Dubai-based Tomini Shipping has placed an order for three Kamsarmaxes with China's Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding Co.
Selected for their energy-saving and fuel-efficient designs, the 82,000DWT ships are scheduled for delivery from the second half of 2019.
They follow the company's order in June for three newbuild bulk carriers from CIC (Jiangsu) shipyard. The 64,000DWT Ultramaxes are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2019.
The latest order will take Tomini's fleet to 18 vessels.
Tomini Shipping is the shipping subsidiary of Tomini Group, a diversified international business group whose interests include classic cars and plant machinery.
