UASC takes on two new 9,000 TEU newbuildings from Singapore's Asiatic Lloyd
THE United Arab Shipping Co (UASC) has chartered two 9,034-TEU newbuildings from Singapore-based non-operating owner Asiatic Lloyd.
The two wide beam neopanamax containerships, Asiatic Spring and Asiatic Summer, were recently delivered by the Hyundai Samho shipyard, and are anchored at Busan awaiting their new assignment in October, reports Alphaliner.
UASC will deploy these two ships on the FE-West Med AMC 1/AMX 1 service jointly operated with CSCL. This service is to be upgraded with 9,000-9,500 TEU ships replacing UASC's 6,918 TEU class units, which are in turn to be shifted to the Indian subcontinent / MEUSEC Mina service.
The move comes ahead of the planned Ocean Three arrangement forged by CMA CGM, CSCL and UASC to cooperate on the FE-Europe and FE-North America trades.
