The 2,038 teu series is designed with LOA 175m, a deadweight capacity of 23,802 mt on 10.5 m draft and a maximum cruising speed of 20.66 nautical miles. The design of the 2,038 teu series takes energy efficiency and environmentally-friendly aspect into account.

Moreover, all the ships delivered are certified with ‘Smart Ship’ notations by international well-known classification societies. The new buildings are part of Wan Hai Lines efforts to ensure their continuous pursuit of fleet upgrade in order to provide the most quality service to customers.

WAN HAI 287 will be delivered on July 5th at Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard. After delivery, she will join Wan Hai Lines’ Japan-Vietnam-Malaysia service to provide efficient delivery service among the corridor.

The charity donations represent part of Wan Hai Lines motto, ‘WE CARRY, WE CARE.’, as the company is committed to fulfil its corporate social responsibility, providing quality service to customers, and bringing love to society.
