Neptune Orient Lines Ltd (NOL) will reportedly charter two new large container ships for use by APL, its container transportation and logistics unit. The two vessels, each with a capacity of 5,500 teu, will be deployed by APL in Asia-Europe trade, the company reported. NOL officials said the two vessels, to be built at the Samsung Heavy Industries yards at Koje Island in South Korea, were scheduled to be delivered in mid-2001. NOL will charter the vessels from owner Greece-based Danaos Shipping Company for a period of five years or longer, bringing total NOL container capacity to about 215,000 teu.
