Greece’s Horizon Tankers is set to expand its MR fleet with up to six newbuilds in China.

The Anthony Comninos-led owner has contracted four 50，000 dwt chemical/product carriers at Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard， with deliveries starting in the second half of 2026.

The yard has revealed no price， but shipbuilding sources suggest $45m and upwards per ship. The contract includes two options for one additional unit， exercisable at a later date.

According to shipbuilding databases， Piraeus-based Horizon last booked newbuils in 2014 when it ordered a pair of MRs at South Korea’s Sungdong. The company， set up in 2007， lists a fleet of four suezmaxes and eight MR2s on its website.
