M/MARITIME Expands into the Feeder Container Segment While Reinforcing Its Dry Bulk Foundation

M/MARITIME has entered the feeder container segment through the signing of two 2,800 TEU newbuilding vessels with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), marking a targeted expansion of its fleet strategy.

The vessels will be constructed at HHI in South Korea, a globally recognized shipyard for high-specification shipbuilding. This selection reflects M/MARITIME’s consistent focus on quality and technical excellence, ensuring vessels designed for efficiency, reliability and long-term performance.

Built in line with HHI’s eco-efficient CON-GREEN design and compliant with IMO Tier III standards, the vessels will incorporate advanced energy-efficiency systems and high reefer capacity, supporting both operational flexibility and commercial competitiveness. Deliveries are expected from early 2028.

At the same time, M/MARITIME continues to strengthen its presence in the dry bulk sector through three long-term time charter agreements for newbuildings at reputable Japanese shipyards, including Oshima Shipbuilding, Onomichi Dockyard and Imabari Shipbuilding—long-standing partners of the Company. The charters range from five to ten years and include purchase options at the end of each term, with deliveries scheduled between 2029 and 2030.

These developments reflect M/MARITIME’s disciplined growth approach: reinforcing its core dry bulk activity while selectively expanding into adjacent segments. The Company remains focused on high-quality assets, strong counterparties and long-term value creation, supported by enduring partnerships with leading shipyards.
