Yangzijiang wins $198m containership order
Five firm and five optional orders for 3,500 teu containerships from a Japanese owner put the shipbuilder in a good position for the year. New orders secured so far this year have already surpassed those for the whole of 2019
The company has done well to gain significant new orders despite the depressed conditions this year and is on track to build up its orderbook further despite the current weak market. Yangzijiang has built up a track record of producing smaller, energy-efficient vessels are well-suited to the intra-regional trades and expedited shipping services now seeing greater demand amid recent trade tensions and the coronavirus outbreak
