TAIWAN's Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp says it has secured charter agreements with Shoei Kisen Kaisha for five 11,000-TEUers and another five 12,000-TEUers from Costamare.
The vessels are to be delivered from the second quarter 2020 through to the third quarter the following year, reports Bunkerspot of Adderbury, Oxfordshire.
Said the Yang Ming statement: "With respect to the enforcement of the upcoming IMO rule in 2020 concerning environmental protection, the vessels are designed in compliance with the regulations calling for efficient bunker consumption."
The chartered newbuilds will emit less carbon, use fuel oil containing limited sulphur, and will be equipped with a more efficient ballast water treatment system, said the company.
Yang Ming operates a fleet of 106 containerships of 600,000 TEU. To reduce operating costs and mitigate the environmental impact of older ships, the company has an ongoing fleet renewal programme to replace such ships upon the expiry of their charter agreements.
