The yard, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC), has valued the newbuilding at $27m each for delivery between 2015 to 2017.
Cosco said that the latest shipbuilding orders would help the company renew its dry bulk fleet.
Financially-weakened Cosco has also recently ordered four VLCC newbuilds from China Shipbuilding Industry Co (CSIC), with delivery slated in 2016.
Cosco has been struggling against a potential delisting from the Shanghai Stock Exchange after it posted three years of consecutive annual losses.
