tons (dwt), and four additional tankers, each with a capacity of 13,000 dwt. The shipyard responsible for these newbuilds has not yet been disclosed, although Xingtong previously contracted Wuchang Shipbuilding , a division of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) specializing in chemical tankers, for similar methanol-powered vessels of 25,900 dwt. Wuchang has been actively involved in several large-scale projects this year, including agreements to construct up to ten vessels for the Junzheng Group. This expansion aligns with Xingtong Shipping’ s strategic focus on enhancing its fleet capacity and adopting dual-fuel technology to improve environmental efficiency. The dual-fuel methanol capability reflects the company’s commitment to lowering emissions in compliance with international environmental standards, positioning Xingtong as a forward-thinking operator in the chemical shipping sector.
