Evergreen signs order for ten 2,800-TEU ships from Japanese shipbuilder Imabari
JAPAN's largest shipbuilder, Imabari Shipbuilding, has received an order for ten 2,800-TEU class B-type vessels from Taiwan's Evergreen Group.
The first ship is scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2018 with the completion of the series scheduled for the first half of 2019.
These ships are in addition to the order for ten similar vessels announced last month from CSBC in Taiwan. All 20 newbuildings are planned to operate intra-Asia services, reported Daily Shipping News.
The agreement for B-type vessels is the third project in which Imabari will participate in Evergreen Line's fleet renewal programme.
The shipping line has signed agreements with Shoei Kisen Kaisha, the ship owning arm of Imabari Shipbuilding Group, to charter five 14,000-TEU containerships to be delivered in 2017 and eleven 18,000-TEU vessels to be delivered in 2018 and 2019.
The B-type vessels will be 211 metres in length, 32.8 metres wide, and have a design draft of 10 metres. The ships are designed to load 13 rows of containers on deck, which is within the span of existing gantry cranes in the major ports on the intra-Asian trade.
The B-type ships are also equipped with various environmental protection devices and the latest technology to safeguard the sustainable development of the marine environment, including an electronic-controlled fuel injection engine that can reduce emissions by 20 per cent in comparison with vessels of traditional designs.
