MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company’s appetite for newbuildings continues unabated, with the company spending about $1.3bn on 10 LNG dual-fuelled neo-panamax container ships.
The Gianluigi Aponte-controlled organisation has returned to China’s Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard to order the 10,300-teu vessels to be delivered between the second half of 2026 and 2027.
The deal lifts the total number of container ship newbuildings MSC has on order at Zhoushan Changhong to 20.
