Venergy Maritime Exercises Suezmax Options at Hengli Shipbuilding
Greek shipowner Venergy Maritime has expanded its tanker orderbook at Hengli Shipbuilding to four vessels after declaring options for two additional suezmaxes.
Greek shipping company Venergy Maritime has exercised options for two additional suezmax crude tanker newbuildings at China's Hengli Shipbuilding.
The declared options cover two 158,000 dwt vessels. This move doubles the company's committed suezmax series at the Dalian-based yard to four sisterships.
The contract follows an original agreement finalized between the Vyron Vasileiadis-led owner and Hengli Shipbuilding earlier this year, which contained optional slots for subsequent tonnage.
With the latest two-vessel commitment confirmed, Venergy Maritime's wider newbuilding orderbook has expanded to 30 ships.
