Taiwan’s Wan Hai Lines is awarding $804m-worth of containership contracts to two Asian shipyards.
Industry sources said the carrier is in the process of finalising an order with Japan Marine United (JMU) to construct a series of 2,800-teu boxships, as well as an order at China's Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding for 1,800-teu Bangkokmax feederships.
JMU is getting the bigger slice of the contract, valued at around $480m.
