Peter Dohle Orders Two More 14,000 TEU Boxships in China

five months ahead of schedule. The 335-metre ship features a methanol-ready main engine, a shaft generator, and design provisions for alternative fuels. Deliveries for the newly reported pair are scheduled for August and October 2028. Dohle has been expanding its fleet across multiple size segments in recent months. In April 2026, the company ordered two 3,100 teu feeders at Chengxi Shipyard for around $48 million each, with delivery expected in 2029. That order followed four 2,900 teu feedermaxes placed at Huangpu Wenchong, slated for delivery in late 2027 and 2028. The owner has also reportedly been linked to an order for up to five 8,400 teu LNG dual-fuel vessels at Guangzhou Shipyard International, priced at roughly $121 million each, underscoring a broader push to renew and diversify its fleet across segments and propulsion technologies.
