Euroseas returns at Hyundai Mipo for three feeder boxships

The Greek container vessel owner and operator Euroseas has signed a contract for the construction of three 1,800 TEU eco-design fuel efficient feeder container ships.

The vessels will be built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. in South Korea and are scheduled to be delivered during the first half of 2024, one in the first and two in the second quarter of the year.

“We are pleased to announce the ordering of three modern LNG-ready eco-design containerships of 1,800 TEU capacity each in one of the best quality shipbuilders in the world, the same yard where our previous orders for four 2,800 TEU vessels were placed,” commented Aristides Pittas, chairman and CEO of Euroseas.

The total consideration for the construction of the three vessels is approximately US$102 million which the company intends to finance with a combination of debt and equity.

Pittas stated, “In a quite turbulent and uncertain economic and geopolitical environment, we remain very optimistic about the prospects of the container market. We look forward to welcoming all our seven newbuildings into our fleet over the next two and half years creating a fleet line-up focused on the most commercial sizes of the feeder sector.”
