Danaos Corp has made a significant move in the maritime industry by placing an order for two new container ships. The company, listed on the US stock exchange, has resumed its shipbuilding activities after a six-month hiatus. This decision marks a return to active fleet expansion through newbuildings. The deal involves an agreement with CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding in China, where the two 9,200-teu container units will be constructed. The total investment for these ships is approximately $210 million, with each vessel costing around $105 million. This development comes as a surprise to the industry, as Danaos Corp had previously announced a pause in new vessel plans just last August. The pause was due to concerns about full shipyards, delayed delivery dates, and an uncertain geopolitical climate.
