility.
The vessels were ordered by the German shipping company Bernhard Schulte Gmbh and Co. KG last week.
The order for these three 5,400 TEU Container Class Carriers is due to the growing number of German manufacturing orders in February, mostly coming from domestic orders.
