Japan's Oshima Shipbuilding has won an order for two 55,000-dwt bulkers from Canadian shipowner Fednav.
Delivery is set for June 2014 and the price is yet to be revealed.
The shipyard developed a new 56,000-dwt bulker type in summer last year but Fednav is said to have inked existing 55,500-dwt bulker.
The owner also has two 35,000-dwt bulkers on order at the same shipyard for delivery in June 2012 and January 2013.
