Greece’s Dynacom Tankers has swelled its suezmax orderbook at China’s New Times Shipbuilding.

Newbuilding sources report that George Procopiou’s company has signed up for six more 159,000 dwt vessels, adding to a previously booked pair at the privately owned shipyard in April.

The latest sextet will run on conventional fuels, will be equipped with scrubbers and will cost about $78-79m each, with delivery expected in 2028.

The Athens-based outfit has a massive orderbook of crude and product carriers spread across multiple shipyards in China. According to the company’s website, Dynacom Tankers Management currently manages a fleet of 67 tankers, with an additional 53 vessels under construction.

Jiangsu-based New Times has emerged as one of Prokopiou’s preferred shipyards, with shipping databases listing 12 suezmaxes currently under construction for Dynacom at the yard.

Beyond its newbuilding activity, Dynacom is also active in the secondhand market. S&P databases show the company acquired three 2009-built suezmaxes this year, formerly owned by Teekay Tankers.
