chemical tanker owner Odfjell<\/a> is advancing its fleet renewal strategy with an order for four new vessels, as reported by Splash247. The company has secured four fully stainless-steel ships of 40,000 deadweight tons from a Japanese shipyard.<\/p>\nThe Bergen-based firm has reached an agreement to purchase these vessels from a Japanese owner after their completion at Kitanihon Shipbuilding. Deliveries are scheduled between the first quarter of 2027 and the second quarter of 2029, with the total transaction valued at approximately $290 million.<\/p>\n
These newbuilds will serve in Odfjell’s core deep-sea operations and represent the next generation of what the company calls super-segregators, a market segment where it has maintained a strong presence for many years. Chief Executive Harald Fotland stated that these ships will set a higher standard for efficiency and design in this category.<\/p>\n
The vessels are built to comply with future environmental regulations, including the proposed IMO Energy Efficiency Design Index Phase 5 standards expected from 2035. According to Odfjell, this represents a 50% improvement over the 2009 baseline and makes the ships roughly 25% more efficient than the best-performing 40,000 dwt vessels currently in its fleet. The design incorporates sails, a gate rudder, and other advanced energy-saving technologies.<\/p>\n
This acquisition continues Odfjell’s fleet transformation. Since the second quarter of 2025, the company has scrapped three older super-segregators and recently sold a 26,000 dwt newbuilding under construction in China. Odfjell currently operates a fleet of around 70 vessels and remains a significant player in the chemical tanker market. Earlier this year, the firm stated it controls about 14% of the global orderbook in its core trades.<\/p>\n
In total, Odfjell has 22 newbuildings on order, including both owned and long-term chartered vessels, with deliveries extending through 2029. Ten of those ships are expected to join the fleet in 2026 alone.<\/p>\n
