Berge's soon to be completed bulkers?
« on: May 22, 2010, 09:35:55 AM »
Berge Bulk Fleet

Bottom of the list, 4  388.000 DWT VLOC, are they being constructed as we speak or soon to be started?

If they are, does anyone have any pictures or plans or anything?

Thanks

Thanks, I did a quick search but no additional info turned up, can anyone shed a bit of light regarding more info, a picture would be golden.

Thanks.

You'll be hard pressed to find photos of the BW newbuildings as construction of the first ship is unlikely to have started yet! Delivery is slated for 4/2011. All 4 ships are being built by Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. Hull numbers as follows:

BH416-1 - 4/2011
BH416-2 - 8/2011
BH416-3 - 12/2011
BH416-4 - 4/2012

At such an early stage, very little info is available in the public domain. You could try contacting BW Limited, but don't hold your breath for a reply.
