SHIPPING: Ultrabulk has placed an order with a major Japanese ship yard for the construction and delivery of one new generation super eco-designed 38.000 DWT Handysize bulker for delivery in 2014. Option to extend the order with one additional vessel.

“We have historically enjoyed a strong and close long term relationship with many of the trading houses and ship yards in Japan” says Henrik Sleimann Petersen, Executive Vice President and Head of Shipholding of Ultrabulk,

“We are pleased to support them by investing in this new generation of super ECO-designed environmentally friendly unit, which the ship yard spend considerable efforts in designing”.

We are looking forward to serving our industrial clients with the latest generation of green Handysize bulkers”, says Per von Appen, Executive Vice President and Head of Ultrabulk’s Handysize segment.
