The newbuilding feeder vessel is scheduled for delivery in early 2017.

The eco-friendly vessel will be designed for easy entry into the draft-restricted port of Bangkok in Thailand, according to Dae Sun Shipyard.

The latest order followed a previous order of six similar feeder-size container vessels earlier this year by Dongjin Shipping, after the yard delivered the first of the six 1,000 teu ships last month.
