Greece’s Polembros Shipping has inked up to four 206,000-dwt bulkers at China’s Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS).
Polembros confirmed the company has inked in a firm pair of the big ships but other sources suggest the order may include two optional units.
All of them are said to be for delivery in 2013.
Last August, the company inked in four 205,000-dwt bulkers at China’s Qidong Daoda Heavy Industry for a reported $56m to $57m each. The first is slated for delivery in 2012 and the remaining three in 2013.
Other Greek owners have also shown themselves to be keen on this size. Anthony Kandylides-led Oceanfreight booked three similar ships at SWS last March at $68m each.
