Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) is behind an order for four conventionally fuelled ultra-large containerships at Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.
Shipbuilding sources said China Development Bank Financial Leasing (CDB Leasing) and Seaspan Corp each signed up for two 24,000-teu newbuildings on the back of long-term charters to the Geneva-based liner player.
TradeWinds is told that MSC has chartered 10 ULC newbuildings to be constructed at Chinese shipyards from three separate companies.
