Courageous by the danger of extra overcapacity, MSC has requested a further ten 24,000 teu LNG double fuelled vessels from China’s Hengli Weighty Industry shipyard, reports The Loadstar.
Development
MSC has had an unquenchable craving for armada development lately and presently has an armada limit of 6.27m teu, of which possessed weight makes up 3.07m, in addition to an orderbook of some 2.13m teu, including the present request.
As of now with limit offsetting that of the Gemini Union and Sea Coalition, MSC’s orderbook alone is an awe-inspiring phenomenon. As Lars Jensen, Chief of Vespucci Sea, featured today: if the MSC orderbook were a transporter, it would be the world’s 6th biggest, simply behind Hapag-Lloyd.
Due to be conveyed in 2028, these ten newbuilds will add to the ten 21,000 teu LNG-fuelled ships requested from Hengli in September the 12 19,000 teu vessels requested in August from Zhoushan Changhong shipyard.
Containership overcapacity
As indicated by computations by shipbroker Braemar, uncovered for this present week, the storm of new conveyances attacking the market will carry containership overcapacity to 7%-8% one year from now – net of the Cape of Good Expectation redirections.
Braemar had anticipated overcapacity would arrive at 12%-13% this year, yet that was before the Cape redirections carried this down to 3%-4%. Be that as it may, on the off chance that the circumstance in the Red Ocean were to be suddenly settled one year from now, the weight shade would be disastrous for shipowners.
