Container shipping has another yard it can contract for megamax construction. MSC knows the yard well, having earlier contracted it to build 20 ships ranging in size from 10,300 to 11,500 teu. Plenty more MSC orders are expected to be confirmed in China soon. MB Shipbroking, formerly known as Maersk Broker, is reporting that Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries, once China’s biggest private shipyard, is to reopen with MSC as one of its first clients. MSC is also reported to have signed up for ten 21,000 teu LNG dual fuel ships at Jiangsu Hantong with delivery from its new drydock starting from the second half of 2027 through 2028.
