The post-panamax car carriers were ordered by Swedish shipowner Wallenius Lines, with an option for two more units.
Tianjin Xingang has previously focused on building mainstream vessel types such as bulk carriers. “With Deltamarin's assistance the yard managed to secure this new building contract of a more sophisticated vessel type,” Deltamarin said.
The vessels will have a capacity to carry 8,000 cars and are designed to offer improved fuel efficiency and ensure low environmental impact, according to Deltamarin.
