Singapore-based tonnage provider OM Maritime is considering an order for 7,000 teu container ships to be built at Chinese shipyards. Several liner operators and tonnage providers have been showing interest in 7,000 teu ships says an article on The Loadstar.
Order for 7,000 teu container ships
The company’s managing director, Subhangshu Dutt, told The Loadstar, “We have been considering ordering some 7,000 teu ships but no decision has been taken yet. If we do so, it will be for long-term charter to third-party operators.”
Operators show interest in 7,000 teu ships
Several liner operators and tonnage providers have been showing interest in 7,000 teu ships, which are commonly deployed to mid-haul lanes such as Far East-Persian Gulf, Far East-South Asia, and Far East-Australia/New Zealand. These lanes have been neglected by mainline operators, due to much higher freight rates on the longer-haul Asia-Europe and transpacific routes.
