Early delivery slots in Asia are rare with one notable exception, Taiwan. CSBC, the island’s top shipbuilder, still has space to deliver ships as soon as next year, and Taiwan’s top two lines, Evergreen and Yang Ming, are in discussions for a number of feeder ships at the yard, whose facilities include one of the world’s largest drydocks. Alphaliner, citing various shipbroking sources, is reporting Yang Ming is after up to 15 feeders, while Evergreen is looking to contract for six ships. “Despite a strong track record, Taiwan’s CSBC was one of the yards that did not really profit from the past years’ container ship order wave, since it could not match the pricing offered by some Chinese and Korean yards,” Alphaliner noted in its most recent weekly report. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsEvergreen Taiwan Yang Ming
