Hanwha Ocean has secured a roughly 1.5 trillion won order for six LNG dual-fuel container ships from Taiwan’s Yang Ming Marine Transport, extending a shipbuilding relationship with the carrier.
The 13,650-TEU vessels will be built at Hanwha Ocean’s Geoje shipyard and delivered in stages by the second half of 2029. They will use the shipbuilder’s independently developed manganese-steel Type-B LNG fuel tanks and hull optimization technology.
The contract comes one year after Yang Ming ordered seven 15,880-TEU LNG dual-fuel container ships from Hanwha Ocean in September last year. Following an order for three very large gas carriers from an Oceania-based shipowner on the 1st, Hanwha Ocean has won orders worth 2.0305 trillion won this week alone.
