Asiatic Lloyd has returned to Dalian Shipbuilding for another pair of conventionally fuelled 7,100-teu container vessels. Broker reports indicate that the privately held German company placed the order six weeks after committing to a similar pair at the same Chinese yard. Alphaliner reports that each ship is priced at $91 million and is expected to deliver in late 2027 and early 2028 under long-term charter to Hapag-Lloyd.
The operator already controls six SDARI Sealion 7100-design vessels built in 2023 and 2024, all delivered by Dalian Shipbuilding. Asiatic Lloyd is headquartered in both Singapore and Hamburg and forms part of the Bunnemann family’s AL Group, which has interests in tankers, car carriers and dry bulk.
