Newbuildings
A Significant Milestone In TBS' Development
The newbuilds M/V Rockaway Belle and M/V Dakota Princess delivered to TBS in the Third Quarter of 2009 and First Quarter of 2010, respectively, a significant milestone for the Company. TBS has on order with Chinese shipyards four additional Roymar Class 34,000 dwt multipurpose vessels with retractable tweendecks, of which two are scheduled for delivery in 2010, and the remaining two in 2011, contributing to the renewal of the TBS fleet.
TBS is investing in the future as it continuously seeks new solutions to meet the growing demands of globalization. These newly-constructed ships will have increased cargo capacity and improved efficiencies.
