The ships will be built by South Korea's HJ Shipbuilding & Construction (formerly Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co.) which will deliver them between May 2023 and February 2024.
Meanwhile, the Thai shipping company Regional Container Lines (RCL) has announced the purchase of two new 12,000-teu container carriers that will be ceded by the Panamanian Giant Line, a company of Japan's Kyosei Kisen KK, and by the Japanese shipyard Nihon Shipyard.
