MSC expands megamax newbuilding programme

MSC has reportedly ordered six additional LNG dual-fuel containerships from Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard, according to DynaLiners. Each vessel will have a capacity of 21,700 TEU. The latest agreement increases MSC’s programme for this vessel type at the Chinese shipyard to 30 ships. The vessels are expected to be delivered during 2029 and 2030. The wider series includes nine ships that MSC originally contracted as 19,000 TEU units.
