Maersk will most likely exercise its option to order 10 more huge container ships to be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in June, its chief executive said on Wednesday, Reuters reports.
The world's largest container firm ordered ten 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit container ships in February with the option for another 20 similar vessels. Each vessel costs $190 million.
"The first decision will come in June and we do expect we will exercise that option for an additional 10," Nils Andersen told reporters after an industry event in Singapore.
