Dutch owner Mercurius Shipping has returned to China’s Jiangxi New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry for more stainless steel chemical tankers.
The inland waterway shipping player has signed up for a pair of 6,000 newbuilds, with delivery likely by June and September 2026.
No price has been given for the 135-m-long vessels, the same as with the previous four-ship series that signaled the restructured builder’s, formerly known as Jiangzhou Union Shipbuilding, first foreign newbuilding order last March.
The Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht-headquartered company, which traces its roots back to 1983, counts a fleet of 21 vessels, mostly made up of inland tankers and boxships.
