Seacon Shipping Group announced that on April 12, 2023, the buyer Seacon Shipping Pte. Ltd entered into two shipbuilding contracts with the seller Huanghai Shipbuilding, with a total consideration of US$83.16 million.

 

Seacon Shipping has chosen 62,000 dwt break-bulk carriers as its investment target. The delivery dates for the two ships are November 30 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

 

In March this year, Seacon Shipping was successfully listed on the main board of Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming “the first Hong Kong-listed ship management stock”.  According to the plan, the company will focus on expanding and optimizing the fleet, and most of the funds raised from the listing will be used for this purpose.
