Shippingtelegraph: Venergy (V. Vasileiadis) boosts tanker orderbook with South Korean newbuilds

The Greek shipowner Vyron Vasileiadis-led Venergy Maritime expands its cutting-edge fleet of tankers portfolio by adding newbuilding orders at K Shipbuilding in South Korea.

The Piraeus-based player has placed four orders in total in the shipyard with delivery expected between the first and second quarters of 2027.

Vyron Vasileiadis fleet will grow to six eco-friendly vessels, all equipped with the latest green technologies to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving maritime industry.

All four 50,000-dwt ships will be built at the same shipyard, K Shipbuilding, with the first three units expected for delivery in the first quarter of 2027 and the fourth unit in the second quarter.

Venergy’s fleet will rise to six vessels as the shipowner already has in its fleet list two 2018-built 50,000-dwt oil/chemical tankers, Captain Nikos and Captain Leon, both classed in Rina.

Venergy Maritime, member of Vasileiadis Group of Companies (V Group), is a leading player in environmental services, with 80 years of expertise in port reception facilities and strong presence across the Mediterranean, Balkans and Egypt, as exclusive partner of the Suez Canal Authority.

Its operations span across waste management, alternative fuel production, renewable energy, shipping, investments and technology.
