MSC has significantly expanded its orderbook, according to DynaLiners, by upsizing six previously ordered 19,000 TEU vessels at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding to 22,000 TEU and adding four more ships of the same size. These ten units are scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2028.
In addition, MSC has exercised two options from its April 2025 order at Hengli Heavy Industry for 22,000 TEU vessels, with delivery expected in 2029.
The company is also reported to have signed for six more LNG/dual-fuel 21,700 TEU containerships from Zhoushan Changhong International Shipyard, adding to the four ordered in February. It is further understood that MSC has upgraded eight of twelve vessels in a separate batch, details of which are still emerging.
