Broker reports say A.P. Moller-Maersk has chosen Hudong-Zhonghua over Hengli Heavy Industry for 12 firm plus 12 option 24,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel containerships at about 240 million dollars each, which would be the largest ships the carrier has ever ordered.
Hengli Heavy Industry says it has signed agreements with several international container lines for 52 ultra-large dual-fuel boxships - 20 x 19,000 TEU, 12 x 22,000 TEU and 20 x 24,000 TEU - a package estimated at more than $11 billion, with MSC and Maersk believed to anchor an orderbook that keeps the Chinese yard's container-ship backlog the world's largest.
