Huatai Heavy Industry clinches deal to build eight chemical tankers
China’s Huatai Heavy Industry has won an order to build eight chemical tankers for Germany’s TB Marine-Hamburg.

Nantong-based Huatai said the chemical tankers will be IMO2 rated, but other details of the newbuildings were not revealed, including the vessel sizes, delivery dates and contract prices.

The newbuilding contract was signed on Tuesday in Shanghai.

The latest contract followed Huatai’s earlier deal to construct four 1,400 teu boxships for another German shipowner Nordic Hamburg.
