Chinese dry bulk shipping operator Winning International Group has placed an order at Shanghai Huarun Dadong Dockyard for the construction of two floating cranes plus an option to construct two more.
Each crane ship will have a lifting capacity of 63 tons and they will be deployed to support Winning’s coal transport operations upon delivery in October 2018.
Winning is a repeat customer to Huarun Dadong, having taken delivery of three crane ships from the yard at the end of 2014.
Winning currently operates a fleet of 32 bulk carriers and four floating cranes.
