According to the news, several shipbuilding industry sources said that Evalend Shipping, owned by Greek shipowner Kriton Lendoudis, has commissioned Daikin Heavy Industries to build a series of 211,000 dwt Newcastle bulk carriers. According to reports, the shipowner negotiated with Daikin Heavy Industries in July on the construction of as many as 4 new Newcastle bulk carriers. Today, the number of ships involved in this order has increased to 5. According to reports, the single cost of this batch of Newcastle-type bulk carriers equipped with desulfurization devices is about 77.5 million US dollars.

Huaxi Securities previously stated that the shipbuilding sector has officially entered the mainstream shipbuilding market. Since the first order was signed in August '25, the company has signed a total of 24 new ship manufacturing orders, with a total contract amount of about 12 billion yuan. The order delivery period is concentrated between 2027-2030. We continue to be optimistic about the incremental space of the new growth curve driven by the company's own fleet transportation and ship construction.
