Following the first order in 2019, Hudong Zhonghua won another order for the world's largest 24,000TEU container ship from Evergreen, further consolidating its leading position in the field of ultra-large container ship construction.
On June 18, Hudong Zhonghua, China Shipbuilding Trading and Evergreen signed a contract for the construction of two 24000TEU container ships.
In November 2019, Evergreen ordered 4 24000-TEU container ships with CSSC, which is the world's largest container ship with the largest container capacity. Hudong Zhonghua took over two of them and assumed the important task of constructing the first ship. This is the first time that Evergreen has ordered an ultra-large container ship at a mainland shipyard. In addition to Hudong Zhonghua, the other two ships were built by Jiangnan.
The 24000TEU container ship ordered by Evergreen is currently the world's largest container ship. It is built in accordance with TIER III specifications.
In recent years, Evergreen has continued to order ships and will enter the peak period of newbuilding delivery starting in 2020, seizing market opportunities and becoming a major driving force for operational growth.
