Angelakos Takes Major Step in Fleet Renewal with New Ship Orders in China In a significant move to modernize its fleet, Greek maritime company Angelakos (Hellas) has confirmed a substantial order of eight new kamsarmax bulk carriers. These vessels will be built at two key shipyards in China, signaling a robust push into eco-friendly and efficient maritime transportation. The new building initiative involves collaborations with Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co (Nacks) and Dalian Cosco KHI Ship Engineering (Dacks). These shipyards are recognized for their expertise and state-of-the-art shipbuilding facilities, making them fitting partners for this ambitious project. Angelakos expressed its enthusiasm about the order, emphasizing that each of the 82,000-deadweight-ton (dwt) vessels will incorporate advanced, sustainable technologies. These moves underline Angelakos' commitment to not only enhancing capacity but also aligning with modern environmental standards within the shipping industry.
