一名熟悉顾建安业务的业内消息人士表示，光华集团（Glory Maritime International）已经与三家中国造船厂签署了意向书。“顾建安已经这三艘船考虑好了承租商。一家中东主权财富基金将资助顾建安的三艘新造船。他们一起合作了多年。”顾建安未对此事置评。MR油轮建造协议据说，光华集团与扬子江船业签订了多达六艘成品油轮的建造协议。该订单包括两艘确认订单和四艘备选订单。《贸易风》获悉，光华集团为每艘确认订单船支付约3,300万美元，计划在2020年第三季度接收首艘船，在下一季度接收第二艘船。这批油轮将按照IMO Tier II标准建造。这名消息人士说：“顾建安仍在考虑是否应该为这批船安装废气洗涤器。这些新造船是所谓的转售船，因为原本这批船是由在新加坡上市的扬子江船业的全资子公司扬子江航运有限公司订造。”光华集团还与设在舟山的金海智造公司签订了一艘VLCC建造意向书。据称，这艘船的造价约为7700万美元，这艘300,000-dwt原油油轮将配备洗涤器。该消息人士说：“这艘VLCC最初由中国海航集团旗下大新华油轮订造。这艘船已建造了约50%，安排于2020年11月交付。”光华集团将与一家未具名的中国石油公司签订VLCC租船合约。更多的业务在散货船板块上，光华集团与山东蓬莱中柏京鲁船业有限公司签订了四艘卡萨姆型散货船新造船的合同。该交易没有备选。这位业内人士表示：“光华集团已经为这四艘卡萨姆型散货船签订了租船合同。”据称，这批装有洗涤器的IMO Tier［散货船每艘的造价约为为2800万美元。新船安排于2021年交付。去年夏天，据报道，光华集团在芜湖造船厂签署合同，计划订造最多10艘极限灵便型散货船，每艘船的造价为2400万美元。这份合同包括四确认订单和六艘备选订单。但是，因为出台的新限制，该合同未能实现。据报道，顾建安希望用MR油轮新造船取代原本计划在芜湖订造的63,500载重吨散货船订单。现在看来，他已经去了扬子江船业订造成品运输船。此前有报道称，顾建安已经在出售最后一艘船，即107,000-dwt tanker Diamond Queen（1998年建成）后，于2011年年中退出海运业务。据说，光华集团拥有五艘阿芙拉型油轮，这五艘油轮在五到六年前建成，签有为期10年的长期合同。但是，这批船没有列在主要的航运数据库中。
