The contract is worth 307.4 billion won, or about $226.4 million, with delivery due by the end of February 2030. The yard said the deal lifted its 2026 commercial vessel orders to 44 ships worth $7.5 billion.
RCL has ordered four more container ships from CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, working with China Shipbuilding Trading Co. Ltd (CSTC). The contract was signed on 29 Sep 2026 and follows Huangpu Wenchong’s recent 1,900 TEU order from Erasmus Shipinvest.
Strategic Marine has delivered two 40m, 550-passenger low-emission catamaran ferries to the Government of Bermuda ahead of schedule and within budget. The yard said the vessels were secured through a two-year global tender and are intended for Bermuda’s public transport and cruise tourism services.
