CLC Newbuildings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Contships Logistics Corp., has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Hubei Guangji Green Energy Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. for the construction of 30 next-generation 1,300 TEU container vessels, 10 firm, with options for an additional 10 + 10 vessels.

The vessels will be based on the “ContshipMax CV1300” design, developed in cooperation with SDARI, featuring 1,324 TEU capacity, 340 reefer plugs, high operational flexibility and significantly improved fuel consumption and emissions efficiency, within dimensions specifically optimised for the global feeder trades.

The vessels will be equipped with a Tier III Mitsubishi Main Engines, advanced low-pressure SCR technology, Daihatsu Generators, shaft-generator and energy-saving devices, creating a modern and efficient platform designed for reliability, reduced environmental impact and the increasingly demanding requirements of global feeder operations.

The vessels will be constructed at Hubei Guangji Green Energy Shipbuilding Group’s new-generation shipyard, combining modern automated production facilities with the strategic partnership of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding & Offshore Project Management Co., Ltd. The cooperation combines Contships’ extensive experience in the feeder-container sector, and a modern Chinese shipyard supported by one of China’s leading shipbuilders.

This newbuilding programme represents a significant step in Contships’ long-term fleet renewal strategy and its continued commitment to investing in efficient, modern tonnage for the global container feeder sector.
