Evergreen has emerged as the biggest spender with a reported order of twenty-four 16,000 TEU containerships. According to Intermodal, the order has been spread between Samsung Heavy Industries, South Korea, and Japan’s Nihon Shipyard, with deliveries spread between 2026 and 2027.
The Taiwanese shipping firm is said to be paying around $4 billion for the newbuilds.
When approached for a confirmation, Evergreen did not want to comment on the query.
On the other hand, Maersk has been very transparent with its ordering activity. The company announced earlier this week that it has ordered six mid-sized container vessels with Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group.
