ODFJELL SE, a leading chemical transportation company based in Norway, has placed a new order for two chemical tankers. The vessels, each with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 25,000, will be built by Shin Kurushima Toyohashi Shipbuilding Co
., Ltd. in Japan. The tankers are expected to use conventional fuel technology, reflecting current industry standards for chemical tankers. The confirmed delivery window for these ships spans from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027, suggesting a strategic expansion of ODFJELL SE's fleet over the next few years. This order was reported by Banchero Costa and marks the fifth order from ODFJELL SE to Shin Kurushima Toyohashi Shipbuilding
, which has experienced a steady flow of contracts. The Japanese shipbuilder has made a notable name in the shipbuilding industry by accommodating various orders for diverse types of vessels. As the demand for chemical transportation continues to grow, the addition of these vessels is likely to enhance ODFJELL SE's operational capabilities. The company's choice to employ conventional fuel options suggests a balanced approach to operational demands and environmental considerations.
