HJ Shipbuilding & Construction (HJSC) bags a $240 billion contract with a European ship owner to build two 7,700 TEU dual-fuel LNG container vessels. The deal also includes an option for the construction of two more ships.
With this successful bid of two 7,700TEU container ships, the global shipbuilding company now has 8 container vessels to build.
The eco-friendly 7,700TEU LNG-powered containerships will measure 272 meters in length and will be able to travel at a speed of 22 knots.
The boxship design was approved by the British classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR) in April this year.
HJSC aims to build the container ships at its Yeongdo Shipyard, Busan and hand over in sequence, starting from late 2024.
