Tsakos Shipping and Trading has been revealed as the owner behind an order for four 2,800 teu boxships at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea. The ships, costing $42.7m each, will deliver in the first half of 2024.

Tsakos already has two similarly sized ships under construction at the same yard, ordered in May last year for just $37m per vessel.

Splash reported last week that fellow Greek owner Euroseas has also contracted Hyundai Mipo for a pair of 2,800 teu ships.
