en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, during the 2026 Posidonia Maritime Exhibition in Greece, Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Limited (GSI), under China State Shipbuilding Corporation, together with China Shipbuilding Trading Co., Ltd., officially signed a contract with Greece's Pleiades Shipping Company for the construction of two 50,000 DWT oil tankers, while also establishing a long-term deep strategic partnership. This signing and cooperation not only marks a landmark achievement for GSI's years of deep cultivation in the European, especially Greek, market, but also serves as strong evidence of GSI's solid strength in shipbuilding and its new generation of intelligent green shipbuilding technology being highly recognized by major international oil tanker owners.
In recent years, the global shipping industry has accelerated its transition towards low fuel consumption, low carbon, and zero carbon, with international shipowners' demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient vessels continuously rising. Leveraging years of technical accumulation in the handy-size oil tanker segment, GSI's 50,000 DWT oil tanker product features excellent energy-saving and environmental performance along with intelligent operational capabilities, perfectly aligning with the current green transformation trend of the international shipping industry.
As of now, GSI's total order book for oil tanker products exceeds 70 vessels, with nearly 30 new orders signed in 2026 alone. This ample and high-quality order reserve not only lays a solid foundation for the company's sustained and stable production and deep cultivation of the global high-end maritime market, but also provides ample development space for promoting green shipbuilding technology research and development and assisting the global shipping industry in achieving high-quality green transformation.
