On August 17, 2024, China Merchants Energy Shipping(CMES )officially announced a major step forward in its fleet expansion and sustainability efforts. Through its fully-owned subsidiary, Associated Maritime Co Ltd (AMCL), CMES signed contracts with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. for the construction of 10 next-generation energy-efficient oil tankers.
