tonnes. The design, developed independently by Huangpu Wenchong, emphasises high container intake, operational flexibility, service speed and energy efficiency. Huangpu Wenchong has previously delivered six smaller containerships to ASL Shipping, comprising two 1,900 TEU vessels and four 1,600 TEU vessels. The new order marks ASL Shipping's expansion beyond its existing sub-2,000 TEU fleet into the mid-sized segment. Since the 5,300 TEU SWAN Series design was launched in 2024, Huangpu Wenchong has secured orders for 17 vessels from domestic and international owners, including TS Lines. The latest contract reinforces the shipyard's position in the global feeder and mid-sized containership market.
