Capital Maritime & Trading has added another three feeder containerships to its orderbook at South Korea's Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD).

The Ulsan-based shipyard confirmed the addition of the 1,800-teu gearless newbuildings but did not disclose the shipowner behind the deal.

Shipbuilding sources said Greek shipowner Evangelos Marinakis' privately owned Capital Maritime is behind the latest additions.

They added that Capital Maritime booked the trio by exercising options it held at HMD from a July order for three firm 1,800-teu boxships.
