Singapore's SDTR Marine and AVIC Leasing have signed contracts with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC) for the construction and delivery of 10 post-Panamax bulk carriers.

Delivery of all 10 vessels in this latest order will bring SDTR's total fleet size to 24. The company presently has nine ships in service with another five newbuildings under construction at various shipyards in China.

The first 85,000DWT vessel is scheduled to be delivered in 2021.
