Oshima Shipbuilding in Japan has received an order for four Handy-size bulk carriers for Fednav due for delivery in 2029. The 35,000 dwt bulk carriers will be capable of trading into the Great Lakes. They will be sisterships to the ones built 2-3 years ago such as Federal New York. They will also be sisterships to Federal Phoenix, currently heading for the St. Lawrence River on its maiden trip.
