Euroseas places order for two high-reefer capacity containerships in China

Each vessel will be equipped with over 1,000 reefer plugs. The design is optimised for high-reefer density trades to provide increased capacity for refrigerated cargo, the company remarked.

Aristides Pittas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Euroseas, noted that the global refrigerated container shipping market outlook remains positive.

He said, “we believe that this measured diversification into the specialized high-reefer segment creates an attractive opportunity within this niche market.”

The new vessels will be built to EEDI Phase 3 and IMO NOx Tier III standards.
