Energy-saving boxship order from Lomar

Capacity is a nominal 2,190 TEU (14mt/TEU homogenous load of 1570 TEU). The design is by Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute, and is intended to offer high standards of fuel efficiency and environmental compliance. Lomar says that this investment restates its dedication to container shipping with renewals and additions to the fleet which benefit from the latest fuel-efficient designs, and follows the company’s order earlier this year for up to six new bulk carriers from COSCO Group. The order takes Lomar’s current fleet close to 50 vessels.
