Greece’s Nereus Shipping, an affiliate of CM Lemos, has added three more tankers to its orderbook.
The Piraeus-based tanker and bulker outfit has revealed three suezmax newbuilds would be joining its fleet in 2027.
Splash understands the 158,600 dwt ships will be built at Japan Marine United, which marks the company’s return to Japan’s second largest shipbuilder after nearly eight years when four suezmaxes were booked for construction, including the 2019-built Homeric (pictured).
Nereus lists 14 ships in its fleet, of which 11 tankers. In July 2022, the company ordered its first LR2 tankers, which should deliver from Hyundai Vietnam Shipbuilding in 2025.
