An update from Uni-Asia Group Ltd. ( (SG:CHJ) ) is now available.

Uni-Asia Group Limited has signed an agreement with Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd and its affiliate to acquire a 40,000-deadweight-tonne double hull bulk carrier to be built by Imabari Shipbuilding at Shimanami Shipyard. The vessel, scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2028, will feature an eco-type engine and a dual-fuel-ready design, allowing future retrofitting for eco-fuel systems.

The transaction is part of Uni-Asia’s broader fleet renewal strategy, aimed at modernising its bulk carrier portfolio and improving environmental performance relative to its existing ships. Pricing was agreed on an arm’s-length basis and is consistent with historical newbuilding prices for similar-sized vessels, with funding expected to come from a mix of internal resources, external debt and other financing arrangements yet to be finalised.
