Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding has received four orders for another 7,000TEU container ships, bringing the total number of orders received so far this year to 12.
The "pioneer" of China's construction of super large container ships began to seize the market of medium-sized ships.
Sea Consortium has confirmed the completion of an alternative order for four new 7,000TEU container ships in Waigaoqiao. The new ships will be built using conventional fuels at a cost of US $73 million each, with a total price of US $292 million.
The latest order for four ships was signed on May 1, with delivery scheduled for 2024, according to Clarkson.
Sea Consortium initially signed the contract with Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding on April 23 to build four 7,000TEU container ships. It is the first time that Sea Consortium has ordered a ship at a shipyard owned by China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
These ships are designed by SDARI, this series ship has a length of 272.5 meters, a width of 42.8 meters, and a structural draft of 14.55 meters. It meets the requirements of EEDI Phase Ⅲ and has the performance advantages of high efficiency and energy saving.
Sea Consortium is part of the world's third-largest single operator of reefer container ships, the Singapore-based X-Press Feeders, which was founded in 1972 and has a fleet of more than 130 vessels.
So far, Waigaoqiao has secured 12 orders for 7,000TEU container ships this year. On July 6, Waigaoqiao and T.S. Lines signed a "cloud contract" for the construction of four 7,000TEU container ships, worth more than $300 million. This is also the largest container ship order since the establishment of T.S. Lines. The new ships will be delivered in 2024.
