Gearbulk has signed contracts for delivery of two additional ammonia/methanol conversion ready 82,300 dwt Open Hatch newbuildings.

These units will be sister vessels to Pulpmax no. 1-4 ordered earlier this year, and will be built in the same shipyard, CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Longxue in Guangzhou, China. The vessels will be delivered to Gearbulk in October 2028 and January 2029.
