GERMANY's peter Dohle Schiffahrts has added to its box ship orderbook with up to five 8,400 TEU newbuilds in China, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
Shipbuilding sources say the Hamburg-based box ship and bulker owner and operator has contracted three firm and two optional vessels at CSSC Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI), paying between US$120 million and $125 million per vessel.
The newbuilds will feature LNG dual-fuel engines with deliveries scheduled between 2027 and 2028.
Last year, Peter Dohle, which claims control of more than 300 tramp-owned containerships, ordered four newbuilds at CSSC-affiliated Hudong-Zhonghua after a break of nearly nine years.
Those ships, costing about $150 million each, will have a capacity of 14,000 TEU, be scrubber-fitted, methanol-ready, and delivered in 2027.
