Cosco (Guangdong) Shipyard has won contracts to built three small containerships for an unnamed European shipping company. The contract price was not disclosed.

The three 1,750-teu vessels will be delivered in the second and third quarters 2019, according to an exchange filing from Cosco Corp (Singapore), which owns a 51% stake in the Guangdong shipyard.

Excluding this order, the global orderbook for handysize containerships (1,250 to 1,999 teu) currently stands at 74 vessels, equivalent to around 10% of the 748 vessels currently on the water, according to data from VesselsValue.com.
