Taiwanese container shipping company Evergreen Marine Corporation has commissioned Chinese and South Korean shipyards to build a total of 14 LNG dual-fuel containerships in its latest fleet expansion move.
According to data from Greek shipbroker Intermodal, Evergreen’s order comprises 14 vessels with a 14,000 TEU capacity and dual-fuel LNG propulsion, each worth about $200 million.
The $2.8 billion order is split equally between China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) and South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI).
The ships are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2030.
The latest order mirrors Evergreen’s $3 billion contract from early 2025, which included eleven LNG dual-fuel vessels with a capacity of 24,000 TEUs, also split between Chinese and Korean yards.
