2014-07-31

Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry (SHGSIC), subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Industry Company (CSIC), has recently signed an order to build two 38,500 dwt bulkers with a domestic shipowner.

It is said that the two bulkers will be built based on a design of CSIC’s China Ship Design & Research Center (CSDC) to optimize energy efficiency. The contract value and delivery details for the vessels are not disclosed.

They each measure 182m in length, 30m in breadth, with 14.8m of height. Having 9.5m of design draft and 10.5m of structure draft, their design speed is said to be at least 14 knots with a cruising power of 20,000 nautical miles. They are also scheduled to be classified by China Classification Society (CCS) and registered as Hong Kong-flagged.

Last April, Dalian Taijia Shipping of China announced that it had signed a contract to declare two options of Handysize bulkers at SHGSIC. Including the two options exercised, both companies turned out to have agreed on a total of 10 newbuildings of the same size.
