Mega containership deliveries are continuing after SEASPAN took delivery of the 10,010-TEU Hanjin Tabul, the fifth of seven sister containerships ordered in June 2011 from Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.
The ownership of the seven ships is split between Seaspan, with three ships, and Greater China Intermodal Investments with four ships, and has the backing of firm ten-year charters from Hanjin Shipping with options for two more years, reported Alphaliner.
Seaspan and its Marshall-based investment vehicle, GCI, have another 14 sister ships on order, of which ten are backed by MOL charters while no charterer has been named for the last four vessels, to be delivered in 2016.
The newbuilding has joined the Mediterranean-Asia-US west coast 'PM 1' pendulum service.
She follows the Hanjin Ami delivered to GCI in early June. The last two Hanjin sister ships are scheduled for delivery in the first half of next year, according to Shipping Gazette.
