Tankers Inc orders two LR1 tankers at Dalian shipyard
Tankers Inc. has signed its first newbuilding contract for two LR1 vessels of 75,000 DWT each to be built by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. Ltd. ("DSIC"), in the Liaoning province, China. In addition, Tankers Inc. retains an option to declare a further two LR1 newbuildings to be determined at a later stage, the Company said.
The newbuildings are highly fuel-efficient and are designed to save up to 25% bunker fuel costs when compared to other LR1 tonnage on the water (depending on actual speed performed).
Denmark-based Tankers Inc. is a newly-formed shipping company focused on ownership and chartering of tonnage in the product tanker segment, with a team led by Mikael Skov, former CEO of TORM A/S and Jan Mechlenburg.
