Evergreen cancels shipbuilding orders with Korea's STX
TAIWAN'S Evergreen has terminated the negotiation with Korea's STX shipyard on an order for ten 8,000-TEU vessels signed in July.
But Evergreen is still looking to other shipbuilders to carry out new orders, reported American Shipper, adding that talks continue with Korea's Samsung and Taiwan's CSBC for an order of 20 containerships. Each will build ten 8,000-TEU ships for Evergreen with delivery starting in 2012 for Samsung and in 2013 for CSBC.
According to Japanese shipping newspaper Kaiji Press, Evergreen chairman YF Chang said that there was no need to hurry because the company might add orders.
The carrier has not ordered any new containerships since 2008. It is reported to have a larger orderbook for a total of thirty-two 8,000-TEU vessels.
