Chinese yard clinches tanker pair

Jo Tankers in Norway recently ordered two 30.000 dwt stainless steel chemical tankers of IMOI/II/III notation from Mingde Heavy Industry in China with delivery from mid-year 2013. The order also contains options for additional vessels to be declared later.

These vessels represent an expansion and further renewal of the Jo Tankers core fleet within advanced chemical tankers.
Jo Tankers announced earlier this year the order of two LR1/PANAMAX from STX in South Korea and two LR1/PANAMAX from New Times Shipbuilding with delivery late 2012 and early 2013.
