Chinese shipyard，SUMEC Marine’s New Dayang Shipbuilding has officially entered the tanker construction sector by securing an order for four MR (Medium Range) product tankers.
This move signifies a major milestone, as New Dayang, traditionally known for its excellence in bulk carrier construction, steps into the more technically demanding world of tanker building. The vessels, equipped with advanced smart technologies and future-ready methanol fuel adaptability, demonstrate a strong commitment to green and sustainable shipping solutions.
Key Highlights：
Market Expansion: The new order showcases New Dayang's successful diversification strategy and ambition to capture opportunities in the booming oil and chemical carrier market.
Technology and Sustainability: These MR tankers reflect cutting-edge design, combining high environmental performance with the flexibility to embrace future fuel technologies.
Global Recognition: Partnering with a globally renowned shipowner underscores the trust in New Dayang's capabilities and its growing influence in the international maritime industry.
New Dayang is joining the ranks of other Chinese shipyards, such as Wuhu Shipbuilding and Cosco HI Guangdong, in expanding into tanker construction—a sector that requires more advanced technical expertise compared to bulk carriers. This is a testament to the evolving sophistication of China’s shipbuilding industry and its ability to adapt to global market demands.
With delivery of these vessels scheduled for 2027–2028, this order not only enhances New Dayang’s portfolio but also strengthens China’s position as a global leader in sustainable shipbuilding.
