Turkey’s Arkas Line has confirmed it has up-sized a series of containerships at China’s Ouhua Shipyard to eight.

The first in that series, the 2,500-TEU Funda A, was received on 12 January, the company said in a press release. Delivery of its sistership Lucien A is scheduled to follow in mid-March.

TradeWinds reported last month that Arkas had upsized an older order at Ouhua for a 2,500-TEU boxship quartet with another quartet of 3,100-TEU ships.
