Boxship newbuild orderbook nears 10m teu as focus switches to smaller vessels
- Newbuilding orderbook for containerships looks set to pass 10m teu soon, should optional vessels be declared
- The feeder boxship and regional boxship segments have dominated ordering activity lately as focus shifts away from larger vessels
- Most orders for feeder vessels have been placed by Greek tonnage providers and are backed by time charters to leading liner operators
Over 60 containerships alone were ordered in July, with the majority being of between 1,800 teu and 4,000 teu
