TAIWAN'S containerline Wan Hai has placed an order at South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries for four containerships worth between US$474 million and $500 million.
The four 13,100 TEU ships are scheduled to start delivering from the second quarter of 2023. The deal includes potential equipment upgrades on the vessels.
"This new shipbuilding contract is the latest fleet upsizing plan to ensure the company's vessels stay competitive and to support continuous market development," Wan Hai said in a statement.
