The deal includes three ammonia-fitted 210 000 dwt Newcastlemax bulk carriers, jointly owned by CMB.TECH and MOL, and chartered to MOL for 12 years. Additionally, six chemical tankers—two ammonia-fitted and four ammonia-ready—have been ordered by CMB.TECH and will be chartered to MOLCT for periods of 10 and 7 years, respectively.
