According to a filing with the stock exchange, Evergreen’s board has approved an order for five LNG dual-fuel containerships with a capacity of 24,000 teu.
China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) will build these vessels.
Evergreen said the container vessels will each cost between $262 million and $295 million.
This put the total price between $1.31 billion and $1.475 billion.
Evergreen did not provide further details.
In November last year, Evergreen confirmed an order for 14 LNG dual-fuel container vessels, each with a capacity of 14,000 teu.
South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries and GSI will build these vessels worth up to $2.87 billion.
Prior to this order, GSI also won an order for five LNG dual-fuel vessels, along with the first batch of Hanwha vessels.
The February 2025 order was the first order for LNG dual-fuel vessels for Evergreen, which has previously mainly focused on ordering methanol-powered ships.
Most recently, Evergreen Marine announced that it will spend up to $1.77 billion on a new order for six LNG dual-fuel container vessels at South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean.
These six vessels also have a capacity of 24,000 teu.
