Mediterranean Shipping Co and German defence group Rheinmetall were awarded the auction for Romania's bankrupt Mangalia shipyard at 138 million euros, while COSCO Shipping Bulk contracted a further 16 multipurpose grain carriers at Fujian Shipbuilding in an order estimated near $800m.
Zhonggu Shipping has signed for two 14,000 teu ships at Hudong-Zhonghua, lifting its 2026 container spend to $1.37bn, while EuroDry added a third $37m kamsarmax at Hengli on the argument that five-year-old tonnage now costs more than newbuildings.
Owners committed to a fresh wave of bulker and tanker newbuildings in China this week with disclosed prices between $35.5m and $80m a ship and deliveries stretching into 2030, even as secondhand VLCC values have risen above newbuilding prices for the first time on record.
