22 Mar 2010

Anthony Veder has signed a newbuilding contract for three 6500cbm LPG/Ethylene carriers at Sekwang Heavy industries, Korea. The vessels will be delivered during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first half of 2012. Options for further vessels of similar size have also been agreed.

The vessels will fully comply with the latest requirements of the industry and will have a Clean Ship notation for an environmental friendly operation.
