Alphaliner reports that the global orderbook for containership newbuildings recently passed 15m teu. Its analysis suggests the pipeline could come close to 16m teu by year-end.
About 40 additional megamax newbuilding contracts may support that move. Maersk and Yang Ming contracts are expected soon, while CMA CGM and MSC deals are believed to have been signed but have not been confirmed by Alphaliner. The figures are projections or unconfirmed market information, not final totals.
