Taiwan's Evergreen Line has ordered 500 FEU in reefer boxes for US$4.4 million from Shanghai Reeferco Container, a unit of Hong Kong's Singamas Container Holdings, according to the Shipping Gazette. Evergreen told London's Containerisation International that "reasons for the investment are to replace existing ones and for business needs. These new reefer containers are for all trades."
Taiwan's Wan Hai and Yang Ming have also ordered new containers. Wan Hai has bought 1,800 reefer boxes for the east coast of South America trade.
Wan Hai boxes were bought from China International Marie Container (CIMC) for US$9.3 million, paying between $3,808 and $9,150 per unit. Evergreen bought its boxes for $8,750 a piece.
Yang Ming is spending $24.5 million on containers, but little else was revealed in its stock exchange declaration.
