German shipowner MPC Container Ships (MPCC) has confirmed an order for two 1,600 TEU high-cube feeder vessels at China’s Fujian Mawei Shipyard, with options for more. The new ships, set for delivery in the second half of 2027, will be chartered for eight years (plus possible two-year extensions) to a leading global liner operator, expected to generate $92 million in revenue and $54 million in EBITDA. The $66 million investment is part of MPCC’s strategy to modernize its fleet with energy-efficient, shallow-draft designs optimized for European channels. Financing will combine equity and debt, supporting capital flexibility. MPCC continues to strengthen its position in the small-to-mid-size container segment, where much of the fleet is aging, and underscores the growing competitiveness of Chinese shipyards.
