History

[edit]

The order for the first 15 ships was announced in 2013. The ships would be chartered from Seaspan Corporation for a length of 10 years. Ten of the ships would be built by Hyundai Heavy Industries and the remaining five would be built by CSBC Corporation, Taiwan.[2] The first ship was delivered in 2015.

In 2015 Yang Ming ordered another 5 container ships. This time the ships would be built by Imabari Shipbuilding and they would be chartered from Shoei Kisen Kaisha.[3]
