Marinvest fuels up on more methanol carriers

Marinvest Shipping from Sweden is in for more methanol carriers. The ship investment vehicle has been identified by brokers as the party behind an order for two 50,000 dwt tankers at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea. The dual fuelled ships will deliver in late 2019 and early 2020. No price has been revealed for the new ships.

Marinvest is a private shipmanager serving investment groups that are part owners of product and chemical tankers. Holdings include investments in tankers of approximately 75,000 dwt, chemical tankers between 20,000 to 50,000 dwt, a developing coastal shipping company as well as investments in both listed and unlisted instruments. Its methanol fleet currently numbers five in the sea.
