Greek shipowner and operator, Limassol based LMZ Shipping is expanding its fleet by ordering two (2) kamsarmax dry bulk carriers 82K DWT at Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. Greek shipowner and operator LMZ Shipping has not ordered new-building bulk carriers since 2003. Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang Shipbuilding is scheduled to deliver the first kamsarmax dry bulk carrier by Q4 2019. Each Tier II-compliant kamsarmax dry bulk carrier will cost around $25 million.
