Yangzijiang Shipbuilding bags container feeders contract for $77.75m

The design of these feeders will give priority to loading capacity over speed.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has inked a shipbuilding contract for four 1,000TEU container feeders worth a total of $77.75m (RMB392m), a press release revealed.

The container feeders measure 139.9 meters in length, 25 meters in width and eight meters in draft, which is said to take into consideration the water and shape conditions of several major ports in Zhejiang Province.

Compared to ocean liners, the design of these feeders will give priority to loading capacity over speed. With a maximum loading capacity of 15,000 tons, the 1,000TEU feeder significantly reduces fuel consumption per unit.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
