Struggling Vietnamese state shipbuilder Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group (Vinashin) has inked a contract to build a pair of car carriers for Norway’s Blystad Group. Vinashin’s Nam Trieu Shipbuilding Industry Corp is to build two 6,900 capacity car carriers. The vessels are due to be delivered in October 2013 and April 2014. The shipyard previously signed a contract with Hoegh Autoliners to build two car carriers but the contract was cancelled due to difficulties experienced by Vinashin.
