An 11,000-teu container ship newbuilding, to be operated by Taiwanese operator Yang Ming Marine Transport, has won funding from a new ship-finance partnership between two Japanese regional banks.
Ehime Bank and the Yamaguchi Financial Group have combined to provide ¥10.5bn ($92.1m) to finance the newbuilding.
The funding has been split evenly, with each bank providing ¥5.25bn.
