Teekay Tankers unveils four newbuild orders in China and Korea

New York-listed Teekay Tankers has ordered two tankers at a Chinese shipyard and two at a Korean shipyard as part of its fleet renewal plan.

The shipowner has placed an order for two aframax / LR2 tankers at a Chinese yard with expected deliveries in 2030 and two suezmax tankers at a Korean yard with expected deliveries in 2030.

As part of the contracts with the Korean yard, the company also received options for two additional suezmax tanker newbuildings. If exercised, these optional newbuildings would also be expected to be delivered in 2030.

The contracts with the Chinese yard were signed in October, followed by the Korean suezmax order this month.
