Nanjing Tanker Corporation Secures Three Newbuilding Orders Worth Over RMB 1.3 Billion

Nanjing Tanker Corporation (NTC) has placed orders for three new vessels — one 9,500-cbm ethylene carrier at Yangzhou DYHC Shipbuilding and two 65,000-dwt Panamax crude/product tankers at Dalian Shipbuilding — with a total investment exceeding RMB 1.3 billion. This follows NTC’s recent contracts for two 115,000-dwt LR2 tankers, highlighting its accelerated fleet expansion and strategic return to the LR2 market.

The new vessels will be built with dual-fuel readiness, optimized hull and propulsion designs, and full compliance with IMO Tier III and EEDI Phase 3 standards. These advancements not only improve operational efficiency but also reinforce NTC’s commitment to green and intelligent shipping.

With this multi-type newbuilding program, NTC is strengthening its “oil, chemical, and gas synergy” strategy. As a leading state-owned enterprise in China’s shipping industry, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable growth, building a diversified, future-ready fleet to serve global energy transport needs.
