Fujian Highton Development's subsidiary, Highton International Shipping Limited, has signed contracts with Taizhou Kouan Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. to build four 62,000 DWT multipurpose heavy-lift vessels. The total investment for the project is up to RMB 1.2 billion, excluding tax. This order marks a strategic move for Fujian Highton, traditionally known for its dry bulk fleet, as it expands into the multipurpose and heavy-lift shipping segment. The new vessels will support cargo related to project logistics, oversized equipment, and China's advanced manufacturing exports. This development reflects Fujian Highton's efforts to diversify its shipping platform beyond its core supramax operations.
