Seaspan continues fleet diversification strategy with open-hatch cargoship newbuilding order
- The Singapore-headquartered shipowner has contracted four open-hatch gantry-crane ships for delivery in 2028 and 2029
- All four newbuildings are backed by long-term time charter agreements, in common with all Seaspan newbuilding contracts
Seaspan focused on the containership sector until late 2023, when it signed newbuilding contracts for six vehicle carriers. Last year, the company was linked to orders for up to six ethane carriers
