NOL Group finalises 12-ship order for Daewoo

The global shipping and logistic company now has a total of 12 vessels on its orders list with the addition of two 10,700-TEU vessels.

Neptune Orient Lines Group (NOL Group) on Monday finalized an order to build two new 10,700-TEU (twenty-foot-equivalent unit) container ships for delivery in 2012. These two vessels are part of a 12-ship order valued at US$1.2 billion to be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., a release from NOL Group said.

NOL first announced the project on 21 July.

The two organizations signed a contract to construct the 10,700-TEU vessels in a ceremony on 16 August in Seoul.

NOL said it is investing in new vessels to meet future growth needs and to replace vessels with charter agreements that will expire in the next few years.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
