Seaspan Corporation has expanded its newbuilding pipeline with an order for two 11,800 teu containerships at China’s Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. The deal was disclosed as part of a wider $440m package of eight vessel contracts announced by Yangzijiang to the Singapore Exchange. The new orders take the yard’s 2025 intake to 44 ships worth $1.9bn. Seaspan’s latest move cements its long-standing ties with Yangzijiang and adds to a string of recent big-ticket newbuildings placed at Chinese yards. Earlier this year, the Bing Chen-led owner booked twelve 9,000 teu ships at Hudong-Zhonghua and Shanghai Waigaoqiao, with deliveries from 2028. Seaspan, part of Atlas Corp, is the world’s largest containership lessor with a fleet of more than 180 vessels in the water and over 40 on order. The two new 11,800 teu units at Yangzijiang are scheduled to deliver between 2027 and 2029. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsCanada Hong Kong Singapore
