China’s Bank of Communications Financial Leasing Co (BCLC) has returned to DSME for more mega containerships.

The Chinese leasing company has added two 19,000-teu units to its tally at the South Korean yard, lifting the total to five, according to sources. It previously booked three ships of 18,000 teu.

Sources say BCLC is paying more than $140m apiece for the latest duo, slightly more than the earlier vessels, which were said to be costing $140m each.
