Alphaliner reports that Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine has issued a request for quotations for 11 24,000-TEU methanol dual-fuel vessels.

Evergreen is said to have asked six shipyards to submit offers. The shipyards in question are South Korea’s Samsung, Hyundai and Hanwha, as well as China’s Jiangnan Shipyard and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard and Japan’s Imabari.

The ships could cost up to $265 million each, with possible delivery dates in 2028 and 2029.

No ships of this size – known as megamaxes – have been ordered by any shipping line this year. French container line CMA CGM was the last to order a megamax ship, in June last year.
