Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine announced on 8 Apr 2026 that its subsidiary, Evergreen Marine (Asia), plans to order six 24,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container ships from South Korea's Hanwha Ocean. The cost per vessel is estimated between US$262 million and US$295 million, totaling US$1.572 billion to US$1.77
billion for all six ships. This order is part of Evergreen's 2026 newbuilding program, which now includes 29 vessels across three shipyards in China and South Korea. Earlier in the year, Evergreen ordered 23 container ships ranging from 3,100 TEU to 5,900 TEU from CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. The new six vessels mark Hanwha Ocean's first container ship order of 2026 and would bring the total 24,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel ships built by Hanwha for Evergreen to 12. This is Evergreen's third major container ship order since 2025.
