The Maritime Executive reports that HMM has ordered eight 13,000-TEU containerships from HD Hyundai. It puts the contract value at US$1.42 billion and says deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2029.

Two ships are assigned to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan and six to HD Hyundai Samho in Yeongam, according to the report. The vessels are specified with dual-fuel propulsion for LNG and conventional marine fuel.

This report adds the shipbuilder, yard allocation and propulsion details to HMM’s previously announced fleet-investment programme. It also reports agreements for four feeder vessels; these are separate from the eight newbuildings.
