Idan Ofer’s Eastern Pacific Shipping has added one LR2 tanker newbuild to its large orderbook.

The Singapore-based owner has contracted for a 114，000 dwt product carrier at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding for delivery in 2026.

The deal with an undisclosed value for the scrubber-fitted newbuild adds to a pair of LR2s Shanghai Waigaoqiao is already building for EPS with delivery due next year.

EPS has one of the largest newbuilding programmes spread across multiple shipyards， involving more than 80 ships， from newcastlemax bulkers to very large ammonia carriers.

In addition to SWS， the company has a series of 111，000 dwt LNG dual-fuel LR2 tankers under construction at CSSC Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI)， joining the fleet in 2026 and 2027. Other tanker investments comprise 50，000 dwt MR units， the majority of which will be built by New Times Shipbuilding and Fujian Mawei in China.
