Chengxi Shipyard Co.,a subsidiary corporation wholly-owned by China CSSC Holdings Limited, has entered into a contract with Hong Kong-based Wah Kwong Maritime for the construction of eight 64,000 dwt bulk carriers.
Under the contract the vessels will be of the Dolphin 64 ship series. The Dolphin 64 series, designed by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design Institute (Sdari), is a Supermax vessel with energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly, and economic characteristics.
Not only does it have the index of each function much higher than the required baseline by standards, but also it shows unparalleled advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness over vessels of similar types.
