The company said it would order two firm 64,000 dwt vessels and book two optional units,with first delivery expected in the second half of 2027.

The newbuilds will mainly provide shipping services to bulk commodity traders for domestic and foreign trade, the company said in a filing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
