Wan Hai Lines has secured Japanese state-backed export funding for a series of eight 3,036-teu boxships that it ordered at Japan Marine United (JMU) in November 2018.

The funding has come from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), a part government sponsored bank established to promote Japanese exports. It is co-financed by Citibank, through its Tokyo Branch, with export insurance provided by Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI).
