Taiwan’s Chailease Holdings has placed an order for ultramax bulk carriers at Chinese builder New Dayang. Through its shipowning subsidiaries, the Taipei-based finance outfit and owner contracted for two Crown 63 Plus design vessels at $35m each with expected delivery in 2028. Chailease is the second Taiwanese owner to book New Dayang ultramax newbuilds after dry bulk player U-Ming Marine Transport earlier this year. New Dayang, which state-run machinery manufacturer Sumec Group took over in 2018, has secured Crown 63 Plus orders from multiple leasing houses and shipowners, with its orderbook currently standing at over 100 vessels. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsTaiwan
