Gearbulk has signed contracts for delivery of two additional ammonia/methanol conversion ready 82,300 dwt Open Hatch newbuildings.
As explained, these units will be sister vessels to Pulpmax no. 1-4 ordered earlier this year, and will be built in the same shipyard, CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Longxue in Guangzhou, China. The vessels will be delivered to Gearbulk in October 2028 and January 2029.
The technical specifications and capacity, including enhanced cargo crane capacity of 2×75 metric tons and 2x 120 and tween decks, will be the same as no. 1-4.
This order marks yet another milestone in Gearbulk’s drive to renew its fleet with efficient, high-capacity vessels servicing G2 Ocean customers.
…says Kristian Jebsen.
To remind, in April 2024, G2 Ocean announced the further expansion of its fleet with up to four 82,300 deadweight ton (dwt) ammonia/methanol-ready Open Hatch vessels.
