8月30日，我集团与海丰国际签订6艘1800TEU集装箱新造船合同和6艘选择权协议。我集团名誉董事长任元林，海丰国际董事局主席杨绍鹏等领导出席签约仪式。我集团董事长任乐天与海丰国际董事局副主席兼首席执行官杨现祥代表双方签署项目合同。

      新冠肺炎疫情在世界范围的蔓延，给航运和造船业带来巨大冲击，全球新造船订单大幅下降，行业持续低迷。尽管长航线的集装箱航运业受到欧洲新冠肺炎疫情的影响货量出现了下滑，但亚洲内部运量一直保持坚挺。我集团与海丰国际积极响应国家“国内国际双循环”相互促进新发展战略号召，持续研判国内外市场趋势，深化合作再拓展，联手打造能够满足亚洲内部航运市场增长需求的支线集装箱船。

      此次是我集团与海丰国际近年来的第4次签约。首批4艘2400TEU集装箱船于2017年11月底签约。2018年新增了2艘2400TEU集装箱重复船，同年双方签订3艘升级版带吊2700TEU集装箱船。至今年8月份，我集团已交付了其中5艘2400TEU集装箱，其余1艘2400TEU集装箱、3艘2700TEU集装箱将在明年1季度之前全部交付。期待我集团打造的这几批扩充入海丰国际自有集装箱船队的新船，能够助力其推进船队结构的改善，进一步巩固海丰国际作为亚洲领先航运物流公司的行业地位。

Newly signed 6 + 6 ships! Our Group and Haifeng International deepen cooperation and add new orders

Time：2020/8/31

On August 30th, our Group signed a new shipbuilding contract for six(6) units of 1800TEU Container Ships and an option agreement with Haifeng International. Mr. Ren Yuanlin, Honorary Chairman of the Group, Mr. Yang Shaopeng, Chairman of Haifeng International Board of Directors and other leaders attended the signing ceremony. Mr. Ren Letian, Chairman of the Group and Mr. Yang Xianxiang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Haifeng International, signed the project contract on behalf of both parties respectively.

The worldwide spread of new crown pneumonia has brought great impact to shipping and shipbuilding industry. The global new shipbuilding orders have dropped sharply and the industry remains in the doldrums. Although the Long-haul container shipping industry has been affected by the new pneumonia epidemic in Europe, the volume of cargo has declined, but the internal traffic volume in Asia stays strong. Our group and Haifeng International actively respond to the call of the national "domestic and international dual cycle" to promote new development strategy, continuously study and judge the domestic and foreign market trends, deepen cooperation and further expand, and jointly build branch line container ships that can meet the growth demand of Asian internal shipping market.

This is the fourth contract signed between our Group and Haifeng International in recent years.The first four 2400TEU Container Ships were signed at the end of November 2017. In the year of 2018, two(2) sister 2400TEU Container Ships were added, and three(3) upgraded 2700TEU Container Ships were signed in the same year.

As of August this year, our group has delivered five(5) 2400TEU Container Ships (See above photo), and the remaining one(1) 2400TEU Container Ship and three(3) 2700TEU Container Ships will be delivered before the first quarter of next year. It is expected that the new ships built by our group to expand into Haifeng International’s own container fleet will help improve the fleet structure and further consolidate Haifeng International’s position as a leading shipping and logistics company in Asia.
