Belgium’s Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB)’s order for a dozen 6,000-teu container ship newbuildings at China’s Qingdao Yangfan Shipbuilding is facing delays and cancellation.
Multiple sources in the shipbuilding industry said that six midsize boxships that CMB ordered last year have been cancelled.
In addition, they said delivery of the first of six newbuildings that it inked in 2020 was also running behind schedule.
