Pantheon Tankers Returns to MR Newbuilds With Two-Vessel China Order at COSCO Guangdong
Pantheon Tankers, led by Anna Angelicoussis, has returned to the MR newbuilding market with a two-vessel order at COSCO Guangdong Shipyard in China, according to Splash247. The 50,000 dwt newbuilds are the company's first purpose-built MR programme since a six-ship series from STX Offshore & Shipbuilding in 2019. The deal extends a fleet renewal drive increasingly centered on Chinese yards, spanning LR2/aframax, LNG dual-fuel suezmax, and VLCC newbuilds.
