According to Clarksons, Transpetro had ordered two suezmax tankers, five aframax tankers, three long-range-one (LR1) tankers, and eight medium-range tankers.
The cancelled orders accounted for more than a third of the 46 ships built under the programme, Reuters says.
Representatives of Transpetro and the shipyards were not immediately available for comment.
