George Procopiou orders 10 LR2 tankers in China

George Procopiou’s Dynacom Tankers Management has placed a massive order in China, managing to seal some highly prized 2025 delivery slots. 

According to Clarksons Research, Dynacom has signed for ten 115,000 dwt scrubber-fitted LR2s at Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding, due for delivery from the second half of 2025, going into 2026. 

No prices have been revealed for the order, which is thought to have closed out all of Shanhaiguan’s last remaining 2025 delivery slots.
