Their partnership first began with bulkcarrier projects back in 2023, and has since expanded across multiple vessel categories including VLACs, VLCCs, Suezmax and Kamsarmax tankers, with total newbuilding orders exceeding 50 units to date.      To date, Dynacom has taken delivery of two VLCCs, two tankers and 13 Kamsarmax bulk carriers from Hengli Heavy Industry.     Hengli Heavy Industry currently holds the world’s largest VLAC orderbook among single shipyards, with its order backlog stretching to 2030.
