Taiwanese shipping firm Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation (Yang Ming) on Thursday (17 July) said it has approved the order of seven 15,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel containerships from South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean.
Following the completion of contract procedures, these vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2029. The newbuildings will replace aging vessels and advance Yang Ming’s strategic development.
“To strengthening its core container shipping business, meeting global trade demand and economic growth, and providing customers with comprehensive and efficient transportation services, Yang Ming is actively enhancing fleet competitiveness and aligning with global GHG reduction trends,” the company said on its website.
“The adoption of dual-fuel solutions for the 15,000 TEU vessels, alongside the five LNG dual-fuel containerships scheduled for delivery beginning in 2026, will ensure stable service on East-West routes while achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions compared to traditional fuel.”
