As part of a major fleet expansion plan, German shipping giant HAPAG LLOYD confirmed orders for 24 liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel containerships with two Chinese shipyards – Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group and New Times Shipbuilding, which will build twelve vessels each.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group will build 22 vessels with a 16,800 TEU capacity, and 12 from New Times Shipbuilding Company Ltd., each with a 9,200 TEU capacity.
Aligning with Hapag-Lloyd’s Strategy 2030, the newbuilds will be equipped with high-pressure liquefied gas dual-fuel engines that can operate on biomethane, which offers up to 95% reduction in CO2e emissions over conventional engines.
