Seaspan orders six new boxships
Company adds to already record-breaking order book.
In a continued effort to keep up with carriers’ demands for more capacity, Seaspan has ordered another six new containerships.
The company entered into an agreement with a “major shipyard” for six of the 15,000 teu boxships and expects to take delivery of the first in the first quarter of 2024.
“Our customers continue to recognize the added value of our fully-integrated platform,” said Bing Chen, Chairman, President and CEO of Seaspan, commenting on the latest newbuilds.
“This order further highlights our differentiated services, operational excellence, and ability to implement solutions tailored to our customer’s changing requirements.”
While the company does not generally disclose which customers it is placing orders for, Seaspan works with many of the major carriers, including Maersk, MSC, COSCO, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd and ONE.
