Commodities trader Vitol has booked four LR2 tankers at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. Brokers suggest a price tag of around $72.5m each and higher, with delivery of the 115,000 dwt vessels starting from October 2026 through to March 2027. The order follows Hyundai Vietnam-built 110,000 dwt LR2s, Elandra Swift and Elandra Tern, entering the fleet earlier this year. In related LR2 newbuilding deals at Dalian, Greece’s Cape Shipping has been tied to a 115,000 dwt scrubber-fitted pair for delivery in 2026. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsSwitzerland
