Several new shipbuilding orders were announced last week while we also report further delivery delays and an order switch.rnFirst, Taiwan-based shipbuilder CSBC Corp announced that it had signed contracts for a pair of MR tankers with a domestic shipowner. The 40,000dwt vessels were ordered by state-owned oil refiner CPC Corp. Priced at NT$1.6Bn ($48.5M) apiece, they are due for delivery in January and June 2011. This will be welcome news for CSBC, which has not received a single newbuilding order since January last year.
