Including the latest two vessels, Oldendorff currently has 7 Kamsarmax bulk carriers on order at Hantong Ship Heavy Industry. The first 5 were ordered last year, and these 7 new vessels will be delivered between 2019 and 2020. It is understood that the current market price for 82,000-dwt Kamsarmax bulk carriers is approximately US\$25 million.

Data on Oldendorff's official website shows that the company has also ordered 2 100,000-dwt ultra-Panamax bulk carriers from an unnamed shipyard, with delivery scheduled for 2020. There are reports that these 2 bulk carriers are currently being built by Japan's Oshima Shipbuilding.

Currently, Oldendorff has a total of 20 bulk carriers under construction at shipyards in China and Japan.
