Nikolas Martinos-led Thenamaris has ordered four 3,200-TEU container vessels at Chinese shipbuilder Hengli Heavy Industries, marking the Greek owner's return to container ship newbuilding. Deliveries are scheduled for 2028, and the four newbuildings have already been added to Thenamaris' fleet list on its website. The group's dry bulk and container ship division, Thenamaris ConBulk, is overseeing construction of the vessels, which will be fitted with open-loop scrubbers, shaft generators and alternative
maritime power, also known as shore power or cold ironing. Thenamaris ConBulk was established in 2020 and currently operates 24 bulk carriers and two container ships, including the 5,071-TEU vessels Seasmile and Seadream, which were contracted at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and delivered in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The order deepens Thenamaris' cooperation with Hengli, following a three-vessel Aframax/LR2 tanker order placed earlier this year. Overall, the wider Thenamaris group operates an active fleet of 50 tankers, 24 bulk carriers, seven LNG carriers, six LPG carriers and two container ships, alongside a 19-vessel orderbook comprising 12 tankers, three very large ammonia carriers and the four new container ships. Hengli Heavy Industries continues to attract container ship orders from Greek owners, having recently secured a two-vessel, 6,000-TEU order from Centrofin Management and a mid-sized container ship order from Minerva Dry.
