The eco-design features, including EEDI Phase 3 compliance, and methanol fuel readiness for the 49,800 DWT type, position the vessels favourably for a market increasingly shaped by environmental regulation.
Maritime asset manager Yangzijiang (YZJ) Maritime Development has ordered 10 newbuilds to increase its portfolio to 105 vessels, of which 53 are under construction, according to a bourse filing on April 27.
Comprising four product/crude tankers newbuilds of approximately 114,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) each, four product/oil tankers of approximately 49,800 DWT each and two bulk carriers of approximately 40,000 DWT, the vessels will be funded through a combination of equity co-investment and debt financing.
