Shanghai Bestway to design 4,000 teu containership
Shanghai Bestway Marine Engineering Design has entered an agreement with Shanghai Shipyard on the design of 4,000 teu domestic containerships.

Shanghai Bestway said the design will be customised for the containership to sail in China’s domestic waters on a north-south route.

The boxship will measure 210 metres in length and 37.28 metres in breadth with a speed of 14 knots.

“The hulls of the ship will be designed to reduce operating costs and the vessel will be incorporated with environmentally friendly features,” Shanghai Bestway said in a statement.

Shanghai Bestway, a ship design firm listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, has developed more than 500 ship types since its establishment in 2001.
