The TOP SHIPS Fleet list includes eight MR2 product / chemical tanker newbuildings. Two are listed for 2028 and six for 2029. Each vessel has its own hull reference, and all eight entries identify Trafigura as charterer.
The program gives visitors a clear view of the fleet entries that are scheduled beyond the operating vessels. It also separates three pieces of information that are easy to confuse: the vessel reference, the scheduled year built / delivery, and the expiry of the firm charter period.
The scheduled delivery years provide a clear structure for exploring the program. Individual vessel pages then bring together capacity, flag and charter particulars for each hull reference.

Commercial structure
Every published entry lists a charter duration of 7+1+1+1+1 Years with Trafigura. The entries scheduled for 2028 show expiry of the firm period in 2035, while those scheduled for 2029 show 2036.
The firm charter period and subsequent options should be considered separately. A listed option period is not the same as an exercised option. The company’s Fleet & Charter Coverage section distinguishes firm and optional periods visually, providing a wider view of the fleet schedule.
Vessel deadweight is listed as 50,000 DWT for each newbuilding, and the flag information is listed as Marshall I. Deadweight is a vessel carrying-capacity measure; the cargo that can be carried on a particular voyage also depends on its characteristics, the vessel’s loading condition and operational requirements.
The company’s stated strategy includes growing its fleet through acquisitions of newbuilding, resale or secondhand vessels of superior ECO design. The newbuilding list sits within that published strategy, while reports and announcements remain the reference for investment and financial details.

Design context
A newbuilding program is an opportunity to consider the vessel as a complete system: hull, propulsion, cargo arrangements, auxiliary systems and operational management. TOP SHIPS describes an ECO design approach and publishes technical profiles for its tanker categories.
Technology & Eco Design explains the role of the systems included in those published profiles. Explore the category-level profiles to understand the technical context, and each vessel’s own page for its listed particulars.

Program questions
Why are the vessels identified by numbers?+
The existing Fleet list identifies these newbuildings by their individual hull references. Those references are preserved here so each published entry remains identifiable.
Does the scheduled year confirm a delivery date?+
The schedule is organised by the years listed in Fleet: 2028 for the first two references and 2029 for the remaining six. Detailed dates and construction updates can be followed through company announcements.
Where can I find the latest company information?+
Use Investor Relations for company announcements, reports and filings, and Fleet for the published vessel list and charter coverage.
