en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding has secured orders for 15 bulk carriers of 40,500 dwt, with a total value exceeding 3 billion yuan.

According to data from Clarksons, this batch of new ship orders was signed at the end of April, with the shipowner's information undisclosed. The first eight vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2029, while the remaining ships will be delivered in 2030. Although the ship prices were not disclosed, industry insiders estimate the cost per vessel to be approximately $29.8 million, bringing the total amount to $447 million (approximately RMB 3.052 billion).

For reference, Clarksons' data shows that the current newbuilding price for 38,000-42,000 dwt bulk carriers is around $30 million (approximately RMB 204 million), unchanged from the same period last year.

The 40,500 dwt Handysize bulk carrier is the flagship product of Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding. It is understood that Nanyang Shipbuilding's Handysize bulk carriers feature leading technology and excellent performance, becoming one of the international standard ship types and known in the international market as the "Nanyang-type" vessel. Since its establishment, Nanyang Shipbuilding has delivered over a hundred Handysize bulk carriers, holding the top global market share in the modern, energy-efficient Handysize bulk carrier segment.

Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding was established in early 2005, located on the banks of Yinzhou Lake in Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. It operates two production sites covering an area of 915 mu, with a total workshop area of 140,000 square meters. The shipyard is capable of building vessels up to 100,000 tons, with an annual production capacity of 1.6 million dwt.

Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding has consistently focused on the research and construction of bulk carriers under 100,000 dwt. Over the past decade, Nanyang Shipbuilding has successively developed and launched the 39,000DWT Green Eco-friendly Handysize Bulk Carrier, the B-type 39,000DWT Green Eco-friendly Handysize Bulk Carrier, the 39,800DWT Multi-purpose Bulk Carrier, and the 40,000DWT Green Eco-friendly Large Opening Bulk Carrier.

In 2024, Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding entered the Ultramax market for the first time and has since successively secured orders for a total of 49 Ultramax bulk carriers of 64,500 dwt, setting a new construction record for the shipyard. Nanyang Shipbuilding is expected to deliver its first Ultramax bulk carrier, built for Japan's Nisshin Shipping, in September this year.

Clarksons' data shows that Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding currently holds an orderbook totaling 113 vessels with a combined capacity of 5.75 million dwt, including 64 bulk carriers of 40,500 dwt and 49 bulk carriers of 64,500 dwt, with delivery slots extending to 2030.
