Hanwha Ocean bags large container ship deal from Yang Ming Marine
The deal involves seven 15,880 TEU large container vessels.
Hanwha Ocean has secured an order worth $1.37b (KRW 1.934t) from Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp.
In a statement, Hanwha Ocean said deal covers seven 15,880 TEU large container vessels.
“These vessels will be equipped with LNG dual-fuel propulsion engines as standard and designed with Ammonia DF Ready specifications to meet tightening international environmental regulations,” the company said.
“Notably, they will feature the world’s first Type-B LNG fuel tank with a design pressure of 1.0 bar, enabling safer and longer storage of boil-off gas,” it added.
This advancement enhances both operational efficiency and environmental performance by reducing unnecessary gas flaring and penalty risks during port stays, whilst also delivering tangible benefits for shipowners.
