Greek owner Danaos Corp is said to have inked an order worth more than $400m for four 9,000-teu container ships with a Chinese shipyard.
The New York-listed owner placed the order for conventionally-fuelled vessels with Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co, sources said.
The ships are said to be costing about $105m each or well over $400m in total.
They are slated for delivery in 2027 and early 2028, according to broking and analyst reports.
