Bulgarian shipping company Navibulgar confirmed the building of another two high efficient Bluetech 45 bulk carriers by the Chinese Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group.
According to the company, the two 45000t bulk carriers of the latest Bluetech 45 generation are expected to enhance the development of the successful Bluetech 42 project.
This deal is a continuation of the contract for 4+2 newbuildings of DWT 45 000 t, signed in July this year with one of China’s three largest shipyards.
The eco-friendly ships are expected to have the largest hold volume and deadweight and lowest fuel consumption in their class.
“This constitutes another confident step towards the implementation of Navibulgar’s objective to operate towards the middle of the 2020s its own fleet of 1.5 million tons of average age below 7 years. The ambition of the Company’s management is to establish Navibulgar as one of the leading shipowners in Europe in the sector of the so-called “Handy-size” bulk carriers,” the company said.
