Evergreen Marine Corp has confirmed a much-anticipated order for 24 methanol dual-fuelled neo-panamax container vessels, albeit at a higher-than-expected cost.
The 16,000-teu container ships will cost between $180m and $210m each.
That puts the total price at a minimum of $4.32bn and possibly as high as $5.02bn, according to a filing to the Taiwanese stock exchange today.
