Danish tanker company Torm A/S has placed a $370 million order for up to eight conventional product tankers with Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard Co Ltd in China. This marks Torm's return to newbuilding activity after an eight-year hiatus. The vessels will each have a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 50,000
and are scheduled for delivery between January 2029 and December 2030. The order represents a significant investment for Torm, with the company reportedly paying approximately $46 million per ship. Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard is known for constructing tankers, and this contract adds to its portfolio of product tanker builds. Torm’s decision to resume newbuilding after nearly a decade reflects strategic fleet renewal and expansion plans. The newbuildings will enhance Torm’s product tanker fleet, supporting its operations in the global shipping market. The deliveries over the next few years will contribute to the company’s capacity and operational flexibility.
