Taiwan-based container shipping line Yang Ming has signed a contract with South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries for five 15,500 TEU LNG dual fuel container vessels to be delivered in 2026.

The vessels will be equipped with high-pressure LNG dual fuel main engine and ballast water treatment system to meet environmental regulations, and will feature advanced integrated systems for navigational information and operation monitoring.
