Frontline has restructured its VLCC newbuild order book at Zhoushan Jinhaiwan Shipyard in China.
In 2008 the shipping firm ordered six VLCCs, of which two were cancelled and another two changed into options for 2009.
Under the restructured contract, Frontline ordered an additional VLCC with a revised price of $525m.
The company will take delivery of five 320,000dwt vessels between January 2012 and February 2013.
