SITC to build four 1,800 teu boxships at CSBC
Intra-Asia container carrier SITC has confirmed contracts to build four 1,800 teu boxships at Taiwanese shipyard CSBC Corporation at a total cost of $95.2m.

The new container vessels are scheduled to be delivered in phases from 31 May to 31 October 2015.

“The construction will enable the company to expand its self-owned fleet of container vessels to meet the increase in demand for the company's services,” Hong Kong-listed SITC said.

The company added that the price tags for the newbuildings are “fair and reasonable”.
