The new vessels will operate under time charter agreements.

Last year, the company placed orders for two ammonia dual-fuel tankers with Chinese shipbuilder Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC).

"With the addition of these two [new] LNG dual-fuel Suezmax tankers, MISC Group will have 21 newbuilds progressing through its fleet renewal pipeline and scheduled to enter our fleet over the next two to three years," the company said.

However, it has not provided any additional information about the vessel’s deployment plans.
