Guangzhou Shipyard inks twin VLOC order
China-based Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) won a deal to build two VLOC for Chinese steel firm Henghou Group.

Financial details of the deal involving the two 250,000 dwt ships were not revealed. The delivery dates for the newbuildings were also not disclosed.

GSI said the order win underscored the company's ability to build large vessels and allowed it to reinforce its shipbuilding capabilities amid the current market slump.
