China Shipbuilding Trading, a subsidiary of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), has held a naming ceremony for the final vessel of a series of ten 7,000 TEU containerships, reports offshore energy.

One Responsibility

The vessel, which now carries the name One Responsibility, boasts a length of 272 meters, a beam of 42,8 meters and a depth of 24,6 meters. It was reportedly designed by the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI). Canada’s shipping company Seaspan commissioned the ship while China’s Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding built it.

After signing a contract to build six 15,500 TEU large container ships in 2021, CSSC and Seaspan continued the cooperation on further projects, involving ten 7,000 TEU boxships, six 10,800-car pure cure, truck carriers (PCTCs), as well as six more 16,600 TEU container vessels, CSSC highlighted.

In October this year, containership lessor Seaspan Corporation, headquartered in Hong Kong, placed an order for six eco-friendly boxships at CSSC’s subsidiary, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding. As understood, Hudong-Zhonghua independently developed and designed the 13,600 TEU vessels. Their delivery date is between 2026 and 2028.
