In his latest weekly report, Shipbroker Banchero Costa said that “it was a slow week with a variety of orders. The options are increasingly being carried out in new manufacturing contracts (especially for feeders) thanks to pre-negotiations and guaranteed slots. The chemical tanker sector remains active, especially in small to medium ranges. Essberger, in collaboration with Dal, has signed a contract for 2 × 13,000 stainless steel DWT, a double fuel methanol chemical tanker from Nantong. China Shipbuilding Corporation will build 2 × 210,000 DWT bulk operators for Chinese maritime transportation at a cost of $ 77.5 million each, with delivery scheduled for 2027-2028.
