Cosco bags US$190m worth of contracts for bulk carriers

Cosco Guagndong and Cosco Zhoushan inked contracts for a total of seven bulk carriers for two European companies.

COSCO (Guangdong) Shipyard Co., Ltd announced that it has secured a contract from a European company to build a bulk carrier of 35,000 dwt. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of
2013.

Separately, COSCO (Zhoushan) Shipyard Co., Ltd has secured two contracts and four option contracts from another European company to build a total of six units of 64,000 dwt bulk carriers with eco-friendly and fuel-efficient designs.

Delivery of the two vessels is expected to be in the first quarter and the second quarter of 2014 respectively. Upon the approval of the two contracts, the shipowner has the option to declare two of the option contracts to become effective within 12 months and the other two option contracts to become effective within 24 months. Delivery of the vessels under the option contracts is expected to take place within 18 months after the option contracts become effective.

The total contract value for the above seven bulk carriers is over US$190 million.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
