Maersk <\/strong>orders LNG ships from China shipyard: <\/strong>Danish shipping giant Maersk has reportedly ordered eight LNG dual-fuel containerships \u2014 each for roughly USD 193 mn \u2014 from Jiangsu-based New Times Shipbuilding with options for four more, Splash247<\/a> reports, citing information from brokers. The vessels \u2014 a capacity of 18k TEU each\u2014 are expected to be delivered between 2028 and 2029. Maersk officials have not confirmed the orders.<\/p>\n

Maersk + China strike again: <\/strong>Maersk ordered<\/a> six LNG dual-fuel vessels from Chinese shipyards, including New Times Shipbuilding last year. Each ship had a capacity of 16k TEU and was valued at USD 200 mn per unit, slated for delivery in 2028. The contract also included the option for six more vessels. <\/p>\n

China on the global maritime stage: <\/strong>Chinese shipbuilding orders declined<\/a> 68% y-o-y to 26 mn deadweight tonnage (DWT) in 1H 2025, following fears over US fees on Chinese-built ships stopping in US ports. Meanwhile, shippers like Maersk were reportedly angling to diversify away from China<\/a> in terms of vessels and routes. With the dreaded levy on Chinese ships paused<\/a> for one year\u2014 as well as a reciprocal levy on US-made vessels \u2014 the shipping industry\u2019s outlook on Chinese-made vessels remains uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
