A major ship leasing entity has initiated a substantial fleet expansion, contracting for ten new bulk carriers. These vessels are specified as 80,000 deadweight tonnage (dwt) units.

The total investment for this fleet addition is reported to be approximately CNH3.235bn. This development signals continued investment in maritime transport capacity.

Contracts for the construction of these vessels have been established with a prominent shipyard and a trading company. The collaboration involves a shipyard and another entity jointly overseeing the design and construction phases.

Delivery of the new bulk carriers is anticipated to commence in 2025, with the final vessel expected to join the fleet by the end of 2026. This phased delivery schedule suggests a structured approach to fleet integration.

This expansion is part of a broader strategy by the ship leasing firm, which is affiliated with a state-owned shipbuilding corporation. Such investments contribute to the overall capacity and modernisation of the global shipping fleet.
