China's Seacon Shipping Group is expanding its fleet with an order for two kamsarmax bulkers and two resale captures, TradeWinds reported.
The company said it had contracted the 82,000-dwt ships at CSSC Huangpu Shipyard for delivery in 2019.
It has also signed a bareboat agreement with a Shanghai finance and leasing company for two 64,000-dwt ultramaxes under construction at a Nantong shipyard.
