UK's Graig group has finally ordered its newly designed fuel-efficient MARLIN 2000 Blue container feeders at China's Jinhai Heavy Industry.
The Cardiff-based company has signed up for three of the type, and holds options for a further three vessels.
And it is understood that the series could be extended up to twenty further vessels including other MARLIN designs.
Graig says finance support is being led by a major European bank and China’s EXIM Bank.
The first two vessels are scheduled for delivery in August and September 2013 with subsequent vessels to be delivered in pairs every two and half months.
The MARLIN series of designs has been developed by Wärtsilä, together with Graig and classification society DNV. The designers claim that the ships delivers approximately 30% improved fuel efficiency per TEU carried.
Graig's plans to order the ships were first announced in early 2011, and progressed to the Letter of Intent stage by July of that year. The plan was put on ice because of turmoil in the liner sector, although there were also suggestions that Graig was waiting for shipbuilding prices to fall even further.
