Oskar Wehr seals newbuild quartet in China

Energy News Beat

Germany’s Oskar Wehr is expanding its fleet with four general cargo newbuilds in China.

Newbuilding sources report the Hamburg-based outfit has contracted 5,900 dwt units at Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry.

No price has been divulged for the order.

The yard, which has several German owners on its newbuilding project list, is expected to deliver Oskar Wehr’s quartet from the second quarter of 2026 through to the second quarter of 2027.

According to shipbuilding databases, the owner and manager, founded in 1945 and now run by the third family generation, last ordered newbuilds in late 2007.

After exiting the containership market in 2020, Oskar Wehr has focused mainly on the dry bulk segment in the supramax and handysize classes.
