The containerships will begin 18-year charters with a major liner customer, marking the second and third of five newbuild containerships in this class, the first having been delivered in October, each of which have been delivered two months ahead of schedule.

"These ahead of schedule deliveries further demonstrate Seaspan's operational excellence in containership design and construction under all market conditions," said Seaspan CEO Bing Chen.

"Seaspan continues to over deliver in servicing our customer needs against a backdrop of global undersupply of containerships. I am proud of our team for their consistent performance, and we remain steadfast in executing our quality growth." said Mr Chen.

Since November 2020, Seaspan has announced orders for 70 newbuild containerships, representing the addition of 839,000 TEU, adding US$11 billion of gross contracted cash flows, and bringing the fully delivered fleet to 1,959,200 TEU.
