The shipbuilding deal entails four 5,300 TEU vessels, scheduled for delivery in 2028.
The price for each containership is about $61.2 million, according to Greek shipbroker Intermodal.
Last year, TS Lines also placed an order for a boxship quartet, including two methanol-powered units, at another CSSC subsidiary, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS).
The methanol-powered containerships will boast a capacity of 14,000 TEUs and be equipped with multiple desulfurization, carbon reduction, energy-saving, and drag reduction devices, which are expected to optimize rapidity and reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption.
