ONE plan to build 10 Neo-Panamax Container Ship

Shipping Network on March 21, according to foreign media reports, Japan Ocean Network (ONE) will build 10 Neo-Panamax container ships, with a total value expected to exceed 1.6 billion US dollars. Japan’s Imabari Shipbuilding and South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries each received orders for five ships.

In February this year, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding, Imabari Shipbuilding, and China Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding and Jiangnan Shipbuilding were shortlisted for the ONE 13,000 TEU newbuilding project. At present, ONE has signed letters of intent with shipyards in Japan and South Korea.

It is worth mentioning that these ships will use traditional fuels and be equipped with desulfurization towers. However, the ability to upgrade to LNG dual-fuel power will also be reserved.

ONE chose traditional fuels because the company plans to launch ships in South America, where LNG bunkering infrastructure is relatively underdeveloped.

Given the current state of the shipbuilding market, each vessel is expected to cost $160 million, according to people familiar with the matter.

In addition, according to the shipping network, ONE has also leased 10 7,000TEU container ships from Seaspan. The ships are currently being built at Waigaoqiao Shipyard and will be delivered in 2024.

According to the latest data from Alphaliner, as of March 21, ONE operated a total of 208 ships with a total capacity of 1.528 million TEU.

In addition to building new ships, ONE recently announced that it will add 6,500 refrigerated containers to meet the growing demand for refrigerated transportation trade.

ONE将造10艘新巴拿马型集装箱船

航运界网3月21日消息，据外媒报道，日本海洋网联船务（ONE）将建造10艘新巴拿马型集装箱船，总价值预计超过16亿美元。

日本今治造船(Imabari Shipbuilding)和韩国船厂现代重工各获5艘船订单。

今年2月，现代重工、大宇造船、今治造船以及中国沪东中华造船和江南造船入围ONE 13000 TEU新造船项目的候选名单。目前，ONE已经与日本和韩国的船厂签署了意向书。

值得一提的是，这批船将采用传统燃料，并配备脱硫塔。不过，也将预留升级为LNG双燃料动力的能力。

ONE之所以选择传统燃料，是因为该公司计划将船舶投放在南美地区，而该地区的LNG加注基础设施相对落后。

知情人士透露，鉴于当前的造船市场行情，每艘船预计将耗资1.6亿美元。

此外，据航运界网了解，ONE还从塞斯潘手中长租10艘7000TEU集装箱船。这些船目前在外高桥造船厂建造，将于2024年交付。

Alphaliner最新数据显示，截至3月21日，ONE共运营208艘船，总运力152.8万TEU。

除了造新船，ONE近日还宣布将新增6500个冷藏集装箱，以满足日益增长的冷藏运输贸易需求。
