d'Amico International Shipping S.A. has signed a shipbuilding contract with Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Limited for two Medium Range 1 (MR1) product tankers, each costing $43.2 million. The vessels are scheduled for delivery in April and July 2029. d'Amico Tankers also holds an option to order one or two additional ships within three months.

The current fleet includes 29 double-hulled product tankers, averaging 9.5 years in age. The new MR1s are expected to be the most efficient in the fleet, consuming 4 tonnes less fuel per day and carrying 4,000 cubic meters more cargo compared to existing models.

They will be methanol-ready, biofuel-certified, and designed for shore power. This $86.4 million investment supports the company's fleet renewal strategy following the sale of four older vessels.
