        瑞士地中海航运（MSC）与中国造船厂就建造12艘全新液化天然气双燃料集装箱船签订协议。

 

        据船舶经纪公司Intermodal Shipbrokers表示，地中海航运（MSC)对新造船舶的需求量极大，已在江苏熔盛重工下单了8艘集装箱船。此外，该协议还囊括4艘其他船舶。

 

        这些12000TEU船舶的每艘单价预计为1.7亿美元，使得该订单的累计价值可超过20亿美元。但这些船舶的具体交付日期尚未披露。

 

        据Alphaliner最新更新的全球100大集装箱班轮公司运力排名显示，地中海航运（MSC）几乎达到620万TEUs。作为世界上最大规模的集装箱航运公司，地中海航运（MSC）旗下享有总共866艘集装箱船，其中573艘为自有船舶。

 

        该排名进一步显示了瑞士航运巨头地中海航运（MSC）目前有131艘集装箱船订单，相当于190万TEUs的运力。

 

        去年，地中海航运（MSC）成为首家船队运力突破500TEUs的海运服务商，在近一年的时间里，其船队运力从400TEUs增长到500TEUs。

 

        作为其船队扩张战略中的一环，地中海航运（MSC）决定投资18艘以液化天然气为动力的全新集装箱船。相关协议已同2家中国造船厂——上海外高桥造船有限公司（SWS）和蓬莱中柏京鲁船业有限公司，分别针对19000TEU和11500TEU的船舶签订。这些船舶预计将在2027至2028年间交付。

 

        最近，该公司迎来了由中国船舶集团（CSSC）旗下子公司大连船舶重工（DSIC）建造的8艘16000TEU中的首艘船舶。这艘名为MSC Maria Cristina的船舶已配备了13000立方米的B型液化天然气燃料舱，它被称之为世界上最大的同类燃料舱。

 

        注：按照国际海事规则的分类，B型舱是部分次屏蔽的独立型液货舱。

MSC books 8+4 LNG dual-fuel containerships at Chinese yard

 

Swiss shipping major MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has signed a deal with a Chinese shipyard for the construction of up to twelve new liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel containerships.

 

MSC’s enormous appetite for newbuildings has continued with an order placed at the reborn shipyard Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries for eight firm boxships. Moreover, the contract includes the option for four more ships, as reported by Intermodal Shipbrokers.

 

The price tag for the 12,000 TEU vessels is believed to be $170 million each, bringing the cumulative value of the deal to more than $2 billion. The delivery dates were not disclosed.

 

The latest update of the league table published by Alphaliner, the Top 100, shows that MSC reached almost 6.2 million TEUs. The world’s largest container shipping company now controls a total of 866 containerships, out of which it now owns 573 vessels.

 

The table further shows that the Swiss shipping giant has 131 containerships on order, which represent 1.9 million TEUs of capacity.

 

Last year, MSC emerged as the first ocean carrier to surpass a staggering 5 million TEUs in fleet capacity, growing its fleet from 4 million TEUs to 5 million TEUs in almost a year.

 

As part of its fleet expansion strategy, the shipowner recently decided to invest in 18 new containerships, all to be powered by liquefied natural gas. The contracts, signed with two Chinese yards, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) and Penglai Jinglu, include 19,000 TEU and 11,500 TEU ships, respectively. The units are slated for delivery between 2027 and 2028.

 

Recently, the company welcomed the first in a series of eight 16,000 TEU dual-fuel containerships built by China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC), a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). The ship, MSC Maria Cristina, has been fitted with a 13,000 cbm type B liquefied natural gas fuel tank, dubbed the ‘biggest of its kind’ in the world’.
