en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hong Kong-based Baozhou Shipping is expanding its container fleet, having ordered up to four 2,700 TEU feeder vessels at a Chinese shipyard. The shipowner has placed orders for two firm vessels and two option vessels through Zhejiang Tenglong Shipbuilding, with construction undertaken by Zhejiang Yangfan Shipbuilding. The firm vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2028.

This move reflects sustained demand for regional container vessels, which continues to support the newbuilding market. Baozhou Shipping maintains a low profile among major intra-Asia carriers. Over the past year, the 2,700 TEU segment has become one of the most active sectors in container ship newbuilding.

Chinese shipyards have secured a significant share of such orders, including Huangpu Wenchong, Yangzhou Guoyu, Taizhou Sanfu, and several private shipyards, with delivery schedules extending into 2028 and beyond.

Financial details of the Baozhou order have not been disclosed. Recent contracts for vessels of similar size indicate a unit price of around $45 million, depending on specifications.
