Pacific International Lines (PIL) has signed letters of intent with two shipyards for the construction of a total of eight 13,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessels.
If confirmed, the order will be split evenly between Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. The vessels are scheduled for delivery across 2028 and 2029.
The potential newbuildings would further support PIL’s fleet renewal strategy and its transition towards lower-emission propulsion, aligning with the carrier’s longer-term sustainability and efficiency objectives.
