Zhejiang Shipping orders two ultramax bulkers at New Dayang

Zhejiang Shipping Group has signed for two ultramax bulk carriers at New Dayang Shipbuilding.

The contract is worth RMB519.6m (about $77m), or roughly $38.5m for each 64,000-dwt vessel, following a public tender. The two conventionally fuelled ships are being built for international trading, with delivery expected by the end of March and June 2030.

New Dayang, part of Sumec Marine, has delivered more than 160 vessels in its Crown 63 series and has booked over 10 bulker orders this year, with its production schedule now stretching into 2030.
