Japan’s Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) has contracted compatriot Nihon Shipyard to build three wide-beam, shallow draft post-panamax coal carriers. The 92,000 dwt ships will be methanol-ready and represent a tweak on the designs of K Line’s existing Corona class of post-pamamaxes. The ships will be used to provide coal to Japanese power stations. No price has been revealed for the newbuilds. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsJapan
