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.
André M and GAS CORAL were named in China on 16 September as the country’s first ammonia-dual-fuel LPG/liquid-ammonia carriers. The 25,000-m3 ships were designed by Shanghai Ship Research and Design Institute and built by CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding for Tianjin Southwest Shipping. André M will become China’s first ammonia-fueled gas carrier classed by CCS when delivered.
