Taiwan’s TS Lines has returned to China's state-owned CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding for more containership newbuildings.
The liner company has ordered up to four 1,900-teu feederships. The deal is for two firm vessels plus two options, according to market sources.
A TS Lines executive confirmed the containership order but declined to disclose details.
The TS Lines newbuildings will be fitted with scrubbers and the company is paying about $23m per ship, industry sources told TradeWinds.
