German MPP specialist Candler Schiffahrt has bolstered its orderbook at China’s Jiangxi New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry in a deal for two additional vessels.
The Bremen-based company has contracted the 12,000 dwt brace for an undisclosed price tag following a deal for four newbuildings last March.
Shipbuilding sources said the latest deal covers optional units the company secured through the initial order.
The 140 m long vessels have been developed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) to meet the EEDI Phase 3 and the IMO Tier III requirements for NOx emissions.
Candler currently operates four MPPs under its own management and several chartered-in ships.
The yard in Jiangxi, formerly known as Jiangzhou Union Shipbuilding, had also recently secured more orders from Dutch owner Mercurius Shipping for stainless steel chemical tankers.
