Container line Evergreen is planning a significant expansion of its fleet, says an article published in Ship&Bunker.
Fleet Expansion
Container line Evergreen is planning a significant expansion of its fleet, adding 15,000 TEU vessels from multiple sources.
The company is planning to order ten 15,000 TEU ships from multiple sources.
According to Alphaliner, Evergreen is also planning to charter another ten from non operating owners, shipping intelligence service.
Current order book
Evergreen’s current orderbook already has 468,000 TEU of added capacity planned, and the new orders would take that figure to 768,000 TEU, more than twice the size of the pipeline for competitors MSC, CMA CGM and COSCO Group, Alphaliner said.
The company’s plan for its new ships to be conventionally fuelled or gas-powered is yet to be revealed. In the past Evergreen has taken delivery of several ships equipped with scrubbers.
