China's Dalian Shipbuilding Industry is said to have won an order for aframax tankers from Norwegian owner John Fredriksen.
The deal is for two firm orders with an option for two more, set for delivery late in 2013 and 2014. Price tag is reportedly some $44m each.
The ships are said to be booked by Fredriksen’s private Cyprus set-up, Seatankers.
Sources say it is also likely the series will join the Frontline spin-off Frontline 2012, set up late last year.
