Evangelos Marinakis' privately owned Capital Maritime & Trading has penned a newbuilding contract worth $96m with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD).
Shipbuilding sources identified the owner as behind an order for three 1,800-teu boxships that Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) disclosed earlier this week.
The deal lifts to nine the total number of 1,800-teu newbuildings the outfit has booked at HMD.
