Japanese boxship giant ONE could order six 20,000-teu vessels due to low yard prices.

This is according to the venture's president for Japan, Takafumi Kido, who was cited by the Eworldship website.

He said: “We now have six 20,000-teu vessels, and we may also order another six ships of the same class.”

Kido added that as long as the price is right, the group will consider new orders.
