Maersk Lines Up Eight 18,000-TEU LNG Dual-Fuel Giants in China
Maersk has returned to New Times Shipbuilding (NTS) with an order for eight 18,000-TEU, LNG dual-fuel containerships, with options for four more. Brokers put the price near $193m per unit, with deliveries slated for 2028–2029. The move deepens Maersk’s bet on a multi-fuel transition (LNG today, potential for alternative fuels later) while refreshing post-Panamax capacity ahead of the next cycle. For shippers, the signal is twofold: big carriers are still adding efficient tonnage despite soft spot markets, and the Asia–Europe/TP capacity mix in the late 2020s will skew larger and greener.
