Athens<\/strong>-based Performance Shipping <\/strong>has ordered two scrubber-fitted 158,000 dwt <\/strong>Suezmax tanker vessels from China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The firm has signed two shipbuilding contracts with China Shipbuilding Trading<\/strong> and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding <\/strong>for the construction of two vessels, it said in a statement on its website on Monday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Each vessel is priced at $81.5 million<\/strong>, with deliveries scheduled for October 2028<\/strong> and May 202<\/strong>9, respectively.<\/p>\n

The ships will be fitted with scrubber systems or exhaust gas cleaning systems, enabling them to run on HSFO while meeting the IMO<\/strong>‘s global 0.5% <\/strong>sulfur cap.<\/p>\n

Scrubber technology also allows compliance in tighter sulfur areas.<\/p>\n

Wartsila<\/strong> told Ship & Bunker <\/strong>last year<\/a> that its systems can reduce sulfur content in HSFO from 3.5% to as low as 0.10%, even when initially configured for 0.50%.<\/p>\n

This means scrubber-fitted ships can also operate in emission control areas (ECAs), where a 0.10% sulfur limit applies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signing of these two Suezmax newbuilding contracts expands our presence in a segment with constructive medium- and long-term market fundamentals,” Andreas Michalopoulos<\/strong>, CEO of Performance Shipping, said.<\/p>\n
