Maersk Line has secured a price cut on the world’s most expensive containership newbuildings, TradeWinds has learned.
A $100m reduction in its bill with DSME has come to light in a week that saw the Danish owner’s “Triple-E” vessels lose the title of the world’s largest boxships.
Maersk Line ordered its 18,000-teu Triple-Es at a huge $190m each in early 2011.
It is now paying a shade over $185m for each of the vessels after negotiating a reduction with the yard, a spokesperson for parent AP Moller-Maersk confirms.
