MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is poised to expand its bulging orderbook with a newbuilding deal for 10 mega-size LNG dual-fuel container ships worth about $2.15bn.
Multiple shipbuilding sources said it has signed a letter of intent for the series of 21,000-teu boxships with China’s reborn shipbuilder Hengli Heavy Industry.
One shipbuilding broker said the boxships would cost about $215m each, and they will be delivered from 2027.
