Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. said it has won a $500m order to build five container ships for a German shipping company.
The deal calls for Daewoo Shipbuilding to deliver the ships, which can hold 4,700 20-
foot standard containers, to Hamburg Sud, one of the largest ship lines, by 2010, the company said.
The vessels will be built at Daewoo Shipping's yard in Romania, it said.
