Yasa Holding Tipped for Debut VLCC Newbuilding Order as Supertanker Contracting Surges
Turkish owner Yasa Holding is reportedly ordering four 319,000 dwt VLCC newbuildings at Jiangsu New Hantong Ship Heavy Industry, valued at $125m each and scheduled for delivery in 2029. The order, if confirmed, would be Yasa's first VLCC newbuilding, complementing its existing secondhand VLCC fleet. This comes during the busiest period for supertanker contracting in years, with Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 ordering already topping the highest full-year VLCC order tally on record.
