The Indian conglomerate signed a contract to build two bulk carriers (175,000 DWT) with HHIC-Phil in 2007. An official from the HHIC-Phil said, “The fact that the same vessel is ordered again by the same shipping company showcases the client’s great confidence and trust in HHIC Subic Shipyard.” He continued, “We are going to keep promoting our sales activities against shipping companies around the world and continue winning orders.”
