Athens-based Sea Pioneer Shipping, has finalized an order for two additional MR product tankers from South Korea's K Shipbuilding. This follows the initial order of two vessels placed in November last year. According to shipbuilding industry sources, Sea Pioneer Shipping exercised its options for the two 50,000 dwt (deadweight tonnage) tankers, each valued at $45 million. The first pair of tankers is slated for delivery in 2025, with the newly ordered duo expected to join the fleet between 2026 and 2027. These newbuilds will be conventionally fueled and designed to be scrubber-ready, aligning with current industry standards for emission control.

Sea Pioneer Shipping continues to expand its fleet, which currently includes 12 vessels, consisting of seven bulk carriers and six tankers. In addition to the recent orders from K Shipbuilding, the company has three kamsarmax bulk carriers under construction at Japan’s Oshima Shipbuilding.This strategic expansion underscores Sea Pioneer Shipping’s commitment to enhancing its operational capabilities and market presence in the maritime shipping industry. The addition of these advanced MR product tankers will further bolster its capacity to meet the evolving demands of global shipping and trade.
