LC Logistics Returns to Newbuild Market with $236 Million Deal for Two Container Ships

around US$118 million. The vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2029. This order comes after LC Logistics has recently capitalized on a strategy of selling newbuild contracts at a premium, transferring several large container ship contracts to MSC-controlled entities over the past two years, and now re-entering the orderbook to support its long-term fleet strategy. Industry observers note that LC Logistics' approach demonstrates a competitive edge by treating ships as both operational assets and monetisable investments, leveraging market timing to optimize its fleet portfolio.
